Guilt Tripping >_> Maaaaan. Stigma still sticks hard in describing the impression from another.
When people say suicide, they bloody mean it. If there was ANOTHER WORD, it'd be used. Suicide goes along the theme with one's perception of the self--you can say disappear, etc, whathave you, the meaning is what's important as it's what's being worked with by the person.
Now saying things doesn't necessarily mean they'll do it,
but the thought at the time it had occurred was pretty real.When people gross over//cover the idea of suicide in commonplace, this is the part usually forgotten--the context, of the timeline, of exactly when and where thoughts occur.
And it's pretty much taken very seriously.
But in casual times--when used totally out of context that it could be taken very differently, like over the internet with itself being as the only context,
take it seriously anyway. You'll be following whatever you do -up later on, and that's what also matters.
E: And to clarify--the notion of 'doing it for guilt tripping' is only a grain of truth into it (It's only true for the more 'casual' occurrences, and even then, exceptionally rare); but it's that there is truth -- and at times that matters usually to those who commonly experience it
in the abstract that the meaning may have a different idea to them...and/or given how widespread the idea is, it can be very diluted for those who may not have a better way in communicating, at the time when it was said. [Of course this can't describe everything :v as that'll be describing quite a lot that takes a lot more time, but the point is it can be said casually or otherwise--what matters is that it's taken seriously, even if the person saying it may have just said it or learned it by passive observation, by observing others and the effect it has caused--hence why I mention the
"follow up" being important. Many instances of observing people saying this can be really mixed from a lack of context.]
But it ISN'T TRUE that it's guilt tripping as a valid
generality. -_- When someone says that--there's mostly always context that observers do not know. And it is best to help them out or connect to them more rather than leave them. This context is important.
Beware of the depth of what context you're delving into.
Edit
2: And yes nobody here is saying that it usually is [lesser form of meaning]. All the pointyness here was to any reasoning that it really is like such.
...Moreso that I'm just :I at all the mental health stigma wafting about that aren't connected to any one person.
And how these impressions can stick. >_<
