Am I a messed up person?
My friend said he's having suicidal thoughts and i just told him to do whatever he feels with make him happiest, or at least minimize his pain.
We agreed that life means nothing aside from whatever you ascribe to it. But I'm alright with this while seeking out pleasures and curiosities for the time being, while he can't bear the mental strain.
Just remember this if/when it happens to you.
I had a very close person kill himself. I was pissed because he had problems he could have solved...
But overall I feel like you have a right to your own life, and he was within that right, right mind or not. I don't know how he was feeling before he pulled the trigger. But I like to think it was better than how he felt before he decided it was finally time.

I know this affects people differently, but when I told a friend of mine several years ago that I was thinking of suicide, he said 'So why don't you do it?'
It really made me think, like yeah.. Why the fuck don't I do it? I've been thinking about it for ages, and it's made me realise I don't actually want to kill myself, I just entertain the thought of it. Since then it's allowed me to explore my thoughts with a level of comfort I may not have had otherwise. For me, his complacency on the issue kind of brought the issue down to earth for me. So.. It's not always bad if someone is casual about these things.
