How do I convince a suicidal friend that life is worth living?
If it's that hard to think of a reason then maybe it's not.
>>25436489
It's not really worth it
maybe you should kill yourself since you came to /r9k/ for advice on fucking suicide, nigga call a hotline or something.
>>25436505
But I don't want them to die.
>>25436489
You can't. The darkness has already taken them.
You're asking the wrong people...

Play him this song.
Remind him about all the cool videogames and series which are going to come out
Remind him of the coming age of VR
Remind him not to be such an emotional shit - that he gains absolutely nothing from dying now, where he has everything to gain by living still. Even pain is a marvelous and complex electrochemical reaction - life is value.
It's fucking not. I'm considering end g it this year myself.
I'm so fucking done. Everything I ever dreamed will never come true, and my situation gets worse every week. I fucked up with college because I had no spine back then and now am 27k in debt with a shit degree. Nobody wants to hire me for any job.
Despair would be the word to describe my daily life, but I don't think that accurately describes it. There has to be something more accurate, but I don't know what word that would be. Really kind of wish I would just die in a gas leak or something.

>Not just letting him do what he feels he wants to do.
>Not agreeing to wait until your own time is up and meet him on the other side. If there is one.
Wow m8 you're just, wow.
>>25436489
Is the friend you, OP?
>>25436684
I know it's selfish, which is why I'm avoiding saying stuff like "if you do it, ____ will miss you".
I just don't think I'll ever forgive myself if I let him die.

what kind of namefag are you?
>>25436532
hopefully that_should b enuff
>>25436532
tell them that you don't want them to die, it's selfish but it's true because you love them and if they love you enough then they will carry on.
This isn't about logic or reason, it's about getting what you want and what you want is for him to live life. So show him a life that you think is worth living, take him out or meet up with him.

/r9k/ can't really help since a lot of the people here need it themselves
>>25436637
>he has everything to gain by living still
how so? if he wants to die, he probably isn't gaining much by living
You don't because life is a joke if you aren't 6ft tall and very attractive. Absolute nightmare. Let him go.

By playing MGS4 on Big Boss hardmode together.
That's not how suicidal ideation works. You're just going to make them feel more isolated and more guilty for feeling like this, driving them closer to suicide. If you want to help, get to where they are and physically force them to a therapist specializing in this, for medication and counseling.
>>25436489
friend of me convinced me some years ago by kissing me hugging me and confessing his love to me
i mean it worked so its worth a shot
>>25436489
Give him an unloaded pistol and tell him to take his life. If he hesitates, tell him to hold onto that. If he makes an attempt, tell him to seek help immediately.

i'm not gay
should i lie and pretend to be gay?
>>25437452
desu if you were, which you probably aren't. It wouldn't be half as bad as if you weren't.
Honestly though. Your main reason for wanting this guy alive is because you wouldn't "forgive yourself"
>this guy may have had some kind of mental breakdown he can't recover from amassed from all the wisdom he's collected in his life and decides to end it to ease his ordeal
>Nah I'll feel bad if he's dead
I could understand if you wanted his dick or something, but honestly, are you going to care that he's still alive in three or for years if you decided to talk him off a ledge?
Based on the effort you're putting into this, it does sound like he's pretty sure about what he wants.
I'm sure HE won't forget you stopped him from ending it if it gets worse. That may be what you want, shit.
Faggots who say they will kill themselve will never do it
>>25437452
maybe just show him how much you care i hated gim at first cause he not only confessed his love but also took my gun from me and destroyed it he forced me into seeking professional help (he physically forced me he is stronger than me he just shoved me into his car and brought me there wouldnt let me leave etc. ) but later i understood that he just did what he had to do and it worked out well in the end

thats the gayest song I've ever heard
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHcunREYzNY
play him this and then say good bye
>>25436489
you give him space.
>>25438998
yeah leave him alone with his thoughts thats truly a retarded idea
>>25436489
hard sell if there isn't something in this world that drives them. Life for its own sake isn't all that great
Tell your friend to take all his savings and go on a road trip to wherever
Who cares if it's dangerous, considering the alternate choice is suicide
Give him a quest or a challenge.
>>25436627
>not playing this to him

If you can't do it 364 days of the year, what makes you think trying only today will matter?
>>25436489
Give him drugs. If he get addicted he would to live longer to get more drugs
>>25436489
Suicide is reactive. There's nothing worth dying for.
>>25436684
>Wow.... Just.... Wow
Buy a bottle of bleach and drink it.
>>25439427
Sometime life is hell.
>>25440215
It's not worth dying for tho senpai.
Life is never worth living unless chad or stacy AND white. Haven't we empirically proved this by now?
>>25440215
Rather than ending that hell, why not make life hell for everyone else?

>>25436489
How are you going to convince yourself or I?
>>25439418
Actually best advice, senpai. Get him hooked on the H.
have sex with him/her
>>25436489
but it really isn't worth it
