Do you do your best to provide positive contributions to Fluther?

Asked by jonsblond (43668points) January 24th, 2018

I didn’t quite know how to word this. I’ve been thinking a lot lately about some former users. Users who have committed suicide. I know of at least 3–4 over the years. One was last summer.

This member contacted me and wanted to visit my husband and I. He lived a few hours from us. He was in our neck of the woods and I blew him off. A month later he killed himself. I wonder if things would be different if I or any others had reached out and made an effort. I wish I could have that moment back.

Do you do your best to show compassion when others are hurting and looking for support? Is your opinion more important than the feelings of the user who is struggling?
