Need to understand triggers and suicide

Posted by Deneb on October 13, 2005, at 20:42:10

Hi people
I want to ask you guys a question and I need answers. I need to understand this. I'm not sure that I really understand it.
Why is suicide such a trigger for people? I don't understand why people get so upset over this. It is *I* who will die, not *you*. I don't get upset when I read about methods. I don't get too upset when others mention suicide.
I understand about using descriptions of cutting as triggering. They "trigger" people into cutting etc. I don't get it for suicide though. Talking about suicide doesn't trigger me into suicide. Does it trigger you into thinking about committing suicide?
I also really really don't understand why people who have lost loved ones to suicide are especially sensitive to suicide triggers. Shouldn't they be the most sympathetic to those with suicidal ideations? Why do many get angry? I really don't get this.
Is there something wrong with me if I don't understand the seriousness of suicide? Is it bad of me to think about it now? Why is it so taboo? Will people get angry at me if I kill myself? It is *I* who will die, not *you*. I don't get it. :-(
