That poor woman. Unimaginable courage. I wish her peace now
Oh my goodness this is really awful and sad. I often wondered about the sheer amount of stress and mental anguish that must have haunted her. Poor girl.
Y’know I’ve had a really shit day finalising moving house, things have gone wrong and I got bloody angry earlier. But hey, I’ll be there again tomorrow carrying on because what happened to me today is damn trivial.
Sad news, may she rest eternally in peace.
All due respect, but I read your comment as trivializing her lengthy, arduous battle with suicide, and I’d very much like to give you the benefit of the doubt — not only for the benefit of those who thankfully have no idea what it’s like, but most of all for those that do. 🙇🏽♂️
Edit: Typical. Reactionary downvotes in complete disregard to the potential for risk to others — from either confident ignorance or myopic childishness. Bravo, team. Way to show your colors.
I’m sorry but…how do you read it that way? To me it comes across quite clearly as just the opposite, and your comment comes across as incredibly rude and looking for a fight. I suspect that’s also where the downvotes came from.
How compassionate. Well done, all. Bye, silly island. 😗
I’m sorry but I genuinely don’t understand what you’re saying here.
My above comment was not meant rhetorically by the way. I genuinely don’t understand how you read Dia’s comment as trivialising, and I would like to understand.
Thanks Zag. Jesus I had a completely fucked day in so many ways, then I read about that poor girls misfortune. It made me realise that I’m ok in the big picture. As you’re aware I wasn’t trivialising anything. Some people just need to be a bit of a shit cunt I suppose.
Apart from that, I hope life has been treating you well.
Yeah I’m doing well. I saw your recent post in !australia didn’t go over very well. Don’t take it too personally, I think that’s probably just because Lemmings tend to really dislike Facebook.
Cheers. Yeah I assumed it was the Facebook thing. Strange world.
Yeah bye, don’t come back.
Cmon Dia, that was unnecessary. You had the opportunity here to be the better man. Why not take it?
Haha. Oh I’m far from perfect. Been moving all week and I’m very tired. It’s been one hell of a gruelling time I can tell you. And y’know, at times one can react in a certain way, and that was my response.
Yeah that’s fair. I’ve had more than my fair share of rude replies to someone who was being unnecessarily rude to me in the past, like @otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com was to you above, even if their rudeness was, as I suspect, unintentional. I’m still honestly confused about how they could have read your comment the way they did.
Personally I’m not a fan of comparing misfortunes as a way to feel better or worse about your own but I also think it’s basically a cultural thing that people do without really meaning any harm and something that you can’t expect everyone to have really thought about and corrected.
Unintentional harm is still harm. Ever try starting an apology with, “I didn’t mean to, but…”? Same reason why trying to explain why your culpability is lessened by a lack of intent toward the results of your actions miiight not be the best choice.
Awwww bub, did sum peeps downvote you
Awwww noooo you’re soooooo hard done to.
You’re a weirdo and sad. Go back to Reddit and be a dick there buddy.
