I don't want to be an ass or anything, but i don't get this part "never understood how to socialize with other human beings." seems like he actually did know how to socialize with others. Maybe not just girls. Seems like that would be his Youtube account, dunno has it been here already. Do you even know what asperger's syndrome is? I know it is getting a lot of shit today and people are loosely defining it more and more, which is starting to give it less credibility (in the sense that how truly functional the person is socially is unknown). But regardless, all you honestly have to do is wikipedia the word. Seriously. And the FIRST sentence that comes up is Asperger syndrome or Asperger's syndrome (English pronunciation: /æspɜrɡɜrz/) is an autism spectrum disorder that is characterized by significant difficulties in social interaction, along with restricted and repetitive patterns of behavior and interests. In correlation with what the guy said himself. With very little research you can see someone posted this on the first page: (He made a post how his life otherwise is going good, grades good, good income, everything fine and dandy except for his social life that seemed to have been affected by his disease.) | ||

But I can't feel sorry about someone dieing because of a suicide, it was their decision, and they figured it was the right thing to do. I also think that people who resort to suicide instead of really confronting their problems are of a weak mental fortitude. I however do feel sorry for the people who had to see the morbidity of the video and are not able to handle it, I can completely understand that. But I will never feel sorry for someone who killed themselves, especially one who made it such a spectacle. So you can't feel sorry for some one whos life sucks and they have "weak mental fortitude"? You are a fucking asshole. The amount of posts in this thread saying suicide is for the weak, cowards, or some other ridiculous statement make me want to puke. How fucking dense can you be. People who are at the point where they will kill themselves either have had the world shit on them or have some serious mental problems that require professional help. This guy had aspergers which makes it difficult for him to socialize with others. Obviously his sydrome affected his life and mental state greatly. Who gives a shit about people who saw a video of a guy they didn't want to see. I imagine the torment going through this young guys head his entire life was far worse then a glimpse of this video. | ||

Indeed, its a paradox, on one hand he claims he cant feel sorry for said individuals, but on the other hand he atributes their actions to inate cirscunstances, so basically, you hes an asshole ? | ||

Few things in life are as painful as what one could maximally experience, painfully, in life, by logic of tautology and therefore, no further conclusion might be reached from my statement. I offer the deepest condolences to all those who have been affected in a neutral or negative way. I offer only a scowl to any and all trolls who derive any degree of schadenfreudist pleasure from this tragedy. O woe is the woe of the woeful. | ||

I think volunteering or working at a mental health facility would be very eye opening to a lot people. The lack of understanding and compassion for those who are struggling with something very serious is sad. It makes life incredibly harder for them because they already feel worthless and when so many people avoid them or pass their naive judgement, its like proof to them that they really are worthless. So very sad. | ||

He says that people who commit suicide are weak thats his opinion. Who are YOU to say that they aren't? What do you know about suicide to prove otherwise? Everyone is different and acts differently to certain situations. Sure aspergers wouldn't have helped but many people have aspergers syndome they didn't all commit suicide now did they? To say that someone is dense for not feeling sorry for someone who commited suicide is a load of shit some people are weak that is a fact. Most of us here are probably weak. I will say sure I am weak. I sometimes feel hard done by and that life is unfair yet I really have a better life than most people hell everyone who is on this forum gets to play starcraft, have the internet, has the ability to see this stuff. We have a good life and to just throw it away like that yes sure many people will say that is weak. So you can not say that they are an arsehole or dense for feeling that way when it is common sense for that reaction to occur. Maybe he was very strong maybe he wasn't we don't know him nor will we ever know him now because of what he has done. I just personally cant see any logical reason to kill yourself and yes logic doesnt play into a suicidal persons mind whatever It just seems so pointless. But yes I would say he was weak because I personally believe there is always a better way out. Like i said further up he isnt poverty stricken or stuck in a warzone hes in Sweden. A country which has one of the highest standard of living | ||

His opinion is ridiculous, ignorant, and wrong. Yours is too. I am very confident that I am right and you are both pricks. I didn't say he is dense for not feeling sorry for him. I don't give a shit about the guy who killed himself to be honest. I watched the video and It doesn't make me sad. However, I can sympathize with the young man that decided to off himself. I can say that I am not a big enough asshole not to be able to see that he needed help and he was very unhappy in his life. He isn't a coward or weak for taking his life, he was sick and needed help. Have some fucking empathy. It has nothing to do with the choice of suicide being logical or not. Why have so many people said that stupid shit blows my mind. | ||

People who blame flashback are retarded. Ok they could have done something about it. But first of one of the sites main themes is annonimity and freedoom of speech. Also the reason to why some people said stuff like "Ju do it" and "How long is this gonna take I have to get to work soon" is because on a forum like that there's a lot of trolls who just want the attention and after 10 fake posts and no one who has actually done it before people just think that it's not gonna happen and start to get mad at him because they think he's trolling. However most of the repsonses if you read the post weren't encouraging. They were either peopl who tried to make him change his mind or people just saying good luck in the after life which I don't think that's encouraging. Anyways this is my view on it. | ||

Just reading this one just gives me the chills. It must be horrid to feel so lonely that you have the urge to end your life, it must be a torment far worse than everything I could ever imagine. /Sad | ||
