Suicidal Friends...

[Dominicy]

Ok... My friend (more or less) is apparently stressed out over Warcraft... If that weren't bad enough, it's apparently because he's been levelling slow, which is apparently stressing him, and he's apparently having girlfriend trouble and job trouble, but, this is where things get bad...

He wanted to go run Zul Garrub (?) (Fourty man mid end game dungeon), and I didn't exactly feel like it because how late it was... That's when he starts bringing in the "Oh nooes I'm stressing you out by always asking you to bring me through dungeons, now I'm gonna shoot myself with this shot gun next to me."

Things go from bad to worse when he starts changing his story to that he's stressed.  That's when he just suddenly says."So, yeah, if you don't want me to go to an early grave, you'll want to run me through ZG." (Zul Garrub)

This is where I come to you guys for advice because a really close friend of mine rarely ever stays online to talk about much anything, and he's pretty much the only person *I* (the guy who seems to be his friend's counselor) can come to advice easilly for.

Anyways, I don't know what to do with him any more.  I told my brother when he first saw him."From what I see, if I don't do this crap for him on the drop of a dime, he's going to start threatening me." What do you know, he did, only surprisingly, he didn't threaten mailing me bombs or some such stupid crap, he threatened his own life...

I know it's a bit unclear but I'm stressing out worrying about him, doubt I'll be sleeping, and I'm really worried about him... So what should I say?...

Umm... Sorry, no idea. I fail at anything that has to do with real life or other people.

But please don't say Warcraft, say World of Warcraft or WoW, because that crappy MMORPG is not the brilliant RTS series known as Warcraft.

Don't try to solve it yourself. Refer it to someone who can actually help with stuff like this, like a psychiatrist.

Let him die. If a game is stressing him out mean he's some mindless idiot that can't figure the world around him. If he grows up he'll become another selfish adult that dies without archiving anything.

He dies, comes back and try again, cause this time he FAILS.

[Dragonium]

Ignore him. He's just saying it for attention and/or to get you to do stuff for him. Have no sympathy, or he'll figure that he can do this stuff all the time to get what he wants.

[Apex]

1. Ignore him, he's an attention whore.
2. Quit playing World of Warcraft.
3. Enjoy the finer things in life, such as the fact that it's 75 degrees out.

BUT REV YOU QUIT BLAHBLAHBLAHBLAH

I haven't looked at this website since August.  After seeing some faggy threads I just shrugged it off, but this takes the ****ing CAKE.

Ho
Lee
****


SUICIDAL OVER WORLD OF WARCRAFT.  YOU CAN'T BE ****ing SERIOUS.  This is a ****ing joke.  I AM SORRY TO OFFEND YOU, BUT TO THINK YOU ACTUALLY ****ing BRING A PROBLEM LIKE THIS TO THE FLOOR OF THE INTERNET MAKES ME DIE LAUGHING.  AND THEN TO THINK THAT SOME OF YOU ARE TAKING THIS **** SERIOUSLY MAKES ME LAUGH EVEN HARDER.

I cannot believe that a human being intelligent enough to type out a sentence can't see JUST HOW MUCH OF AN ATTENTION WHORE THEIR FRIEND IS BEING. Let alone how ****ing ridiculous the concept of a human being considering suicide because THEY'RE NOT LEVELING FAST ENOUGH.

I don't even need to give advice.  How is this not self explanatory? HOW?

[Dominicy]

More'er less I saw the "let him" suggestion coming.. Honestly, at this point, I think that, through a combination of getting seriously pissed at him for even threatening me, I convinced him out of it, but I can't honestly believe that he has a shot gun next to his computer desk, so if it comes down to it, yeah, I'll ignore him, otherwise, I'm atleast going to talk to him now and then, I assure you though, he pretty much blew any good things he had with me.

EDIT: Wow, Rev was posting just as I was...  Anyways, no, honestly I don't believe him that he will, but he's surprised me before with things that he did, so honestly, I don't want to take any chances with this.  Ok, call me what you want for that, I don't care, because I don't HONESTLY believe that he is mentally stable...

If anything, I'm worried what's going to happen assuming he even has it in him to kill himself, because I told him, I'll tell you guys,"No, I don't exactly want to feel like I helped someone get the motivation to kill himself because I didn't take him to a stupid Dungeon in a VIDEOGAME without complaining."

But call me what you want, I don't care, I stick by that.

Apex has the idea. I mean, I play MMORPG's, but they're just games to me.

There were times when I was younger when I threatened to take my life. Yeah, dumb idea. People do that for attention, but very rarely do they ever seriously consider it.

[ZeroKirbyX]

Ignore him. If he offs himself, oops.

[Ben]

yeah..... this is retarded. I dont know wether to feel bad that you have to deal with this, or give you a verbal slap for befriending this idiot.

Ditch him. If hes going to guilt trip you with suicide because of some mmo crap, hes a retard. And frankly, youre a retard for not seeing this straight up.

My Advice:  Tell this person they are a retard. Walk away. Reflect.

[Dominicy]

Na, he was relatively normal when we first met, he found out how old I actually am, THAT was when things started to get bad in the first place because he started taking advantage of me.

The way I see it, he apologizes, starts kissing up again, asks for something, I tell him point blank."No."

or...

He quits the game for two-three days, comes back and does the above, either way, he's screwed as far as me dealing with his begging.  If anything, I'll use him as a slapstick if he starts talking about it again.

Wrongest statement of the week.

You have the right idea. Don't let him be a penis and force you to be sympathetic. Good man.

Off-topic: How you doing on MHF2, dude? HR5 is pretty sweet. I'm currently HR3 and scraping along with mah Devil Slicer. ^_^

You're doing better than me at this one.

[aboutasoandthis]

Have you met this guy in real life? Hopefully you haven't.

If so, why?
