Mental illness is incredibly difficult to recognize in-person, let alone over the phone. Either way, go fuck yourself.

I have no idea what the cause was.
Good bait
Perhaps the separation from a good friend is what caused the seeds to sprout. You could have inadvertently caused his death, but you'll never know for sure.
Also, fuck the people this thread. Just everyone saying "My condolences" or "Oh I'm so sorry to hear that...". No you aren't. You don't even know the guy. Don't pretend to care just because you can't add anything to the discussion. Are you going to lose sleep over this guy's death? Has hearing about Turkey's friend really emotionally impacted you that you can't function for the rest of the day? No it hasn't. Fuck off.
Everything you ever do in your short life is pointless when put into the perspective of the universe. Even if you do manage to accomplish something worthy of note after you die, the planet you did it on will eventually burn and be consumed by our sun. The dust left of your accomplishments will then eventually be sucked into the black hole at the center of our galaxy into a singularity, making everything you have ever done even more insignificant than it already has been.

Has hearing about Turkey's friend really emotionally impacted you that you can't function for the rest of the day? No it hasn't. Fuck off.SpoilerIt should be noted that Turkey likely knows this. In fact, I'd say that mostly everybody here commenting knows this.Loss isn't something that's foreign to people. I'm sure everybody's been there before. This is one of those moments, where words are forced. Not because people don't care. But it's because even if they did care, their words do almost nothing.There are no words that you can say to anybody who has lost someone personal in their life. None. No words will remove the pain, no words will magically fix things.And yet there you are, left with the choice of either not responding, or trying, desperately, to say something, for the sake of not leaving the conversation blank, devoid, and empty.Even if, no matter what you say is going to phase right through the person you're giving your condolences to, people still choose to try and say something.The death of somebody personal to you has no words to help it, or fix it. Nothing can be said to not make the situation awkward. Nothing can be said, that doesn't sound forced for the sake of it.Let's say, for a moment, that this was your thread. Would you prefer total, absolute silence as a response? For somebody to actually respond with something more emotional than text and "my condolences?"You are right. I don't know Turkey's friend. I had no emotional investment to him. Nor any contact, even. It might sound heartless to say it, but no, I don't care about him. Because I'm not there. I don't exist in that present moment to see all the people it's going to affect, to acknowledge that somebody is now gone from this world permanently.But I understand the feeling from my own experiences. As I'm sure everybody else here does, who've ever lost people or things close to them. So logically, giving condolences is the best anybody here can do here. We lack the emotional ties to truly say sorry or necessarily feel bad over it.So in it's place, we choose the closest thing we can to convey it, because while we might not feel the loss of Turkey's friend, we understand what it means and it feels to go through such a thing.

FINALLY someone here who gets it.And yet the people who say everything is worthless continue to sit on their asses behind their keyboards, typing up some asinine pseudo philosophy to make themselves think they are enlightened and have all the answers, and that somehow everyone else who thinks otherwise is ignorant or less of a person.Yet these same people still continue to exist, and do not bother to stop existing. If life is so pointless, worthless, and devoid of enjoyment like you make it out to be, just end it already.but of course we all know you have neither the will nor mindset to really do it. Truly that is the sad and miserable fate we're doomed to have.
People who say the stupid shit Tackel said have never struggled.

I've struggled having to pay rent while on a low wage job. Does that count? Or does it have to be profound, like sucking a guy off for a couple of bucks to get a meal for the day?Struggle doesn't make your life any less significant. You are still a blip in the cosmic calendar whether you are born into poverty or live a life of luxury. What's the point you're trying to make?I'm saying no you don't understand what this or something like this feels like, and you're in here peddling you bullshit philosophy as if anybody gives a damn.
