Committing suicide

I feel like committing suicide because I can't get better at chess. I have attempted suicide in the past because I could not get better at chess. Whats the point of living if I can't get better at chess?

Don't know really, never felt the urge.

Just find something you are good at and leave chess behind. Just look at me. I'm happy enough to be mediocre.

If youre serious you need to get some help, and i hope you get it.  

If youre making fun of suicide simply because you cant improve at a game, its not funny.

take it from somebody that's been in a fatal car accident, these is many other reasons to live. not everybody can be a chess grandmasters or even master

I think you should be spending 100s of $ or even 1000s of $ before u committing suicide. Because u should use your all power on chess.Be motivate,enthusiasts, fun,enjoy life.Takes out negative thoughts & be curious about chess.Because curiosity satisfied your heart not the 2600+ rating.:)

You're already a better player than 99% of the people you meet. There will always be people who play better than you, and that's okay. 

Please take a step back and get some perspective on life. Take my word for this, happiness does not come from being great at chess. There are a lot of things in life that are much more important than chess, and I would encourage you to find some of them.

Take care of yourself. Get some help, you sound like you need it.

we can argue as much as we want, but clowns are forever

It is a joke I believe. If he wanted to commit suicide he would have left a note saying he already did it, if he is just posting about thinking of doing it them it is not serious.

I suspect you're right that it's not serious, but the second part really isn't true. There are certainly behavior patterns, but no hard-and-fast rules. People can be in a frame of mind where they don't want to die, but at the same time don't want to live, and so (consciously or not) seek attention and do things that constitute a cry for help. That mental paradox can be a dangerous and unpredictable place, because rationality doesn't play as big of a part in the equation as it should.

With posts like this, there is indeed a fair chance that it's a joke/troll posting. There's also a chance it's for real. On the internet it can be hard to tell.

In case of doubt, I prefer to treat it as genuine.

Why exactly would you post something like this on a chess website? That's clearly not the point of this place. Call a hotline. Get help immediately. Posting this in a chess forum is really not the right course of action.

And, if it happens to be applicable to this situation, suicide should NEVER be used in the context of a joke. That's about as immature as someone can get.

Hey bro, don't be so hard on yourself. Relax. You're gonna feel a lot better and your chess will improve.

This is dead serious! I really have attempted suicide in the past and I was put in a mental hospital after I attempted. Chess means everything to me.

What a load of shite!  People don't  commit suicide because they're crap at chess.  Maybe, it's because he/she has focused so much on improving their chess they have become a recluse and has not got a boyfriend/girlfriend and have become the oddball at the bottom of the street. Maybe it's because all the money has been spent on bacon and eggs and has forgot to keep some money for the gas meter. Maybe thats why the last attempt failed.......The gas ran out!

oh my god.. come on keep your mind in chees and think positive.. dont worry..  enjoy the trip of life.. 

Te mando un abrazo fraternal desde Mexico.. mi ultimo mensaje es.. olvidate de las cosas materiales y disfruta el regalo que dios te dio. 

Saludos

Look  at this way OP...If you off yourself...you will never improve your game.

What?!  Pay someone to tell you the brutal truth.

@fallingboulder. I sent you a challenge. We'll make a lesson out of it. Just because it's free doesn't mean the advice won't be priceless!
