I wonder what makes men the world over decide that suicide is the best option.

Because if you don't have a partner and high paying job, you aren't just worthless, you are a burden.

Hey now, you can have both of those things and still be a burden.

I'm going to need proof

It just seems like some of y'all want a self fulfilling prophecy.

I mean to an extent, it is a self fulfilling prophecy. Whether or not it's the case, it's often felt my men that they have to be the breadwinner, or at least the point of strength. They can have people around them that tell them otherwise, but if they don't feel like they measure up then that's what it will be.

People don't often just commit suicide because they're like "I guess this is how the math works out", they felt, or were told, or told themselves, that things can only be better if they're gone. In every case, they won't be, but that's where their mental journey led them
