Yea I found out from my server at a restaurant that my cousin killed himself. She was his friend. It had been months since it happened and no one told me that he passed, even though I saw my family recently. Fucked up.

People get really weird about suicide. Almost like they think talking about it will incentivize others to kill themselves.

Apparently it actually can, which is why news reports are careful about it and it shouldn't happen in TV soaps or fictional dramas often

Yea I think my parents and uncle’s side are just old school and don’t like to talk about tough subjects.
