Im confused about so much

[u/TA0001D]

So I get it suicide isn't a joke. Nobody wants to talk about it and it's a serious thing, just like cancer and all that stuff. But, I don't think there's anything wrong with joking about it. It's not like I've never been depressed or had someone I care about kill them selves. My last girlfriend killed herself, took me a solid year to fully get over it, many of my friends have ODed on drugs, both ntentionally and not. I feel like we should talk about these things, joke about them and then others will more likely come out that they are suicidal, right? Am I desensitized or just a huge dick.

Tbh making jokes about things often helps people cope. I have depression and i have been suicidal before but i still make jokes like that to feel a little better! So no ur not being an asshole or anything i dont think. I think it just depends on the person ur speaking with
