Which of these categories would you say you fall into? I have you down as a blend of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. Note that many of the psychological motivations listed here are the same as those found in the psychological profiles of people who obsess over luxury watches. I'm filing that under "Things that make you go hmmmm..."1. Abusive or Controlling Individuals Some people use extreme emotional manipulation to control or dominate someone. In abusive relationships, they may say things like “You should just kill yourself” as a way to break a person down psychologically.2. People Acting Out of Anger or Cruelty In emotionally heated situations, some individuals lash out and say deeply harmful things they may or may not truly mean. This doesn’t excuse it — it still causes severe harm — but the motivation is impulsive cruelty rather than a desire for actual self-harm.3. Bullies (online or offline) Cyberbullying and harassment sometimes escalate into encouraging self-harm. These individuals may be seeking:power or dominance attention a sense of superiority anonymity-fueled cruelty 4. Individuals With Their Own Psychological Problems Some people who are themselves distressed, unstable, or dealing with untreated mental illness may say harmful things because they are projecting their own pain or hopelessness onto others.5. People Who Don’t Understand the Severity of What They’re Saying Especially among teenagers, some repeat phrases they’ve heard online without understanding the real-world consequences. Still harmful — but rooted in immaturity rather than malice.6. Extremely Rare: Malicious Individuals Some people (very few) encourage self-harm because they find gratification in hurting others — a sign of severe psychological dysfunction. Important:Regardless of the motive, encouraging someone to commit suicide is always harmful, never justified, and often illegal . It’s a serious indicator that something is very wrong — with the situation, the relationship, or the person doing the encouraging.
