I’ve also seen ppl use “Kyle” to refer to toxic men for some reason.

and our boy Kyle broflovski is the top result in Google images (NOT Kyle Rittenhouse, who is messed up and unwholesome)

The first search result for Karen in Google is in reference to the pejorative term.

Same with Duck Duck Go Go.

Can't help but wonder what that says about society in general. Imagine extra-terrestrials using search engines to learn about us toxic humans. :rolleyes:

Kyle? LOL....well...what goes around, comes around I guess. ;)

One of my coworkers has a son named Kyle.. I wonder if her son ever searched up his first name into Google before

This is the first I heard of the use of that name. Not particularly common, but it may be relative to one you spoke of.

Funny, that's one thing after all these years I have avoided. Running my own name through a major search engine . Though I did once find it in the IMDB. LOL...I thought it was a bit creepy. But of course it was rather flawed as well.

If I run my real name through a search engine the top result is for a singer from the 1980’s.

I feel really uncomfortable by statements that imply that a person is going to
”commit suicide.”

I’ve struggled a lot with these thoughts and so has one of my close friends.

Yeah, that is a bit unsettling. Suggest they see a counselor, give them the suicide hotline, and mention it to their significant other. There is not a lot you'll be able to do to change their feelings.

Also, not everyone has the same feelings about it. Some really mean it, some don't. Some toss it out as an off-hand remark; some do it for attention. You have no way of knowing. I wouldn't just blow it off.
 
It's something I joke about with my best friend as a way to process the emotions that come along with it. We've both survived suicide attempts and lost loved ones to suicide. If we couldn't joke about it, we might just dwell and suffer alone.
 
I thought Sheila meant girl/woman in Aussie slang.
Yes, it says on Google.

Hearing people talk about suicide doesn't make me feel bad, it just isn't something to take lightly. It is difficult to know if they serious or saying it for some other reason.
 
As someone who has attempted before, I think unfortunately a lot of times people assume that someone is saying it for attention or to get a rise out of someone, and they ignore other warning signs and then it is too late.
But that's not to say that there aren't people who say it and are being not serious or being manipulative, because I have encountered those types of people too.
Sometimes it's just hard to tell, sadly.

When someone says something like this to me, my initial reaction is to try to find them resources, but other than that I feel sad and helpless, because a lot of times you can't do anything to stop someone who has made up their mind and I have lost a few friends this way :(
