I don’t want to get into a big debate or anything,but as someone who has attempted twice before getting help, and has lost three brothers to suicide, I can tell you that you never know how many people do care about you. I hope things get better, stay safe and know that at least one internet stranger honestly does give a fuck.
They probably do, but you may have missed the signs. It might not always be an obvious sign (why would I tell my friends I care for them when in my mind, that’s a given?) but perhaps in indirect ways, like inviting you to events or outings, just sitting and listening to what you have to say, going shopping with you, just messaging you and saying hello, I could go on.
In my experience, depression can obscure these signs, but if you reflect on the interactions you’ve had with them, it might highlight them.
This sign assumes someone will care if I disappear, which sadly is not true.

If they care about us, don’t you think they would tell us?

It also assumes that people who reath that point are capable of caring, which is also usually not true
