What's the discussion about ?

I hope I am not intruding but, I believe women are more sensitive towards themselves than men are. Although this is completely anecdotal, men tend to be reckless on both the ends. This can also be interlinked to the social factors which develop such mental conditioning, more so because of the reactions, a societal setting offers to men. Whereas, women, in general seem to generate more empathy from the peers, this could be the best possible explanation as to why they seem to be open about their problems. Because they don't receive hostile reactions from the peers which don't seem to be the case with men.

Time zones are a wonderful thing.

Suicides don't happen based on a sole failure in life. There has to be enough piling up of problems behind the final motive. It's circumstances which dictate the move rather than a sole incident.

It's that instant trigger which makes those pile of problems seem never ending. That trigger could be anything per se. I myself pondered about how liberating an early death would be after reading Nietzsche. It was nothing suicidal, but the amount of adversaries in life seemed never ending. Mind needs constant motivation.

The solution to the problem imo is rigorous promotion of mental health among young men and also generally among all. The industry should hire more mental health professionals and check the mental well being of their employees. Every problem could be tackled in some way or the other, its when we don't get a viable solution we look in the despair and think of dying. A prolonged connection with those sort of thoughts which increases suicidal tendencies.

That's so true. Also mental health professionals mostly females, it's tough for them to understand the male psyche unless they are really experienced in their respective fields. We need more male psychologists. I think that's the key reason as to why men open up about their problems with their buddies rather than opting for professional help. They are often skeptic about the level of empathy that they won't have with the professionals.

I don't know if I am using the right words here but I do feel women generally are more pampered than men. Right from their childhood, everything seems a bar down for them when a guys' life seems to toughen up with every passing day, with more responsibility, more challenges and on a general basis less emotional support. And, this princess complex leads to emotional fragility on the other side, where with the chances of suicidal thoughts on facing a tough situation increases. Not generalising the fact, as exceptions always exist, but this is what I have observed. And I feel this contributes to the stat.

I am not sure about that actually. Babies are equally vulnerable to diseases as their immune system is weak. Gender doesn't seem to be an issue here.

My family never said anything related to not crying. But whenever I cried publicly, I faced mocking rather than empathy. Somewhere down in the sub-conscious mind, I taught myself to not show emotions publicly.
