I know that you couldn't help feeling bad if you heard your choice to not like someone was the reason that a person committed suicide. But please realize that the person who committed suicide made the choice to end their life - NOT YOU. Every single person in this world has had someone not like them at one time or another or been rejected at times. That is simply part of life. You choosing not to be friends with this person or choosing not to date this peron is NOT the root cause of this person's despair - there was most definitely something much deeper going on in this person's life to make them feel that suicide was the only way out. There were far deeper issues this person had that drove them to choose death. Understand that suicide is a form of selfishness - it completely disregards the feelings of that person's family, friends, co-workers and God. Please don't spend your life blaming yourself, but use it as a reminder to always be compassionate in the way that you deal with others.

I don't think you should do it, because good things often come along when you least expect it. I came from a crap home too, but I managed to find someone, live a good life. But I think that if you do get to the point of not caring at all about anything, why waste that feeling on killing yourself? You could use that to do something crazy like join the circus or runaway to hollywood and try to become a star or something lol. Have you watched that movie "Into the Wild" I recommend it to you. Hell, do what that guy Chris in the movie did, but don't kill yourself. I once heard a man say that if the Earth was an hour long, dinosaurs lived on it for 3 seconds, and humans not for even a second long. So if we are so insignificant, shouldn't we be able to live this meaningless life exactly the way we want to?

First I would feel a state of shock, then sadness. Of course it would make me feel terrible.
However, if I had to do it all over again, I would still have to reject him/her. The person obvious had some serious problems and wasn't dealing with them right. This person needed a psychologist and a family to help them cope with their problems.
You know even if you didn't reject him, then that probably wouldn't have changed the results. Changes are that his problems go back a long way, and that there were some chemical imbalances in his brain which resulted in severe depression. His family should have picked up that there was something wrong, but didn't realize how serious it was.

It is not for you to feel bad about it, if you did not like them there is nothing more to it. People need to realize that there is more to life than just one person or just one passion.
Life is meant to be enjoyed with friends, family and to be experienced with all of its joys and shortcomings.
Someone who commits suicide is taking the easy way out and leaving the suffering to those they leave behind.

If that is the case for you, then my deepest sympathies. In fact, I worked with two people who had a brief affair. They agreed to go their separate ways, but after a few weeks, the man wanted to return to the relationship. When the woman spurned him, he committed suicide in front of her door.
This is important: It is NOT your fault. Not even in the slightest! It's horrible, and damaging to you, but it is not and never could be something that you might have changed, in one way or another.
Good luck.

Sad although clearly such a person had serious issues that did not really involve me!!!
VERY VERY FEW people would actually do this.
If it happened to you, I'm sorry for your loss but its not really your fault. The person needed help and did not find it or refused it.
Hope you not being manipulated by somebody threatening this tho. If you are, talk to counselor or rape crisis center.

Disgusted and angry. It's possible that there would be a small element of guilt; that's natural. But I wouldn't wallow in it.
Assuming I wasn't extremely, actively and maliciously mean to that person, that is. If I had been, then I'd accept some of the fault.

Personally I would feel very guilty and try to find a way to live with it.
Even though the person who committed suicide had much bigger problems than me.

i'd feel bad i didn't get them help but not bad that i rejected them because obviously they had other depression issues and it would have been a bad relationship anyways. i mean if there were no signs that something like that is going to happen there really isn't anything you could have done.

It's not your fault if some one is so depressed and miserable that they end their life because your rejection was the straw that broke the proverbial camel's back.
Some one doesn't usually kill him/herself over just one thing. It builds up over time.
One person cannot be responsible for another person's happiness and should not be made to feel that way.
