Generally? Because people come to your aid when you're experiencing that degree of mental distress. And honestly, some people do make empty threats for attention. Not that I condone it. I think that making people feel unimportant for wanting to kill themselves only perpetuates that feeling of self-hatred.

Some may perceive self-harm or suicide attempts as attention-seeking behavior due to lack of understanding mental health issues or stigma. In reality, these actions often stem from underlying emotional pain and a need for help or relief. It's important to approach these situations with empathy and support rather than judgment.
