- Have you ever had suicidal thoughts?
- Yeah. When I was young? Oh, yeah.
- Really? Why?
- Well, like other people… I guess. I didn’t know what I was living for.
- Hmm… I wonder if men are more likely than women to have suicidal thoughts due to feeling a lack of purpose or meaning in life.
- Interesting. I don’t know… It could be.
- I think traditionally men are driven by purpose because they’re often taught their value is tied to being a provider or protector, while women might feel more weight around caregiving roles and maintaining happiness in relationships.
- Yep, I think that’s true.
- What helped you move past those thoughts?
- Me? Nothing specific, really. I think it just comes with maturity… you start to understand yourself and things better with time, you know?
