I have a friend that concerns me a bit. I fear that over the next few years he might kill himself.
Is there anything I can do to prevent that
>>
What’s stopping you from just talking to your friend and being honest with him about how you’re concerned?

Cause I think if I was in his shoes I'd feel pathetic if someone did that to me
>>

Why? There’s nothing shameful about having someone care for you. But even if there was and he takes offense to it, that could be good too. Some people don’t want to change until they see how it affects other people. I think it’s better for him to feel a little embarrassed than for him to end up dead.

If you really don’t want to mention it to him though, maybe just invite him to hang out more. Get a drink or something and talk and make it a usual thing. Companionship is kinda the only thing you can do

Stop being his friend.

damn bro good advice
>>
Duck his dick if you are so sad about him...either ways you will shock him out of desperation.
>>
>>34066301
Be there for him. Be present and encourage him to seek help. If you ever have any genuine, actionable belief that he's going to hurt himself or someone else you call in a welfare check on him. That's worst case scenario but its better than him dying.
>>
If you really can't help you really can't help either cuz he's dumb ur dumb or he's too ridiculously poor or you're not rich enough maybe if you talked to him and he said well you've never helped nobody ever has all my problems are just being stuck in this bs but if he actually asked for help like that, well, of course you would take slight so, he probably could use some help and isn't begging because well maybe you should actually help I mean you are here asking us for help in helping, sometimes it seems people have the right idea, they might even tell the person hey you should move, well maybe they want to they just need the littlest bit of help eh

No, what happens to your friend is entirely up to him
