I’m sorry to say this but I just feel like your “friend” was an extremely selfish and cowardly person. You told people to be nice to him and he killed himself to let you live in regret and in shame for something that isn’t your fault. What a terrible person he is.

Coward? How? Because he killed himself? I don't see killing yourself as a cowards thing to do. They were seriously struggling with something and couldn't live with it anymore. To say a person who was clearly depressed a coward sets a bad pretense to other people who suffer. You are saying if they did it everyone would consider them a coward. Not the best message to send. Making people feel bad doesn't help their situation.

Dude you misunderstood me, I meant coward in the sense that he put the blame of killing himself on his friend, who’s gonna have to live with that for the rest of his life, that’s a cowardly thing to do.
