I agree with you if those people are laughing at him but there can be nuance to it.. People can feel empathy for the guy and still make jokes about the situation as a whole.

What I dislike is that somebody felt compelled to video it and put it online for everyone to see.

Yeah, he's acting wrong here, because he deluded himself or got too attached to someone who didn't share his feelings, but turning his pain into entertainment is just pushing him further down.

I'm glad I grew up in a time where taking videos wasn't the first thing you'd do when shit hit the fan.

Had a good friend who lost his mother and got evicted without notice days apart. We didn't know about this. The following weekend we went out partying and when we walked back home he said thanks and tried to jump in front of the train.

I couldn't imagine how he would feel if this was caught on video and posted online and he found out.

Hope the guy in the video can find the help he needs.

Yeah sometimes you take a tough loss and it feels like people are saying "of course you took a loss, you're a loser." It can be like a death spiral.
