Society's contradictory views on suicide don't add up

Society views: Suicidal thoughts/ideation = attention seeking; Actual successful suicide = a tragedy (with spelling errors: 'sucessful' and 'tradegy')

This meme uses the widely recognized Confused Math Lady template to point out a glaring logical contradiction in common societal attitudes toward suicide. The text at the top lays out two common positions: first, that people who express suicidal ideation are dismissed as just seeking attention, and second, that when a person dies by suicide, it is universally labeled a tragedy. The four repeated panels of the confused-looking woman, with complex geometry and algebra formulas overlaid between them, represent the feeling of trying and failing to make these two conflicting views logically align, which is the core joke of the meme referenced in its original title: the views simply don't add up. Minor spelling errors are present in the text, including 'sucessful' (misspelling of successful) and 'tradegy' (misspelling of tragedy).

This meme was sourced from the Reddit r/Meme subreddit via an RSS feed, as provided in the additional context. It is a derivative work of the popular Confused Math Lady meme template, which originates from a 2018 interview with Brazilian actress Renata Sorrah in character as Nazaré Tedesco from the telenovela Senhora do Destino. This template has been a staple of internet meme culture since 2020, commonly used to express confusion over conflicting or logically inconsistent ideas.
