Family thinks I'm contemplating suicide NSFW

Let me just start by saying that I absolutely am not doing that.

I have a good family that I've always enjoyed spending the holidays with. Our various holiday traditions are beginning to change as family size and locations have been changing over time and it's left me feeling rather sentimental. As a result, I contacted several family members to tell them how much their efforts over years of holidays have meant to me. Apparently this is too sappy and out of character for me and is the kind of thing someone often does before committing suicide. I now have several people asking if I'm "doing okay" and telling my father that they're "concerned" about my behavior.

I guess I'm glad people care about me, but it looks like there's another subject I need to study about NT society.

I suppose it is nice that they seem to care.

I've been suicidal for like 4 years now just can't bring myself to do it. Literally no one knows because I keep to myself

"I'm fine. Tell whoever asked you to text me that I'm fine too."

Someone is spreading rumors behind the scene and you should make that person feel uncomfortable.

In fairness what OP is doing is a major sign someone is about to commit suicide so I can understand why his family is concerned. It doesn't mean someone is spreading rumors.
