You feel sad for yourself. A person joking about themselves committing suicide is experiencing suicidality like 99% of the time. They might not be able to do it because of fear of death, but they almost certainly actually think about it and joking about it is a coping mechanism.

And therefore, such jokes are a warning sign that I’m not willing to ignore. I’m sorry if you don’t feel that way.
The question becomes, whose feelings should we be concerned with, the suicidal or the people who know the suicidal person?
Personally, I’d rather suicidal people or people experiencing suicidality to have their additional coping mechanism.
