So where acting antisocial to sound edgy or holding humans for acting like humans against them is one thing, to be truly pushed to that point takes a lot more. Possibly a bit of mental instability there too.

I think that's a very valid point. Without some sort of proper emotional connection it's probably easy to see everyone else as unreal, sprites in a video game, representative of this or that, other than being real, living, breathing people who have other people who love and/or depend on them, and that it's not ok to take their lives just to make your ****ty self feel better before you end it all.
