What Does KMS Mean in Text and on Social Media?

On social media and in text messages, KMS is mostly used as Hyperbole, which is to express heavy feelings, such as “It is very embarrassing, I want KMS.” While many use it jokingly, its literal meaning – “Kill yourself” – is serious and sensitive. It may indicate problems with mental health, so it is important to understand. Users should be careful about using it or answering, and ensuring that they do not express suicidal thoughts or ignore someone who needs support.
