I hate when people say suicide is selfish

Anonymous 27w

Yeah cuz one could say it’s selfish to expect someone to live in suffering just so you don’t have to feel sad? But also if I’m suicidal I prob dont care if it’s selfish- the pain of living would probably be stronger than any shame

People who say that are also against medical suicide for others who are terminal.

Why? it is though.

So glad this app is anonymous so I can speak my mind. Suicide is the pussy way out. There’s so many resources for help and think about all your loved ones it would impact. Suicide is NOT the answer

It’s selfish and also the easy way out.

Suicide is absolutely horrible. when a person commits suicide, it is because they have legitimately lost all hope. There is no other reason that leads up to the decision of taking their own life other than that the situation that they are in is absolutely by no means otherwise, going to improve. It’s a horrible awful place to be.

everyone has to suffer. ending your life makes that suffering worse for other people. don’t commit because your life WILL get better eventually, every time. choosing to end it is selfish

It's sad that they think they don't have a way out. But I hate when they say they have nothing to live for when in reality many people would be broken and it's just passing the pain along.

It kind of is, no? You’re burdening everyone you knew with your death that could have been prevented had you let them help

Yes but from another view it can also be seen as only affecting everyone else in your life. You are doing something that is heavily affecting others negatively and you don’t have to deal with it cause you took the easy way out. People love you

What I said is the response to what you just said cuz if people love you why would they want you to live in suffering? No blanket statements are ever gonna effectively combat suicide because everyone’s situation is so different so this is just unhelpful

How?

I don’t think they want you to be suffering, they want you around. Ask them. They would rather you struggle to get better then have you give me. And it’s so much more complicated than that. But this is just my opinion though

But if someone commits suicide they are suffering so having me around is having me around suffering and like you said it’s way more complicated than that. Far too complicated to ever make a blanket judgement because of how complex and difficult and different every case is

Normally I don’t shit on other people’s opinions bc I feel like we should be allowed to have open discussion but this is lame as shit and disrespectful.

You keep stating “no blanket statements will ____” but you also keep making the blanket statement of “sometimes it’s that bad”. Soldiers come back after watching their closest friends get blown apart but find ways to get help and work to navigate it. It never goes away but it is something that can be navigated

so a blanket statement is “all” not “sometimes” 😭

By definition a blanket statement covers all facets of what the statement in intended to be used for. In your case, “sometimes is that bad” covers the “sometimes it not sometimes it is”
