  1. i was just thinking and no matter how shit my life is i cant imagine killing myself because then i would seize to exist and wouldn't be able to feel sad at all let alone happy i wouldn't even not feel that sounds so fucking indifferent, fuck that! like is there an actual gene or evolution trait that makes it so people can or cant kill themselves?:confused::eek::confused::eek::confused:
     
  2. Im too selfish too
     
  3. permanent solution to a temporary problem.

    some folk just can't cope yo.
     
  4. Well, something like 90% of suicides are people with some kind of mental illness. So most people who do it aren't thinking clearly; in fact, they're pretty much incapable of thinking clearly because something isn't working in their brain.

    Also, before you say that you wouldn't kill yourself no matter what was wrong with your life, consider how bad things could actually be in a person's life.

  5. There is something wrong with a person who has never contemplated suicinde IMO. Life sucks dick. The only people who don't realize this are stupid as fuck. Not that I'm thinking about it, but it makes sense to me why a person would.
     
  6. a noose works well

    I have cluster headaches/migraines. Without weed id be fucked
     
  8. dude cluster headaches sound terrible. but still i don't think i'd kill myself though i would probably be more self destructive not like cutting myself but what i do, i'm basically saying i still wouldn't kill myself but i'd do whatever i wanted until i got killed though. i'm really not trying to sound ignorant that may be what this seems like i just truly cant fathom it
     
  9. Well, some people just want to end their lives. We're all gonna die sooner or later, why not sooner than later? I'd almost rather die before sixty than be completely dependant at 80+.

    Why live? The beauty of life? Feeling happy? Those are just positive ends of a whole spectrum. Without ugly there is no beauty, without suffering there is no happiness. While you're experiencing the good in life someone out there is experiencing the bad. Ending your life is just a neutral solution. Why waste your time working and toiling for shit that doesn't matter anyways.

    Yes there's the matter of friends and family. Some would say it's selfish to commit suicide due to the fact that you'd be causing them great trauma. But it's also selfish of them to guilt you into living a life you don't want to live.
     
  10. Everybody has the right to take their own life, simple as that. How they actually manage to go through with it? Man, I don't want to know because it must be fucking awful to go through so much shit to get to the point of legitimately wanting to kill yourself. Plus, it takes major balls to pull it off; I highly doubt that killing oneself could come easy to anybody.

    What's even crazier than all that is all the samurai in the past who had to commit harakiri, or seppuku. Check that shit out.

  11. how do you know?
     
  12. Because the idea of a complete cessation of existence is more appealing to some than a lifetime of either emotional or physical torment
     
  13. when pain outweighs pleasure, is it still life? death means nothing to me, just simply the end of the bullshit. if I die, its not like I'm gonna give a shit about anything anyway so why bother worrying or being a bitch about it?

    I've tried to off myself a couple times, I was just done and didnt think/feel anything while I did it. gives me the balls to throw myself in front of a bullet to save a stranger, cuz I just dont care.

    This. I totally agree, people who act like life (especially their own) is full of love and joy twenty-four fucking seven are so ignorant..
     
  15. Life is pain and struggle, for nothing, and then you die.
     
  16. If you've never been deeply depressed and in the shitter, you wouldn't understand. It just isn't something that can be easily put into words. I was at the lowest point in my life a few years ago and I was ready to die. The thoughts of a man when he's ready to hand over his life are something serious. I'm typing this story right now so I obviously didn't go through with it. Once you're at the bottom and you've fallen from grace and you're on the ground, that's when you really know who you are.
     
  17. sometimes people can't handle this day to day shit. think about it, day in day out, just working your life away, rambling on about the game last weekend while other people are just looking for a place to sleep, or running from raw emotions with drugs to find some kind of comfortable peace...when you get that low, your not happy or sad, your just an empty shell. a broken person. when you feel that way, taking your own life seems like the only way to feel that comfortable peace because everything else has lost its touch.

    sometimes i struggle to keep it all together. i have too many ideas of what the world should be like in my mind so it makes me cynical. id rather not go into detail about how i hit rock bottom but holy shit reaching out for help is truly an amazing thing once you let go of your pride.
     
  18. Go to school. Then go to work. Then do nothing when you are old and useless.

    Awesome how this world works.
     
  19. it's a strange concept
    one that is hard to imagine

    how someone can suppress the very basic need for self preservation

    idk if it's something in the brain or society or combination
    i just know that it happens
     
  20. i've tried to kill myself before
    but i don't think an attempt or an ideation is the same as following through
    and since those who actually commit to the act of suicide...they're dead. we can't ask them. ]=
