Does anyone here see any positives to suicide? For one thing the world is overpopulated and while suicide isn’t going to make a great dent in the population, it’s clear that suicidal people aren’t meant to survive in terms of Darwinian natural selection. Ridding people like me would help reduce the negativity in the world, which I see and think a lot about.
Personally I just can’t seem to connect with people anymore apart from my family, and ever since I graduated and started full-time work a few years ago I’ve been in a constant state of lethargy and tiredness. I get 7-8 hours of sleep, none of it deep, and my body is deteriorating. I’m only 24 but the thought that I’ll be stuck working for the rest of my life in this tired state, with my body continuing to fall apart is something that just makes me wish I could sleep and never wake up. The world needs less awkward, negative people like me.

You want my opinion?
There are no positives of suicide whatsoever. It’s selfish and it’s cruel.
I’m not being judgmental or preachy, just speaking from experience.
My mom killed herself when I was four, and every day I have to wake up knowing that she left me by choice. You know how much that hurts? Absolutely nothing good came from that.
Your problems don’t disappear when you kill yourself, they just get passed on to someone else.
A few positives for suicide in my POV is that I won’t have to experience bullshit and be subjected to invisible slavery. I also think that suicide eliminates the chance that I pass on my suicidal tendencies and mental problems to any potential kids. It also would effectively stop me from being a burden to my mom because I feel like a parasite. I agree that natural selection weeds out the “weak” and maybe I am weak but that’s okay because it doesn’t really matter in the end who is strong or weak because we all die.
@sunnygirl I can understand why you feel that way and you’re justified in feeling that way but for people W/O children it isn’t selfish or cruel but I think if you have kids suicide is no longer an option for you because your life is no longer just yours.
A few positives of suicide (I’m not condoning, or, encouraging you to kill yourself) would be that you get to choose when and where you die along with how. You can write, record, or make a photobook with your last words/thoughts/impressions you want to have people remember you, or, let’s face it… not remember you by.
Usually, if there is a choice between being shaped by the insanity of a person, or the absence of that person, you should choose absence. It’s better to be lonely and confused, than trapped and abused.
There is at least one positive of suicide: the person’s suffering ceases.
When the suffering of a person becomes so great that the cessation of that suffering is worth cessation and sacrifice of one’s own life (and this is personal and subjective)… then we should consider that tragic, but justified.
Sometimes, doing it wrong is worse than not doing it at all… even in the case of parenting.
What is positivity but a figment of one’s imagination?
In terms of Darwinian natural selection, no one is “meant to survive”.
There is no puppet master pulling the strings.
Survival is down to adaptation, dumb luck, etc.
suicide is a horrible thing. It all depends tho to be able to make something positive out of it. i can promise you tho that you can make a positive regardless. to make everything clear tho, this life works beyond our comprehension but please trust me its all for a more meaningful purpose. we all get what we deserve so you just haft to be pure and hopeful. be thankful, you haft to work hard to see past the darkness but it will be worth to those who deserve, who stayed pure threw the rain of darkness. i am young tho so im sorry if i make no sense. i still have allot of time to learn so what i said could be better.
