This is just a question that I don’t think I could answer myself, but I never understood why people would look for a suicide partner? Is it because they are scared to do it by themselves? Is it so they could be less lonely? I don’t know having a partner with me would make me feel like I was responsible for someones death. I hope I don’t sound judgy because I am honestly not trying to be. I am just genuinely curious.

I don’t know for sure, but I think the last few minutes are a bit scary if you are on your own, not knowing if you are really going to succeed, and if you do if there is something/another dimension after death? Or also not knowing if it will be painful?
i know i just wouldnt want to go alone. plus peer pressure to do it.
Personally I would want one to make sure I don’t get caught but c’mon. You think they are going to watch someone die? No.
yeah i always thought it was weird too. Suicide is kinda like taking a dump: i don’t need help, and i don’t want anyone in the room with me when i do it, and especially not someone i just met! It’s a private and sacred thing. I would never want to ruin my last moments of existence by the feelings of anxiety and awkwardness that come with strangers watching you do private things.
I would absolutely want to be alone.
I think most people who ask for suicide buddies are mostly just scared and feeling that old “want my mommie!” feeling. You’re supposed to dismantle that particular response to adversity, as a part of the maturation process which leads to adulthood. Grown ups don’t need suicide buddies; we need LIFE buddies: trustworthy people who will have your back in times where you can’t watch your own well enough. Unfortunately, i haven’t found many of those either.
comfort and a sense of camaraderie
For me, personally, when I go to wherever I end up after death, I want to have somebody at my side, since for me, death is a new beginning. It’d be good to start off my ‘new beginning’ finally not being alone, y’know?
I wish I had one.
yeah, it’s mainly because they’re too scared to do it theirself, I’m guessing. Personal experience.
Partners? I wanted one so that I would not be alone when I died plus someone to perform the technical stuff for besides myself so that I would be less likely to back out and plus not waist my technical skills by not sharing. As it turned out, I was not as practical and pragmatic as I needed to be and my partner was not as determined as I was. It was a bust for us both. If there is a next time I am going it alone. Partners introduce a ton of variables.
we come into the world alone,,, Ill leave it alone…
Hands down.
