I had this friend who knew from the start that I was having suicidal thoughts, and now that I think about it he didn’t do anything, didn’t tell a teacher or parent. We were dating and then he found out that I was having suicidal thoughts and he broke up with me, he said when I got better we would go out again, so I lied and said I got better, nothing happend. I was talking to him today and told him that I told my parents I wanted to kill myself and he basically called me selfish and said there are people out there suffering me and wanting to kill myself is selfish. Is it?

NO it’s not selfish and it’s not wise other you should find solutions to your problems other than suiced trust me with time everything will be ok and you will laugh at yourself when you remember that you some day thought of suicide
Wow, what a jerk. No, it is not selfish. I’m sorry he didn’t give you the support you need. He’s not worth your time.
People have many different reasons for feeling suicidal. They are all deeply rooted within that individual. I’m sorry you feel this way. You are not selfish in the least; you are going through something(s) and there are loving people (unlike that guy) who are here to help.
No it isn’t.
If you want reasons i can give you tons of them.
But what you should be focusing on is taking a shovel and breaking his fucking neck.
please give me reason
First off to understand what suicide means since your friend doesn’t obviously.
It is when you do things but you are not concerned of others.
For example.Is working on yourself selfish?No of course not.
Is eating a bunch of food but not sharing with someone who politely asked or really needs it?Yes
Suicide is it’s own thing for the person who does it.There is nothing selfish about it.Other families,friends.. may suffer from the loss but the fact that they suffered is their thing.Suicide is about you i know you do not live alone in a vacum there are others in your life but you have your OWN life and making decisions about is not selfish at all.
Now the other thing i would like to mention is the fact that he called you selfish for wanting to commit suicide but said other suffer too he is implying you are selfish for trying or thinking of committing suicide and others not?That’s called hypocrisy and he is being selfish of you your,emotions,your situation and without 0 understanding as you said he left you as soon as he figured out that you have suicide thoughts so that also makes him selfish on making you feel like shit for being depressed then calling you selfish for being depressed.
So Trust me there is nothing selfish in taking your own life.If someone suffers a lot they are not required to live till their last day until they die by natural causes.So he basically called a choice of suicide selfish which he is implying your choice of your self ending to free yourself from pain is somehow selfish which is retarded itself.
This “friend” of yours seems to be like a giant fucking asshole. That was the first thing to cross my mind after having read a part of your story. I’m sorry to speak like that about somebody you care(d?) about, but it’s just the truth. He didn’t care enough about you, because who would leave behind somebody they care for? The fact that there are people suffering might be true, but you are suffering too. It counts. You count.
Thank you
It’s not selfish. Everyone suffers; some people more than others. Everyone’s mind is effected at a different severity from suffering, specifically depression.
Depression shouldn’t be compared to the kind of suffering in 3rd world countries and what not. Depression shouldn’t be compared to anything, it’s a personal emotion. Everyone handles pain, loss, loneliness, bullying differently.
