is that NOBODY who commits suicide should be discriminated against/ talked down upon. Anyone else agree?
I personally don’t believe having suicidal thoughts makes you a bad person; I don’t even think going through with suicide makes someone a bad person either.

I TOTALLY agree: I don’t think that someone having suicidal thoughts make someone a bad person, worthy of slander, or even means that they always or even often have a bad or “toxic” personality. I wish people would treat people who struggle with these thoughts with dignity, respect, and utter love. At least most religious sects don’t state that you go to hell or something for killing yourself. Total and complete garbage and utterly false.
I definitely agree… People who commit suicide should NEVER be put down or mocked or thought of as weak or selfish.
Sometimes the last thing someone wants to do is kill themselves, but bad choices and/or circumstances beyond their control pushed them to it and they reached their breaking point.
Nobody should be forced to live in pain (Physical OR mental) and misery, even if they have a child or others who care about them.
I have seriously mixed thoughts on suicide for that reason, but I definitely agree in terms of how people diagnose suicides or what causes them to “break”
Why would a dead person care about what living people think?
Because a lot of people are not comfortable with the idea of how their death would affect others that they love/care about. However, this is not a good reason to keep living, IMO. And yes, once dead.. This would no longer be a concern.
It just just really sucks that suicide is a desirable choice for so many in the first place.
Disagree (tho Morris has a point, it’s more about us than them after they’re dead).
Suiciding to escape consequences, especially after doing cruel things that others have to live with, is bs. If suicide is an option for them, they should have done it *before* fvcking with others, not after.
Your post is broad, there’s different motivations (why some suicides are in fact selfish).
True.. And I agree with that.
My comment above was strictly about people who have not intentionally hurt others.
I hate this judgemental world. Even when you die people don’t let you off, continue to badmouth you! (Those who commit suicide after committing some violent crimes should be condemned tho)
perhaps i am a selfish, weak, thoughtless individual because i almost succeeded in devastating my son, and mother by choosing to kill myself, rather than ” sucking it up”?
Only you can answer that.
After 40 years of “sucking it up “ I just can’t anymore.
I love my daughter and don’t want to hurt her.. But I can’t live like this anymore.
When I’m dead, anyone can say whatever they want about me. I won’t care. I’ll be dead.
