Right off so you know partially why i'm writing this: |
Beautiful Chaos

Obviously since we are still here and breathing, emotional pain is something that can be worked through. Suicide is an answer to questions we are afraid to face. One of the hardest things someone can do is look in the mirror and reconcile what they don't like, but it is always possible if you really want it. When I tried to kill myself it was because I was living in denial and I was being selfish. Life is never going to be easy, but death is not dealing with your problems, it is running away and that can be seen as weakness. |

Suicide is very selfish of anyone... |

I can see how some people think suicide is selfish (especially if you never tried or wanted to kill yourself) but like lost in thought did, you got to look at it from the other persons view. they are obviously suffering real bad if they think dying is the only way out. they are just trying to make the pain stop. and killing themself does that. |

Suicide not only kills you - it kills who you're going to be; that future self which despite everything had a real chance of being happy again, a chance to bring that happiness to even more people than what you already bring to the world. |

To answer your first question... People try to convince others that suicide is not the answer by showing them how they'd feel... They think that this shows that person how much they're loved and cared for, when in fact they should be showing it... not saying it. So, their purpose is to show you what you will be leaving and how much others love and care for you, when they're not showing, they're telling. Another reason why they may be doing this is because they see it from their perspective, they do not feel the pain that you feel, because you don't express it by a way where they could see why you're feeling this way. People should be focusing on how to support you and help you move on, without trying to convince you out of suicide. That, I think is the major problem in situations like these... they focus on the problem, not the solution and they focus on the negative, not the positive. |

Quick add in, another question i had no time to add in the begining: first off, don't continue to yell because i have stated my point of view, but, if it is truely so selfish and cowardly (yes i said if now don't yell), then are not the people who follow and do the same thing, cursing the person the whole time, just as bad? |

I have a question. Who's, as you claim, "yelling"? That doesn't make sense, not to mention is impossible. If someone was using caps or using '!' I guess you could say they are "yelling" (however you couldn't be completely 100% about that), but as far as I can see everyone's simply just answering your questions or stating their opinions. If it were possible to be "yelling" over a computer the only one here "yelling" would be yourself. You publicly asked others for their opinions, if you don't like what they have to say then you shouldn't have asked. |

I am not yelling. i am not saying i don't want their opinions, i know i asked. i am simply saying it was a yes or no question and we could do without put downs or name calling. we're not toddlers. |
