Do you actually think it’s selfish to CTB?

Of course not, we live in a shit hole that is completely hostile to our spiritual health.

The best and most truthful comment on this thread.

It's not selfish. People have the right to seek and obtain peace.

If you had a child, perhaps selfish. But honestly, other than a few family members, I think how much it will be a way out from how I feel. I don't think people realize the pain, but that's fine. I don't have friends to miss me, so I recommend backing away from everyone so you minimize the damage. Other than maybe 4 immediate family, nobody even messages me, so it's been good to see as I've deleted or blocked people that my resolve is stronger as ever.

I should have done this far earlier, but at least I'll be doing it before I am in more pain. And it will be healing for me, at last.

I think the people that call those that want to ctb selfish are the selfish ones because they'd rather make the person feel guilty for being tired of living (for whatever reason mental health, the negativity in the world, loneliness etc.) all because they don't want to temporarily grieve them. Then to add insult to injury they give cliche statements like "you have people who love you," "things aren't that bad" (because they don't see it) "others have it worse" rather then try to understand why the person would rather ctb then continue living.

Too tired to write a whole paragraph but basic thinking… when you do it, in most cases the people that you hurt were the ones who tried to convince you to get over it and you're okay. After they may understand what you were actually going through, but they're much stronger than you and will themselves get over it eventually. If you're that worried someone won't or if you CTB knowing you have a friend or relative who you think also could CTB. Just write as openly to them in a note to help them and if they were to actually CTB themselves then that's their choice

Very basic and yes plenty of holes but again I'm far too tired
