Do you think that your suicide would be tragic?

[sserafim]

Do you think that your suicide would be tragic? Sometimes I fantasize about it and dying young. I think that this would be seen as tragic, someone who never lived out their full life. I also fantasize about my funeral as well

 

[Dr. Henjin]

Not even a little bit. I have nothing left. I used to have a life, now I don't. But hey that's exactly why I want to CTB. I got maybe 3 people who would actually be devastated and maybe 5 or 6 more who might be sad for a few days at most.

 

[Hollowman]

No

 

[sserafim]

No

Why not?

 

[Ashe]

I don't believe that my death would be tragic in the slightest, sad maybe but honestly people would just move on. I'm not that significant enough for people to be devastated by my loss.

 

[carac]

As I'm quite old I don't think so, if I had succeeded a few close people to me might have been shaken but I think they would have got over it pretty quick. Can't imagine many people would have come to my funeral either. I wasnt really throwing much away so it wouldnt have had much impact I don't think

 

[FuneralCry]

No, there's nothing sad about being unable to suffer for all eternity, suicide is something relieving, the only relief for me lies in being free from this dreadful and harmful existence. The tragedy is the horrific mistake that is existence instead.

Yeah me neither, I guess I meant more of the fact of dying young as tragic

 

[howcanigo]

i mean in the technical sense sure. i think it's unfortunate whenever any people die before their time when it's not me. but that it's also just a part of life. as much as i self loathe, i don't think many people would be happy im gone but me. but me wanting to leave is the most important part, and i look at it the same with other people. i don't think the vast majority of people deserve any of the things or feelings that would drive one to suicide. and the terrible people that do, who's losses wouldn't be tragic, probably wouldn't want to kill themselves because they preserve themselves and their egos and move on. if that makes sense.

Yeah sometimes i think because i'm "young" my death might be more known but in the end i won't be here to see so it really doesn't matter ygm

 

[Ashe]

Fair enough then I guess im still considered "young" by some peoples definition but FuneralCry explained it much better than I could of. To me tragedy is something thats really only reserved for the loss of things or people that have lots of potential ahead which is something that I am not, I no longer have my potential for anything. I'm simply just a drifter without purpose.

This thread reminded me of the song If I Die Young by The Band Perry, and the romanticization of premature death.

Suicide is often perceived as tragic, and indeed is often tragic more for the survivors. But I'm sure many suicidal people feel a sense of tragedy in their death too before they commit.

However, I don't find the prospect of my own voluntary death romantic or tragic in the slightest. For others it may be tragic, but that implies a value to life itself that I don't find self-evident. And the reality of it is certainly less romantic than the idea of it.

 

[Jealous Blackheart]

I think my life will always be more tragic than my death no matter how or when I die.

I understand. For me the saddest thing is my wasted potential…I'm just a hikikomori/shut-in rn. Other people from my college go on to do great things, but I haven't done anything with my degree bc I refuse to participate in society. I guess I'm scared of putting myself out there and entering the working world. I'm scared of growing up and having to be independent and on my own.

 

[not-2-b-the-answer]

Only family.
None of my friends ever text me first. I don't know how long it would take them to find out.
Some former friends may never know. I don't really care.

 

[SolomonKado]

You never know how people really feel about you until you're gone or bad things happen. Some will use your CTB as a reason for getting attention. I always wondered what it would be like if my parents made it past my teenage years and if they would be here to help me through everything that brought me to this point..

Mine won't be super tragic. I see the place and people that caused a huge impact to bring me to this point will try and make a big show of how tragic this was and make it a big deal for going to my funeral to make them look good. The ones who were involved won't take real responsibility and more alcoholics and constant need for therapy will continue to happen because of them, who cares anyways since I was a nobody who was not friends with the right people anyways.

Funny thing is I already told my next of kin no funeral, cremate me, and take me to the mountains. I want people to keep doing as they've done in my life. Forget about me.

 

[CrazyDiamond04]

All suicides are tragic.

 

[FlowingVali]

I mean I feel like most suicides are tragic at least to the one who finds the body.

 

[somenone]

Many people, once close to me, know that I am going to the bottom, know that I will die by my own hands in the near future, but they don't care, they don't care about nothingness. Even here, I received more support (in the form of emoticons) than people who are surrounding me, they rather push me to death.

 

[sserafim]

All suicides are tragic.

It's especially tragic if you die young though because you "had your whole life ahead of you"

 

[hermestrimegistus]

Not at all. Maybe a little pathetic and pitiful but definitely not tragic. Almost expected at this point I'd imagine

 

[passivethought121]

No, maybe pathetic even. I feel like most people would just talk about how my life wasn't that hard, or how they went through xyz and more and they didn't CTB, or whatever.

 

[MeltingBrain]

Yes . I think I have a lot to offer to this world , which would all be cut short after my CTB .

 

[LaVieEnRose]

Yes, I was forced here into a life to which suicide was always going to be preferable, forced to suffer for nothing till I was forced to rid myself of it.

 

[toofargone6969]

Yes, and I think every suicide is tragic. The circumstances that lead us each here are a tragedy and make me very sad and will make a lot of other people sad when we go.

 

[sserafim]

Yes, I was forced here into a life to which suicide was always going to be preferable, forced to suffer for nothing till I was forced to rid myself of it.

Same. I hate the fact that existence was forced onto us and we were unfortunate enough to have asperger's/autism. I guess we were born cursed…

 

[abcz]

When I truly think about this, perhaps it would be less of a thing than I originally thought. Like I feel old(although compared to many I'm not) so id prob be considered "young" by that aspect. And I'd think it would be worse for my family as I don't feel my friends here are as close as the ones I had last year such as my roommate. But I haven't been home for more than like 2 months at a time since January of 2021 so idk how my family would end up reacting. They'd prob move on faster than I'd expect tbh.

 

[Hollowman]

why not?

Why not?

Because I'm friendless and insignificant.

 

[not-2-b-the-answer]

The real tragedy to me is living. Even worse, bringing more lifeforms to this horrible world.

 

[JordanF]

That is why I havent kill myself yet. I am afraid that I will ruin my parents lives as I am an only child and they have devoted so much towards me. They have been very good to me but I don't want to live anymore
