Discussion Does anybody here feel sad for other people?

[Zyntkalla]

When I look at my parents or brother. I think about how sad I will make them when I decide to CTB. And I feel this towards even stangers and animals, and pretty well everything, and also things that I won't be able to do when I am gone, and I will miss as well.

 

[Symbiote]

I just remember that they have a better support system than I had and that many people in their circle will come help them in their grieving process. Afterwards, they'll move on after a few months and life will go on

 

[willitpass]

i feel sad for my family and friends knowing that i will cause them a lot of pain. i've become sort of numb to it at this point though

 

[Pho3nix]

My family are toxic so I don't feel sad for them. They caused all my problems by putting me thru hell. When I'm gone they'll forget me in an instant. I just hope there isn't an afterlife where I can bump into them.

 

[StringPuppet]

I try to but it's really hard. I feel like most people don't really care about you until it's too late.

100%

 

[Good4Nothing]

Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't.
Currently I don't. I'm too goddamn angry to give a fuck about other people right now.

 

[Deleted member 17949]

Used to but when you think about it so much every day the empathy really wears thin

 

[Hopeindeath!]

I feel sad for people on S.S. all the time, because they are hurting. I also feel sad knowing that it will hurt my family when I die.

 

[ronigail9]

Too much sad, yes I feel. For my husband...He has tried everything to get me to stay. He is worried and suffering. It makes it SO ridiculously harder to leave him and yet the longer I wait the guiltier I become for putting him through this

 

[NightmareTour]

I do feel bad, but I remember how my family treated me in the past so there clearly isn't much of an attachment there on their part, and I also know that after having to look after me in my worst state for so long, there's going to be some level of relief.

 

[NeverGoodEnuff]

Family? Only one who would care and it is a major reason why I am still alive.

I am very sad that so many on here are so young. It is a time when they should be excited with what life can be, looking to a bright future, not in the pits because of what it has been and is now. Its's just so very wrong and unfair. I want to help them but alas, there is nothing I can do.

I feel deep sorrow at how much suffering, evil, pain, and injustice people have to endure on a daily basis all over the world. I feel like humans purposefully enjoy making life harder for each other, and I don't know why

I don't think people want to carry out so much violence, so much as they live under a global paradigm that encourages profit and endless expansion over human experience. I feel like people are good until they're encouraged or forced to compete. i wish humanity had its sights set on creating a world centered around cooperation, instead

I wish I could agree 100%, but after enduring years of abuse from my parents as a child, I do feel like some people are just twisted by nature

 

[k75]

Yes, very much so. I'm sad for everyone on here. I'm sad for people who know me. It's the main reason I'm still around, still procrastinating. I never anticipated still being here now.

I'm afraid my family is going to struggle without me. In little ways, that don't seem important or all that noticable until I really started scrutinizing it. We're all adults, but my youngest sibling adores me. I never realized how much until recently. The other day, I said something offhand about not deserving something that someone did for me, and she told me I deserve the world. It broke my heart. She's told me she's glad we can talk because I'm the only person she can safely tell all her morbid jokes to or things like that. And she can't technology to save her life. I bail her out about 50 times a day. Who's going to remind her to cancel her prime trial before she's charged or to get a refund on the thing she forgot she ordered but never got?

Pretty much everyone comes to me for stupid technology help. Pretty much everyone comes to me just to vent. When they have problems with each other, I'm who they turn to. I'm not the glue of the family, but sometimes it feels like I'm the control center. Except it's more subtle than that, and all this makes me sound conceited.

My dad is battling cancer, and I paused my plans until he's better. Or not. I don't know what's going to happen, but I felt like his chances of surviving were better if he wasn't hit with my death. I don't want to kill my dad, so I decided to wait a little longer.

My mom kind of considers me her best friend. She thinks I'm the good child. Parents aren't supposed to have favorites, but I kind of am. Ha! Things she doesn't know...

My son is grown, but he's still learning how to life. I have to walk him through little things like how to get a bank account or deal with the insurance company. He bought a gun, and that terrifies me on many levels. He says it's for protection. I'm afraid there's more, and I can't do anything about it. I especially can't do anything once I'm gone. I can't keep him safe no matter what I do.

And I worry about my cat, and it's stupid that I have one again because that was absolutely not part of the plan and really complicates things. He seems to like me, and he definitely relies on me. He's purring on my shoulder as I type this.

Mostly I worry about my best friend. I can see what kind of hole I'll leave in his life. He has other people, but we share things noone else in his life does. I'll be taking that away from him. I'm in a position to hurt him worse than anyone else, and that makes me feel like the shittiest person in the world. Because he's always done everything for me and is the best person, and I'm going to do it anyway.

I see all of this and so much more, and I'm going to do it anyway. I'm going to destroy everyone, and I know it, and I'm going to do it anyway. I can't live for other people. But I don't know how I'm going to leave them.

 

[LostInSociety]

I'm not a family person so I don't feel sad for my parents, siblings, close family or friends. Life unfortunately does not stand still no matter what happens they will be sad and disappointed but eventually they have to move on with life.

I only get very sad when I think what would my wife do when I CTB. All the pain and suffering she will have to go true and yes life will move on for her as well I just don't want her to suffer that's all.

 

[TheGoodGuy]

I can´t feel emotions anymore (anhedonia) so no.

 

[depressivegothwhore]

I feel terrible just by thinking how my boyfriend will feel, he doesn't have anyone besides me... and also I feel bad for my cats that are very close to me and my grandma that it's sick...

 

[Apathy's Girl]

My dog will miss me the the most. I take home on his morning walks and put him to bed at night, he licks my legs until he falls asleep, like I'm som sort of comfort blanket for him. Then my husband will miss me. We no longer have a typical husband and wife relationship but we've been together for 32 years and married for 25 of those years. He has helped me through many of my bipolar ups and downs and previous attempts. He has been just about my only contact I've had with anyone in person since mid-March. My mom will be devastated. Before Coronavirus she drove me to work ever day and I would often see she on the weekends. Since Covid, I've seen her less than 10 times, all outside with masks on when I'm walking our dog. She is so alone already, losing what little she has of me will deviate her. My sister will be indifferent about the whole thing.

 

[Samsara]

I feel sad for many other people. The people here, who are suffering, and the people who love me if I decide to ctb. But in the end, after so many years of unremitting suffering, it seems more like an act of mercy

 

[Buffy5120]

Nope only people on here

 

[TooConscious]

I was very empathetic but when I realized what life really was it destroyed me as until 16 I'd been brought up quite carelessly, weakly, emotionally manipulative. Believing that life was a paradise-like gift and you just had to work hard to 'succeed' and when I questioned things like bullying and pettiness was told they only existed in school amongst kids.

 

[BLUE1970]

I feel sad for anyone in a situation where death is deemed preferable over life, whether the situation was of their making, brought upon by the others or a result of illness / injury. It is a no win situation, there are never winners in death.

 

[Lost Magic]

I do feel a great deal for people who have tried their best in life but society keeps pushing them aside. Unfortunately, greed and selfishness dominates our lives. Yes, I still have empathy and care but not enough for me to continue this rat race for much longer.
