Discussion Does it comfort you that a part of you will still be here after/if you CTB?

[Forever Sleep]

Not to be unrealistic about it. I think the turn around here is very rapid. Once someone is no longer posting regularly, I suspect they are forgotten about and buried (physically and metaphorically) quite quickly.

Still- does it bring you any comfort that you shared a snipet of your life here? Or- on other platforms? Maybe you are creative or blogged or used other social media too. I think in some ways, it does comfort me. That I shared some of my story, some of my struggles, some of my perspective on the world- all be it annonymously and to a handful of people.

I don't know, it still feels nice to have been seen by someone before I go. How do you feel? I guess maybe it's because we are supposed to be social animals. Not that I am! Lol! Maybe it is still important for us to interact and connect on some level. I'm so grateful for this place to do that.

Not that it ever rights the injustices we feel have been done to us but somehow, it does also help to express them- even annonymously. There are reasons everyone here sees death as a preferable option to living. It feels cathartic to express that somewhere without being silenced with dumb arse platitudes.

No, the only thing that comforts me is the fact that someday I will no longer exist and be completely forgotten about which of course will happen.

 

[DEATH IS FREEDOM]

I have done something for humanity when I have written about human suffering, suicide methods and euthanasia. The man of the future will probably be able to read about our suffering and how we were tormented because of the lack of human euthanasia. Patients were lying in agony on their deathbeds for years when they could have died quickly by lethal injection. This is nothing but stupidity and cruelty. I have done something for humanity when I have written about death. I have done the best I could under the circumstances, although humanity does not deserve that. Man is generally a mean and cruel creature who has tortured animals and humans throughout history. That I am expected to suffer for decades no matter how life turns out for me with any number of health problems, diseases and pointless suffering only to wait out a death from old age is nothing but torture. Pets are euthanized to avoid pointless suffering but humans should die VERY SLOWLY. Humans are treated worse than pets. It is strange that not more people understand this cruel injustice. People are so afraid of death. Sanctioned Suicide may be deleted in the future, of course, but even the Internet can disappear and be replaced by something else. That development has been going on throughout history. Time changes everything. Everything will die. It will be a liberation to die and leave this cruel world - but I am glad that I have done something for humanity. However, I am just a pointless human being and I become even more insignificant because of the overpopulation - not many people will read this text.

I have found this place and its resources helpful. I'm glad that I have gotten to be a part of this community. I have left a mark here, albeit a small and insignificant one, which is something that I have wanted to do for a long time. I never expected to find a forum like this, and the thoughts of everyone here has helped me evaluate my circumstances and gain a greater understanding of my own cognition. This place has brought me an odd sense of comfort and reassurance, and I will never forget this forum.

 

[MeltingBrain]

I feel the opposite , It would be great if I could chant a mantra before CTB and people suddenly forgot about my existence . Obviously this would include removing all my traces both online and offline .
This way I will feel less like a loser .

 

[psp3000]

yes and no

yes because I do not have friends or people I interact with or relate to in my real life and I don't fit anywhere except for maybe here (and I don't use social media)

although my original plan was to disappear and be forgotten although that has been achieved partially

and no because it makes me feel as though I am leaving a community I liked and related to behind and because I can no longer help others or see how the people I've interacted with are doing

 

[LaVieEnRose]

Like it or not, even if you go I don't think you'll be forgotten about here any time soon ;).

I hope I will have bequeathed something to the community.

A nihilistic view obscures the very real impact one person can leave on another...

 

[WAITING TO DIE]

It's nice to talk about things that I cant talk about outside of this forum . It's also nice to be here for someone else and sympathise with their situation.
I'm really grateful for this place too because it's the only forum I use.
You are right about the quick turnaround, it's sad yet only to be expected.

 

[Dangerdonkey333]

I don't really care what happens to thing(body) once I'm done using it. I suppose having it used for science would be alright though. As far as pictures/videos go? I guess it's nice to know any descendants (should there ever be any) can see who I was if they so wanted.

I don't care what happens to my body once I'm done with it, either. There's loads of evidence our consciousness survives our physical death - that the body is really the only thing that dies. I'm looking forward to when that happens.

I mean, I mostly agree with you but there are some things I wouldn't like. Like the guy who's mother died and donated her body for research only for the military to strap c4 all over her and blow her to bits. Other than that, yeah I'm gone and I no longer need it.

 

[TheSpookyNameGuy]

Im donating all my organs if possible and then i want burned and thrown, discarded.

Ive nuked my limited online presence completely, i don't talk to anyone anymore either.

My goal is to be erased almost entirely from existence, not even as a thought.

Letting go is just perfect

 

[R_N]

No. In general I don't care what I leave on this planet or if people remember me and such.

 

[Scythe]

Yeah, I do, I actually hope my account isn't banned after I die, since I want people to be able to look up my posts easier. And I always believed being remembered is another way to live. I do like living in that way, and I wish I can live until I'm supposed to be 60 in memories. I guess for me, I haven't really made an impact here, won't be noticed if I disappear. But for the people that care about me, they can go find my posts and remember me. That I apperciate a lot.
