Fear is of the prolife, suicidal is fearless

[Placo]

What do you think of this sentence? I like it a lot and it's partly true, winning the SI is probably the most difficult thing in life.

Being suicidal doesn't make you fearless...

i wouldn't say being fearful of death makes you pro-life or puts you even remotely close to that category. if being scared of death makes you pro-life i guess sign me up i wasn't aware.

But being suicidal can be scary, planning and carrying out your ctb can be terrifying. Even if someone is calm in those final moments, I'd bet a lot on them feeling fear at some point in the process. Fear is natural, you can't eliminate survival instinct. We are made to fear death because of evolution. Even if you overcome it mentally, unconscious SI still comes into play (e.g grabbing the rope in hanging , nausea and vomiting in OD/ poisoning). Being fearless can make you impulsive. Fear is what makes people use meticulous methods . I don't think fear makes you pro-life. It's just part of life. Although you could argue we're all wired to be pro-life to some extent because of SI . At least unconsciously our bodies will do everything they can to avoid death.

I'm still afraid of pain/being maimed but my fear of death has more or less evaporated, yeah. I've been having a much easier time driving because I'm so heavily disassociated lol
