Discussion Has anyone ever heard of someone killing themselves for no reason?

The way biology works says to me that there's always a reason.

I don't believe that everything has a reason but, when it comes to suicide, people definitely have a reason for it

Whether it's disclosed or not there is always some reason behind the act.

i don't think people could ever kill themselves for literally no reason. survival instinct doesn't just allow a normally healthy person to just wake up one day and jump off a bridge. it's hard enough for people who've been suicidal for years. i think the only way someone could kill themself for "no reason" is a severely mentally ill person. of course on the outside the reason is mentally illness, but on the inside their mental illness causes them to do something extremely rash/random, which ends up as suicide. and i don't mean mentally ill like depressed or something, like extreme schizophrenia or something of the sort. idk

I doubt it, the natural thing for a human is to want to survive and thrive. To CTB there must be something wrong, even if the person doesn't think so.

When suicide is considered then there is a reason that triggers it. I doubt that anyone is being born suicidal and destined to kill themselves from birth. However genetic defects may cause natural suicidality - that's an uncontrollable reason.

I think there's always a reason of some kind. Whether others think it was a good one or not is neither here nor there.

Everyone thinks they're doing the right thing, in the moment.

Everyone probably have a reason, but people around may just not know what it was. Or just not considering it as a serious enough reason.
