i dont wanna leave a goodbye note

[i wanna be a cat]

I don't have anything to say to anyone. I was never really close enough to talk about my past or problems with any of my friends. I don't think any of them would be very affected if i ever ctb except for my childhood friend.
But...again i have nothing to say to her.

Will it be mean/selfish if i just leave without any explanation to anyone? The only letter i wanna leave is one where i explain to my parents what to do with my stuff and ask them to give my cat to my childhood friend.

I don't want her (my childhood friend) to feel like its her fault or anything but i don't wanna explain myself to anyone and honestly i don't think anyone takes it to heart when their suicidal friends say "its not your fault".

It's up to you whether to leave a note or not, it's completely a personal decision and there's nothing wrong with not leaving one. Other people aren't owed an explanation and suicide never needs to be justified in the first place anyway as we all have our right to die.

 

[stoiccactus]

Yeah I am not going to leave one

 

[Yaffle]

Then don't.

It's entirely up to you whether you leave letters or not, don't feel compelled.

Even if you leave a letter it doesn't have to carry an explanation.

No it wouldn't be mean or selfish. To be honest, if anyone I knew ctb now and never left a note I'd take it that they were content they'd said everything they needed to already. The thought that there is a note which might have reasoning in it that I felt I could have challenged to make things better is worse for me than someone not saying anything.

And then, sometimes, people will never understand, note or no note. There is no constant with suicide notes that shows there are always a benefit or not.

No its not mean or selfish. I will also just disappear and not leave a note one day.

At least say you love them, it's not because of them and that you will never truly leave them. Some basic ideas. Can be 4 paragraphs long but, leave them something at least.

I feel it would be of some minor comfort to your parents to leave a note. I wouldn't worry about anyone else. I don't know if you have an ok relationship with them. But they will forever feel it's their fault. I don't think anyone should leave that on someone else ( unless they truly are horrible disgusting pieces of crap who contributed towards someone being suicidal.)
