Discussion I hate to be known as that guy who killed himself

[MysticPerception]

I've already ghosted on multiple communities and groups of friends and workplaces so I don't think it matters. Everyone will forget you sooner rather than later if they didn't personally know you. If they did personally know you then at least they can remember the positives about you rather than just the part where you ended it all.

If if gives you any comfort, those people will die as well. No one will remember you or them at all.
There's a reason I deleted all my accounts except Reddit and here.
I prefer to be forgotten. There's no point in being remembered.

I'm really gone past caring about what people think... Death happens everyday I just wish it would happen me sooner rather than later
Sending you peace and hugs

Meh, I don't really care. Fact of the matter is I'll be dead.

Furthermore in the grand scheme of things our lives are insignificant. Theoretically human life will continue for hundreds/thousands of years. Our lives on this planet is so small compared to how long the earth and human life will continue that it really doesn't matter. In a hundred years no one will remember you, no one will remember that you committed suicide, no one will care. Everyone is forgotten eventually.

Fact of the matter is unless you're one of those people who change history and are remembered, your failures and achievements become irrelevant. In the eyes of people in the future our suicides will be no less or more noteworthy than the person who had a wonderful life full of prosperity and success. Very quickly you and the successful valedictorian (or insert whatever) will be forgotten.

The only people who I care about who will be impacted by my suicide is my family. I don't care what the opinion is of anyone else.

Humanity isn't supposed to last long. It was never meant to last long.
So everyone on this planet will end up being forgotten. Like I've mentioned before, we're all just a tiny blip in the universe.

I kno what u guys mean but honestly when im
Gone im gone. At this point I could care less

I'm too busy being miserable while I am alive to worry about what happens after my death.

 

[Throwmyselfaway]

Since most of those people on fb don't speak to me I kinda don't care. My wife is gonna milk it. I've been slowly deleting people off of there anyways. I prefer this to any other social media.

I had a former co worker years ago that posted on his own personal page that such and such died because of a broken heart. 200 comments immediately. Turns out that was his note and he shots himself in the chest. He was the talk of fb and work for a few weeks after that one.

I avoid all social media for many reasons, this being one of them. Just don't want to be an open book and share my life with every single acquaintance. Those who want have the contact details, don't need fb/insta/sc for it.

But I am not scared of what people will think of me, or what they will say or use the situation as. I am worried what they might say about my family, who are all great people and got nothing to do with his. And more importantly how they will feel.

I do too, at least to some degree. However, rationally I know that once I am gone from this world, no more existence, no more suffering and pain, and regardless of what people think or say or whatnot, it's all irrelevant (as I would be dead). I feel like similar results would happen too, people who gave maybe half a shit would act like they cared a lot (even if/when they don't - all superficial and they just want to boost their own egos.), people who don't give a shit would come out of the woodwork to get some limelight albeit briefly, but of course, the most impacted would be my immediate family, they would be sad and sad for a long time. However, I cannot simply suffer just because people will be 'sad' at my death. Death would be my release from this hell that I am living in.

I suppose, I could have a post-mortem address (lecture/monologue/speech) in my CTB note to speak to them as if I was alive. In other words, telling them preemptively and in advance. (e.g. Other people: "I could have helped him!" <-- Me: "No, there is nothing you could do or say to change my decision. I made this decision by myself and for myself. I am fully aware of the consequences and have prepared for it.")

That could actually be useful.

I don't like the idea of my family being known as the family whose firstborn was slightly disabled and committed suicide. Must be somewhat embarrassing.
