Discussion If someone was trying to kill you, would you let them?

[lessthanperfect]

Basically what the question asks. If someone attempted to murder you when you're perfectly capable of stopping it, would you?

What about if their method is painful and not what you'd try yourself?

What if you had no other accessible options, but it was still a painful and lengthy method? (ie. poison, etc.)

 

[boblong]

If they use guns , I would gladly let them . Other methods wont do for me.

 

[WorthlessTrash]

If it was quick and straight to the point, yes. Though, I would prefer they do it without my knowledge so SI does not kick in.

 

[Misery99]

If they used any painless method I would gladly volunteer. My ideal method would be N. Wish I had it.

 

[killmeiwannadie]

if its drawn out and painful no i wouldn't let them. if it was quick or a method that is painless or so out of the blue i don't even know it's happening until its to late then yes. then people who care about me won't be haunted by the suicide aspect.

 

[redbathingduck]

Yeah it would be nice that other people wouldn't feel guilty by my suicide instead. It does depend on the method used by the murderer though, don't wanna be in extreme pain for too long. Gunshots would be best

 

[Mr. Squiggles]

i'd resist, pretty sure about that, but i would root for them.
somehow it always drew me to the worst possible way. which in my opinion would be self-immolation.
after i got put in artificial coma for two weeks, the feeling lingered for long, that it could also have been two years. and in one drug induced psychosis i believed i never woke up. and every letter is just a person that was gone.

i don't want to die in my sleep. i want to be sure i'm dead and don't come back. i want to make it right this time

 

[lessthanperfect]

What if it was painful and took a while? (like poison or toxic gas inhalation over time or switching out medications you're dependent on for placebos or harmful ones)

What if they didn't think you knew about it and their method relied on you being naive and not catching on (or at least pretending to)?

Would you stop them yourself, call the police on them, or let it happen? I think I'd probably let it happen or at least try to but I might chicken out because of SI.

 

[downndone2]

Hope they'd shoot me in the back of my head

 

[brood]

Someone trying to kill me, yes please! Painless or not my ultimate goal is achieved.

 

[Worndown]

If someone would use their preferred method, I am sure many would accept the offer.

 

[bloop714]

Yes, only no if it is death by torture...idc about method

 

[scamper]

This is a really interesting question, thank you for asking. I think I would try to stop someone from killing me if their method was painful because I have access to a relatively painless method, but I think if said method wasn't so accessible, I would probably let it happen. If the murderer's method was some form of torture, I would resist like many of the other members who replied.

There are variables, of course, but I for me personally it generally comes down to how painful the death is next to how easy a painless method is to access.

 

[Homo erectus]

If another person were allowed to be involved, many methods would be more reliable while still almost painless. There have been deaths by sexual strangulation and choking game. It seems not difficult, not even requiring very strong grip power, with the mastery of some basic techniques. It's probably more reliable, with less hesitation than doing it by oneself.

 

[RoundaboutResolved]

Prob not, SI would be triggered

 

[IsolatedPotato17]

tbh at this point i don't care about how painful , long or violent it is. if someone wants to kill me there would be nothing that would make me more happier.

 

[charlotte_]

if it's painless, then i wouldnt mind. i hope they do it without my aware though, since my SI is pretty high. perhaps like a sudden gunshot to the head that kills me instantly

 

[Forever Sleep]

Depends on the circumstances. I think I'd be really angry if someone tried to murder me- so- if I wasn't parallized by fear- I hope I'd give them hell. I f%!king hate bullies and I imagine that's all that killers are.

If I was say critically ill though and begging for death and some compassionate person gave me a way out- they would be my hero.

It would depend on whether they were helping me or satisfying some sadistic need for power. If it's the latter- who's to say they'll stop with me?

 

[Sluggish_Slump]

The adrenaline will probably get to my head and I'd fight back

 

[leavingsoon99]

I'm torn on this. I don't like the idea of someone taking my life. I love the idea of closing my own book. I'd probably fight back. This is just MY OWN personal belief, but there's something powerful about ending oneself.

 

[SatouR]

I would let them no matter the method.
Have been living recklessly for a long time and I dont care anymore.
