I'm going to ctb today with a shotgun I'm going to pickup. Any tips would be helpful.

Just wanted tips on using shotgun. I know put it in your mouth and aim up slightly. Maybe you guys have other advice on how to have the confidence to do it. Last time I tried was in late 2020 but I had just run away from my home and I wasn't 100% confident I wanted to. I sat in a hotel for a few days with a shotgun before I sold it.
Now having more time to think I want to ctb, life is not for me, I have nothing I want and I don't like humanity. Again any advice is appreciated, thank you.

Sorry, no shotgun advice, just felt if you're ctb today you should know that someone understands and sympathisies. If you decide to go ahead I wish you an easy journey, end of pain and sweet dreams, weary traveller.

I advise you to lean the shotgun against your forehead, but not put it in your mouth. Unfortunately, there were cases when people shot off their faces and did not damage the brain, it was terrible and not fatal. If you are still going to put it in your mouth, then I advise you to use your phone camera to get a good shotgun angle

What helped me:

• write out steps, ask for critiques
• fire it at a range, if you haven't. Get some safety tips (to not accidentally blow off your face), and get a feel for its power. Even with good form (bracing it very tight against part of your shoulder so it doesn't punch you), people usually don't fire for more than 15-20 mins. First time, I shot it for hours, and only realized that's abnormal when I asked an attendant for tips on making my shoulder hurt less. Didn't help I tried out some insanely powerful shells I picked up, along with more usual rounds
• sleep with it like a teddy bear. Make sure to always double-check it's empty, even rather obsessively
• put fun stickers on it, if you find it disturbing

I wish you well, whatever you decide. Sorry that humanity is shit

Target your forehead or temple not the mouth.
