Yes, it's reasonable to ctb even if you're happy. I'm anhedonic so I'm bored no matter what. It sucks.

 

[WhatPowerIs]

I'd say so. Why stick around if there's nothing to stick around for?

 

[UKscotty]

I don't think anyone needs a reason.

Normal people won't understand anyway so it's wasted effort trying to convince anyone.

In most countries the right to due is universal, without needing a reason, that's enough.

 

[EmptyHeaded]

I don't know why it shouldn't be. If there's nothing but boredom, there's nothing to live for.

Agreed and to add to this, why should we stay to fulfill some obligation if we do see anything to continue to stick around for.

 

[Worndown]

Your reasons are your own. Only you need to be convinced it is a sound reason.
Others might not understand some reasons, but we are not you. Your life experiences validate your choice.

Literally. I don't owe the world or other people anything. I have no obligation to anything or anyone

That's quite a philosophical question. Suicide is very personal, so if you are convinced of wanting to die because of boredom, then i guess it is reasonable.

Some people would say that boredom is important, because it is the thing that forces you to have ideas to do something and alleviate your boredom, think of a child that is bored and starts making up games/playing with other kids/any other activity. In fact, there seems to be less and less boredom in peoples life, much to their detriment, everyone can just scroll and consume their boredom away.

What's the point of living if I feel bored and empty inside? I'm always bored to the point where I'm chronically online and on this website. Nothing about real life interests me. I hate life and the real world, it's so boring

For example, seeking something that will not make you feel bored and empty inside.

 

[Little_Suzy]

You can end your own life at any age and for any reason (including mental illness).

Like suicide, which should not be stigmatized, neither permission nor collaboration are prerequisites for a natural death.

Those animals that hibernate seem to be better designed than human. At least they don't waste energy pretending to be busy working.

Well that's why I'm terminally online lol

Valid, maybe you'll find something very cool

 

[Dr Iron Arc]

I think it's as good a reason as any though I'd be careful since the preparations and level of effort required to CTB would probably get one excited or at least engaged enough to paradoxically stop feeling bored thus removing your only reason to do it.

 

[Praestat_Mori]

Why is life boring? I think it's subjective and everyone would enjoy different things in their lives if possible. The question can we enjoy things or can't we just not enjoy them bc we do not have the means? It's a complex thing.

In my case my life is boring bc I do not have the means to do what I want to do but that doesn't mean that life in general is boring.

Edit: Sometimes we say "I'm bored to death". Boredom can be as terrible as loneliness - I would say. But is the really nothing we can do to be not bored?

 

[SoulWhisperer]

I can relate to such a feeling. I sometimes just think that nothing in life would be worth living and that summed with the pain and despair it all just seems even just too boring to be worth to stick around, felt...

Life is so much effort for little reward. There's no payoff in my opinion. I don't get anything out of all of my struggle

In my opinion, boredom is the result of problems, not the cause. If someone is healthy and has the financial means, they probably won't be bored. I am also often bored with the world, but this is mainly because I have closed myself off from the world to a large extent. However, I believe that the world lacks "magic". I really like fantasy worlds, so that's probably why I think so.

I've also closed myself off from the world to a large extent, but I don't see anything to like about it. I also believe that the world lacks magic. I prefer fantasy to reality.

nobody needs a reason for anything. you can ctb when you see fit.

I don't think so. I'm chronically bored, yet I'm healthy and have the means to do a lot of things that others can't.

 

[Z-A]

I feel like we don't need any valid reason. Just as we were put into this existence without a choice, we can exit the same way.

Yeah, imagine a world where we could've been able to augment how things are with our own thoughts or be able to create worlds of our own making, places we could just go off to whenever we want to unplug from here.

I don't know you, but it's probably because you're sick like most of us here. You have a distorted view of reality. Just like me and others. However, it can also be completely different. Maybe we are healthy and others are sick? Perhaps the disease removes the "rose-colored glasses" from our heads, thanks to which we see the world as it is? Of course, this is a philosophical interpretation. Not necessarily scientific.

Nowadays, I live more often in fictional worlds than in real ones. It's definitely more exciting for me now.

I don't think so. I'm chronically bored, yet I'm healthy and have the means to do a lot of things that others can't.

Sometimes there may be exceptions. When I say sick, I also mean mental health. Of course, I don't know you, so I don't know your situation.

 

[Unknown21]

Because you were forced to live this life, this gives you the right to end it whenever you want without any reasons.

 

[ijustwishtodie]

It's reasonable. It's also one of my reasons too. I'm bored as nothing interests me and, because nothing interests me, I'm suffering more than what it's worth (though I'd still be suffering more than what it's worth even if I wasn't born).

Though I could have sworn I replied to this thread before. How peculiar... perhaps I'm being bored even now

 

[Morte]

I think any reason is reasonable for CTB. We owe absolutely nothing to life and we don't even need it.
