Is it selfish to ask for people to accompany you in your last moments?

[AsToldByNish]

I was going to make a thread to see if anyone wanted to chat with me in my last moments when I ctb, next week. But other threads showed up and I read through those and saw how it affected people and now I'm not so sure. I don't really want to be alone in my final moments, but I also don't want to traumatize anyone else. Is it selfish in general to want to talk to people as I'm ending my life? As weird as this may sound I have found people on this forum more comforting than I found people in my real life, if I can even get a real human to interact with me.
Forgot to mention this, but I delayed my date once I opted for SN over chemical suicide (the risk of someone else being affected is pretty high if they ignore signs).

A lot of people don't want to die alone but I wouldn't doubt that people would feel a lot of guilt if they stayed with someone in their final moments knowing that they could've prevented it. But I honestly really relate to everything you said. I'm planning on leaving in August so if you want someone to chat to, you can chat with me.

I think there's no harm in asking. You're not forcing it - if people don't want to, then they wont (:

I relate to not wanting to feel alone in your last moments. My plan is to create a thread when I'm on my last hour so I can interact with people and feel accompanied. Have you thought about that option?

It actually took a while for me to get approved for membership. But I'm confident in my decision. I have been for a while but only recently did I decide on the method and date.

Thank you.

That sounds like a good idea. I was also considering hoping into the chat to see if anyone wanted to talk with me.

You're welcome to talk to me if you want to. Just drop me a message. I think I would want that too before I go.

I would say it is quite the contrary. You would be asking for them to be present and share some of the most important moments of your life. While it would be very distressing for them if you are close to them, if they understood the inevitability of your actions they would most likely be honored by the request. I don't know if I could reach this conclusion if I were personally involved, but rationally, I believe this to be true.

Available to chat if you (or anyone else) want(s) to.

I don't think its selfish no, as long as person is fully OK with it , its a comfort,

You told me the same :(
We could join even today and still want to ctb immediately

Possible legal issues for the friend would be the only problem.

I don't think it's selfish to want that or to ask. it's not like you're demanding someone to be there, right?

I hope this doesn't come off wrong, but it definitely would be tough. I was there (on the phone) for one of my friends' attempts last year and it really hurt a lot to say goodbye and hearing their voice go down some. going to bed not knowing the outcome was very scary.

if whoever you ask says yes, please make sure that's like, an 1000% yes. I told my friend yes, but I wasn't ready for any of what happened that night.
