Do you guys think people are alive because they haven't found a easy way to take themselves out or is it survival instinct? Because if there was a pill to instantly take you out with no pain a lot of people would use it in a heartbeat.

I think both. For me it's the first, mainly.

the two bleed into each other for me. an easy way out for me would be one that didn't trigger SI.

For me it's that I want to live but not when it means suffering like I do right now. So I guess it's the last hope that life can become better again. I do think if there was a very easy way out Id probably do it and I think many others would too, even ones that aren't even thinking about suicide atm

I think it is survival instinct. SI is always triggered when you know that you are going to die soon. The method doesn't matter. SI is still triggered even with peaceful methods. There are people who have methods that are the equivalent of pushing a button - ( N, Nitrogen, Gun ), and they still can't make themselves go through with it. If it was just a matter of having a quick and painless method, they would already have went through with it since they don't have anything to be afraid of.

SI just causes people to make excuses because a part of them doesn't want to die. If 95 percent of you wants to die and 5 percent of you still wants to live, your SI will stop you every time. If someone becomes desperate enough and wants to die 100 percent, they will use any method available to them at that point. A good example is hanging. Many people would be afraid to hang themself because it is a terrible way to die. But according to statistics, hanging is number one suicide method in the world, because it's accessible to everyone. If someone reaches the point where they very desperate to die to die, they will use a less peaceful method if it is the only method available.

It's the first one in my case, for me all the suicide methods are either inaccessible or risky, there's just no straightforward, very accessible, guaranteed and reliable way to free ourselves from the existence we were burdened with as after all we exist in this dreadful anti-suicide society where suicide is purposely made as difficult as possible for people.

What I would fear is ending up in a situation of way worse suffering after trying to free myself from this existence, I know that if there was a guaranteed peaceful suicide pill that was accessible I would have no problems in going through with suicide, I imagine that so many would decide to prevent all future suffering if suicide was that easy.

There are exponentially many more people that genuinely love life than there are not. As enlightened as we are, we are not the majority normies, but rather the minority exceptions.
