Venting Saying “you’re so young” to suicidal people who have literally existed for many years is so patronising

[FuneralCry]

I cannot stand people who say things like that, it's seriously so patronising, it's just a way to invalidate and insult people, I find it disgusting when people dismiss others wish to die all because they aren't elderly. Even one second in this existence is one too long for me, really wish I never existed at all, it's an abomination to exist. Having potentially decades left in this existence is terrifying and it just means more opportunites to suffer and I don't want to suffer in any way, I've suffered for 23 years too long.

Not everyone wants to suffer so unnecessarily for as long as possible, I see no value in prolonging something so futile and torturous as human existence, such a thing just leads to more pain. Only non-existence is desirable to me, I'd always prefer to not exist no matter what. I see no point to suffering in this existence when the peace of death solves everything, there is no benefit to existence, it only ever caused harm in the first place.

I pretty much know what you think about that already, while i get your point what if people that wish to die now wanted to exist in the first place and finds themselves in a situation where they no longer have the choice or the strength?

That's just the way it is, then as an adult you can do whatever you want.

Well I feel kinda guilty telling younger people to get on with suicide, and I'm not sure what the source for that is. It's my emotion and my problem, just saying it's there. I'm only 37 so I'm not even old enough for the peaceful pill book yet.

One of my main worries is because I basically believe that going on for this past twenty years has been a big mistake. Maybe it's that it borders on encouraging people and as an older person I might be taken as some sort of authority when in reality I'm just another idiot.

I'd like people to make their own informed choices. As an older idiot, I can say that not deciding and going through life in a half-assed way was the worst of all.
