Suicide is the opposite of becoming some version of oneself

[tom_46]

Most people spend countless hours of effort trying to become someone, or somebody. They also spend time trying to remove the negatives such as illness, confusion, and suffering. We become attached to concepts, pleasures, relationships, and much more. We wish to become someone with more of these attachments, and less of the negatives. However suicide is not about becoming someone, it's about becoming no one. No human has ever lived a life without negatives, however once you suicide you are no longer human, no longer trying to become someone.

For a long time I did things opposite to becoming someone, all without even being suicidal. I really knew how to waste my life

 

[FuneralCry]

The thought of suicide has always appealed to me personally as I wish to be nothing and no one, I don't want to associate with this life in anyway or have anything to do with this world. Having to carry the burden of existence could never appeal to me, it's pointless, painful and just leads to unnecessary suffering being experienced. I just want to cease to exist and be forgotten about, I'm not meant for existing in any way and to die is what I'm meant for instead. I view becoming anything as being a horrific and undesirable thing and non existence is ideal to me.

 

[Meaninglessness]

Due to the high life expectancy, most people will become suicidal when they live long enough. The reason is the absence of human euthanasia. The body doesn´t last as long as people are expected to live. We will be sick and disabled. We want to take away the pain. Why should we suffer for years in meaningless suffering? When someone has completed life - why continue living in meaninglessness?

It sounds somewhat like you're describing Buddhism, only in Buddhism non-being is the ultimate goal. It sounds as if for you, existence and attachments are positive things?

temporarily, as they prevent the mind from crumbling from within to the negative thoughts. Attachments can temporarily prevent the mind from turning to the more negative aspects of our existence, at least for me.
