Carelessness, they just dont care

 

[Apathy79]

Most people aren't suicidal. Quite the opposite. They keep fretting about wasting time and not making the most of their life. Most old people would give anything to be young again. To have their time over. I think that's just the normal state of humans. Doesn't mean their life is blissful, that would be very rare really, but they like it enough to want to see how it turns out despite the bad things that happen. I think if I didn't have nerve pain, or it was at least controllable, the chances of me catching the bus would be very close to zero. And my life isn't great by any stretch.

They came from a strong family unit

They're part of a strong family unit now

I understood how the world works. A career and money matter a lot

Family matters the most.

A school friend of mine... she actually moved recently, but we're still in contact. She has an amazing family, they all get along and they support every decision she makes. I think, that is the main reason, but she also has a lot of dreams and goals and generally knows what she wants to do in life and her family has the financial resources to pay for rent and other living expenses when she'll have to move to certain city to gain job qualifications. Her parents' financial situation also enables her to travel a lot, see beautiful places all over the world, have nice things, etc.

Of course, she also has problems in life, but they are just on a different scale... I wouldn't consider myself jealous of her, but sometimes I just think what could have been if I had a family like hers. I was still there for her when she felt stressed out about school and she said I was a great help, but for me being stressed because of school is a very little problem compared to what is going on in the rest of my life... that's something I don't say out loud... I choose to not talk about my problems in real life, because I feel like it would be too much for others and maybe to difficult to image that life can look so different for other people.

I believe that the way your parents grew up also plays a role in their relationship to their children. My parents and I had different living realities when growing up. My father is a Boomer (one of those who despises the younger generations) and I'm GenZ so there is quite an age gap and my mother grew up in a communist state, which I did not. As you can imagine, each of us grew up with different problems or views of the world, which results in not understanding each others problems. For my friend it is different, because her parents are younger than mine and grew up in the same country.

I think very religious people are less likely to suicide because they see everything as a test from god and that they will be rewarded for that later. I think having strong faith in the system just protects against suicide

Family matters the most.

I agree because you need a strong support system to achieve what you want

 

[asfergrggdas]

it really all comes down to who your parents are and where you are born in this society.

 

[SoLowHollow48]

Don't make me worry like that. It's usually the least expected ones that go first. Either from CTB or other causes.

Definitely my brothers and my friend, P.

Back then, it was my ex who CTB because she never seemed like a quitter to me. She got a new boy and was almost done with her thesis. Financial issues were there but I really thought that her sister had gotten a job for the family and she too would have thought of something (she's super smart and hard working aside from her depressive episodes)

Turns out I was wrong.

 

[DecayAndAsh]

My friends who've been through suicidal thoughts and attempts before, built lives for themselves, got married etc. They have something to live for, know their warning signs, and effectively mitigate the risk.

I'm confused by this question. When you say "who is the least likely to ctb person you know", do you mean out of the people I know personally? Or people in the general human population?

Of the people I know personally, the least likely to ctb would probably be my mother. She has three children (me and two sisters), lives a very normal life, and is very outgoing, chirpy, and happy. In fact I don't know if my mother has ever been depressed before. She could have been and I just don't know about it, but it doesn't seem like she has ever felt overwhelmingly despondent at any point in her life. It's almost unusual how happy she is all the time lol. I think it would be extremely unexpected and unlikely for her to ctb.

People in general? The least likely to ctb would be babies and children. I would imagine most people younger than 10 wouldn't even be able to conceptualise the concept of suicide nor would the vast majority of them even be physically capable of ending their lives. Speaking for myself I don't even think I fully understood what suicide was until I was around 11/12 years old.

I agree with this. I'm a Born-Again Christian and it is extremely difficult for me to not back out at the last second when I try to kill myself. If not for that, I would have Caught The Bus long ago.

I would say a friend of a friend. He is very privileged in the sense that he thinks that poor people just don't work hard enough and he feels like he's the only person not mentally ill in his generation. He talks about money constantly and never admitting to being wrong in arguments. As you can tell, I am not a big fan of him which is understandable seeing as I'm the complete opposite of him. He is extremely ambitious and always busy enjoying life. I love that for him so I would say he would be least likely.
