Who's REALLY going to go through with it? I know I am. This is just my decision, though. I'm on here just writing out the many ramblings and babblings in my mind as I prepare to do it. Also, there are some good posts regarding resources. Who else is going to do it soon? I'm suiciding at the end of the summer. I'm doing a couple "bucket list" things before I do. But, it's inevitable at this point. I realized, today, I'm not happy with life. I've never been happy with life. I never took it for granted. I tried my best to live life to its fullest extent. This is the only path my life can take. I definitely don't want to be taken by someone else. And I don't want to die of a slow illness beyond my control. I'm getting older. I'm alone. My health is failing me. My finances are not sufficient enough to attempt old age. For me, this is the only way. I don't see my life getting better at a personal level. I also see the world falling apart. The economic collapse that is looming over a lot of countries (especially the U.S.), the growing racial tensions, the crumbling morals and ethics of humans... it's all so sad to see. I don't want to be around when those hammers all drop. So, I'm being very serious when I write about this.
Who else is serious?
I abhor this question and the thinking behind it. It is like you have decided that you alone are the judge of other people. You have set a criteria for being "serious" and are ready to condemn anyone not meeting your criteria, as if they are some kind of failure for not doing it. this is ludicrous thinking.
Speak only for yourself. Do not speak for or judge others.
There is no harm in taking time to reflect, or having things in the way. There is no shame here, it is a PERSONAL choice. It is not for you to disparage as not being good enough for you.
In fact, it sounds pretty strange to be challenging people to prove themselves or defend themselves to you. You have no rights over anyone else's mind or choices. Their reasons are their own. They can change their minds and do as they please without your opinions and judgement.
No one owes you anything. If you are serious, whatever that means to you, then it for you and you alone to choose as you will for your own life. Everyone else gets to choose for theirs and has NOTHING to do with you.
Absolutely abhorrent question. It reminds me of when I was on dating sites in my twenties and men would chat with me briefly then want to meet after just a day or two and then take my healthy and reasonable caution as "not being serious". It is a manipulative tactic, not an actual question. It feels like you just want to push people into proving themselves to you and it's pathetic.
