Why is it so hard to commit suicide ?

We all die one day.

But I agree. Why can't it be now? Why do we have to live long?

I hate how hard it is wish someone would just put me out of my misery already…

 

[Vlad Tepes]

I know, right? It's like I exist for no reason other than to suffer. Considering my dogshit luck, I feel like the cosmos itself is cursing every attempt of mine to leave this world. Tragicomedy.

I live near a very large bridge. It has a fence and I thought some sort of tightly wound barbed wire at the top. Today I went across it and noticed it's not, it's just the top of regular fencing. So I realized I could stop near it, climb on my car, and nearly be at the top of it already. Then boom, it's over. If I stop, end is here in just a few minutes.
But I just kept driving. And now like most days I'm stuck to the couch.

Simply because of survival instinct. But survival instinct does not make sense.

It's hard because the suicidal people who didn't have any survival instinct did commit suicide over hundreds of millions of years and as a result they didn't reproduce, their genes didn't pass on. So because of natural selection, suicide is incredibly hard to do.

I really understand, I see so much cruelty in how the option to peacefully cease existing is denied with the suffering and torture of existing seen as to force and prolong no matter what, all I wish for is to cease existing peacefully and I always suffer so much from being trapped in this dreadful, torturous existence that I just never would had chosen that only ever caused me to suffer.

It is survival instinct and it definitely makes sense. Evolutionarily, the more prone to CTB after some tragic event, sad life, etc. etc. the more likely you are to die, not pass on your genes and now millions and millions of years later here we are. Survival instinct is VERY strong. It can be lowered with drugs etc. but it won't be easy to "pull the trigger" for 99,999% of people.

 

[Dark Moon]

I guess the survival instinct and lack of available methods outside of hanging and jumping that is. I wish it was easier and more straightforward to exit.

The reason we don't have a safe, painless escape (like euthanasia) because they like to say life is so precious and you have so much to live for which is a absolute fucking lie...They just want to squeeze whatever you have to give. (Government, people and organizations). What is there, really? Death and taxes? WOW IT'S SO COOL BEING ALIVE! No, it's absolute shit in ever sense of the world. sure you'll have micro doses of good here and there, but is it worth such little happiness instead of a metric ton of suffering, saddness, loneliness, bitter, jaded that overshadows all the possibly good things? personally? NO! I **HATE** the world of today, can't stand people, can't stand social media, dating apps, tik tok, censorship, having a opinion and being KILLED for it! Good job, Humans, Scum of the earth. You ruined what was once good and people offing themselves because they hate it too. well done.

I'm slowly isolating myself. If I want to achieve my goal, I can't remain immersed in the pro-life culture. I stop watching TV and try to watch videos of suicides as much as possible. I've written a list of all the bad things that have happened to me in life and those that could happen. Little by little, I'm detoxing from the world and its unhealthy obsession with life. I can't normalize suicides in a short time like a suicide bomber who has the complete support of his environment. My environment is at the complete opposite pole, that of the pro-life world. From my perspective, it's all a question of exposure.

For me, life is diverse, colorful, and arguably enjoyable, if you have it.

It all comes back to each individual... I don't want to say that this world is stupid or ridiculous or anything like that because I don't have everything that makes me want to live and wake up again tomorrow. I'm just a piece of flesh that should have died yesterday and never even been born. This is all my fault, it's all because of my own mistakes, not finding meaning in this world. The commitment and strong desire to keep living and the desire to die are completely different... and now ask yourself once more, which of those two desires do you have in your current situation?

If you think about it again, in this pleasant world, and we who are this desperate... you could say we are some of the unlucky ones. People live their days because they have reasons for it, family, friends, colleagues, work, all kinds of things... but I don't think I do. I've lost almost all of that. There might still be hope... but I'm too lazy and stupid to achieve it because every time I look in the mirror, something crosses my mind. "No matter how hard you try, it will all fail. No matter how much you do, it will all be in vain. Look at yourself now."​

Because everything except our will is against it- our biology, families, society. They all do what they can to make it as difficult, dangerous and unpleasant as possible.

I just watched the documentary about Charlie Sheen. Here's a guy who did every type of drug excessively, got HIV, and lived on the dangerous edge of life and death every single day, with no consideration of just how good his life is. Yet that asshole is still alive.

Then there's the rest of us, struggling with life, mental illness, poverty or other terrible circumstances and we're trying to die but can't. The irony of it all isn't lost on me.
