No one gave a shit when I was still alive. Why would they care after I am dead?

I don't care what happens next, it's no longer my problem.

I thought about doing it before, but I didn't know what to write. My life is fucking empty, nothing worth leaving behind.

That's kind of what my suicide note already is, though it's more about how I feel at present in relation to certain past events rather than detailing the events themselves.

I think I've said enough that people could piece it together if they really wanted to. I just don't have the energy left or clarity of thought

Nah. Too much effort for me to be called a pussy beyond the grave, to be honest. If the people in my life barely understand me now, I'm not sure if a post mortem autobiography would make a difference.

No. I wouldn't know what to write. I cannot express my feelings and I'm not good at writing. I learned to hide my feelings and keep everything to myself.

I think it would be a nice thing to do for yourself, just to spend some time looking back at your life while you're still here and sort of summing up everything. I think this kind of introspection might give you ideas about what is the "unfinished business" you still have to take care of. Might not be so good for other people who hate reminiscing, though.
As for people reading it once I'm dead...well, there's no way to really tell whether anyone would read it or not and it wouldn't matter to us at that point anyway, so I wouldn't focus on getting anyone else to understand me too much. Maybe just do something like that as an excercise in understanding myself better.

You never know who in the future will read what you said and find inspiration.

That's kind of the same with my Suicide Note too. Family and some good friends know me well enough to piece it together along with the suicide note and I don't really think random strangers would care about me at all nor do I care that much if they care.

Everyone has value. Everyone's experiences could be helpful to someone going through similar problems.

No. It's not like anyone would understand anyways. It would just come off very narcissistic.

Thats how I feel as well.

But this is true as well. Theres a website, idk if its still around or what it was but it was just a collection of suicide notes, some were celebrities, some weren't. I was on a forum a long time ago and they were going through them, talking about them.

I've thought about this, but honestly I would rather just be forgotten.
