like sorry what it going on? why do people always blame the victim? dont they see we are not weak we have simply been strong through too much and been pushed over the edge? like when your suicidal they make out like its not rational but often its the most rational thing? im just pissed at people referring to me as weak when they dont have a clue what my experience is? like its fine and well when your life is ok to get on your high horse and call other weak for breaking at some point?? and like suicide is fucking hard if you actually attempt fml you have to push past the deepest primal instincts wtf

I've always found them RIDICULOUS.
I'm not telling everyone to CTB but the person who dares to go for it, has way MORE GUTS THAN THOSE THAT CRITICIZE THEM.
They think you're a coward because you can't go on living, but they don't realize it's easier to pretend to be an NPC like them and just ignore this nonsense existence.
Nowadays, I just laugh at them because there's no way they will ever understand the hell we are going through to make such decision.

Society wants people alive, it pushes the agenda that your life is worth living, and thinking the opposite is an issue. Which, that's true, nobody wants to reach the point of thinking about ctb, and the people who do would much prefer to be able to be somewhat happy and content with life. In general. But I believe society pushes this narrative because of work ethics. If you push yourself at your job, even if it's minimum wage or such, you're seen as brave and useful. They need the working force. If you are lazy, or slow, which can be from personal issues or simply mental illness, you are seen as dead weight. You'll be encouraged (encourage is a big word, it's often bullying) to do better and follow the group. So I imagine ctb is the final step of said laziness and imagine of 'giving up'.
Also people believe it's selfish to leave others behind, and lots of other moral arguments. And that's a whole other discussion, and each person is allowed their opinion. Sadly one that people find taboo, or at least from my experience of life, is that as a human and living breathing soul you should be allowed full control over you life. To peacefully leave, or stay. The sheer fact ctb is illegal is mind-blowing to me. In some countries you get fined and locked up for trying, as if that will help?
But meh I'm ranting.

it all depends on your frame of reference
if you are looking at it in terms of evolutionary biology, then the strong survive and weak die and therefore suicide is weak
if you are looking at it in terms of using will power to overcome survival instinct to end pain, then suicide takes a lot of will power and that involves strength
it probably doesn't matter, in a way, things are just as they are and it's not like "weakness" is inherently better than "strength" because free will is an illusion and the universe is deterministic

Some people have no empathy, no ability to put themselves in other's shoes. It sucks, I wish people were more considerate :[

They call it "weak" because that is their cope. There are many defenses people take that boil down to a sentiment they need to repeat to themselves to cope, but really it holds no light to reality.
I think that this world pushes a particular vision of what strength is at the expense of others.
