Method Been thinking about how affective it would be to stab my neck

[Homulily]

as the title says
i've been considering this as a method to ctb, stabbing my neck with something really sharp.
it'll be painful yeah but like, would this be an effective way to ctb?

my guess is the biggest issues with making an attempt like this would be SI.
so i'd probably need to intoxicate myself, though i planned on doing that anyways before attempting to ctb.

what are the risks in using a method like this one?

If you're serious, it would be a big mess, very painful, and unlikely to die, if that's your goal. But if you stabbed and cut the carotid artery you would probably die, but that would take some good study of anatomy and steely nerves.

I would strongly recommend that even attempting this.

Probably not serious about this method due to the mess, I don't want to be a burden on anyone especially after I ctb.
Cleaning up the blood would be a huge pain for anyone. I don't want to do that.
Was mostly just curious about how effective neck stabbing would be.

If someone stabs your neck, you'll probably lose consciousness relatively quickly (if its the right spot ofc). There are several videos of fights where someone ends up using a knife to slice the others throat. Blood is quick, balance/strength is lost, unconsciousness can set in quite quick.

Not effective in my opinion unless someone's in a very extreme, desperate situation that most of us aren't probably in. Especially considering you need to get drunk before doing it, which would make you more likely to screw up.

I bla bla bla bla

by the way youre signature is completely incorrect. humans thrive by feeling superior or more powerful than other organisms. an expense of someone elses pain is what fuels us to keep going 90% of the time without realizing it. we care about the ones we love to some extent but it is the humour or awkward nature of anothers failure or misfortune that TRULY entertains us and provides happiness.

humans are happy in three ways
reproduction - feeling accepted - feeling superior

Speak for yourself, there are many humans (including me) that thrive on connection, cooperation, and mutual respect, which doesn't involve feeling superior or more powerful than someone else. love, empathy, and purpose are kind of downplayed in your view i feel like

Its not a very effective method OP. Most likely you will not die but have major visible scars. And it would hurt like hell. I would not recommend it.

Yes I think most humans are like this. I don't care at all about feeling superior at all. But agree with the first one.

Sanjay Valvani did it successfully.

June 21 (Reuters) - Sanjay Valvani, a hedge fund manager at Visium Asset Management LP who was arrested last week on insider trading charges, has been found dead in an apparent suicide, the police said on Tuesday.
Valvani, 44, was discovered by his wife on Monday evening at his Brooklyn residence with a wound to his neck, a New York Police Department spokeswoman said. A suicide note has been recovered, as well as a knife, she added.

They included all this on "feeling accepted"

i always speak from own experiences so here is my answer :
i don't think it will work for one simple reason, i'm almost 90% sure that your hit will lack both the accuracy and the strength because of the weird positioning of your carotid
back when i was 11 old i got hit by a car going 120km/h, huge shards of glass flied towards my body after my head hit the windshield, long story short, one of those shards hit my neck causing a massive wound that extended from my adam's apple to the side of my neck, the surgeon said that if that glass shard was only 3mm deeper it would've cut my carotid killing me on the spot
mind you that shard had a spherical shape and was almost 4cm in length and traveling way over 100kmh and still couldn't do the job

You have a ~1% chance of success here. Not a good statistic. Your mind and body will stop you from continuing long before you reach your carotid artery, which is the only way to really succeed at this. It may feel superficial, but the carotid is far deeper beneath tissue and muscle than you realize. You'll have a nasty scar and feel a lot of pain but you are almost guaranteed to survive.

Survival instinct would make this so hard to manage that I honestly can't see it working.
