Discussion Choosing a "harder" method because it's more appealing versus choosing an easier method?

So I want to CTB by carbon, but SN is easier to organize and has a higher rate of success. Recently, I had some nausea in the morning and it made me panic and feel as if SN would be "difficult" for me mentally. I can calm myself with benzos but I don't know the effect of that yet. Carbon is going to be difficult for me to organize, but it feels more "right" to me. But a lot of people have survived the CO method and it has a higher chance of long-term damage.

Yeah it's a lot of pros and cons. I switch also regularly from sn to hanging. I think it's also SI to question every method and wait for a painfree, fast and reliable death. But this will never come

Yeah totally. My SI is really starting to annoy me. When I research methods and jump back and forth too much I start to get anxiety about it.

difficulty is a subjective thing. Some people find the idea of a certain method harder or easier and given that it's you who's doing it, and your SI that could determine success/failure, it makes total sense. The physical/material difficulty is only one part of it.

What about doing both SN and carbon.

I'd personally always choose the easier method. Unlike normies, I have no interests and challenges and hardships. I want things to be easy for me hence I'd choose the easier method. I'd always choose anything that is easy and most likely to succeed. In this case, that would be SN and even normies know that it's easy to ctb from SN as they're trying to get it banned
