Discussion Deep down everyone just wants to kill themselves, right?

It's the only thing that would make sense.

Everyone as in all people in the world or everyone as in all members of this forum?

Surely not everyone wants to kill themselves. Some people probably have things to live for and others don't, but it's impossible to know what everyone thinks about it at a given time when we can't read their minds, so it doesn't make sense to assume that "deep down" everyone just wants to kill themselves.

It probably is the case that everyone at some point in their life considers suicide, whether it's a thought that pops into their head briefly or they think about it for so long that they actually make plans to CTB. Even then, it's hard to know what people actually think about it, unless they open up about it.

Of course no
that is nonsense

No. There are people with ALS that want to live because that is what they want. Search "Jason Becker" he had that disease since early 90s and he's still alive and he never asked for euthanasia. I don't think everyone want to kill themselves deep inside but I think everyone thinks about ctb at least once in their lives.

many normal people do think about suicide, but it's more because of human curiosity, they don't intend to kill themselves and the thoughts are not frequent or serious at all.

Most people don't want to kill themselves.. and the fact that I do is just another thing that makes me feel different and weird compared to everyone else irl..
