I read this Reddit thread that made me realize how quickly I will disappear

[ScorpiusDragon]

^I feel like the suicidal guy in the post will probably be me once I'm dead. Distant college acquaintances and "friends" might post on Facebook about how close we were when I was alive or how they wish they got to know me better. And then 1 week later, the only person who knew me IRL who will even care is my bf.

I have the some problem, I would be forgotten in few days, actually a lot of people would be happy of my death, such as some of my relatives, sad story.

I guess I don't really see this as a problem. It would be easier to go if nobody misses me. My boyfriend is the only person still holding me here because I know he would be devastated.

 

[Wayfaerer]

I wouldn't ever expect anyone who wasn't my friend (not acquaintances) or a member of my family to care more than a week if that. I don't know what people expect honestly. However, it does infuriate me that people pretend to care when they really do not give a fuck. I would feel insulted by that if I wasn't dead.

 

[ProlongedSentence]

Yep.

Actually this is very sad for me because loneliness and hate from other people is one of my main reason to ctb.

It is easier to go if nobody is missing you. No strings attached, no worries, no guilt.

That post hurts to read. Not only for the poor young man who killed himself but also for the OP himself. I wish that the suffering at least had inherent meaning to it, that all could grow and learn from pain and eventually find their happiness... I get a feeling of acute dread every time I remember that this isn't the case.

"Some of us were just born losers." Just... fuck.

i don't expect other people to remember me one bit.. The only fear is my parents and my dog would remember me too much

What about the dog? Your parents will take care?

 

[wendydong1]

yes. That's my hope

 

[Erin Inari]

I feel the same way. When I do go I doubt anyone but my close family will care at this point. Sad to think about really, wish I knew some more people but at the same time don't want to hurt more people than I will.

 

[Alchemist]

I don't think anyone anyone will forget about me after I die, they already have.

I feel the same way. Closed permanently facebook so no one will find out if I ctb.

 

[Stan]

I have ghosted everyone out so I know there won't be an impact

 

[CursedForDisaster]

My family won't forget me but my friends eventually will, and I'm glad.

Some people here would miss you.

 

[ScorpiusDragon]

Some people here would miss you.

*hugs*

 

[RightToExit]

I'd be 100% fine if everybody just completely forgets about me when I die.

I mean, if you kill yourself, you make the choice to leave them all behind, and you also forget them (death makes you forget everything), so you can't really blame them.

 

[RedPanda]

It's a part of life, life needs to move on. We are here for a moment and then we're gone, in most cases forgotten very quickly which shouldn't matter because you're dead. It's the cycle of life.

 

[Supersadmommy90]

I feel the same way. Closed permanently facebook so no one will find out if I ctb.

I will be deleting FB myself too well prior to ctb. The last thing I want is my ctb to be a sensation on crap book.

 

[sadak_the_wanderer]

A while back I made a list of people who would notice that I was gone, then the subset who might try to find out where I went, then of those, who might care, etc. it is not a big list, when you get right down to it. Who would speak your name in a year or ten?

The exercise made the decision easier.

I have no friends or family. Nobody would know or care if I died. I will have nobody at a funeral. My 51 years on this planet meant nothing. It will be like I never existed

As very sad as that is, it also has the upside of not hurting your loved ones.

 

[not-2-b-the-answer]

I can honestly say that other than family, I won't be missed by that many people. A few friends. There will be the shock for some other than family but I will
be forgotten quickly.

 

[Meretlein]

I don't care about being forgotten, I just want my suffering to end.

In fact being forgotten definitely has some perks compared to everyone knowing all about my private life.

Or think they knowing.

 

[marcusuk63]

I will be missed by all the people including family who i only hear from when they want some decorating , plumbing, building , a lift some where or dog sitting done ,
I will be missed in the neighbourhood as for 20 years i've been unofficial caretaker and i keep the street , paths and tenfoot clean , weeded and cleared of fly tippers ...
I've already turned down 5 jobs in the last 3 months (i only work part time just enough to survive , no point working anymore than you need to lol ) , telling them i dont do it anymore , not heard a word from them since lol
So i imagine my name will be mentioned when people need something doing and have to pay 10x for a substandard job and the street and tenfoot are like a jungle

 

[Zal]

The only thing I hope for once I die is that my death won't be used against my beliefs. In that aspect, it is better to be forgotten instead of being remembered. It is a complete insult to use the dead for their own causes contradicting the dead's own beliefs.

Though in my case, aside from my family, I won't be missed much. One advantage of being friendless and an introvert I guess.

 

[Dreamwithinadream]

I don't care about being forgotten at this point.
