I understand how it would be, considering not many people have anywhere or anyone else to go to and open up without being either discriminated, avoided, or told to "eat, exercise, and go see a doctor". As @AlreadyGone has said, no matter when and how you go, people are going to be affected by you leaving. It's unavoidable. Do what's right for you. If you feel it'll be better not to do it then, than that's alright, that is your decision and what you feel is best. Jus know this is your path. You do what you think is right, considering others isn't a bad thing, just understand that this is your life, not theirs. Good luck with whatever you do, and hopefully you go to a place where the stars glisten brightly and the peace and quiet is one that comforts you, away from all the stress and pain.
I doubt you have over 300 loved ones with unique birthdays throughout the year. You might not be able to avoid the month that someones birthday is in, or the month of 4th of July. But I'm sure it wouldn't cost much for you to wait til say, the 5th or the 6th, or the weekend after, which would probably make things a bit easier for everyone else.
So if you had a loved ones birthday coming up, and it would cost you nothing to wait a day, you would do it on their birthday anyway?
It really depends on the situation. I'm unlikely to ctb on Christmas day, but a week away from Christmas I'd be in a holiday period from college and have plenty of time alone, giving me a great chance to ctb.
I wanted to a few weeks ago, but didn't want my brother to have his birthday constantly reminded of my death. Additionally, I want my other siblings to have some time to grief before heading back to college. Definitely don't want July 4th to remind them of the day I left this world. I know I'm going to leave enough pain behind as I go, I'd rather it not be associated with a significant event, whether it's a national holiday or a family birthday.
