my pro and con list for life

[justfloating]

I saw a thread on hear earlier that inspired me to make this, as you can see the stay alive column is a lot of pathetic reasons that don't hold much significance.

Stay Alive	Just Do It
Uni might be better	I don't see a point in living when I will never be as happy as I once was
'My cat' will miss me	I feel empty all the time, like I'm on autopilot
Curiosity	I'm not someone that people are afraid to lose
Wait until summer to get a tan	'My ex I love' would be better off without me
If I kill myself 'ex best friend' will get more attention than she's worth	People will be sad for a bit but no-one will wholeheartedly miss me
I have money that I should spend first	To give people a wake up call about how they cant go on living their lives, hurting suicidal people so much they push them to kill themselves.
If I kill myself 'my ex I love' will just forget about me and the thought of that hurts	At least then the pain of being unlovable will be gone

Haha. That column on the left is hilarious. Don't get me wrong,suicide isn't a joking matter. But it just made me crack up.

Thanks for that.

Mine is a lot simpler.

Pros: Cats

Cons: Everything else.

@oopswronglife same!! My 2 kittens are my everything! (And also my family and two best friends who I feel bad for hurting) Animals are the best

That's an interesting list there, mine would be a bit different since I have different interests and also I'm single and lead a solitary life.

Left side of the column (LIVE): Pursuing additional goals and hobbies, curiosity to see what happens in the world (good and bad events), be able to enjoy small pleasures time to time.

Right side of the column (CTB): No more unnecessary suffering, people won't miss me and those that do, they will get over it eventually, I have no chance to become a villain or do any potential harm, every living organism eventually dies so what's the difference in dying now than decades (or half a century) later?, shows people not to take others for granted and that pushing someone too far leads to deadly consequences, won't support a society that is prohibitionist towards freedom of choice between life or death, avoid the fate of contracting an illness at old age, and of course, nothingness is better than a life mostly full of suffering with temporary bursts of respite.

My left side (stayin' alive): Family, friends, music, video games, anime, tv shows, art, nice food like: krispy kreme, meatballs, hawaiian sweet rolls and cake ((i could go on all day ))

right side (ctb): Holidays arent the same since moms gone, intermediate family at constant war with each other not really speaking since her passing, sleeping probelms for months probably a year at this point, barely eating, self care is hard, my mind is against me a lot, getting through nights and days are constantly getting harder, my dad sucks, not a lot of friends where i live, no passion for life, no aspirations or dreams, being alone (in the sense i dont have alot of emotional support outside of this forum), i feel like i want to disappear all the time, dont care about the future much anyhow, no pain no suffering, wouldnt be crying and breaking down in public anymore

shows people not to take others for granted and that pushing someone too far leads to deadly consequences

I relate to this one so much, like I know I shouldn't kill myself out of spite but these people just don't give a shit. they just be out there posting their mental health quotes while treating people like shit, and putting fuel on their fire of suicidal thoughts

An interesting way of analysing your situation...

I would like to add, I highly doubt that your ex that you love would ever forget about you if you did CTB. You were a part of their life and unless they are an absolute sicko with no emotions what so ever (which in your situation I doubt as you must love them for a reason) then I can't see this happening at all.

I can sympathise with most of your points in the Just Do It column, but I think you would be mistaken to think that nobody would be bothered or wholeheartedly miss you. One of the main reason I am still here is because of the emotional pain that my passing by suicide would bring to those around me, even though they may not understand my pain and illness.

Personally, having a cat would be the key reason to keep me around!

 

[Partial-Elf]

In favor of living:

• Able to work and organize for some causes I believe in
• Can occasionally reduce the suffering of others
• Will continue to collect perfect songs
• Eventually I'm likely to get another girlfriend
• Trying new foods
• New little hobbies

In favor of suicide:

• Don't have to feel regret, dissatisfaction, or longing anymore
• I see nothing substantially enjoyable in my future
• The daily grind
• Exploitation of the working class
• I chose the wrong career and feel trapped in it for various reasons
• Bizarre emotional and mental volatility
• Consistent emotional and mental pain
• Stress
• Political stuff
• Literally would just prefer not to exist... has been that way since I got a handle on non existence
• I want to go by my own hand rather than by the hand of fate or a self righteous doctor. It's about power and control
• I have enjoyed my partial hanging tests and want to "go all the way"
• Looking at my life narrative, suicide seems more fitting than waning into old age

PROs: fallacy of relative privation

CONs: I'm short and crippled

In my column "Stay Alive" would only one thing - family, the rest shit about CTB.
