None of my friends are pro choice

[Doctors HATE them]

My friends know that I am suicidal. Every time I vent about how I feel they give me the usual "don't do it we love you" and I just don't care. If they don't support my choices then they're not worthy of being my friends. I want to cut them all off.

You shouldn't be too harsh on them, they care about you.
Just understand that the vast majority of people do nit support the right to die.
you're fortunate to have friends that won't shun you for expressing those thoughts, and regard you as if you're radioactive.
Most people treat suicidal people with the least regard.

I have friends that want me to fight an impossible fight, not sure how to express to them though that I'm already dying, and I just want peace

While I share your frustration. Cause trust me I know exactly how you feel. Try to remember that there life experience and also social programming has them believing suicide is bad. It's not there fault they can't be open minded enough to accept you decision. Their love for you desires you to stay and while that's frustrating for us who are pro choice it's also flattering to have friends and family who want you to stay. They don't understand that what they are actually telling you is to continue to suffer. I wouldn't cut them off, instead, cherish those around you till you meet your end. It's a beautiful thing to have those that care about you. Yes, it's frustrating abd even seems like they could be gas lighting you at times. But that's the societal programming. I do believe the tide is turning abd one day pro choice suicide will be mainstream. I won't be around to see it but I see this generation coming being very empathetic to the cause abd understanding "life" as the know it isn't for everyone and causes great suffering abd burdens our society further. To us it's logical to be pro choice in this matter, to them, they aren't ready to accept it yet.

You all are lucky to have friends. I have a self centered personality and have never been successful at keeping friends in my life. I haven't even tried in 15 years (I'm 48 now) and it's very lonely. I get very jealous of people with friends.

Perhaps they don't understand how serious you are about it, so they just want to cut the discussion short in order to change the subject. Or maybe they do not want to think at all about your plans to end your life. Death is scary, and a subject to avoid, for a lot of people.

Try to pick the right moment to start a serious conversation with just one or two of your friends: your desire for ending your life is difficult to cope with for your friends as well.

Good luck!

Those aren't friends to me.

i know exactly how you feel, sometimes i feel as if those responses such as "don't do it" are just knee jerk reaction or they are obligated to say that because of some unspoken rule. none the less it's annoying and i'm sorry they aren't supportive of you

ex got together with multiple suicidal girls because they could both relate to eachother with wanting to die. The misery they created in eachother's lives was something worse than death.

I don't want to talk about this part of myself with the people I love. I don't want them to understand and to draw them into darkness. I want them to walk lightly in life and to try to match their step the best I can.

I think it's certainly not worth it venting to people like that, they sound so ignorant, if they were truly compassionate people they would accept suicide as being a valid option, pro lifers are mostly just privledged people blinded by their delusions, nobody should be obligated to continue something so futile as existing.
