On a scale from 1-10 how much does suicide scare you?

[Lifeless mindset]

I'm really curious to hear your guys answers

 

[DIWhyNoDO]

I am mainly afraid to fail to « quit ».
So I'd said 1 for a successfull suicide.
Attempting suicide may even be exciting.

When I am in ideation mode, probably a 2. It sounds like the best option in those moments, and it doesn't scare me. I've only stopped myself due to SI and knowing that it's permanent.

Otherwise, around a 7-8. I know my life on earth really, really sucks, but I fear a lot of things relating to suicide. If my soul is reincarnated into something else, I have no control of what body I will be in or if my existence will be even worse than it is now. And I also can't grapple with being nothing for god knows how many years. It is a difficult concept to wrap my head around.

 

[Chockles]

Failure scares me.
The sooner I die the better I am sufferring so much physically & now emotionally.
I live for N to arrive

 

[ClownMe]

I'll go a 5, right down the middle.

Im not scared of death itself, im scared of how painful committing suicide will be and god forbid, failing.

 

[Chisel]

I would say I'm a 1. Ive had enough of the hurt in this life and unfortunately for me things are only going to get worse.
Having that tiny little bit of control over when and how is all I have left.

 

[Thingsneverchange]

If it's about jumping or something I get scared of the height and of being paralyzed after doing it or failing alltogether. I'd say a 2

 

[Apricity]

I'm gonna go with a 6. I'm not so much afraid of death, but failure. Even more afraid of dying thinking my wife doesn't love me and it not being true. What if, that same day, she realizes she still wants to stay married and have all the good stuff that goes along with it? That's what I'm most afraid of, my main reason being invalid.

 

[Un-]

0. I don't care how painful my suicide will be, I hate living. I want to be nothing. Living is exhausting for no benefit.

Suicide is difficult as we are programmed to survive. If it was easier I would have already been gone. The main thing that scares me is failing an attempt and being left in a worse quality of life. That is my worst nightmare so in that aspect it would be a 10. Apart from that, maybe a 5 for the dying process as I naturally want to avoid pain and discomfort and I wish I could just disappear and not experience dying. However I would push through pain if it means I can be free from this world. Of course I am not afraid of death itself, it brings great comfort to me, the thought of not existing. It is the thing I want the most.

 

[Hurt]

It depends on the method. If it's too painful or not. Train or jumping scares me more than hanging.

 

[xrafinha]

Everyone who's alive has a fear of 10/10, otherwise they woudn't be here. Saying "death doesn't scare me" is super easy considering you are alive. In reality, death is the one of the most scareful thing a human can face, along with a terminal desiese.

People will do about anything to say alive, including lying to theselfs that they will kill themselfs at some point. Of course they are exceptions, but:

"very few fishs will slip through the net of survival instinct" (readed it in here somewhere)

 

[TheHatedOne]

11 because I'm weak pathetic loser.

 

[Tamz]

I think I veer between 3 and 4 most times... SI is shit.

 

[Risperdead]

11 because I'm weak pathetic loser.

10 there is no turning back

 

[Angst Filled Fuck Up]

10 too. Not the idea of being dead, just the attempt.

I wish you keep your head up too! You're not a loser for failing, it's really difficult to commit suicide because all methods are complicated and painful.

I recommend you and everyone watch Doug Stanhope. He's a stand up comedian, more of a philosopher IMO who says so many truths about life and the world we live in.

 

[Mashedout]

10. Death could be anything, no one knows what happens. The imagination can conjure some truely horrific scenarios.

 

[Huntfish34]

I'm right there around a 10.... Even though my method should " maybe " help ease my mind... A gun to my head still scares the ever living Fck outta me honestly.

 

[moths]

probably like a 5. my biggest fear is failing and ending up with severe brain damage, not being able to communicate but being conscious, kept alive by machines… but sometimes i go through phases where its closer to an 8 or 9 because im terrified im going to hell, like the universe is giving me signs i should kill myself as a test to see if i'll fall for it and if i do im going directly to the worst torment and suffering you could imagine. but deep down i dont believe that, im not sure whether i believe in an afterlife or just nothingness but if there is an afterlife realistically i imagine itll be at the very least more peaceful than this world.

 

[SleepDealer]

I'm not scared of suicide. I'm scared of my survival instincts interfering or getting caught, but not death itself. Although, I suppose there is a part of me that's afraid of the momentary discomfort and whatever comes afterwards, so maybe a 2, assuming 1 is no fear at all.

 

[wannabesetfree]

1. I'm not afraid at all and am just ready to go. Peacefully and painlessly. There is absolutely nothing I look forward to other than death. I'm just mad because society makes it so hard to go in a painless, dignified way and I really don't want to go a more violent route.

It's in my nature to completely analyse things to the point I feel I completely understand something upside down and back to front.

This is useful for fixing cars, or electrical things or various projects, not that I do much of any of those things in recent times.

Sadly this analysis of CTB doesn't allay my fears that it will go wrong or be painful and distressing. So my current fear level is about 7 out of 10. Sometimes it goes to a 3 or 4, but right now 7.

People sometimes make the dumb mistake of conflating fear with a lack of motivation. It must be nice to be them and not be me, or someone like me. "It must be ever so relaxing." ;-)

Yeah, I have the fear at times that I would end up in a state where I can't communicate too :-( I think I'm more afraid of that than actually dying :-|

8, unfortunately. Sometimes more, sometimes less. But I wouldnt be here after all these years if it wouldnt be a thing for me.
