Poll: Has lack of friends and\or being single impacted your desire to ctb?

[Heavenbound]

I would really like to know…

The lack of a romantic relationship exacerbated it, but I would still CTB even if I had a relationship.

I used to question the saying "You cannot be loved, unless you love yourself", but as my self hate grows, it makes a lot of sense.

Should have posted it on suicide discussion

It's hard to say really. I expect my life would have been very different- and maybe better if I had a partner and friends. Still, it's not exactly something that is driving me to CTB. I'd say I was a natural loner- I'm actually very comfortable with my own company. So- while it's something that may have stopped me from getting to this point- it isn't something I long for. How about you?

 

[Heavenbound]

It is definitely a huge factor for me wanting to ctb, but not the sole reason.

I know that being in a relationship isn't going to solve my problems, but I think it might give me a reason to live. I really just need to take care of someone. It's hard to say if I would still ctb.

As for friends, I have a few. They are all long distance and that's good enough for me. It would be nice to have a few more, locally, to do things with but not a necessity.
Just a lot of factors at play here…

No, absolutely not. I would rather avoid other people personally, and anyway relationships usually just lead to more suffering as you cannot trust and rely on people, I think that such a thing makes people feel even more suicidal. It's better to be alone, this shallow human species just reminds me of why this world truly is such a hellish place.

 

[Dead Ghost]

No, I've always been antisocial.

[lovesickness]

Yes, to both. I can't connect with other people and it makes me feel completely alien. I just keep isolating and avoiding others both online and irl. After a while my loneliness becomes to unbearable for me to handle because I hate my own presence, but I can't just open up to people no matter how hard I try. I will always be alone and I hate that.

 

[Float On Okay]

Yes, but I recognize that if I had both of those things, I would still have a shitload of problems to deal with and new ones. The grass usually isn't much greener on the other side.

 

[SilentSadness]

I don't really mind being alone, I would ctb either way.

 

[CentreMid]

I have a very small social circle. I mean yes, I have many acquaintances, but I'd consider maybe only 1 or 2 peopl to actually be friends. As far as romantic relationships go, I've said this in a previous thread a while ago, but my ex breaking up with me wasn't a reason to ctb, but she certainly took away a reason for me to live.

 

[Zegers]

Health is at the top of the pyramid but not having social relations affects a lot.

 

[Actovania]

Probably a factor in the majority of ctbs. When you have nobody to live for the point of living is gone

 

[jazzcat]

the few friends I've got don't care much about me, and I've never been in a relationship, I just find it incredibly difficult to click with other people, maybe if that wasn't the case things would be different but they're not and in this reality it seems inevitable to ctb

 

[Rocinante]

It's the primary contributing factor in me wanting to CTB
I am forced to endure a life of loneliness and suffering.

 

[CloudyNight]

All the people that I have had a romantic relationship has left me out of the blue and never speak to me again so when I do find someone I alway get scared to commit to them and I'm a back up friend so if my friends first pick is not there I'm the rebound it is what it is tho

 

[g56f32Z4n8#uExEuU*@]

My wife is one of the main reasons I want to CTB. I'd probably be content enough of life if I wasn't stuck to her. It's interesting because many in this forum think that, if they had someone to take care of, their lives would be better. In my case, I am forced to take care of her, a hypochondriac that refuses therapy, and I can't stand her fictional illnesses and exaggerated worries. My life was ruined by being with her.
