Discussion True or False?

[Deadgirl]

Subjectively is this true or false. This is partly true and false for me but mostly false. I care about myself that I want to spear myself from another year of misery but at the same time I can't stand myself.

 

[sunny.sativa]

I can only speak for myself, so I didn't do the poll.

I think I could turn into someone I love and care for. I think I could reshape myself. Not easily, but with work, and anyone could do it.

As of now, however, yes. I think I'm a disgusting waste of human flesh lol so my answer would be ya, I'd remove myself from earth because I don't want anyone else to have to deal with me.

 

[Ivenocare]

Honestly I don't really care about myself, but not really in a negative way; not my reason for ctb personally.

 

[Alchemist]

In my case is true, but in other's cases I can't say.

 

[Fadingfast]

True to me.

 

[Youthanasia]

I actually love myself, sucks that I have to die

Sounding like a psycho is one of my favorite perks

 

[Halo13]

It can go either way.


Just playing devil's advocate here, but suicide doesn't always have to be negative. Killing oneself can be an act of self love, like a mercy killing. Someone can love themselves enough to know it is time to go for many reasons. Conversely, self loathing can bring upon a hatred towards oneself to murder themselves. This question can go both ways or a mixture of both. Some people are sad and mournful of their own impending death, also.

 

[Purgatory]

I absolutely hate myself. I ruin everything good that life presents me. I blame no one but myself. I have borne that hatred of myself too long. Yet I still live. SI is a motherfucker!

 

[Tortured_empath]

I don't hate myself, I tolerate myself. I wish I was somebody else...

Just something that may be interesting to think about - out of the mouths of babes?

​

In the year 2000, when James had just turned two, he began to shout in his sleep - not always coherent - but it seemed to be about a World War II pilot killed in the battle of Iwo Jima. At first, it was just a kid having nightmares. But slowly, over a period of time, the child, James Leininger, began to deliver incredible accurate details, speak coherently, add uncanny facts - minutiae about the pilot - James Huston - his life and history. The information he divulged was of such breadth and diversity that it became impossible to dismiss...I've heard people say, oh, he must have been coached, or influenced by watching TV. But this was a child in his diapers, still sucking on a bottle. How could he be coached to know the flight characteristics of World War II era fighter planes? How could he know the names of the ships and the sailors who had taken part in a certain battle at a certain time? It was always Bruce's (James' father) intention to debunk his son's story. He was an evangelical Christian and thought that proof of reincarnation would damage his faith - one life, one soul, everlasting...Over time, he found that there was an annual reunion of members of the ship that his son had named as his own in his sleep. If he could prove that there were no Corsairs (the plane that James insisted he had flown in the war), he would have made his case that the story was not true and his faith was safe... But something odd happened. During the course of his quest to debunk the story, Andrea (James' mother) tracked down the families of the dead crew members and eventually found James Huston's sister, Ann. The sister had never had any contact with the ship or with the reunions. Still, she was curious about James Leininger; and, finally, sympathetic to his claims to be her brother. She was old and it was hard for her to travel from California, however, so she sent a batch of photographs of her brother taken during the war. And in a couple of the photographs, there was James Huston standing in front of a Corsair...

HA! Obtuse.
I'm suicidal because I hate everybody else, not myself.
Maybe it's not negative, maybe I'm just too fucking cool to live, and the rest of you just don't deserve me.

 

[Angst Filled Fuck Up]

You don't have to hate yourself to have intolerable life circumstances. Idk why people assume ctb can only be due to low self esteem etc. What about those with chronic/terminal illnesses, debt, or anything else? That's why I hate a lot of the positivity espoused by pro lifers. Sometimes there's just no fixing certain things.
