Why Is Someone Who Commits Suicide Termed As Being ''selfish''? by Magnoliaa(f): 9:49pm On Apr 09, 2017
Why and HOW is such a person selfish??

They are not needed or wanted. . .they are not 'contributing' anything meaningful or being useful. Their presence is not felt in the first place, so who exactly are they hurting if they take their life?

No one cares. So their. . .death shouldn't make any difference to ANYTHING. Since they ain't actually doing something or anything(good) for anyone.

No one cares and no one is going to lose (yes no one cos the pain will be gotten rid of)

Whether in act or in words, it's been made CLEAR that they are of no use. . So how are they being selfish if they excuse those ''loved ones''?

So. . Money, food, expenses, resources etc, will not be wasted on them anymore.

And that's even a considerate thing to do. .easing the ''loved ones'' of those responsibilities. . .
How is that being selfish now?

Noone is ever completely worthless. Fact is, you probably mean the world to at least one person in your life but you can't see it because you're blinded by self-loathing, misery & disappointment. It's selfish because you're doing it to ease your own pain. What of the pain you'll be leaving behind? Because like I said, someone cares, you're just too into your own thing to realize or notice it. I hope it's not you that's thinking about offing yourself. Don't do it. Things change & life does get better eventually. It's only a passing phase.

This ur opinion scares me. I advise that ur people shd alwz b around u. SUICIDE is never an option. Its d way of d coward. They are tagged selfish because they only think abt their own. Like they dont care abt how people around them will feel if they eventually commit suicide. People will cry and many people may still run into trouble in case of no suicide note. Many people will be shocked by such act. So because they dont care abt how other people will feel after their demise, but think ONLY about their coward escape route, hence they are usually tagged selfish.

Committing suicide is against natural and civil laws. It is regarded as murder- taking of life, be it urs or others.

As for me i don't think it's selfish, it's a choice, and if you want your life to end.. Then end it. Maybe it's a little selfish if you don't think about it, don't tell anyone, and don't get help. People think it is selfish because your loved ones would miss you.. Well, why didn't those loved ones notice the depression, why didn't they try to help. I mean, I know some people don't tell, but they do change.. So loved ones should notice

It is termed selfish because of the grief that will affect the latter's family

If only they consider the emotional hurt they predispose their parents, siblings and friends to.
If only they know they could be an inspiration to another.
If only they know they have a duty to teach the younger generation.
If only they know that suicide is not an option.

With this sort of warped mindset I am finally getting to understand why you are the way you are.

If you're depressed or suicidal, you need to treat yourself as a sick patient, just like you do when you have malaria. It is merely chemicals in your brain which when brought to a balance, you'll be surprised how much you'll want to live again.

Have you talked to a psychologist? We now have antidepressants that when you start taking them, your perception of life will change unbelievably.

That problem you think it's too overwhelming to handle, you'd be surprised how willing you will want to face them head-on and defeat them when you're placed on an antidepressant.

Go to any general hospital closest to you, and ask to meet with either a therapist, psychotherapist, or psychologist. Please fight for yourself. There's always something to live for.

You know what helps me get by? There are people out there in worst situations than I am, yet they keep living, with gratitude. If they can, why can't I?

No problem or situation is worth taking your life, selfish or not. I hope you fight for YOU because no one will. As you said, no one cares. But you should care for YOU when no one does.

Thanks for the mention KingOfTheDamned. I really hope she seeks help.

me I think say people who commit suicide are actually very brave. living is not easy, dying too is not easy. If you think say e dey easy, then try it.. what people dont know is that, the courage used in dying is even more doubled than the one used to live.
