It is selfish.
It doesn't only effect you...
even if you feel like no one cares...chances are...someone does.

Well, considering I only have four people that are close to me anymore, I'd either:

prsnltyquizaddict:  (girlfriend)  Go with her.

theglassflute:  (friend)  Be really, really depressed.

squiglee:  (something like that, friend)  Be really, really depressed.

Blake:  (not on LW, friend)  No clue.

i don't think it's selfish. the person did it for a reason. they thought it out and are in a happier place.

I think it's selfish to think it's selfish.

why's that? i dont want to be hated, i was just wondering.


Because you're hating that person for "leaving you" instead of realizing the pain they must have felt and how they didn't want to deal with it anymore.

I'm sick of following my dreams.
I'm just going to ask them where they're going and hook up with them later.

I think suicide is one of the hardest things to cope with. You feel angry at the person, and then guilty for feeling angry... and then angry at them for making you feel guilty. You constantly wonder if you had said something, if you had phoned them, if you hadn't rushed off then... You worry about what they were going through, and that you didn't know, didn't do anything. You feel angry that no one else realised, that no one else knew how bad it was for them - even the people that were supposed to. Then you feel guilty about blaming other people.

You wonder why they felt there was no point to their life any more... whether it was to do with you, or someone else you know. The circle of guilt and anger keeps going on.

Suicide isn't like a natural death. It is a tragedy, and one that you are sure could have been prevented.

The suicide of one person can lead to the suicide of another close to them, or nearly to it... such is the pain that it causes.

You miss them so much... and can't help thinking about what must have been going through their mind to make them do that.

It isn't anything like any other death. They CHOSE to leave you and everyone else... but why?

It takes a long time to get over a suicide, if you ever can. You have to come to terms with it somehow... to accept that it wasn't your fault, that you couldn't have stopped it and that it is okay to miss them like mad.

It still really upsets me to think about it, and I do a lot... even three and a half years on.

I don't think anyone can truly understand what it feels like unless they have experienced it themselves.

i'd probably be angry for a bit, i'd probably hate them for a bit, but all these things would be so very natural reactions to something like suicide. at the heart of it, though, all those emotions would come from the love i felt for that person, and my sadness at them having chosen to take their life. it's selfish in the sense that it will cause so much hurt - hurt i can't even begin to describe - to the people around that person. but then, isn't it just as selfish to force a person to live if they don't want to?

i think the big question over whether or not suicide is selfish is really rather pointless, to be honest.
