Is suicide an act of selfishness?

[Itachi The Solo King]

Do you think suicide is selfish? they say if you do it you're only thinking about yourself without taking into consideration the pain of loss your family will go through after you die, so do you think suicide is selfish or not?​

 

[Pumpkin Ninja]

Depends on the reasons, I guess.

I have never thought of suicide but I have wondered what would happen to my family if I did do the deed.
First of all, the emotional toll would be huge because it would be strange for someone as young as myself to commit suicide (im 18).
Then there's my sister, I have pretty much raised her and I cant imagine what would happen to her or what she would go through.
I also know that I will probably be a huge pillar of support for my family later on in life, so overall yes, I do think suicide is selfish.

Suicide....its a choice....and the choice it self is selfish

Well when people consider suicide, that means they have felt utter despair and depression.
And if that happens, it would likely suggest that the suicidal ones have fallen under the belief
that their friends and family would not care if they died, or may even be better off. When people
being to feel like a burden to everyone and feel like they suck at everything due to pressure by
society, failures in the modern world, and constant insults from others, they tend to lose sight
very quickly of the good and those that care. So perhaps it is selfish to some extent in that they
only care about getting rid of their own pain, but really, often the people in that level of pain
might think that they're only being a pain to others themselves and believe they are doing the world
a great favor.

As a suicide survivor, I say yeah. However, it pains me when people who commit suicide are called cowards. Some people can't deal with the pain and hardships that life brings them. We feel alone as that darkness clouds us. People who call us cowards will never understand. Some people may seem happy, but will always have that baggage. And that baggage, the insecurities, and the struggle can really mess with our minds.

Well of course it's selfish, it involves you ending your life. That's like the definition of selfish behavior.

It hurts the people around you sure but technically they are selfish for wanting you to live miserably.

I wouldn't do it though, I love life.

 

[Gerkak]

Suicide(as in ending your life because you think it sucks) and self sacrifice (as in sacrificing your life to save someone) are two different things.

Suicide is not only selfish, it is but foolish as well

 

[JStar King]

The only reason why Im still here is because of my mom, who is my guardian angel from heaven above. I know she wants me to live and I understand that she wouldn't want that for me. So, yes, I thought I was selfish because I thought I was nothing, but my mother thought I was something. She gave me life.

Yes it's very selfish and very stupid.

[Yusuke Urameshi]

100%, yes.

 

[Ldude]

I think that calling other people selfish is the ultimate form of selfishness, i.e. expecting someone to live for your sake when they are unhappy with life.

 

[JStar King]

Yes it's very selfish and very stupid.

You know nothing.

 

[Venomous Cobra]

i may offend slot of people with this but suicide is act of an weak minded individual..........

 

[Kamui Sama]

I kind of agree

 

[ANiMUS]

Do you think suicide is selfish? they say if you do it you're only thinking about yourself without taking into consideration the pain of loss your family will go through after you die, so do you think suicide is selfish or not?​

Yes, selfish as well as weak. :|

 

[NineSNS]

Selfishness implies that a person values themselves or their needs over everyone else's.

Suicide demonstrates that a person believes his life has no value. I can't call that selfishness.

 

[dms_kakashi]

One who think of sucide are blind of reality. Its not their mistake.
So its not selfish

 

[Kenotthib]

It isn't selfish because no one owns you and you have the ultimate say so on what you do to you're body.

 

[Transcendence]

You know nothing.

Don't even try to lecture him about suicide or depression. When someone here told him about depression and contemplating suicide, he uses it as an insult and makes fun of the person, and makes fun of my depression as well.
