Why do people think that suicide is wrong?

Some just happen to be unfortunate. If you have no emotional support from family and friends, you're vulnerable to committing suicide. Why? You have no emotional support from people you trust, to tell you that it's wrong. However, it would be stupid to commit it only to dishonor them imho.


Other times, it's mainly people getting melodramatic over whatever trivial reason. Again, emotional support is needed. There are times you will feel like you can't live on. Don't think like that. Instead, seek out your dear ones for emotional support.
 
I think if you're an atheist than it's perfectly reasonable for you to kill yourself.

Why do people think that suicide is wrong? People value life, or fear death, or are religious.
 
The way I see it, there's nothing wrong with suicide when it comes to chronic, incurable, untreatable suffering. I got Hepatitis A (the kind that goes away, I always feel compelled to say that, a lot of people hear Hep and they freak out) when I was in middle school. Apparently an especially strong case

To give you an example, I lost 30 pounds in the first 8 days, went just under 4 weeks without being able to keep down so much as a single saltine, and had to be put on IV several times to keep me hydrated and somewhat nourished because I couldn't even hold down water, let alone food.

For five and a half weeks my life consisted of laying on my bathroom floor because the chronic fatigue made it so that my body couldn't take the 10 foot walk from the couch to the bathroom to vomit every 5 to 10 minutes.

If I had something that made me feel like that, every day, forever? Seriously, just fucking kill me. Not even a joke.

I don't tend to feel the same way about the "Wahhhh, I'm sad" or "Wahhh, pay attention to me" kinds. Selfish *and* stupid.


(Sidenote: even when you get better, you'd be surprised how difficult it is on your body to start eating again after a month without food)

Funny, I've always said the exact opposite. One of the reasons I can't imagine killing myself is because I am an atheist and don't believe in any sort of afterlife. Even were I miserable, might as well stick it out and try to enjoy whatever small pleasures life can provide. I'll only be around another 40-60 years anyway, I'll have the rest of eternity to not exist.

Yeah I find this to be to true. Even if I said it was reasonable.
Atheists tend to value life a lot more than theists.

I mean if I was an atheist I would've offed myself a long time ago.
