Is suicide selfish?

it's a tricky topic, no doubt.

i think some logic can be applied to both ends

i don't think it's selfish if someone truly is suffering and has tried to get help many times. i feel i'm the same way a lot of the time and half the time the only thing keeping me here is making sure people are okay.

i also get people saying it's selfish, because in every case i've ever seen it's being said by people who have no idea what being depressed really means. it's not just some temporary bad day at the office or getting called fat by some rude bitch. it fucks with your entire psyche.

so i guess now that i type that out, i get why people say it's selfish but i don't think it is. good talk, me.
