Spite, that’s what your enemy’s want. Don’t give them the fucking satisfaction!
I want to outlive this shitty marriage I’m stuck in, sort out my finances, and take back my own life. I’m sick of being called a fucking cunt or accused of hiding money or all the shit he’s saying to me, none of which is true. He’s a malignant narcissist and I’m so tired of living like this.
Because we need you to help make world a better place to live.
Plus you’ll miss cat videos.
Just about every single attempt to self-terminate stems from a systemic flaw or imbalance in the fragile human form. Pretty much always treatable. What seems logical now might seem silly later. Don’t let irrational mentality run your life or your death.
Also, there are people who oppose you. Fuck those people. Your life ending would benefit them, therefor you can never die.
A good cup of coffee.
Science, pancakes, art, philosophy, cats.
You can always end it later, so stick around a little longer and see how things play out.
Weaponized procrastination, I like it
Everything ends and everything changes.
Might as well see what will come your way.
This is my philosophy too. If you’re gonna do it then there’s no harm in doing something fun first, and if it’s still bad tomorrow you can finish it then. Having suicide as an option always on the table is a bit freeing, honestly. Momento mori and all that.
This is my excuse. I can die any day I want, but I can’t play the new warframe update after I die so I’ll just put that off.
And if you wait long enough it’ll end anyway.

Food tastes good
Sunsets are awesome
Some people are worth being around
You might mess up the attempt and end up worse off than you are now
Religion might be right and you end up in the bad place
Religion might be right and you end up in the bad place
With modern life being as it is, we would be screwed either way in most religions. Everyone is probably breaking at least a couple of dozen rules in every religion.
Even if you just need to follow a central “be kind”-rule - how kind is it to buy stuff on Amazon, packed and delivered by wage slaves, which was imported from China (which may include child or slave labour) [or some US states for that matter] while also hurting the environment in the process.
There is no ethical consumption under capitalism. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
Literally the entire plot of The Good Place
If anyone still haven’t watched it, they should.
BORTLES! 🍾🔥
Such a good series, but I deliberately didn’t mention it here as not to spoil too much😅
this is what your enemies would like to see. don’t have enemies? make some
And make sure you’re alive long enough to spit on their graves.
Don’t do the Nazis’ job for them.
My partner and dog would be sad.
I don’t have nearly enough credit card debt to annoy the cc companies when I die
Yeah, the biggest 3 links to meaning are our social connections. Children, partner, and pets. Close family/cherished friend can replace one of the three.
I’m not going to pretend it’s a good answer because it cuts in many directions, but the following has been my thinking on this:
Because if you have nothing to live for, you have nothing holding you back from taking massive risks. Take the massive risk over your own life. Suicide can come later, once you’ve done something risky and cool first that requires a meatsuit. As far as we know you only get one of those, and there’s far more than you might think that only requires one of 'em and infinite risk tolerance.
Not comfortable with the risk? Why, if you have nothing to live for? Tease that out and you can work in the other direction.
Oh so I should rob a bank first?
🙃
Rob a bank, stowaway on a container ship, free climb a mountain or skyscraper, take out a bunch of loans and spend it on whatever, scam a bunch of dangerous people, the sky’s the limit. I’d actually say think bigger.

Life is the only thing a human is guaranteed to have - and, as far as I’m concerned, we only get it once. To finish it early seems a terrible waste. It’s the only thing we’ll ever get to do. Might as well give it a bit of a go… it’s not like it goes on for ever, anyway.
Losing someone to suicide sucks. I’m willing to bet there is at least one person in your life who would be sad (or perhaps devastated) if you suddenly died. Even if it means continuing on while unhappy, don’t put that person through such an ordeal.
Depression is a temporary condition. It feels like it’ll last forever and that life can never go back to the way it was, but that’s not true. It might change you, and that change might be for the worse, but you can escape it. You can. It’s hard, but it’ll be worth once you’re on the other side.
Start by seeking professional help. There are affordable (and, depending on your area, perhaps free) options out there. Then, change how your mind thinks. Don’t let those thoughts rule you. Fight them! You can do it!
The fact that you immediately jumped to depression seems like you didn’t even think about the question.
There is literally no reason to live, we’ve made that all up. That’s not depression, that’s reality. Pushing fundamental questions into a pathological corner is condescending.
Call me crazy, but typically when someone asks for reasons to not kill themselves, depression is involved. Maybe OP was just starting conversation, but given the question and the increasing rate of people struggling with depression, I thought I’d offer my thoughts. I don’t believe this answer was condescending.
