Why do people think suicide is bad? This isnt me memeing, why shouldnt you be able to set a limit on how bad it gets?

Because of Christianism.

They are more concerned with the impact your death will have on others than your own choice to stop your suffering.
It shows how shitty utilitarianism is.

Permanent solution to a temporary problem.

Why is murder bad?
Is that your question?
I don't have any real issues with suicide but,
1. While there are times where things are VERY bad, there still are a great deal of suicides which are spur of the moment, overestimation of how bad circumstances are, or are just rashly considered.
A meaningful suicide, or what I would describe as a justified suicide, requires a certain detachment, which seems paradoxical for suicide but without this recognition of autonomy the decision seems poorly considered.
2. An often cited point is how it effects others, though most people who are pro-suicide don't feel this is a valid point, but I will argue it is.
Again though, there are times where it is understandable, but I don't think a suicidal person has any more right then a concerned bystander to exert themselves upon others (i.e. the effect a suicidal person has on a bystander and vice versa).

I just think thats so insignificant though - you should keep suffering because stopping it makes other people feel worse?
People always say do what makes you happy and don't let others stop you from doing that, cant you apply that to this situation? shouldn't you ultimately act in your self interests?
I know I'm not really articulating my point clearly, I'm tired as fuck, but I think you understand my intentions and I know that your argument is one of the legitimate counters to mine so yeah it's worth adressing.

I'm not saying that you SHOULDN'T commit suicide because it will inflict pain on others, I'm saying that THE REASON other people see suicide as MORALLY WRONG is because it causes pain for THEM.
I'm literally answering your question
>Why do people think suicide is bad?
Me, personally, I don't really care if it's morally wrong or not. Morality has very little say when you lack the will to live.
>cant you apply that to this situation?
Sure, if you want.
>shouldn't you ultimately act in your self interests?
There's no should's and shouldn't's in life. Do what you will.

If you had any grasp at the depths of depression, or how low the human psych can emotionally reach, you'd know it wasn't a "temporary" problem. Depressed once, depressed always. Incapable of reaching your aspirations (socially or emotionally), chances are, you're permanently incapable. People don't end their life on a mood swing.

but brah, if nothing like matters and you have like no motivation do anything, why don't you just like say FUCK IT and do what you want brah!
I'll never understand depression lol
>>1936801
LIFE is a temporary problem. Suicide is pointless, you'll be dead soon enough anyway. And I HAVE suffered with depression and in fact attempted suicide, so I think I know a little about the topic.

FTFY

The impact is very small unless you have a child old enough to understand what happened and young enough to be permanently emotionally affected by it. Grief doesn't last forever. I've had people in my family die of natural causes and one suicide. Family member doesn't seem affected by one anymore than the other.
