Is suicide a cowardly way to go?

I like to think of every time I could have killed myself but didn't because by intentionally prolonging my suffering I retain at least some small control over my fate.

in a way it's the exact opposite of cowardice. You're deliberately doing the one thing that all living creatures are innately wired to fear and avoid.

No, anon. it's not. Besides, Suicide takes a huge amount of courage. Do you think the suicidal have shed their fears up to their dying moments? No, they're just experienced so much pain that death looks preferable.

If it were a lot more people who regularly contemplate suicide would kill themselves

I highly recommend you watch at least all 3 of these lectures about suicide (on the playlist: #24, #25, #26). There are some other good ones leaning more towards philosophical stuff

No, killing yourself is facing down death head on, which is something most normalfags will probably never do before they are dead themselves.
To be fair, most people who kill themselves probably have less to lose and less to fear losing than those who do not, but the element of the unkown and death itself is something that normal people are terrified of, and you can't kill yourself without facing it unless you are stone cold and just do it without thinking about it somehow.
You can laugh and say it's just jumping off of something, or pulling a trigger, or finding some other method, but the real difficulty is in your head.

Both living and suicide take bravery. Killing yourself takes a lot of courage to do, to go against the self preservation instinct is not easy. Living and accepting prolonged suffering requires bravery,too.

the romans didn't think so, and the romans are always right.
