Personally I think not.
People who think that don't realize the pain and suffering people with clinical depression go through to stay alive for them.

If you’re feeling suicidal, it is your right, as a person, to control your body and end your life if you please. I think we need to put to bed the idea that suicide is selfish because it doesn’t help anybody and it only further stigmatizes the memory of the person that is gone, or their still-living family and friends so that grieving for them feels shameful. When somebody commits suicide, there’s a feeling or sense of imposed shame that comes when family and friends acknowledge it, like the deceased has done something terrible. The only thing different between a suicide and any other death is that the person committing suicide has picked the time and manner of their death, as opposed to you and I who will likely be struck by death unawares, or go through a long, painful, drawn out medical process leading to death.

When someone commits suicide, judging whether his act is selfish or not is the last thing I would do.

No.

No, wanting them to stay alive and be miserable for however long just because you don't want to miss someone is selfish

No, how is ending your own life selfish

The idea of suicide being selfish is that you are causing a lot of pain to everyone who knows and loves you, in order to make yourself feel better


I dont think it's v selfish though

IA completely.

By that logic all humans are naturally selfish, because we are all sad when a loved one passes on since they are no longer here for us to love. Though not to say its wrong or right.

I think it always depends. It is a bit selfish in certain ways to commit suicide in the event that there are people who love and care for you, and would do anything to make sure that you don't. Suicide is the very LAST option to take, especially when people are trying to help you. Life is literally the longest thing we can experience with people we love, and there are so many different paths to take in your life that could save you from doing such a thing.

If you are truly in an environment that makes you feel like that, leading you to do that then no, it isn't selfish. Its just how any human being would react to such a level of intense sadness and depression.

It's really a touchy and rather subjective subject but personally I don't believe so. One never truly really knows how someone is feeling therefore the amount of pain or turmoil they may be going through is extremely hard to gauge from a third-party perspective. So while I do believe suicide is a bit extreme, selfish, I think not.

Yes. It's selfish because it hurts the people you love.

Very

I don't think it is.

Flawless comment.

I think it is. But then again, some people who commit suicide supper from depression so I can't classify all sucides as selfish.

Yes and no.
Yes, it's selfish because of the people who cared for the person will forever doubt themselves and wonder if they could have helped them out any more than they have (or haven't).
No, it's not selfish because it's their life, at the end of the day. It's rather selfish to want someone I stay alive simply so you won't feel bad, while that person continues to struggle with their life with no end in sight.

It's a topsy turvy situation.

oh really? then what about your loved ones, who are left shattered by the events. family and friends who are left questioning themselves, wondering what they could've done to prevent it. what if your suicide triggers another one? a loved one who's left depressed because they couldn't save you and are left feeling guilty. its all a chain reaction. if you're feeling depressed or suicidal, SEEK HELP and fight not only for you but for those who truly care and appreciate you.
