This may sound stupid but....?!
Question: what is so wrong with wanting to die?
we never asked to be born into this world, so why are we always expected to enjoy it and want to live?

i dont think that wanting to die is wrong.
i think that if you are truly miserable in life and tried to make it better but couldn't then you should be able to leave this world. i believe that suicide isnt wrong as long as a lot of thought is put into the decision to commit it.
life is what you make it
We just have to live with it.
There is the want to do many things in the world sweetie, but there is alot to stick around for with a lifetime of things you've yet to experience. As hard as it may all seem sometimes, the good far out weight the bad. So why shouldn' you enjoy it?
Wanting to die normally indicates a very bad illness. PLease get help, things can better, even if it won't happen overnight.
Nothing. It's a value judgement from moral codes that people take for granted.
I guess the theory is that there's enough good in life that someone who wants to die today might have regretted the decision tomorrow.
I've looked back at a bunch of attempts and wished they'd succeeded. I've also been glad for days of my life and experience since.
I feel like I've got something left to do, now. But my next crisis? If we are just at that crisis point or just "ill" then that colours our thinking.
The gov't often cares because they invest so much in us in the hopes that we contribute to the economy. They don't care as much as the old, sick, dying.
I totally agree. No one asks "what right have you to make a life," only to take it. It hurts people, most of all the person who may - or may not - be themselves.
Mostly it's the religious crowd.
Hope it helps! Life's worth living - just sucks _most_ of the time.
i don't find it stupid at all, I'm actually pro suicide if the mood strikes but then again that only happens when I'm off my meds so i guess its not right. they treat you for thinking this way maybe you should take that into consideration. i liked your thought though it makes perfect sense to me. its not so much saying your suicidal but more of a question and that's it.
You really dont want to die you may think you do. But just as soon as a docter tells you have cancer or aids you will be crying like a baby.asking the Lord why is this happening to you,And he will say because you wanted to die so bad.
People think its so wrong to want to die because of all of those people out there who have their lives taken from them.
It is not normal to want to die and human life is considered so precious that its almost as if you are throwning a gift away. Your life also has alot of meaning to others and your demise will affect many people in a negative way so wanting to end it all can be considered very selfish.
I know exactly what you mean hun. There are times in life when things really hurt you or weigh you down and you feel like what is the point?? I have struggled timelessly with that question, what is the point of life? Well, all I can say is that I have found that the answer is different for everyone, it is a personal thing. Mine is love, life is about love. I can't find any other reason worth living for other than love. Love for your family and friends, for yourself. You have to love yourself to love others. Somebody loves you and that is priceless. Find a goal in life to pursue that helps, don't wander aimlessly through life staying in a rut. Explore the world and find new people. Love is the key :-)
It doesn't sound stupid. We're not always expected to enjoy life, but I admire people who try hard to make the most of it. I also know it's not always that easy to find the zest and motivation to feel happier when we're feeling crap. Two main problems with wanting to die and acting on the impulse: you won't be around to experience the good bits when they do come along, and you'll emotionally kill the loved ones you leave behind.
Hope you manage to find your zest for life this year, have a happy one.
so giving up is the option?
to me thats not human nature
one is constantly searching for greener pastures of happines?
its a good question to ask and i guess the answer is individual to each person ...from your bleak question ..i take it you are feeling depressed and at those moments it does feel that way .....i guess the reason why we all want to live is becasue its the nature we are born with and we have been fighting to stay alive since we were born and it just seems to go against nature to want anything else...but i guess when you are in that situation it does feel like why bother to live...maybe its becasue there are those moments in life when life is just sooo good that you wouldnt have wanted to miss them ...nothing in life is static and just becasue life is kicking you right now does not mean it will remain that way ..sometimes its about changing perspective..maybe you need to move from where you are and see the world in a different way and then maybe you will fell trully alive at that point .....i guess we are alive becasue so many would have liked to stay alive but were not able to hold on and their lives were either taken from themn or they had their lives cut short and i guess the world just feels you are being selfish to not apprecaite what you have that so many dont ......hope you feel better soon
The thing that is so wrong with wanting to die is that it's selfish.
I can understand if you have a long term incurable illness and you have suffered alot and will continue to suffer until death but if it's just a case of life not going your way I think it's a real cowardly thing to do.
My nephews dad killed himself before Christmas, my nephew is 8, and he clearly didn't have any regards for the people around him. He shot himself and his father had to find him. Nothing will ever take away his dads pain of seeing his son lying dead and nothing will ever take the pain away from my nephew who now has to grow up without his daddy praising his acheivements.
If you want to die then get help and spare a thought for the people who you would be leaving behind. They are the ones who will truly suffer if you were gone.
We are genetically programmed with a survival instinct which drives us to fight for our survival. However, extreme suffering mental or physical can I believe trigger an instinct to want to die. We are not physical programmed to suffer or tolerate suffering and our society doesn't condition us to cope positively with real suffering. Physical suffering no matter how you look at it will always be a negative experience. However, mental suffering can be reinterpreted. Drugs, hypnosis, counselling or life events can and do change the experience of mental suffering into something quite different, quite positive.
Why would you think you sound stupid? Are you feeling suicidal? Do you have family and friends around you? There is nothing more certain in life than death! You are quite right that none of us asked to be born, but that said we were so it's worth seeking some help / advice as to how to tackle these negative feelings you are experiencing at the moment. Life has a habit of having ups and downs and isn't a bowl of cherries all of the time - and accepting this is a start. Parhaps this is a phase you are going through and will pass eventually - in the meantime joy can be found in the simplest of ways and there is help out there which would help you to see this. Talk to someone, your GP, a family member, a friend, the samaritans, someone who will listen, this is a first important step. I truly hope you can find some enthusiasm for life soon. Take care and good luck xx
Well your mother went into a lot of effort to have you. It would be a shame to throw it back in her face.
because for some people, life is such a precious gift that they dont have much of.
its not fair for some people to be able to choose when they die, and others not. my friend died a year ago, just a few weeks after she turned 21. heart attack.
she had such a love for life. what right does a person have to take their own life?
you know..sometimes i also think of that...
...maybe it's because we have a purpose...
Wanting to die is known as feeling suicidal, which is bad ... It's not normal if you think it's normal then you yourself are not normal.
