Why do people commit suicide .Are they not afraid of death?

Question

What can be the reasons that they are not even afraid to finish their life .

Answer 1

I'm not afraid of death, everyone dies, I just dont see any reason to live its too painful, the only downside is that I think of all the people that I care about hurting because of what I did. but I'm at the point where I feel like I have to now think of me. It sounds selfish and it is but in a way its selfish as well to want someone to continue there pain so that you dont have to feel it yourself.

Answer 2

I think for someone to commit suicide they have lost all hope and they really don't know any other way to deal with their problems or with the stress in their life. Sometimes I think people don't really mean to do this, they just really want help. It's a fine line between reality and what's right or wrong. People who are so desperate in life think the answer is death, where they will no longer have any feelings or have to deal with pain.The devil plays tricks on your mind, at least thats what I think and he's more than happy for someone to die. IF you believe in Jesus Christ you're not afraid of death. I'm not sure what happens when people die in those circumstances , I just think it's very sad no one in that persons life cared enough to believe the person needed help, or they just didn't take them seriously. It's tragic

Answer 3

Some people find life overwhelming and unbearable, and they can't take the pain of living any longer. They're more afraid of living in pain than they are of death. Lots of things can cause depression so severe that it leads to suicide. Some commons ones are: Sexual/verbal/physical abuse as a child, the death of a dear family member or friend, divorce, chronic physical illness that affects the quality of one's life, and even the loss of a job. Suicide is a very desperate, violent act, and it makes me very sad to hear about it.

Answer 4

This is a rather difficult question to give an answer to.
Especially as the victim has passed on, and can't give a reason for their suicide.
Sociology will tell you that the person has lost their anchor, and floats out to sea.
Most people have a home, or someone to
go home to. If the victim has been deserted by society, then nothing motivates them to keep going until they die a natural death.
In other words, the victim has lost their survival instinct.

Answer 5

I've seen people who were just worn out, they had had enough, they were tired, the glass was empty, will power was gone. There was no light at the end of the tunnel. There are so many reasons for this mind set that we couldn't even begin to list them all. It's all very sad and painful.

Most people fear a painful death or a long drawn out period where they are incapable of caring for themselves. Loosing the senses, not even knowing your own family. They fear the embarrassment and humiliation of someone having to physically care for them. None of us want that. Death itself seems easy in comparison!

There are people who just get angry and try to end it all, a kind of pay back not to themselves but to others. I witnessed that once. It was very dramatic, but that what the effect they wanted it have on everyone. It is what I consider a bad death.

I have empathy for these people the families and friends who try to cure them or supply whatever they think these people are lacking or need to make life worthwhile and fail. They are the ones who ultimately suffer from this kind of death.

I try desperately not to judge when it comes to this kind of thing as we on the outside never have all the information. We just don't know how they truly feel or what the reasons are. I have to respect life, and I have to respect death. It is somewhere we are all going like it or not.

Answer 6

Each one has a different reason. Usually it's because things have got so bad and difficult to cope with they think the best thing for themselves and those around them would be to end their lives. I personally feel the way in which a person chooses to end their lives determines the mental state of a person. For eg. if someone is afraid to let go they may take an overdose of pills and gradually slip away. That is my view.

Answer 7

Maybe they think that they cannot really accomplish the job.

As far as a reason why, well we living people would never know because we have never felt as bad as the one who commited suicide to go ahead and committ suicide upon ourselves. Maybe they think they will get more attention dead than alive or maybe they are just so hurt that they see no other way out. I know a guy who killed himself and I was utterly SHOCKED!!! NEVER in a million years would I think he would do that!! Just let people know that they are worthy while they are here. You never know when you can save a life!!

Answer 8

An individual commits suicide only when the benefits of death out weigh that of life. This happens to the people who have faulted value system.If only it was driven hard in his mind that life is priceless, not withstanding the gravity of difficulties of life, nobody would ever commit suicide. The tolerance limit is also required to be enhanced.

Answer 9

people commit suicide due to frustration of their own life.. If persone is stubborn then he or she will think that it is better to die than living with a trouble because he or she think that if they do suicide then they don't need to stay in this world coz people didn't saw life after death.. In buddhism suicide is very big sin coz we get a precious human life with very difficult.
