I’ve been thinking a lot lately about this topic as it’s relevant in my life at the moment. I understand preparations to make the actual act successful or peaceful but the note leaving / letter sending in the end seems like an emotionally charged way to possibly chicken out.

I have a lot I’d love to say to people but frankly if they don’t care now why should they care if I’m no longer living. It’s not like things could be fixed post departure of life so it really does feel a waste the more I think about it.

Thinking about if someone sent me a note I’d probably just feel bad.

I’d love to hear thoughts on the perspective of the writer and the receiver.
 
Don't be a fag and leave a note, do this instead:

Bonus points if instead of calling 911 you call someone who's obligated to love you.

It depends on the reason for suicide and other circumstances.

If I didn't have any real social contacts I wouldn't bother, if I did I would provide a basic reasoning and probably some form of instructions on how best to wrap things up from an administrative side.

I feel like an emotionally detached note for relevant finances and affairs would be what I’d leave in earnest.

Reasoning is sticky, so it’s one of those things where I feel writing what I may want to say to people is really self serving or an attempt to convince myself people would even care to hear my thoughts.

The more I think the more a cold structured approach would be what I would do.
 
You can make your will too, but if you’re killing yourself don’t. I tried but I was too fat and snapped the noose a few times.

It's what I would go with. Reasoning only if I had a sincere belief that anyone reading would care.

Minor powerlevel incoming:

Someone I grew up with ended up killing themselves, they did well in school, seemed happy enough - healthy, good social life, family, career prospects

Except for the fact that he was a pedophile, feeling stuck between a lifetime of loneliness and genuine inceldom or well, you know.. he decided to end it. This would be an example for me where I would leave a note, since there were plenty of people who genuinely cared and would've been left wondering: why?
 
How much attention do you require to not commit suicide? Do we have to make up for all the attention you feel you missed growing up or can we reach a compromise?
 
> an emotionally charged way to possibly chicken out.

Imo there's no 'chickening out' of suicide, you don't have to go through with it, nobody is forcing you. If you decide against it - good. Seek help to be able to deal with your life better 'afterwards'.

> I have a lot I’d love to say to people but frankly if they don’t care now why should they care if I’m no longer living.

If you genuinely think about ending yourself, imo, tell them everything you have to say.
Maybe you'll realize they do indeed care and it was just you not realizing they do.
Maybe you'll realize that that they actually don't care and it helps you 'move on' and realize that they're not important to you.

Honestly, the way you worded your post, it just sounds to me like other people are the cause that you want to kill yourself. And imo, they shouldn't be. I don't know what happened to you, or what's going on with you, neither am I a professional, of course; I'm just playing armchair psychologist here.
 
Reminder that if you're going to die, make it count by getting the biggest loan possible in every single bank you can find, buying Monero with it and giving it away to people and groups that would make good use of it.

Let the bank repo men find your smiling carcass.

Suicide note? Nah fam manifesto is the Parisian choice.

Yeah got to agree with big bootie bitchez, spend a couple of months writing and editing a manifesto. Maybe in a cabin located in some remote wilderness. Bonus points if you make Terry proud and take some glowies with you. Or you know don't kill yourself. We have to suffer and you can suffer with the rest of us.

Seconding this, the only person who can make you kill yourself is you. Best anyone else can do is make you want to. Don't give them the satisfaction.
 
Maybe you just need to get laid? I mean, that's what prevented a family friend from going through with it. During his planning phase, he managed to lose his virginity and idk why but that seemed to help "fix" whatever was going on and he straightened his life out.
 
I would definitly leave a note with passwords and logins to my Steam account and a couple of other things that I would like to give away to someone. Like a last will but since I own nothing significant, let it be a note lol.
 
I’m not going to say it’ll be all right because I don’t know your situation. I know the world is a pretty shitty place right now. All I can say is I’ve been feeling hopeless a lot lately too. Maybe see about getting medication.I wouldn’t suggest therapy because most therapists don’t know what it’s like to go through severe emotional pain. And I found in the past they haven’t helped much. Maybe reach out to some friends or join a support group.
