Top 10 Reasons to Commit Suicide

1:10 am Controversial

NOTE: Please try not to take these absolutely seriously as some may actually kill themselves and I do not want anyone to commit suicide over a list.

10. Realization
You realize you will die someday and you just want that day to come faster. Why wait impatiently day after day for it to come?

9. Poverty
Two variations of poverty can include groups of birth and new. Many people are born into poverty from all over the world and may not find life worth living without money. The other group may have had lots of money at one time and have since lost it. For example, many Americans lost their savings and wealth during the Great Depression, and as a result we saw people jumping from buildings, etc, killing themselves.

8. Humiliation
You were completely humiliated (preferably in public). Perhaps you were unfortunate enough to have you best friend or even your parents embarrass you utterly and you hold no contempt for them or their actions towards you.

7. Impotency
You feel that you are dumb and are not capable of improving. While many people encourage you and say that you can improve, you know in your heart that it is not possible, with a few people (that are usually mean) tell you the cold-hearted truth of your own stupidity.

6. Pain
You are in so much pain and cannot take it anymore. While pain is a broad category, I am referring to physical pain. For example a soldier that gets shot during a war or a person that has been in a car accident and has to eat through tubes for the rest of his days may not want to live that sort of life.

5. Loss of Faith
You’ve lost faith in life. Conceivably some significant event takes place and you no longer feel god is watching over you and loneliness fills the void.

4. Love loss
A long term relationship just ends and people lose the will to live. There have been stories of people crashing their cars and slitting their wrists after their ex dumps them. Also some people may consider never getting to experience love far worse, for example there are elderly people that go through life without anyone and end up dying alone.

3. World is undeserving
You feel that the world does not deserve your knowledge and wisdom. There have probably been moments where you were right and everyone else was wrong. You may also feel like saying to some people “Oh my God, a baby could have done that!” or “How could you not know that?”.

2. Depression
You feel severely depressed and the reason to kill yourself was probably decided upon by a combinations of the points listed above. Since depression is caused by various events, both personal and public, you may know that you are not the only person feeling this way, as millions of people suffer from depression every day.

1. Apathy
You just don’t care about anything anymore.

    I don’t think anyone ever killed themselves for humiliation or apathy without there being some other, more deep-rooted feeling first?

    99% of the suicidal cases I’ve known were due to sexual abuse/rape. I guess this would come under pain?

  2. James Lewitzke Says:

    Hi Suzie,
    While I don’t know anyone personally that killed themselves over apathy or humiliation, I’d figure those were probably the states of mind they had when they did it.

    I’d probably classify sexual abuse / rape as under pain too, and probably love loss, since most victims knew their attackers, and loved them in one form or another.
