Why do people think committing suicide is selfish?

Because you aren't thinking of those who are around you. You aren't considering how it could affect your friends or family. You only care about ending your own pain, you don't consider the pain you'll cause others.

It depends upon persons situations, and it is not always selfish. As people at times do it for the good being of their loved ones. Yes, most of the times loved ones are the one who suffer because of this.

I personally do not think it's selfish, but for those people who do, I can understand where they're coming from. They think that the person who killed themself knew that they would be affecting the lives of everyone around them, and they would be causing pain to other people, but since they did it anyways, that makes them selfish. I don't necessarily agree with this, but that is pretty much where they're coming from. I can understand their point of view, however I think it is more a feeling of not being in control of your life.

Because of the whole family and friends things but they don't seem to realise that we do think of them but this is still the best option. People who think it is selfish are selfish themselves as they think "Oh how could they do this to me" thinking of themselves, they have obviously not been depressed themselves and have no idea how hard it is. It stops you being able to do anything and then everyone hates you anyway.

They think about that because they have a lot of problems or they are not satisfied or their own life.

I don't think it is selfish. Who knows the reason why they did it. Then it is only the ones who are left behind and thinking of themselves who are selfish

I dont call then selfish because they dont get anything for themselfs if they commit sucide.Rather,i would call them BRAVE.See it takes lots of GUTS to commit sucide and not selfishness.
