>Suicide causes long-term emotional pain for your family and friends.

I have been in long-term emotional pain, and likely will be for the rest of my life. Yes, I do not want to cause others to feel pain - but why should I continue to deal with crushing pain just to spare others from pain that will likely pass?

>Do you want people who don't know you and know hardly anything about your pain to engage in discussion with you?

I don't see how that makes a difference.

When I do speak to people in my life, it's not like it's helpful in any way. They just seem worried and concerned. That's touching, sure, but does not actually help.

If anything, people often say to speak to a therapist - someone who doesn't know you.

>I don't want you or anyone to commit suicide

Why?
