Coming from someone who attempted Self Delete a few years ago, you're talking out of your ass. It isn't about "hope" or "giving up", committing Self Delete is an alternative to what would otherwise be an unfulfilled and hellish life. I felt that I had no real reason to exist so the logical and reasonable alternative was to merely not exist. It's a route of escape from something otherwise inescapable.
When one girl offs herself, you have to comprehend her situation; She finds no value in living anymore. Now, it's not an easy escape route like you might think, contemplate this: she literally had to conquer her fear of death and ignore her primal instinct to live in order to accomplish Self Delete. It's not easy, trust me, it's actually a lot of work, it's extremely difficult.
All the bold parts best describe just what I said - losing hope. No longer seeing what could come of your life. Sometimes no longer seeing what could come from the world. Giving up searching for a reason to live. Giving up upon pushing further through life. It's much more complicated than that, I know, I'm speaking from experience as well, but it mostly boils down to just that.
However my experience with Self Delete has changed my outlook on life. I find that people put too much value in it and people become way too emotionally attached to life itself, regardless of its quality. If someone doesn't want to live anymore, you shouldn't hop aboard and coax them out of it. That's selfish of you to disregard their wants and needs in order to satisfy yourself. Have them think about everything for an extended period of time and if they still feel the need to do a frontal lobotomy with a .357, then that is their decision entirely.
I mostly agree with this, so there isn't much to comment.
You cannot possibly comprehend how hellish your perception of the world has to be to want to kill yourself.
Once again, I'm speaking from experience. From others and from my own. I know that perspective. It's not a fun one.
Also, just on a side note - It's nice to see you made it out alright. It's not east living with such a heavy burden. But as you said, that which does not kill us only makes us stronger. c:
