Why would someone want a painful suicide when it can be painless?

Why would someone choose a very painful method to commit suicide when painless suicide method is accessible for that person?

Maybe they feel they deserve it. I do feel that anyone who insists they are fine with a painful method or would actively prefer it to a less painful one is in for a rude awakening.

Other than if a painless (I doubt any method is 100% painless) method was not available to someone, I have no idea why someone would opt for a method that would produce certain pain.

WHich two methods would they be? Maybe one is more feasible to do.

Some people are just wired wrong.

 

[etherealspring]

maybe some people hate themselves to a point where they feel that a painful death may seem fitting for them, i guess? im not really sure

 

[kvsvenky100]

Maybe they want it to be quick?

Painless method like inert gas or co poisoning are too complicated for me.

 

[Suicidal_manlet]

They probably think it's more guaranteed than painless ones

Some people may like to make a statement, political perhaps, maybe personal.

They want to make their death impactful on others perhaps, maybe they feel they deserve it due to guilt for an action(s) or emotions they have subjected others too.

Honestly could be a whole host of reasons. Some people also have higher pain thresholds so perhaps the pain isn't something they care about or at least aren't concerned enough to consider.

Really the only way to know is to ask the person themselves if they even want to tell.

I want it to be painful because I deserve to suffer . I'm evil, selfish, worthless, useless, lazy, burden, waste of space, defective etc.
CTB feels like being kind to myself since I won't suffer once it's done. I don't really deserve that kindness, so I will at least make sure I suffer as much as possible in final moments. So that I get at least some of the punishment I deserve.

Your response makes a lot of sense. Even though I will never have the courage, I often think about CTB in a horribly macabre way so that the whole world would feel my pain.

Some people think they "deserve" to suffer but imo nobody deserves to suffer in any case whether in life nor in death. Peaceful methods shall be available to anyone who has the wish to die.

for me personally i have a strong compulsion to cut myself all over my body in a horrible unsightly way. idk why, im just addicted to sh. so it feels like the most fitting way for me to go, mainly because i crave destroying myself

Usually those that think that badly of themselves, aren't actually that way. It's the ones that are all the things that you described, that are the real evil ones.

We all make poor choices, and sometimes even do bad things, but good people do bad things sometimes, it doesn't make you a bad person, it makes you HUMAN - just like evil people do good things - it doesn't mean they're now good, far from it, they do it for a reason.

Try not to be so hard on yourself. I know it's hard though

Most people don't have access to painless methods, this is a factor — I'm sure I'm not the first to say it.
