In my own experience and having known several people to have committed Suicide I think I have had enough personal tragedy in my own life to call Suicide an absolute selfish act
Ask the kids and family left behind 😡
I disagree it’s a selfish act, it’s a desperate and sad act taken by someone whose mental health is absolutely ****ed.
It’s terrible for the families but it isn’t an action taken with selfish motives.
These things should be discussed with suicidal people not called selfish. It’s things like that, that make mental health worse.
Sorry you’ve had to go through all that, I honestly thought you were on a wind up. I wouldn’t make light of something serious like that. Sorry!
Apology accepted
Sorry to hear what you went through Sunnysideup but I'd also disagree it's selfish.
Selfishness is usually to profit personally from something.
To say its a selfish choice to commit suicide would be to say it's a choice, I'd argue that person feels he/she has no choice and often would also feel they are doing family and friends a favour by no longer being around.
I've had my share of dark thoughts but don't believe I've ever come even close to acting on them. I still had a choice and could still think rationally, people that commit suicide can't think that way.
They are the victim, nothing else, there is no selfishness in their actions.
This is heartbreaking. Remember watching it live

Video only available in the UK. Any expats seen a link that works outside?
Very powerful tribute, well presented by an obviously emotional Dan Walker.
Must admit to having a tear in my eye at the end. Well actually at a couple of times during the piece as well
Very moving tribute. We always highlight the need for men to talk on here and the importance of maintaining good mental health, which is great. The next thread then turns into a slanging contest between two people who need to be proved right and treat each other with complete distain, then others pile in and add to the abuse. This should be a place where people feel like they can share their views and have them treated with respect, at the moment it's far from that environment.
Let me ask you a question: in a thread that linked an emotional tribute to Gary Speed, do you think it was appropriate to boldly state that ‘suicide is the most selfish of acts’?
Do you think such a ridiculous comment should be either treated with respect or left unchallenged?
That's not the comment I was referring to mate. It's the more widespread bickering over completely pointless things that gets me.
I've no issue with comments being challenged, it's the way it's done at times that bothers me (and I've been guilty of it in the past, so not taking the moral high ground here)
Fair enough. However, to me and to others it seems, a comment which read: "regardless of who he was, suicide is the most selfish of acts!" in relation Gary Speed's death was crass, ignorant and needed challenging.
I was going to say it's incredible that people still think like this in 2021, but sadly I don't find it even remotely surprising.
It definitely needed challenging. I think it’s one if the more disrespectful things you could possibly say about someone who’s committed suicide.
I honestly thought he was on the wind up, probably made it worse and I just shouldn’t have said anything.
Really touching video from Dan Walker.
"Regardless of who he was, suicide is the most selfish of acts! You’re talking utter bollox. Suicide IS A SELFISH ACT! You really are an arsehole. Go feck yourself, I’m not interested in your opinion. I’m not looking for sympathy you TWAT. Go and **** yourself."
All of the above was posted by one individual in a thread that was supposed to be about a tribute to Gary Speed. But nobody's perfect, right?
I think you just need to stop now. Maybe show a smidgen of humility. It was a pretty unsavoury exchange, but the 2 involved sorted things out. I don't really understand why you feel the need to then put the boot in again. In the context of what he has shared I think it's really low for you to do that.
