Pretty much everyone who WAS in my life is a pro-lifer.

Religious?

Religious?

Yes, some are religious. Others just think suicide is wrong and fill your head with the idea that, "it's only temporary, it'll get better, you'll see!". I was told this all through my teens, then my twenties, and even now in my late thirties.

Edit: My Aunt who is VERY religious (a born again), thinks I'm already destined for hell, and when I do die by my own hand...she'll really think I'm in hell.

Most people in the Midwest where I live are prolifers. Religious-pilled and terrified of going to hell

Isn't almost everyone outside the SS community 'pro-life' in the sense that suicidal feelings are widely believed to be 'temporary' and 'treatable'? I have yet to meet people in real life (even atheists and very supposedly 'forward thinking' people) who genuinely believe that a young or middle-aged adult with no pre-existing physical health issues should have the right to die. Maybe this is just my life, but I live in a 'progressive' bubble where bodily autonomy is valued/recognized in almost every other situation.

Oh yes. They are insufferable. Most if not all are either religious or say things to hide their guilt.

I do not really meet people, but I know of people who enjoy living who would very likely be pro life if they were asked for their opinion on a suicide related subject. Those who are not suicidal themselves will never be able to understand. I also think that many non suicidal people are against euthanasia as they selfishly would not want their family members to die, so they see it as being wrong for everyone. I think that I am glad that I am not around people much. People can be very frustrating and I cannot stand anything pro life.
