My Maslow's hierarchy of needs

[WhenTheyCry]

Actually I might have some resources, maybe shouldn't have crossed out that one. And of course, I'm an antinatalist so reproduction shouldn't be on the pyramid

 

[sserafim]

Here's mine. I have no need for these so-called "needs". They don't appeal to me

reproduction (I'm antinatalist and sex is gross)
Love and Belonging (I don't care about love or belonging)
friendship, intimacy, family, sense of connection (I don't want intimacy, family or sense of connection)

 

[JKFleck]

Oh we got another Antinatalist here, yeah parents are some of the most evil people in existence when they intentionally want to have kids especially when they treat them very badly

Some of these things methinks you don't understand that you do need them. As the species homo sapien, you are wired to want socialization. You are on this forum talking to other people and affirming that sense of connection and intimacy that comes with the topic of suicide. You are utilizing resources to talk to us. You desire recognition, which is why you're posting that image. It doesn't help anyone to know that information, so you posting it here is a desire for recognition. If you didn't have the need for personal security, you wouldn't care about what method of suicide you go by. You fear pain and doing it wrong which might leave you permanently disabled, which is why you are utilizing personal safety. You care about freedom because you desire that which our freedoms are being restricted [obtaining pentobarbital, for example, which would be the most painless death available and the one everyone desires]. You also have the desire to be able to kill yourself, which is a freedom in itself yet something that is attempted to be stopped/restricted from every angle possible. You desire strength, which is the ability to have the strength to kill yourself. Here's your actual triangle. You care about your health because you take medication for your mental disorders and you attempted to brush your teeth.

Oh, you misunderstand. I crossed out the parts where I felt like I didn't have. Socialization, I don't have any friends in real life. Connection and intimacy, I don't have a lover who I can confide in or interact with. Resources, I guess this forum does count as one. Recognition, in real life I'm a jobless title-less loser with no accomplishments. Personal security, I live in America, land of the mass shootings and police brutality. Freedom, which you have a point, I don't have the free choice to end my life painlessly with assistance from a professional. Strength, I believe that I've grown into a weak-willed person due to childhood trauma. Health, which you also got, I try not to let my teeth rot in the rare chance that I live to become old, but I live in America where our healthcare bankrupts us.

You're socializing on this forum. You have it. Socializing =/= real life friends. The intimacy of discussing suicide is something few people will experience. It's an intimate and heavy topic. You have it here. You connect with people on here through socializing about suicide. Intimacy =/= lover. Recognition =/= irl recognition. You have it here.

Personal security refers to your fears for yourself. You fear you will screw up a suicide that leaves you permanently disabled. That's why you have personal security. Also, puhlease. America is far less dangerous than most countries. I dare you to go to Mexico and live there for a month. Police brutality is FAR LESS in America than the majority of other countries. They are far less corrupt, too. Again, go to Mexico. Poland. African countries, Serbia, China, etc. Americans are far too eager to complain when they've not experienced the ravages of other countries and the suffering that goes on there.

Strength: You have the strength to consider suicide. It's a difficult choice that requires strength to do.

Yeah, America's healthcare system sucks [because of insurance, not because of the doctors themselves].

Why do you want/need intimacy?

 

[Malaria]

Why do you want/need intimacy?

Because my brain is wired that way. I wish it wasn't though.

 

[sserafim]

Because my brain is wired that way. I wish it wasn't though.

Ah okay

 

[Malaria]

Ah okay

Truth be told, I answered it in the sense of things I have/don't have rather than the stuff I want/need. If I answered like that, it'd look different.

 

[4am]

painted over the stuff i don't want. idk what personal security means, also what kind of property is intended here

 

[ijustwishtodie]

My pyramid wouldn't be a pyramid at all but rather a single triangle on top saying "death"

 

[Guy Smiley]

I have no need for these so-called "needs". They don't appeal to me

reproduction (I'm antinatalist and sex is gross)
Love and Belonging (I don't care about love or belonging)
friendship, intimacy, family, sense of connection (I don't want intimacy, family or sense of connection)

How do you know that sex is gross if you've never tried it? Also, one can be anti-reproduction/antinatalist and still have sex.

You really, truly don't want someone to love you? You really, truly don't want someone to be friends with? You really don't want someone to be intimate with?

Sex sounds good in theory (like porn and stuff), but it sounds disgusting to have in real life (even though I want to try it out of curiosity). Someone else's body part is literally entering yours. That's gross

I don't want someone to love me because I don't care about love and that kind of shit. I don't want someone to be intimate with

Welcome to the club. The vast majority of humans are wired that way

Hmm, yeah I guess someone's body part entering another person's is one little tidbit of sex that's kinda hard to get around. Certainly not impossible though. I think lesbians in particular seem to be able to make it work.

Didn't you want your crush to love you and be intimate with?

I wanted to hook up with him lol. I'm not into girls and don't want to have lesbian sex

 

[Guy Smiley]

Doesn't hooking up with someone mean being intimate with them, at least on a physical level?

No wonder we are all depressed we are only getting our physiological needs met
