Nature or nurture what is the main reason for your suicidality

[noname223]

Both is an easy answer. In most cases both is the reason. But what is the main cause. For me it was nurture. In my family there are not many people who ctb. My sister thinks life is so precious. The abuse in my childhood and the bullying were too much too cope. I could not handle the situation anymore andy my mind turned ill. I direct aggressions mostly towards myself. Moreover I developed this notion that life is completely unfair and the only way I can escape this pain is suicide. I don't want that a horrible life determines how I live. In theory I must have ended it years ago. However from the beginning I had this feeling that it is very difficult to finally do it.

Complete lack of nurture, nature has nothing whatsoever to do with my suicidality

i don't think people are suicidal by nature. it forms while growing up. life is unfair its a fact. many people including me wish they ended it long ago but it's not that easy

I think it's impossible to disentangle nature and nurture. That said, I don't think my contrarian personality would do me any favors in any life. I try to tell myself that some of the most admirable people in history were very much cantankerous and isolated individuals, but it doesn't help much. I don't hate myself as much as I hate my circumstances.

I was born with neurological conditions which caused me to struggle in life growing up, so I think nature could be a factor in me being suicidal. I would say nurture is the main reason as I became more suicidal over time and that was linked to life experiences. The more years I have been alive, the more tired of living I have ended up. Things like physical health problems I was not born with made me more suicidal.

Both, I think. I had a rough childhood and adolescence, with several events that really affected me and will continue to affect me for the rest of my life (nurture). But, my parents and extended sides of family struggle with mental illnesses, which probably plays a pair in my suicidality as those mental illnesses can be passed down (nature).

I am a total mistake of nature(biological flawed).
