    Calling people who suffer from suicidal ideation or committed suicide selfish is exactly like calling kids with down syndrome idiots.

      No, it’s calling it as it is, selfish. Someone who takes their own life only cares about themselves. They don’t care about the impact it has on anyone else. That is pure selfishness. Get help, your mental health issues are curable.
