>>533396A couple reasons for me.
1. I obsess about being a "good person" since it's nice to know people find me useful.
2. I promised people I would stay alive and not kill myself. Honestly, this is the biggest reason. Forming an anti-suicide pact gives you a strong emotional reason.
3. It's against my religion even though I'm shit at following it. Also, my religion has softened its stance against suicide. That's in part because of modern mental illness causing suicide more often than ritually killing yourself to spite all things good.
4. I would cause more problems by killing myself than by doing what I should, and I'm a happy slave to PR.
5. I actually like people, probs because I want to be a good person, and making them sad makes me sad.
6. I like order, and I would cause disarray by killing myself.
7. Dogs are fun with their waggy tails, their love of exercise, and their eagerness to please. I have a dog and I like meeting dogs.
8. If you want to feel pleasure, eat your favorite food or your favorite dessert. If you want to feel strong, workout and push yourself near or to your limit. Strength lies in the mind where it powers the body.
If you want a meaningful life, live as if everything has meaning, and after doing a couple of actions that make life more meaningful, you'll feel like your life has more meaning.
