Yeah I get this. I was wondering why I never had a major urge to commit suicide or self harm. If I had to give an answer stubbornness would be my first guess or that I’m too cynical to believe that dying would even be an escape.
I have always had quite a survival instinct even being concerned as a kid when I was given a sparkler.
Honestly, I had already lost religion by the time that period of my life occurred. I remember my friend (who was also atheist) talking about suicide, and I found it so confusing. It’s not like there’s something better waiting on the other side, so what’s the point? Ruin the one chance at joy that you know for sure exists?
She grew up and out of it, thankfully. Though she then turned into an anti-vaxxer and stopped talking to me because of it. Oh well.

But strength would never have been in that list
