I mean, yes, in general every person is speaking for themselves. In this case I'm just reporting what people with suicidal ideation and survivors of suicide attempts report in therapy.

I joke, in bad taste. You are right, though The facts are clear. Most people who are suicidal are just looking for a way to stop some type of suffering.

Having said that, I do think it’s important to recognize that this does not apply to all “suicides.” An old person who wants to end their life, because they feel that they’ve lived a full life is technically suicidal. They deserve the right to end their life.

In my understanding they want to kill a part of them. The part that makes them suffer.

Throw a suicidal person into the ocean and they'll still tread water
