Literally no one can stop you from killing yourself. You don't require approval from anyone. I'm not sure why this makes you so angry.

I tell people not to kill themselves because I am a former suicidal person who doesn't want people to make a choice they cannot undo, not because I want anything from them. If you're totally sold, it's trivially easy to end your own life.

I'll disagree with you, sure, but that's rather a moot point.
