Majority of people think suicide is egoistical but what if someone just couldn't hold the unbearable pain? I'd rather to do it than to suffer all my life with constant unbearable pain.
People might say ' I've been there,I understand your pain' but honestly they don't. If a friend of mine would try to suicide, I'd just ask them how are they going to do it and why are they going to do it. I'd ask if it really worth it and if their pain is strongly unbearable so they choose to do so. I would respect their choices.
Speaking about people who's associated with suicide person, they might feel that they 'lost' someone but I see it as the same thing when we lost material belongings. If you lost it, it's either will bring you to downfall or another awakening,
My position is in the gray part because I really think that it's okay to die when it's truly needed. However, I only support it under medical procedures and assistance just so it won't cause any further pain or failures.
Would you let someone suffering all their life? while you're pretending to understand them? isn't that egoistical too?

No it is not the truth. I have chronic pain for more than 5 years and it is not getting better.
Avoid being a dick and speak for everyone when you have no idea what others are going through.
I think it's absolutely clear that for some people in some conditions, pain would not only last them until their deaths, but would keep getting worse.
Finding silver linings is a separate issue and people's ability to do that and adapt to the pain differs and any generalization in that sense is bound to be fallacious.
That's a generalization that sounds poetic but I don't think it has been shown to always be the case. For some people the threshold does not adjust with time and the pain is not sharp enough to get you to pass out.
Our minds and bodies are not machines and don't always act according to the pattern you are describing and there are always things that could malfunction to prevent the mechanisms that you are describing from working the way you are describing.
Additionally, what good is passing out or sleeping if you are still in pain after you wake up. Even if the pain is not constant for some and they do get a breaks, it can still be unbearable to them.
