If I may add to that, is there a difference between someone being told they are a burden and not wanting to live as a burden? It could be someone positively affirming they do not want to be a burden regardless of whether people in their lives perceive them as such. They two very different things. One is where someone is making a decision on the basis of something being a threat to their dignity and sense of who they are because they feel they are a burden and the other is someone feeling like they are a burden and that they would feel different.
