At some point he might become numb to it but that would take some time.

Spoiler for episode 7:

In episode 7 for example he actually killed himself intentionally (can't remember another time) but it was due to the love and loyalty for his friends and wasn't really of selfish nature.

yeah episode 7 is where he suicide because that timeline is a dead end and he is determined to save Rem and fix the whole issues of misunderstanding.

I understand where people coming from with "kill yourself subaru" after that episode (hey the guy kill himself once, why not twice eh?) honestly if i was asked about this, i cant really give a correct answer, or something that i myself will believe what Subaru is actually thinking, other than he might not actually be sure about his return by death checkpoints, total number of continues and well dying hurts a lot.

Did nagatsuki tappei ever brush this issue in one of his Q n A ?
