Poll: Does everybody wish they were not alive?

[Nazulu]

i know that feel OP, I am in the same boat, got a pretty good life by any standard, but i just don't want to be here, its not about the quality of life or anything like that, you just don't want to exist, its hard for other people to understand these feelings OP, all i am doing is going through the motions waiting for the day i finally die.

I don't understand at all, but I'm not going to preach, I know when I'm ignorant.

But, isn't there any thing you want to strive for? Find that perfect lady/man?

Or is it like that you see nothing special at all in life?

Or just something else entirely different I will never understand?

 

[tobi the good boy]

I'm never going to die. I'm far too interesting a character to even think about ending the show.

Fuck this poll. @ angry drunk lecture...

It's okay to feel this way. You are a special flower that needs to be cultivated in order to mature in the proper way. You are special, and you need to be told this every day in order to achieve proper life time happy sauce.

Or...

The amount of sand, that exists in the vaginas in these forums posters, sickens me.

You people need to to grow the fuck up, really fast, really hard. Otherwise, you are nothing more than a blight on the face of existence.

Seriously... I blame your parents. They obviously raised you wrong. If you are this weak, you need professional help.

Either way, continue thinking you're special and deserving of extra special attention.

@sarcasm?

lolz

Do the world a favor, stop acting like a spoiled brat, and start ACTING LIKE AN ADULT!

Otherwise, you can expect, and deserve, all the verbal abuse you get. It's a simple piece of logic.

Now... let us fuck animals and kill each other!!!

Huzzah!!!

............[small]Can I marry you?[/small] Even in your drunken rant you have made the most perfect post to sum up my feelings on this. Please, shut the fuck up with your whiny ass "I hate my life" bullshit unless your in serious danger of killing yourself.

Can I ask why you come into a thread that clearly IS "whiny ass", just to complain about it?

For fucks sake, better things to do with your life.

What, are you new?

The tone of the thread is "life is actually pretty good, but I still feel this anyway. That's dumb, right?". You'd think that given how evidently self-aware the OP was that nobody would take any joy in shitting over it. But there are plenty of people on this forum who only post to be snarky or to tell people off. You have to doubt that their own lives are badass and fulfilling, or they would very unlikely feel the need to log-on to an internet forum just to be a dick.

The OP was coming from a place of honesty, I suspect the people bashing him are just envoking a created persona that only exists on the internet. Just ignore the House wannabes and engage the people who are worth engaging.

For some reason this makes me think of something the George Carlin said

White people have no business playing the blues ever, at all, under any circumstances. Ever, ever, ever. What the fuck to white people have to be blue about? "Banana Republic ran out of khakis?
The espresso machine is jammed?
Hootie and the Blowfish are breaking up?

Life isn't that bad

 

[Sarah Frazier]

Only when my health starts going downhill, but then I see some doctors who do stuff to make the gut-wrenching pain go away for a while. Sometimes it only lasts for a month, sometimes a couple of years, but however long that Top Of The World feeling lasts is when I start noticing all the good things. It's also when I start noticing how the things I say and do can make other people feel better, so why deprive that speck of humanity of smiles and giggles by leaving?

 

[Fieldy409_v1legacy]

You want to die because of the annoyances and discomforts of your body?

That is a strange train of thought to me. I think that you need to go see a shrink and get evaluated. You might claim not to be suicidal but if your thinking like this with what you describe as a good life I hate to think what you might do to yourself if something really bad happened.

Its a forum and as such disscussion of all types should occur. I'd also like to point out he ASKED if we all wanted to be dead at the moment, and to me that seems like a whiny ass shit unless you are so highly depressed that you would actually would be better off dead.

Re-read what I said next time. I'm saying your being a whiny ass if your complaining about how terrible your life is when its way better then that of someone in a poverty area of a third world country then tell me that your life was worse in your nice little home.

Also took about a second to type both of these messages, yep, totally could have done something else in a second like blink or breath, which I did WHILE typing.

Honestly, I took the question at face value and as thus my statement only applies to those who truly hate their lives which are rather good in comparision to other places in the world.

I should state this more often but when you ask the question in the title and then tell us to either avoid or not bother with your story on it then most people, like myself, won't bother looking at your story and will answer your question.

The question in question is "Does everybody wish they were not alive?" and my answer to that is no, your a whiny ass and should realize what awesome shiz that life has to offer instead of focusing on the bad parts. The only time its acceptable to wish that you are dead is if something truly horrible happens to where your technically physically better off being dead.

sniperoo

Doesn't that feel way too general to you? I'm happy go lucky, I'm a special breed of vacuous moron that has no fore-though and I almost never judge myself. But, even to me, these assertions feel thoughtless.

 

[Marik2]

Spoiler: Let's compromise.

Ghost powers are best powers.
And feet are gross and they should be optional.

OP, if you feel that way, something's wrong. And it feels better to know what it is. Take care of your basic needs (food, water, sleep, exercise, etc) and go get some blood tests run to see if you have any deficiencies/disorders/imbalances.

I love that cartoon.

One of the best cartoons on Nickelodeon, and I am glad it got a proper ending.

Let's rephrase that:

"Middle class white people that George Carlin knows personally have no business playing the blues ever."

As a throwaway joke it's alright I guess. As an insightful observation it's as worthless as those sanctimonious pricks who throw around the phrase 'first world problems', like there's some scale of suffering and anything short of starving to death in a refugee camp doesn't count.

OT: No I don't wish I was dead, but I won't say I've never thought about it.

And your choosing to spend your time alive defending calling some poor melancholy fool a whiny emo because he's not some starving brat in south africa... because you are only entitled to feel sad/suicidal if you are poor. Is this part of that "Awesome shiz" that life has to offer?

For fucks sake, 1st world problems are still legitament problems. Take the starving kid out of africa, give him some McDonalds, his problems too will be existential questions like "Why are we here?"

 

[bobmus]

Fuck me, 32 votes for yes? That makes me depressed.
There's a hell of a lot to live for, and to casually wish you didn't have to seems crazy to me.

 

[Richardplex]

Neither really, I'm fairly indifferent to being alive.

 

[Zack Alklazaris]

You only get one life so if my life is going to be shit I'm going to enjoy every bit I can.
Luckily that usually isn't the case, life goes in waves of crap and glory. I hang on during the bad times and rape n pillage the hell out of the good times.

 

[Eamar]

Sometimes. I have (actual, professionally diagnosed, inb4 all the bullshit) depression, so it goes with the territory. I have highs and lows though, and right now I'm feeling pretty good. However, I have just come out of one of the worst lows of my life. Had I not sought help (and come back onto a high at the right time) I may well have done something stupid.

The thing to know is that you absolutely must DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. Wallowing in self-pity doesn't solve anything. Not trying to be harsh (well, maybe a little, but not in a mean way), but this shit doesn't go away on its own, at least not for very long. See a doctor, get counselling, try as many of the huge number of medically-approved therapies out there as you can, consider medication if you and your doctor both think that would help. And force yourself to live your life. Talk to your friends, your family, your neighbours. Pursue hobbies, keep up the exercise, look after yourself, do as much work as you can, even if it's only a tiny bit. I know these things can all seem impossible to someone who's depressed, I really do, but you have to keep trying.

And if there's nothing medically wrong with you, then I guess the second lot of advice still applies, though I have less sympathy.

Either way, you may not want to hear it (I know I didn't) but it's down to you and you alone to change yourself. Doing nothing is not an option.

 

[Lunar Templar]

dead? nope

could go for a few other changes though >.>

 

[Jonluw]

Mama ooOOOoooOOOO
I don't want to die
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all

OT: Occasionally. I'm mostly over that stuff though.
