Depressing Realizations

[ToastiestZombie]

We've all had them, when some random moment you come to the realization that just makes you feel really, really bad. So this is the thread to share some of the ones you've had.

The other day I was browing the internet when out of nowhere I realized something. Since I'm only 14 years old then pretty much everything I hold dear right now will end, or die sometime in my lifetime. MLP:FiM, Adventure Time and The Walking Dead will all be cancelled. Most of the amazing game developers we have now will either die or leave the gaming business, so if gaming stays for long then it'll mean there won't be Kojima, Gabe N, Suda51 and Miyamoto in even 20 years time. Nintendo will probably go out of business, removing pretty much any connection gaming has to the old days. Damn... now I'm depressed.

Death in non-optional.

This manages to get me down, no matter what.

 

[Wintermoot]

one day everything I know will end
the lives of the people I hold dear and the communities I am part of.

 

[Esotera]

I have a 20% chance of being sectioned and an 80% chance of going crazy again.

Also, in 20 years kids will look back on the things we think are amazing now, and laugh like we do at ancient stuff like floppies.

Your fandom sucks son, accept it.

Applicable to any group of people. After a while you just get sick of things because of the people connected to them. Like TvTropes. Fucking idiots.

That one day people will find a way to prolong life indefinitely and I will be long dead and buried.

for me...ME3 extended cut isn't going to fix anything..and I don't want to go through that ending again

That I spent the last 12 years of my life being a washed up loser unable of making contact with other people, and that it isn't going to change soon if ever.

Plus, I'm basically stuck supporting my parents and if I leave they'll be forced to go to an old folks home, so yay for guilt.

Me and boyfriend were up at silly'o'clock the other day watching some `50 Greatest Music Videos` show, and we knew from the start that the No.1 would be `Thriller`. One day it wont be Thriller. And I will be sad.

Also, when my dad kicks the bucket I doubt I will know for a long time. If at all. This is less depressing cause I doubt he will be bucket kicking for a long time.

Ahh here's another one. The fact that I've taken art for GCSEs when really, I'm terrible at it. When you're on your own, sketching random stuff then your art seems amazing. But when I went into school and see that about 90% of girls can draw stuff better than I can I felt really depressed, knowing I'm probably going to end up doing some shit. It's only worsened by the fact that my brother was the best artist in A Level and GCSE art in my school, so I have a lot to live up to.

There was the time I realized not just on an intellectual level but with every fibre of my being that life itself, as things stand, is meaningless. I'm working to change that though.

There's also the times that I try to recall memories from my past, only to get them in a jumbled rush, some of them I can't even remember if they really happened, if they were dreams I had, or some mix of the two. Then I realize how malleable, non-linear, and easily injured time is through perception, how I can no longer say how I arrived at this present moment I'm existing in, and how I feel like an impotent onlooker, watching as my life rapidly passes me by - to the point that I feel like waking up at 90 years old tomorrow, or just feeling that way, is a plausible possibility.

Stay oblivious if you don't want to suffer existential crises, kids.

It bothers me that we have the technology and resources for everyone on this planet to be healthy, fed and sheltered, while creating a sustainable world for future generations but by and large our species is too self centred to do the things they need to do to make that happen, instead seeking personal gain alone, often to the detriment of others.

I'm not a nihilist by any stretch of the imagination, but I'm kind of glad I'll be dead long before the real problems our planets is going to have take effect.

The day I realised I had a micropenis.

Those times you realise that no matter how good a person you try to be, you are so small and insignificant that the non-option of death is comforting because you begin to want it all to end as soon as possible.

My friend linked me [a

I really don't give a shit about dying; it's going to happen, there's nothing we can do, I certainly don't want to, but it doesn't plague my mind like it seems to with the majority of the planet. But still, seeing that does rather but things into a somewhat depressing (but also humbling) sense of perspective.

Meh the real depressing realizations is that newly made media will degrade in quilty more and more (IE suck) because they always seek to widen their zombie..er...consumer base....
