Poll: Does everybody wish they were not alive?

[Aprilgold]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

 

[FatalFox]

NOPE
I'm an optimist when it comes to life, you always rise above your problems, or try your best to, I've met a lot of people who are down on life, and I pity them, I don't see the point of just being sad and in pain and miserable about living, when there is so much to enjoy.
I see a lot of people on the internet who are just sad and angry all the time, at random things,at home, at life, I think it may be because internet is a way of escaping that.

either way, I love life, we all get our downtimes, depressions and whatnot when bad things happen to us or the ones we love, I still haven't gotten over my deceased dog whom I loved more than most things, but I try my best to push through, and when you see past the hate, wars, murders, drug abuse, family issues that resides in the world today, it's the most beautiful thing.

I'm probably sounding like I'm a hippie or just stoned or something but I truly feel this way about all life in general, just live your life and appreciate the great things and you'll do fine.

if you're talking about being a zombie, then I can understand, lol

[MelasZepheos_v1legacy]

Hard one to answer. When I have depressive episodes (bipolar for the win) I can sometimes be literally suicidal. However, when I have a manic period (see above parenthesis) I can feel like the most awesome human being on the planet, so why should I die?

Most of the time I try and stay positive, because part of being depressive is knowing that you can think yourself sad really easily. Focusing on something depressing can utterly crash you if you let it, so I don't let it.

 

[|Sith|Eldarion]

I can't say that the thought hasn't crossed my mind from time to time, particularly this year with the particularly nasty bugs I've gotten. Hell, a few years ago, I would've voted yes. But death is a void. Whatever it is for you, it's different from life as we know it. And whether I ended up in heaven, hell, elysium, or nothingness, I would regret not seeing what this life has to offer. And regret is something I don't want when I'm dead and gone.

 

[Leadfinger]

I like life. I like my life. I've worked hard to make sure aspects of my life have worked out a certain way, and I've had a fair bit of success. There have been times where I've cursed my luck, but I've never experienced real tragedy in my life, so I'm pretty lucky. Certainly, making love to a beautiful woman, having a great conversation, eating a delicious meal, being trusted and respected by someone you love, all these things are infinitely better than death. Better to enjoy them while you can.

 

[DugMachine]

That feel OP. I would just call it boredom. Back when I was going to college and living with my parents I just felt like a drone. Just going about my daily grind of work, school, girlfriend, videogames. But then I moved out, got a new job and a new girlfriend and don't feel like that anymore.

I'm sure i'll get the feeling again within a year or two but that's just life to me. You get bored and you move on.

 

[Aprilgold]

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?

So fuck me for wanting conversation? Even if arguements, conversation change ideas to be more rounded and awesome for the public.

Also, ain't my problem your essentially calling me a prick, in that type of system I would normally call you a prick for assuming I'm a prick, but here I'd rather just explain that the message was not meant towards the OP himself, but to those super-whiny-emo kids you may have met before. If you don't know what I'm talking about, its the type of kids that say they slice their wrists but they don't and their only saying so to be cool in the crowd.

And honestly, is the whole message of "Shut up and notice how awesome the world is" that bad? That was the message since I wrote the first post.

Maybe if you read a bit down you understand more about it, but past this I'm not bothering with you. Mainly because my whole point was to enjoy each and every moment of life because death sucks but you thought I'm a prick for the past two posts and writing a bloody post takes more then a minute with several paragraphs. Oh dear, the four minutes I've wasted typing, or FML me bro./sarcasm Honestly dude, First World Problems isn't here because I'm not having a problem since discussion, no matter how shitty it is, is not a problem.

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.

Mainly its because I've been there and I hate to see people acting like they have some terrible life when they should focus on the positives of life. If anything all of this is directed to my past self in case the inception happens and I want to tell him something.

Vocally all of this is going to people who are saying their suicidal to get attention, while mentally its more to my past self who did exactly what I dislike.

And honestly, is the whole message of "Shut up and notice how awesome the world is" that bad? That was the message since I wrote the first post.

Just think I was born to do something that I know will never happen. Of course I am talking about any job that might come straight out of the movies. Even though it sounds messed up, I could be a Hitman. Little goofy to think about, I don't attach feelings to people I don't know. Literally as I have gotten older, I have hated people more and more. After all, society gives you plenty of ammo to hate. Course you have those bullshitters you try to tell you to be happy and there is a reason for that. Of course they want you to be happy because they are happy. You see happiness is like a virus, people want you to catch what they got. Nobody is willing to fork over everything that makes them happy because then they would be sad like you. Then there are the doushbags that see a depression thread and want to call you emo, to which I think, why are you still alive.

Yeah, I've had that thought myself, too. I really don't care that much about people I don't know or have any attachment to. If someone paid me $50,000 to kill somebody in the next state with no paper/internet trail, it seems feasible. I'd never ever kill anybody because he/she "wronged" me, made me mad, or if I thought they were a bad person. I'm not selfish enough to feel entitled to murder somebody for personal reasons and I genuinely don't buy into the concept of "bad people." Not only that, but if you kill someone you know and have a motive to kill, it's a higher probability that you'll get caught and spend life in prison. And most likely, unlike the average hitman, we don't have criminal records that would be able to identify us at the scene via either fingerprints or DNA.

Of course, we've now implicated ourselves in public as possible candidates to be hitmen, so I think we've immediately disqualified ourselves as solid candidates for employment. So no killing people for me. I'll pass. Seems risky anyways - not as easy as the Dark Brotherhood makes it look.
