After childhood whats the point?

[hihi2027]

Youre happy then you grow up and realize everything you were told as a child was a lie. All dreams go down the drain, what little friends you had drift off to newer pastures, parents get more disappointed by the day, your rejection of life increases day by day, year by year. Ive basically realized that we work our entire lives as dreams pass by, have off spring that dont even like you, then die. Im planning on ending it all this year. im so tired

I understand. I have never understood the point of life. Even if everything was working out fine in my life, I'd still kms

Because childhood is just childhood, and life is about evolving, so it's clear why you'd prefer death.

You got to be happy as a child? What a luxury! For many people it's the opposite, where adulthood & independence mean they finally get a chance at happiness & freedom from all the abuse they were forced to endure every day as children.

 

[never mind me]

I certainly would never again wish to be a child. The time from 10 to 16 was objectively the worst time of my life and even before it wasn't great (although not quite as bad and I also forgot a lot over the years and that really is a blessing). Regardless, the years immediately after moving out from my parents' house felt harder mentally (despite not being too bad objectively), because my hope that everything would be fine once I escape my parents was shattered.
