Discussion Anyone else just wants to stop being human?

[almaenpena00]

wish I could be another species, this one is the most destructive one

 

[meetapple]

Perhaps being a turtle would be nice as they have long and simple lives.

 

[motel rooms]

long and simple lives.

 

[ILoveCookieCrisp]

I feel like the best outcome for any life is just the absence of it. I don't see why you would want to live a better life as another species instead of not living one at all

 

[FuneralCry]

Yes, I dislike being human. I would rather just not exist at all and be nothing. I was perfectly fine not existing until I was forced to live. There is unlimited potential for suffering in this life. Existing is a nightmare.

 

[sadbadpsychogirl]

according to others, i am not human because i don't feel the same emotions the same way they do... they think i don't have feelings period. well i do they are just mostly negative ones

 

[hʚll]

i want to be nothingness. nothingness doesn't hurt anyone

I've been told that I am 'not human'. I am, but this comes from people who only have humanity's application in this world, as a reference point, or rather, for whom this world's application is all there is, and so they can't apply it any other way. People, essentially, mistaking humanity for its application in this world, and me not sharing the same groundwork, and frame of reference (what shapes how I can understand and apply things) as they do, makes me 'not human', to them. It's sad, but understandable, in a cut-off world like ours.

I sometimes wish I could be a different species, but something superior to humans that doesnt exist. Like an 8 foot tall, bullet proofed skin, 200 iq, winged humanoid. And I would live in an isolated temple with my lover and friends, only visiting civilization in order to waltz into restaurants or grocery stores to openly steal food. People would come to accept that they can't do anything about it.

I think being an orca would be nice but not with the incoming ocean apocalypse.

Overall I would prefer being dead.

 

[stygal]

Yes, I much rather would like to have my brain transferred into a robot or other device for a couple of years to still be able to communicate but not suffer from pain or hormonal imbalances of any sort. And if I got bored I would just turn myself off.

 

[Lauralyn]

As much as I try I have a really bad sense of right and wrong as a person so sure.

 

[All-Dead-Y]

Yeah. If I wasn't human, I probably would be too focused on things like food or sleeping or breeding to be depressed.

Being a monkey seems cool. Like a jungle monkey, not a spoiled zoo monkey. Hopefully that would be a simple life.

If not a monkey, maybe a fly? Or a bee?

 

[fox_wannabe]

Oh yeah. Much rather be a fox, but better yet would be to not exist at all.

 

[Anxieyote]

I want to be a domesticated pet taken care of by a loving family. I think that the best outcome for a creature's life is being born as a puppy or kitten, adopted by a loving family (preferably rich, so they can afford the nicest pet food), and get lucky enough to have little to no health-related issues or traumatic experiences throughout their existence. I think these animals may have a chance at enjoying the vast majority of their lives.

They are one of the few creatures I can think of who might say, "My existence was pleasant, and I wish it didn't have to end." as they are on their death bed.

i want to sleep forever!

 

[OnlyTheWind]

EBE.

 

[mystique]

I hate being human. I wish I were a cat because they're cute and everybody loves them. Besides the average lifespan of a cat is only 15 years.

 

[moths]

hell yeah. i wanna be a cat. or a moth. hence my username and pfp. but it would also be cool to be a reptile of some kind, or a dog or. hmmm maybe a sea slug or something like that. or a tree. id love to be a tree

 

[Bluescreen]

Do you think that other Species are much better? I don't. The best, of course, is not to be at all. But I have to be and being a human is preferable to many other Species, at least I didn't want to be another animal.
Yeah, I don't give a fuck on global warming, Growing deserts asf. I just want a comfortable life and if this means Extinction for other species, well, just let them go extinct. Earth is not mine. Do you care about your nighbours house?

 

[clown_17]

I haven't felt like a person since the day I was born

 

[mentalhealthfighter]

I'd like to be a koala, they sleep 22 hours a day.

 

[Anxieyote]

Oh yeah. Much rather be a fox, but better yet would be to not exist at all.

Do you think a fox enjoys the experience of being a fox as much as humans idealize what being a fox is like?

I like wolves, but when I think about their lives, they are just as likely to end up in painful and horrible situations as we are. They could get mortally-wounded by another animal and left to die. They could get a disease, then suffer and die.

I was also reading about "lone wolves" who get exiled from the pack, and if they don't find a companion or new pack within a few days, they usually die on their own pretty quickly.

And do all wolves get mates? What about the incel wolves? I'm not sure if they are enjoying their lives.

 

[Mr2005]

Plenty of monsters already have.

Omg chill.. I was joking

Interestingly enough, I've been getting into watching gore videos again. The fucking vile things humans are capable of. It's not the actual acts themselves, partially at least. But the lengths that someone will go to ensure certain psychological harm in addition to physical harm. Talk about fucking sickening. It's made me afraid to walk around. Thousands of years, all over the world, people that populate the planet with you and I, are capable and willing to do unspeakable acts. Killing children, torturing animals, destroying lives and laugh about it in the process. And the worse part, death is something we all have to endure. Hopefully not by cruel murderers, terrorists, drunk drivers. They even killed that one guy, Jesus of Nazareth! Pretty gruesomely, lest we forget. Kinda makes what Jim Jones said a partial reality, if we can't live in peace let us die in peace.

To be fair, i'm quite ashamed of being humain. It's actually one of my reasons to CTB, how awful the world is. How purchasing anything at a low price is in exchange in torturing for a whole life animals or people. Knowing that even wool from coats is a cause of animal harm.
Being an eagle would be cool though, you could fly all day so no one bothers you.

 

[TheHatedOne]

I absolutely despise being a human because of the human body and brain that ensure you experience some kind of pain non stop and the instincts (self conservation, wanting to belong etc.) Lastly being part of the species that hate me and bully me is no fun lol.

 

[Makko]

Stop being human. Start being hotdog.

[Dr Iron Arc]

I don't because almost any other species would just be a victim of humanity's destruction except for the lowly parasites that roam this earth such as mosquitoes and fleas. I guess being a spoiled house pet isn't such a bad thing though but not every animal should be so lucky.
