Discussion Anyone else postponing their suicide for things like movies, books, video games, etc?

[Flume]

At this point I don't care. A few years ago I remember wanting to watch Assassins Creed and Batman v Superman before leaving. But now I've learned that It'll always be something else to look forward too, movies/films/music whatever. If I kept that mindset I would never leave... and being here because of that is sure as hell not worth it.

 

[LonelyHopelessDude]

Yes, to be honest I don't think I'll ever set a day and time to ctb because knowing myself I won't stick to it. There are times I'm quite "happy" to trod along thru life, but I just know in my heart that it's most likely going to be a case of an impulsive suicide some day. But, who knows when.

Quite similar to me tbh.

I think if something as simple as a video game or movie is enough to make you want to live, then you probably have a lot more hope then you realize

I think we all still have a little bit of hope hidden somewhere in us.
And I think delaying CTB because of doing something you enjoy, worth it.

 

[BlueWidow]

I used to do that when I was younger, but now there's not really any of that stuff that interests me enough that I would postpone ctb for it.

 

[miseryh8scompany]

movies and american dad are basically the only things that keep my mind off ctb this past few months

 

[Time]

I have thought about postponing for Watchmen, the new season of Rick & Morty, new Christopher Nolan movie, among others. Things just happened to work out that I ended up having to keep pushing my ctb date back & fell into watching some of those things. But I don't think any of the media is enough to warrant me postponing.

Although I do still catch myself adding stuff to my imdb watchlist... SMH.

 

[Moonicide]

I used to be the same way and little things like that would keep me living, it still brought joy into my life, but at this point it doesn't even matter anymore.

 

[Mr2005]

No this is why I postponed sorting my problems out and now they can't be sorted out and an entire generation has passed me by. To say it was stupid was an understatement, it was suicide.

 

[Moon Flower]

I wanna play the new animal crossing

I don't know... it means you are capable of enjoying simple pleasures enough to postpone suicide. Does it mean life is still worth living? I don't know. I mean, the games and movies are not just a distraction but actually something you look forward to.

I can also enjoy many things in life, but then I'm not *sure* I want to die. If you hate yourself and will always be a failure (which becomes the more evident the older you get), should you keep on living because you have love and enjoyment in your life and are healthy? This is what I'm trying to figure out myself.

 

[1DayItWillBover]

not into books, really dont care about any of those super hero movies. Video games? Maybe a morrowind, skyrim type game could occupy my time but other than that. Nothing really interests me anymore

 

[mediocre]

I would like to play The Last of Us Part II and GTA 6 whenever it comes out. I'd love to get the PS5 in a year from now. I want to see the next Bond film No Time To Die and I'm not usually into superheroes but I want to see Wonder Woman 1984.

 

[heheb27595]

After next check.

 

[AnnonyBox]

There's one game in particular that I've thought about waiting for, but I suspect it will suffer from sequelitis and not meet my expectations.

which one?

 

[TimeToBiteTheDust]

I saw Black Widow trailer yesterday and I felt like posposing my ctb but I don't know if I can make it. Anyway it makes me feel like shit just for a movie while I don't do anything with my life..

 

[Mizzmini45]

Seems kinda stupid, but I feel like I could do it any time I wanted since i already made peace with the idea of CTB, but i'm also looking forward to watching some movies that i haven't seen and other stuff that is not out yet even if it means that i'm going to have to endure more of this life.

anyone else feels this way?

I did many times. Makeup, hair, Vegas trips, boys and men, making myself laughing, cute clothes , dream body, parties, video games, fast cars, junk food, late night movies, concerts, music, but after a while it runs it's course and your back where u started. It's just distractions for the enviable. I sorry for being negative I just did those things already. Have fun and enjoy yourself. I even had a bucket list I crossed off on random things I wanted to see and try abandon place, fall in love unselfishly with someone really special, random acts of kindness, sneak into my childhood camp, travel to 5 countries in Africa etc but yea It does keep u alive longer

 

[BobbyPellitt]

Yep. I constantly add things to my never-ending bucket list, but deep down I know I'm just delaying my bus.

 

[MarkDecal]

Game of Thrones and the Avengers were the last things i looked forward to, but definitely helped me have somethint to look forward to.

 

[BPD Barbie]

I set a date for mid January with my partner and I intend to stick to it. Someone bought me tickets for a darts match mid February, felt kinda awkward accepting it and in my head I was like 'take my urn along with you please' lol. There isn't really anything I'm looking forward to, I purposely didn't make plans past my date.

 

[xBrialesana]

Yes!! I know how silly it can sound in your head but it's not. For me, I stuck around to see Avengers Endgame and to see how the Skywalker Trilogy ends. (Mostly while I held onto and took care of my fur baby until he passed away this past week). Timing is right.

One thing I do hate is the thought of missing scientific achievments. Like.. I wanna see us go to Jupiter's moons. But oh well, doesn't matter anymore and I'm content.

Did the game of thrones ending make everything worse for you?

Just kidding just kidding

There isn't really anything I'm looking forward to, I purposely didn't make plans past my date.

When I first thought dec 31/jan 1st was going to be my day, I just told my mom I didn't need anything for Christmas., and didn't want anything special to eat during the holidays. I was so worried she'd catch on. I just told her last week something she could get me if she wanted. I still don't know what I'm eating tomorrow!

Now I just don't make any plans for anything next year (just in case, even though I have a target).


But for like postpone for games/movies/books? nope. Not like I'd miss it when I'm dead.

That said though, if I could live forever, outside this plane of existence, and jump through time, sign me up for that lol (technically people would call that an angel? lol). I'd just love to see space, and other star systems. But honestly I'd be dead no matter how I look at it before that's a reality, if ever, and even if it would happen in my "lifetime if not ending early", I'd be too old to be allowed to, or too poor to pay for it.

It actually was a huge let down! At least it was a good ride through season 6

 

[Kvotheloner]

Hoping I get The Doors of Stone to wrap up all my KingKiller wonder before I go. Reading The Gentlemen Bastards trilogy and some more Murakami in the meantime.

 

[ChristopherWalken]

I've been watching Star Trek reruns nonstop since the middle of the summer so I'm looking forward to the new Picard series. Also the Dune remake is coming out in 2020 and it's supposed to be awesome. I don't think either will come out before I have to ctb though. At least I got to see some of Rick and Morty Season 4.

GoT probably helped lots of people to CTB, godawfull final...

 

[voyager]

Nothing wrong with it in my mind, enjoy it while you can. Wouldn't call it hope, though, more of a distraction. A great way of keeping sane and sleeping well at night. Gaming helped me a lot through the decades. I've spent years in front of the screen and I don't regret any of it. Once one comes to the realisation that one's life is forfeit, one might as well make the most of what is left.

Movies and series are fine, too, but have become quite bland. Books otoh are tricky, for me at least. I have serious problems following them nowadays. I might forget what I read on the page before. It's pathetic. I remember reading Enid Blyton as a kid, drifting off for a few seconds and the story materialising in my dream. Well, that's long gone. Anyway, I had a good time, but can't really get excited about the new stuff anymore and wouldn't postpone because of it.
