Anyone else suicidal because they feel like the world doesn’t deserve them?

[sserafim]

I don't want to become just another slave to the system or cog in the capitalist wheel. Society and the world don't deserve me or my contribution. Why should *I* have to buy into the system? Why should *I* have to submit to modern day slavery? Why should *I* have to contribute? I don't owe society or anyone anything. I honestly feel like I'm too good for this world

our society is dependent on us to thrive, and I agree with you completely. I can't fathom living a life paying back the government for just existing, when I never asked to in the first place.

I refuse to be exploited by capitalism or society. I refuse to become a wageslave or worker bee. I'm not paying anything back to the government. Fuck society

I think it's sad that society quite often doesn't let us become who we could become if we were able to follow our talents and dreams and actually be able to make enough of a living doing that. I know plenty of immensely talented creative people who have been forced into wage slavery jobs they hate because this world doesn't care about their talents enough to pay for them. You have to be so lucky to be good at something that's actually valued in this world. Otherwise, likelihood is you'll be forced into a job and life that suits society.

We are all slaves prisoners of this evil world. And I see suicide as an escape and a middle finger to them , evil life , and this evil world. And as a rejection of their values and norms like "you have to fight to live" "have children" etc.

I actually feel the opposite - that I'm a burden on the world
I don't contribute anything of any value so I'm not worth anything

If you feel like a burden, it isn't your fault. You were born without your consent. Also, why do you want to contribute? You don't owe society or the world anything. Just like how they say the world doesn't owe you anything, the inverse is also true

That's true I was born without my consent but I suppose I just feel like I've been provided for in so many ways and given so little back. Like people made the laptop I'm using atm and they made the internet and someone grew the food I eat and transported it to the supermarket to make it easily accessible and someone made the house I live in and designed and created literally everything I use

 

[Sylveon]

In my case, it's kind of the opposite: I really don't deserve this world; my life should've gone to someone more deserving.

"OVERSOCIALIZATION

24. Psychologists use the term "socialization" to designate the process by which children are trained to think and act as society demands. A person is said to be well socialized if he believes in and obeys the moral code of his society and fits in well as a functioning part of that society. It may seem senseless to say that many leftists are oversocialized, since the leftist is perceived as a rebel. Nevertheless, the position can be defended. Many leftists are not such rebels as they seem.

25. The moral code of our society is so demanding that no one can think, feel and act in a completely moral way. For example, we are not supposed to hate anyone, yet almost everyone hates somebody at some time or other, whether he admits it to himself or not. Some people are so highly socialized that the attempt to think, feel and act morally imposes a severe burden on them. In order to avoid feelings of guilt, they continually have to deceive themselves about their own motives and find moral explanations for feelings and actions that in reality have a non-moral origin. We use the term "oversocialized" to describe such people. [2]

26. Oversocialization can lead to low self-esteem, a sense of powerlessness, defeatism, guilt, etc. One of the most important means by which our society socializes children is by making them feel ashamed of behavior or speech that is contrary to society's expectations. If this is overdone, or if a particular child is especially susceptible to such feelings, he ends by feeling ashamed of HIMSELF. Moreover the thought and the behavior of the oversocialized person are more restricted by society's expectations than are those of the lightly socialized person. The majority of people engage in a significant amount of naughty behavior. They lie, they commit petty thefts, they break traffic laws, they goof off at work, they hate someone, they say spiteful things or they use some underhanded trick to get ahead of the other guy. The oversocialized person cannot do these things, or if he does do them he generates in himself a sense of shame and self-hatred. The oversocialized person cannot even experience, without guilt, thoughts or feelings that are contrary to the accepted morality; he cannot think "unclean" thoughts. And socialization is not just a matter of morality; we are socialized to conform to many norms of behavior that do not fall under the heading of morality. Thus the oversocialized person is kept on a psychological leash and spends his life running on rails that society has laid down for him. In many oversocialized people this results in a sense of constraint and powerlessness that can be a severe hardship. We suggest that oversocialization is among the more serious cruelties that human beings inflict on one another."
