Can you see a future for yourself?

[OceanBlue]

Would be more of the same, I'd spend most of my time working and then find myself old.

It's SI, even very old people say they want to live longer, death never seems to be an acceptable option.

Hopefully, after a few decades they will allow assisted dying, so those who stay and survive might get access to a peaceful death.

 

[outrider567]

No

 

[JJMaynard97]

I can't , I over the woods now, no future for me

 

[Minipute]

Not really im super dumb and sick all the time

 

[dwindlingfirst]

I genuinely cannot see a true future for myself. I think about it all the time, but I can't see myself living it out. I didn't even expect to make it this far.

Do you guys see a genuine future for yourselves?

I don't, I can see things going well, but I'm reality they won't, and I'm just a burden to others or just an inconvenience/obstacle.

 

[looking_for_peace]

I will rely on my parents/the government until I die. no thanks

I'm 45 now. I genuinely don't want to get old. I cringe when I see old people depending on devices to function. I'd rather be dead than face to use an electric wheel chair or have to rely on tools to perform basic motor functions. I want to go out while I'm still strong and capable. What's the point of being old and frail? I don't want that

 

[never mind me]

I have a dream what I would like my future to be like (starting my own business and making it location independent, so I have enough time for travel and outdoorsy stuff). But I feel that my self-hatred won't allow me to do it.

 

[Mortalist]

To answer the question; yes, I can.
I am not ignorant to the reality that building up a life takes a lot of time and effort. You will have to do hard work to achieve your dreams. So in order for me to reach the future I would love to be in, I know what I have to do. Take chances, accept failures and go on until I make it. I have, actually, and applied to a job that would make this possible. But, depending on if I get hired or not, I have another plan in the making.

 

[Mäximum]

I have the goal to work at a big tec company like Google as a programmer. But I don't feel like that I can ever reach that goal. I'm just kinda dumb and I feel like everyone is ahead of me.

 

[Kundalini Guy]

Nope. The future is the whole reason am CTB'ing to begin with, I know that only suffering is ahead of me.

 

[unnormal9]

I don't know.
Is the future I see just a dream? I genuinely do not know the answer to this question.
For some of us, we don't get a say in this life. Life is like a box of chocolates; that box is empty.

 

[Sparx]

Nope. The future is the whole reason am CTB'ing to begin with, I know that only suffering is ahead of me.

Same here, I'm doing it to avoid future pain.

 

[sorrowful]

No, not for much longer. I cannot stand the thought of being made to live for years and years, to me that's extremely undesirable.

 

[NorthernMonkey]

Nope :(

 

[NambaSutra]

If I can't CTB I see homelessness even though I have money in the bank. Because I won't have what it takes mentally to fill out rental applications etc. And I'll probably die of starvation or street violence.

 

[rui]

Yes..and no. I can imagine all these joyous and lovely future scenarios in my head, but I can never imagine myself living them. I know I can't so I don't even try.
(part of me wishes I did)

 

[unsaiddes]

In an abstract way, yes. I can picture myself buying a house, moving up the corporate ladder or going back to school, finding the right person and even having kids. But it feels more like building a ridiculous fantastical story in my head, even though those are all mundane things. I can see a future for myself if I wasn't myself, if that makes sense.

 

[heavyeyes]

I see myself as dying by suicide in the near future. With every passing year I'm more and more convinced I'm not meant for this world.

Do you guys see a genuine future for yourselves?

Only under very specific circumstances, and even then, it won't be much of a future. Suicide will always be my way out, but the reasons and timing will be different dependng on where this hellish life takes me.
