Discussion Do you think about the things you'll miss out on after CTB?

[Trisolaris]

I won't miss out on anything. Nothing good is waiting for me.

 

[watchingthewheels]

Not a damn thing. I've seen all I've needed to see. Anything else at this point, for me, is just variations on a theme.

 

[BeansOfRequirement]

When I'm dead I can't feel like I'm missing out, so the only bad experience from it would be what I could now take out in advance, which I chose not to. Also anhedonia.

 

[inthemoonblue]

Well if this counts, I've thought a lot about the fact that people who ctb'd before 2020 never could have guessed what was to come lol.

 

[Toptock]

I think about it all the time, actually. I'm sure once i make that commitment I'll lose my capacity to care, but there's a book series Ive been following that finishes december of next year, i want to see the heroes succeed, but its not worth sticking around for and suffering over, especially if between now and then i may end up homeless or even more mentally drained than now. I'd rather hope something even better is waiting for me.

 

[BandAddict]

I'd miss whatever cool things my sibling might do, and things they'd write and create. I'd miss the things my mom might do in her career, and I'd miss the chance to comfort her when I'm gone.

For me, I'd miss out on any chance that things could get better, but I have my doubts there. Also, if I don't end up finishing my painting, then that'll be too bad. Any art or whatnot for that matter.

 

[Shades of Grey]

For the most part, no. Truthfully, there aren't really any things that I look forward to anymore. I don't have much in the way of interests, hobbies, or social connections anymore. There is nothing left that I am good at, nothing I have to offer, nothing left that I enjoy.

I am sad that I won't be able to be there for my mom to help out when she gets older. She doesn't have much left in the way of family, and my sibling isn't really geared towards the caretaker role. I don't want her to have to go alone. But I know that my being here in this state isn't good for her either. It's a no-win situation.

 

[TwoTenEightyEight]

I don't have much in the way of FOMO myself. I do have certain things I use to "drag myself out" with, such as games, junk food and drink. I plan to rid them anyway.

 

[win32]

No.

Missing out sucks because afterward, you reflect on what you missed out on, which can make you feel sad/regretful. If there is nothingness after death, or even if there's reincarnation or limbo or whatever other nonsense, you won't be able to reflect on the events that happen after your death, thus no future sadness or regret to worry about.

 

[Final Escape]

If you have things you look forward to (in any capacity) do you think about how you'll be missing out after CTB?
It's something I often over think. Like, I'm going to miss the release of this game, or that show is coming out soon, or I'll never have finished that thing.
Ultimately, if/when I CTB those things won't matter in the end, but right now when I teeter on the fence it's something I think about often.
Morbid FOMO I guess

Not at age 44. I'm pretty done. I'm exhausted by life at this point. I'm pretty much alone and nobody likes me anymore. I'm a outcast.

 

[Sensei]

If I would have been younger I certainly would have, but I'm a little bit too old for that. I've experienced what I could experience the way my life turned out. Chances are that only pain and humiliation await me now. I haven't given up hope completely, though.

 

[Clut]

I realise I'll miss out on certain things, but I feel it would be worth it to achieve eternal peace, plus I don't think dealing with the ongoing pain is worth sticking around for

 

[Some1's_Wasted_Fetus]

I wrote of things I'd miss versus wouldn't miss. The things I wouldn't miss far outweighed those that I would. That's when I knew CTBing was the only route to take

 

[Breakout92]

I'm waiting for the last important thing of my life, which is to see my little brother graduate college. Once that's over, the only other thing I'd be missing out on is more suffering. pass

 

[Trans Magus]

I know this sounds really dumb, but I used to think I couldn't die until I found out what was in the basement in Attack on Titan. Now I feel like there isn't too much to look forward to. Just a collapsing society in a dying earth.

 

[fred farkle]

Just today I was thinking,"I am going to miss rainy days."

 

[Sea Turtle]

I think about it, but also know that it won't matter in the end. It's weird

 

[deflationary]

Not at all tbh. That's the great thing about death, you won't REALLY miss out on anything. You won't be around to feel deprived of anything.

I pretty much just have a bunch of anxieties about the future and nothing I really look forward to, with the exception of death itself perhaps.

 

[ClairyFairy]

Nope never. If I start doing that I'm just creating a barrier between me and ctb. There's enough protective factors already without me purposely adding more

 

[stankboy421]

No.
There's lots of things I would like to do in an ideal world, if i was a different person, but I know my limitations well enough to know that they are not realistic. I have been depressed and suicidal for 20 years now, trying to "do" passions and hobbies but it's not happening. Tbh I would like to see the impending collapse of civilisation, but I've been waiting for over 10 years and I cbf anymore.

Besides when you are dead you don't have to worry about a single thing... that is the beauty of it.

Oh actually I tell a lie; i have a pile of old journals and diaries in my hometown which I want to destroy before I die so nobody reads them, but I will do that in a couple weeks when I visit my mama maybe for the last time. It's a huge relief tbh.

Can i say, though, If you have something which you are actually looking forward to then maybe stick around long enough to do it, if you can. Just speaking as someone who would LIKE to look forward to or enjoy something but simply doesn't. No huge rush to CTB.

Humans don't know what lies 'beyond'...

 

[booray]

There is nothing that I'm looking forward to. Every time I think about the future, all I feel is uncontrollable anxiety and panic. Thinking about suicide also causes me great anxiety, but I see it as the lesser of two evils.

 

[nolongerhuman]

Not really. If it's really important it's worth postponing for and if it's not worth postponing for it's not worth worrying about. I won't be around to miss it anyway.

 

[FreeAngel]

Yeah, but it still can't stop me.

 

[Rockman]

I dont have one thing to look forward. I had enough. Dont miss anything. Sweet relief.

 

[Conker]

Why would I miss having my memories forcefully erased before each incarnation?
Lol, unless a fucking galactic miracle happens my destiny has already been decided by me.

There's never going to be a perfect world, or any true happiness. So just count the bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the New World Order.

It's fucking hopeless, there's no war and no angels. Only devils and retarded demonically possessed robots who call themselves "human".

If you want to realize what and where you truly are then you should read "Alien interview" by Lawrence Spencer.
Things are far worse than your fake leaders would ever publically admit.

[Joey]

I'll miss out on gaming and future hardware but other than that, life moves on like for everything else.

 

[929er]

tbh i just think about what will be of my cats and what new music I'll miss from my favourite artists. anything else is whatever to me.

 

[killedbypsychiatry]

If I was my old healthy self I would, since I would actually have lots of stuff to miss out but now that I'm too sick and damaged I know all that awaits me is suffering. I actually feel I died the day I got sick and lost all ability to enjoy life. I've been feeling intense grief since then.

now all I could possibly loose is time with my twin who I love, but even when I'm with her I'm suffering.

 

[Lupgevif]

No. You can't miss out on things you aren't aware you are missing out on.
