Discussion Do you think you should have been born ?

[MeltingBrain]

Feel free to express why did you answer Yes, No or Unsure ?

 

[Torabol]

No, thinking about it is feels depressing

 

[cgrtt.brns]

no for many reasons, mainly bc my dad never wanted kids and my parents were just not cut out to be parents. also the fact that ive noticed theres so much mental illness that runs in both sides of my family, but no one has ever taken it seriously or bothered to treat it, so its just been passed down and it feels like everythings funneled into me and im a fucking mess because of it. not that its any of my family's fault, mental health has been a taboo topic for older generations for a while so its not surprising.
i wouldnt say im 100% antinatalist, but if ur not absolutely certain u want kids and dont know at least the basics of how to meet a childs physical and mental needs, u shouldnt have kids. i feel like that should be common sense, but apparently its not.
what about you?

 

[12_Years_Late]

I feel like that I have never had any meaning in my life and that the only reason I am alive is for me to end my life. So for that reason I do not believe that I should have been born.

 

[internetgirl]

everything surrounding my birth I hate. my mother was 19 and wanted a kid and family of her own because she was taken away by her bio parents and her adopted ones were abusive in other ways... hooked up with the first guy she could (ugly as fuck with addiction issues and a plethora of mental illness) and had me. then had 2 more. I hate everything I inherited from both of them, screw genes and screw what having kids at such a young age did to my mother.

 

[Suicidе]

Absolutely not. It would have been better for nothing to have ever existed in the first place.

I am sorry for what you have gone through .

I voted no, The worse my condition gets the more I think I shouldn't have been born .

Even medically speaking- no. The doctors said it would be a 'medical impossibility'. I don't have much faith in doctors...

That said- my parents and especially my Mum desperately wanted children. I suppose I'm glad she got her wish but she died 3 years later... Again it was down to a doctor misdiagnosing and then realising it was cancer too late... Life's shit.

 

[Livingvsdying25]

No, I've said it many times that the fact the my parents had me 5 yrs after my brother is just sooo stupid like why They were barly able to care for my brother... I was/am just a stupid accident

Also, my mom never wanted kids she just wanted an ideal life and my Dad is just passive. Soooo I never felt like my parents even wanted me. I wonder what it's like to be born from parents that have you on purpose and actually want/are excited that you exist. My mom hates me and my Dad is just... distant. The more I struggle the less I hear from him. So honestly... I wish I was never born.

 

[Anonymoususer1234]

My parents were absolutely not fit to have children. Neither me nor my siblings should have been born. Nobody is grateful I exist. Nobody is happy to see me when I walk in the room. I leech off everyone I meet. It would've been better if I was never born in the first place.

 

[The anhedonic one]

My evil malignant narcissistic Mother should have been run over by a bus when She was pregnant with me.
Why the fuck such a repulsive pile of human excrement such as her would want a kid anyway is utterly mystifying to me.

 

[FuneralCry]

Of course not, I didn't do anything to deserve the punishment of being forced to exist in this hellish reality, it's a terrible burden being given the ability to suffer so extremely. Only nothingness is acceptable to me, there should just be nothing instead, existence was the most tragic, horrific mistake in the first place.

 

[Praestat_Mori]

NO! I didn't ask for it but now I'm here and I have to deal with it.
