Do you wish you had never been born?

[Boller Bryant]

In short answer, yes absolutely. I wish to never been born. But, just like a verse in Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen "I don't wanna die I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all" describes my feeling best.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

In long answer, yes. I do wish to never been born. But I do want that my parents never gave birth to me instead I want them to give birth to another better kid than me. I believe it's their right as a married couples to reproduce, that's why I never condemn them giving birth to me. I'm just extremely disappointed and ashamed of myself, because my parents treat me great and with care and I couldn't repay their kindness in anyway instead I only give them regret and burden with my existence. Honestly, I want myself to be better. I don't care how much, I just want someone to see myself for what I am. I don't want to get stressed out because someone expect me to do something that myself even not expecting.

Yup.

 

[real person]

you can't wish having never been born if you aren't alive. the question doesn't make sense

 

[DEATH IS FREEDOM]

From the Stone Age to the year 0, the world´s population increased rather slowly due to high infant mortality. From the year 1900, the population explosion began which has never occured before. Too many children are born in poor countries. In the Western world, the population explosion is mostly due to increased life expectancy. But too many children are born anyway because the population is increasing all the time. Man reproduces like bacteria on an overpopulated planet. Yet some communities continue to pay child support and parental allowance. In the big cities, people are crammed into overcrowded houses and shops and there are queues for everything. Environmental degration increases as the population increases which leads to climate change. Overpopulation causes problems almost everywhere. 8 billion humans are too many humans on the Earth - and the population continues to increase without control. It is no wonder that people wish that they were never born or want to die in the hell of overpopulation.

Stop having kids want to normalize antinatalism, childfreedom and caring for already existing life. Stop having kids want a future where creating biological children is no longer an expectation, a norm, or something most people casually do without putting substantial thought and investigation into. Creating new humans should not be taken lightly. It could easily be the most impactful and regretful decision someone ever makes. Those who never exist cannot be deprived by their absence if one had not existed. Those who never exist cannot be deprived.

I'm a fan of Stop Having Kids and their movement that seeks to propagate antinatalist ideals; however, I feel that they could be going about it in a more efficacious manner. Some of their catchy slogans are rather antagonistic. I'd like to see a more empathic approach that meets natalists at the middle. A friendlier form of antinatalist advocacy.

 

[Lost in a Dream]

I definitely wish I had never been born. I've had good experiences at times when I felt glad to be here, but something always goes wrong and I end up wanting to die again anyway.

Not existing in the first place would've prevented this stupid cycle from happening. The good news is, I never had kids and never will. This is mostly because we still don't have a universal human right to die peacefully when we want and we probably won't until long after I'm dead.

Antinatalism is a philosophical view that is critical of reproduction - they consider coming into existence as bad. Reasons why antinatalists believe procreation is immoral: life entails inevitable suffering, death is inevitable, humans are born without their consent and to procreate is to gamle with another person´s suffering. There is an unconscionable amount of needless suffering, injustice and death in the world with birth serving as the catalyst for it all. The world would be better if humans disappeared. Humanity is meaningless.

A lot of humans wish they were never born. Many people live in meaningless suffering. The world does not need you to continue your bloodline genetics of family name. The last thing the world needs is another human. The Earth is already overpopulated.

STOP HAVING KIDS

yes i would never suffer. why did it have to happen to me?

 

[Irisse]

A hundred percent yes. Not only do I despise my life, but also no one gets anything out of my presence. I never asked to suffer. I never asked for my trauma. I can't wait for it all to be over.

 

[58Alice85]

but also no one gets anything out of my presence

I refuse to believe this honey

 

[ABadPerson]

Yes, quite simply just the act of born into this world had caused my family to go homeless and keep together an already abusive relationship to a point of no return; each day at home spent being blamed for all of her troubles and woes, crying and begging God to take me out even before I knew what suicide meant. I'm just a sinful parasite that latches onto people.

To not have existed would mean I wouldn't have to experience or think as there is no 'me' to do such thing.

 

[darksouls]

yes I wish I was never born

 

[ungodly]

literally every fucking day lmao

i feel like i'm past the point of recovery. literally every aspect of my life is tainted in some way due to shit i had no control over. i'm constantly being eaten alive by thoughts of wishing i had a better childhood, better brain, better genetics, but none of that would matter if i was never here to begin with. if i had never come into existence, nothing would be missing in the world, but just simply because i do i'm being forced to pick up the pieces. i'm literally being punished for existing.

even when i'm at my best, a part of me just wishes i never had to experience this in the first place. i'm constantly afraid that i'm going to drive the people around me away with my problems and i know that if i had never been born, i wouldn't have to worry about inflicting my problems onto the people i care about before or after death since i wouldn't be around to perceive anything.

its not like im gonna kill myself any time soon lol since i'm supposedly making progress in therapy and have at least several months worth of shit to manage before i could the chance to try again anyway, but the concept of just never existing at all has and (probably will always be) an open door in my head.

 

[TwistedNightmares]

Every single day I wish I wasn't born. I have only ever known suffering.
