"Why died I not from the womb?" reflects a deep sorrow and a wish that he had never experienced life.
"Give up the ghost" is an older way of saying "die" or "breathe one's last." In modern terms, Job is asking, "Why didn't I die right after being born?"
Exactly. The Hebrew there for "give up the ghost" is wə·'eḡ·wā' from root gava which means to expire, perish, die. The ancient Hebrews didn't really have a concept of an immaterial "soul" or ghost.

Maybe, I can't be entirely sure. If I was born with more mental strength probably it would've been fine. But at the same time I'm alive for no other reason than to just try to be happy and fulfill goals cuz yuh, that's what life is all about I think. Chasing goals cuz why not

Of course. My existence brought nothing but suffering to my parents. My mother told us (I have a sister) that she wishes we were never born, because then they would be so much happier with my father. I believe her.
I never felt good in my life and I never will, so... Yes.

Yes. I wonder if a different egg had been fertilised, would they have turned into a happier person? Someone who would have been a better fit for my family, not been such a disappointment, etc etc.

In these moments of intense suffering I do have that desire, but when I am better and well, then not.
I only hope in God for improvement and recovery, and also that you can improve
Greetings, I hope you are well

No, I'm glad I was born.
There was a period in my life that is worth all the bad things I've already gone through and have yet to go through.
I had a chance to be very happy. In many ways, I am to blame for missing it.

Yeah because what was the point in having kids in poverty and setting them up for failure and struggling in life. They're dead now. Mom died when I was 14, deadbeat dad died when I was 35. I've lived on my own since I was 18. Have encountered DV relationships with no escape due to poverty and no family to run to..and no there are no shelters unless you have minor children.

Very very pointless existences. This is why I consider people who have kids in poverty to be evil. People claim abortion is wrong. It's much better than the life I've had. Ever noticed the pro life people always have a good amount of money to their name.

Yes. To avoid this constant suffering. What is the point of this anyway? From the beginning to the end there is only pain. And other people live to the end of their days with hardship, but also happiness. But for me, there is only pain and emptiness, nothing else.
When the time comes I hope there will be no reincarnation or any kind of afterlife. I just want to cease to exist completely. I don't want to remember anything, I don't want to know anything.

Have always thought like this. Unfortunately, those who make the laws tend to have a pretty good life. They have money and a lot of resources which blind them from the fact that there are people out there that are suffering tremendously and genuinely do not wish to keep going. - If you won't legalize abortions at least legalize euthanasia and assisted suicide. Give people a way out. Please!

I absolutely do. I agree with antinatalists in that I think bringing life into this world is non-consentual, and just a gamble to see whether they will be born into a privileged life, and it will ultimately just bring suffering.
I wish I didn't feel guilted into having to keep living even if I didn't want to be here to begin with.

I wish I was never born.
My parents are 2 mentally unwell people (my dad is just not unstable enough to be institutionalized) and their wedding was a mistake, making a child with their 2 bad genetics and their financial situation was an error, pretty sure my mom bullied my father into having a child
In 26 years of existence i nearly never enjoyed life and for the most part I was angry at them for bringing me into this shit

I'm adopted and there are times I wish that my birth mother aborted me. I don't know why this is a recurring idea in my head, but it is. Has anyone else ever wish they were never born?
Wow can I ever relate. This might sound over the top since I am already in a bad mood....

I too am adopted and that whore most definitely should have had an abortion. I hate my birth mother, who is now dead, and she apparently hated me, too. Even though I never met her, I was with her for the 9 months I was in her and could feel her hate. I hunted down her boyfriend at the time (not my bio father) and he was kind enough to let me know that really was the case - she hated me. (I asked him for the truth - that was it - and was grateful he was honest even though it hurt.)

All that woman did was screw. All my biological father did was screw - I have 5 half siblings, one of which is 20 days older than me. That bitch should have kept her stinking damn legs shut, but since she could not, she should have scraped me the hell out of her diseased crotch. Worthless, useless, incompetent, disgusting, shitty, slutty woman. I have repeated screamed at the universe why didn't that fucking whore have an abortion.

So yes, I wish I had never been born.

I serve zero purpose to being here

And being here is a curse

being born with a disability is a curse

being born in a family that doesn't assimilate well into a cruel society

And it's more cruel to know that you've been born as a punching bag

And those kinds of humans don't deserve any kind of care and compassion

Yes and no at the most extreme sides at one hand I'm glad for the experience and some of the lessons and things I learned but also all the pain and torture I endured through all these years hearing the same words on repeat and going through everything that I wonder and think a lot that it would of been better if I would've never been born if I was never brought into this world. It sticks with me especially with how much my I've come to understand my mental health and everything else in life would it of been better if I would've of never been around never have existed to never of had to worry or go through all I did to not have to contemplate so heavily my existence. I also have peace in a way for everything in being able to know more about myself and the world and how I see and process things and even how sometimes absurd the world is. I never wanted to feel like I was just a mistake in this world born in the wrong time and wrong place to feel so lost in my own world and so in pain everyday maybe if I hadn't been around I never would've had to endure it and see the downfall of the person I always wanted to be.
