Does anyone else feel like their life is tragic?

[Dr Iron Arc]

I think of my life more as a comedy except all the jokes are at my expense. Nothing too tragic has happened to me unless you count all the heartbreaks I've received but it's not like heartbreak matters for someone as selfish and evil as I.

 

[Milka]

I would say that yes, my life is tragic, but many circumstances were beyond my control.
Although my vulnerability and sensitivity often led me to make bad decisions and actions, but could I have changed those qualities and become a stronger person? Honestly, I'm not sure.
I think that's just the way my brain works.

 

[rotciv]

Problems are constantly appearing, due to bad luck or our ignorance, some are manageable, others are not. When they are not, it can be considered a tragic life

 

[grahf]

I think my life is a joke

 

[Tears in Rain]

Life is probably a tragicomedy (tragedy & comedy) for everyone.

It's a dark comedy, because no matter how successful or happy anyone considers themselves, noone lives 'happily ever after'. Everyone dies, and if you live long enough you're gonna experience loss and negative health issues.

It's also a tragedy, but noone lives 'unhappily ever after' either, so as tragic as your life may be, it's not gonna be a tragedy for eternity, the tragedy will end when you die.

Just the fact that I've failed in life when I used to be successful, and was projected to be a high achiever and do "great things"

'Successful' is in the eye of the beholder.
Look at @ForgottenAgain's previous post about success. Society's view of success does not necessarily mean your life is a success.

My life is a tragedy due to my own mind. I started as a mediocre student and was able to rise and get success but my mental state was just getting worse due to deaths around me and loneliness.

Now I'm successful with a good job, nice house and my boyfriend who is my life but my brain is failing me. I can't feel as happy as I should with what I have, I live with crumbs of happiness and 5 course meals of deep sadness.

 

[Namarupa]

If it happens to be a tragedy, I'm definitely not playing the part of Odysseus, Siegfried or Tristan. Probably just a random buffoon.

 

[melancholia_melodia]

It is tragic that I even breathe

 

[Christopher Reeve]

Before, I listened to an Apati song, and I kept thinking about those words at the end of the song, today I realize that it's a reality, for me, I've had this depressive state since childhood, no matter how much medication and therapy I've had, none of this has improved, I'm starting to believe that I am an exemplary biological determinism, cursed by my own genes.
the words I'm referring to are these

 

[Apathy79]

I think if people looked at my life circumstances, they would say the same about me. High paying job, university education, engaged to be married, loving family, healthy, all the usual signs people look for were present. Then not long after a hermit, completely detached from the world, often not speaking to a single other human for 12 months at a time. Barely scraping by financially. It looks like a tragedy. But I chose all of that. And I certainly wouldn't trade back.

Sidenote: I only ever heard the term hikki on here. I always described myself as a hermit. But I think it's the same thing?

 

[iloverachel]

I wouldn't even call what I'm experiencing life
I just lay down in bed and suffer every day

I call it a prison sentence

 

[N33dT0D13]

Honestly no, I feel like I'm a tragic character, in part because my life is great at times but it's hard to appreciate it as such. For anyone familiar with Danganronpa, I feel like I have Nagito luck, or both really really bad luck and really really good luck, I seem to have a lot of statistically unlikely shit happen in my life good and bad. Trying to get better at recognizing and appreciating it for what it is.

 

[Untimely]

It seems like a theme in my life is a fall from grace. I was born into a wealthy, well-off family and grew up in one of the richest towns in America. I went to an elite college, but failed to launch into adulthood and am now a hiki aka NEET. These songs describe my life. It feels like my life is a tragedy

Yeah it's depressing lol

No more like this:

Same except I'm doing a different path for college to be cheaper. I wouldn't say my life is tragic, though. I just think that because I've realized that life is just this pointless simulation, I've lost interest in playing it. I don't care about the ups and downs of working to get my goals. I just don't. I just want to die. I wouldn't even say I'm suffering--I'd say I'm more tired than brutally suffering. Also, wanna be friends?

 

[thot88]

I don't really think tragically. I can never have normal sex with a woman when I am sexually deviant. I used to dream about children and family. But it is impossible in my case.

I could still live a good life, but the symptoms related to autism hinder my life. Then I often feel scared, even though there is not necessarily any reasonable reason for it.

I hope death is an eternal emptiness without suffering and fear.

 

[calebzz1]

Yep, my dream surgery went wrong and now I'm dealing with a lot of complications.

 

[leavingthesoultrap]

Yes. Used to be ups and downs before but after COVID it became just a downward spiral

"Say life's a bitch, but mine's a movie"

 

[T_Afflige_X]

Being born neurotypical and with much older parents, at first I just thought my life just had a few misteps being built. But once COVID killed my senior year of high school and graduation, that's when I knew I was cursed from the start.

 

[karmaisabitch]

I do. Life its self is evil and tragic.

 

[TransientEternal]

No, just underwhelming and disappointing.

 

[returntothevoid]

Yes but it was entirely my own fault. I decided to modify my own body irreversibly due to trauma, anxiety, and really just a false sense of hope that if I did so I'd be happier. I've never been more miserable and isolated in my life and it is all my own doing. I am having severe health complications at 22. It's tragic because I have no one to blame but myself for this mess I've gotten into.

 

[Melancholic_Misfit]

my own therapist said this at one point lol. that i'm a tragic person.

it would make sense though, given my situation.

(i explained it in another thread, but i don't want to come off as like advertising, so i won't link it here)

i don't mean to pry, but i'm curious, in what way did you modify your body that led to this?

What's worse is when you achieve everything you set out to, only to realise it's all empty and meaningless. People tell you hard work pays off and it's important to work in a job you're passionate about and that provides value to society.

But when you achieve that, you realise neither of these things is possible. People don't want what's good for them, and they don't care what you're passionate about.

We've been brainwashed to celebrate the hyper individualistic society that has been created for us, where we are suspicious of everyone around us and can never experience love. The "powers that be" have been successful in creating something not unlike the dystopia described by Orwell in 1984, and it will only get worse.

Became a tranny. Lost all sexual function and I'm basically close to dying now anyway, my body couldn't take it. I flew too close to the sun in my own narcissism

You have my sympathies. It is disgusting and evil how the state encourages and promotes chemical castration, sterilisation and genital mutilation of the mentally ill. Legitimate therapy and mental health treatment is what's required.

Just understand it's not your fault. It's a failing of our society and what we have let it become.

Look into the background of Magnus Hirschfeld, the world's first sex change doctor, to understand why all those books were burned in 1930s Germany. Then watch Europa The Last Battle, which is available on Telegram. It's a real eye-opener.

Yeah I've been learning about the history about all this within the last few months. Stopped my hormones. I thought I could detransition but there's really no coming back from this. There's nothing to detransition back TO. Once your health is gone it's gone. I was barely 17 when I was put on this medical pathway.

I assume I'm about to be banned for raising concerns about this, because I am about to double down on my position after a "warning" from a moderator after a similar comment I made in another thread.

It really is so natural to be confused about your sexuality and so on at that age (17). I know I was, but I got over it. The transsexual thing has only become mainstream since the pandemic, despite (((them))) having worked on making it so since the 1930s and earlier. But I can see how it would've been more mainstream in certain circles before the pandemic. (I've been to one or two gay bars and been introduced to FTM and MTF transsexuals. The gender dysphoria never goes away.)

I can only emphasise with you.

One of the reasons I am suicidal is because of how brainwashed people have become to (((the agenda))). I would say there's more to life than having children… but I'm honestly not sure there is. And if I had kids, I'd want to raise them to create a better society than this. That may no longer be possible. I was gonna say I'm in a similar position to you in that respect, but I'm not sure I am - or I only am in some respects.

I'm a depressed and aging alcoholic, but I could still potentially turn it around against the odds. After you've gone through what you've gone through, it's probably game over re kids and much else?

Anyway, although we didn't talk much, I kinda related to you a bit, so just wanted to potentially say goodbye as I may get banned soon.

 

[kane9191kosugi]

Wow, my life is almost EXACTLY the way this OP described lol (well at least the "born in rich family and having good education, but falling off the cliff" part).

Born in a rich family. Studied abroad in numerous places. Got a degree from a pretty prestigious university.
But here I am, no jobs (which I wanted in the first place because I feel a great discomfort and anxiety living in a "community"), no income, my dad is arrested due to BS reason, my mom divorced, my sister is unknown in whereabouts, our family now being pit bottom of society, …etc.

But the weird thing is that I had this ominous feeling even when I was in elementary school that my life was destined to fail. I was bullied in every stage of childhood, and nobody came to my defense.
I never truly got along with any human relationships, and by high school, I came to the realization that nobody (which includes parents) could understand me.

I'm at a point where even ctb is tiring. Sure, I have SI and I'm also scared to die (even though I want to), but I just want to completely disappear from this world without even realizing it. I'm just that "done" with life.

 

[fleetingnight]

I get that. I used to have potential when I was younger, but I feel like a different person now than I was then.

Just goes to show how shitty life is. Even if it seems like someone's given a fair chance, it can still be so bad that they need to escape.

(I hope it's not insensitive to say something kinda off topic, but you have a good taste in music.)
