I think 'waterbottleman' means it in a good way, that OP is possible of maybe steering life in a the right direction.
That OP hasn't pursuing all options, i.e. getting a high school diploma, to come to the conclusion CTB is the best decision to make.
I think 'waterbottleman' sincerely wants OP to be happy and not to compromise his CTB plan.
But a lot of 'older' members, including myself, know life is complete and utter shit and we have tried, to no avail, to make it better and it didn't work out. If I could go back to my past 18 year old version, I would tell him: "your CTB ideation is just! Life will be even more shittier in the future! The people who say 'it will get better' were bullshitting!"
'EndlessNameless', life could be better, but can also be a lot worse and if you think life will only prolong and increase suffering, and therefore want to CTB, I wish you a peaceful transition.
I hope to join you soon
