Discussion How do you cope with life's unfairness ?

[finallydone]

i suffered greatly my entire life from unfairness, still do to this day, i got to the point of believing that i'm simply cursed by it, like every time things start gaining momentum, life seems to throw me in a ditch and step on my face reminding me that i'll never be strong enough or smart enough to out maneuver it
as a result i developed this new coping skill, where i set these small goals, and make them feel like a 'win" every time i achieve one of them, however i sometimes remind myself that what counts as a "win" to me, could be someone else's daily boring routine
the only thing that remained as it is however, is the fact that i'll never forgive my fucking parents for bringing to such a miserable place
.
so what about you, how do you cope with life's unfairness ?

i don't cope, I just accept that I'm cursed with being fetch of society, it is what it is tbh

I feel fairness and justice are human concerns. Projecting it into the world leads to disappointment, because the world is cruelly indifferent. Accepting this has helped some in managing the dissatisfaction.

I like your strategy of reframing and counting small things as wins. Redefining success is powerful imo.

It just makes me wish for non-existence even more, personally I see existence itself as the ultimate problem as it's the source of all suffering, I only wish to permanently cease existing and never suffer ever again. I just see existence as something so terrible and harmful especially as there's no limit as to how much one can suffer as long as they exist, there's so much cruelty in existing, I'd never wish to cope with any of this rather I'd prefer to cease existing where finally I cannot suffer in any way and all is gone and forgotten about for me.

I like your coping mechanism. Mine isn't really coping. Anything awful that happens just cements my view further that life is a pile of shit!

I suppose I 'cope' with it because- I simply tell myself- your choices are limited for now. I tell myself: You can't kill yourself while your Dad is still alive. So- whatever shit thing has now happened, you're just going to have to deal with it the best you can. But- chalk that up as another reason why you want out of this place.

But yeah- it carries a great deal of resentment now too unfortunately. As in- this world is utterly unfair. Why did my parents think it was ok to bring me into this? What were they thinking? Were they thinking? I imagine all they were thinking was: 'I want children.'

as i grew older i came to realize that becoming a parent is the most selfish act one could commit, now i just get filled with rage every time i remember i have to pay the bill of another selfish mf
