Discussion How long did you believe you would live when you were younger?

[GetShrektAgain]

I would never guess 23 years

 

[Capsaicin78]

probably around 70. But depression will cut it all the way to 20 lol

You're 20?

 

[FuneralCry]

When I was younger, I could never imagine myself being much older, I thought I would never make it to 21, but I am still here. I have always avoided thinking about the future too much as it is extremely depressing. I feel like the life expectancy is too long and the thought of suffering until old age is horrifying. I do not want anymore days or years, all that I want is to peacefully pass away.

The more i research, the more it seems there is no peaceful way to leave, I just hope mine is quick

 

[emptyjokes]

I never expected to live very long, I just spent my younger years feeling like death was always right around the corner. I'm a little older now and I wouldn't have expected to make it this far, but I am almost certain I won't stick around for too long now.

 

[Nolan96]

As a kid, I thought I'd probably live to 100. I remember thinking that must be the normal age to die as long as you don't get sick, and scientists would probably be able to make sure that doesn't happen anymore by the time I was a grown-up.

From 12 onwards, I figured I'd kill myself before hitting 18 or at the very latest around 20. Adolescence was bad enough, and adulthood seemed just impossible to me.

Whenever I think about it now I feel like I've been alive way too fucking long at this point (25) but I'm not 100% ready to go yet.

 

[DerTod]

25. I've had a fascination with people who suffer,are addicted or commit suicide since the age of 13-14 .Wasn't depressed. And most of the people i love are dead musicians. 25 for me at that time was being old. I guess i liked the idea of living something intense and then ending it all in a very dramatic way.

What? I've read SN is quite peaceful and N is pain free.

Exactly the same here. That naivety and bliss of childhood are magical, it's one of the few things left I marvel at on this earth, and why despite not being pro-life I hate heinous acts against kids. I think most adults would not hesitate to go back to kindergarten if they could. They are the only free, conscience people.

The way I see it is people have been hanging themselves and others from the beginning of humanity. The other methods are relatively new, and as long as I can overcome SI pain is not a huge issue for me.

 

[Capsaicin78]

You're 20?

yup

 

[GetShrektAgain]

yup

I'd kill to be that age again and I'm 23 lol, honestly I think you could turn your life around at 20.

Are you abusing substances (drugs), that seems to be the biggest killer or at least correlates with the death of young males ambition

 

[stupidrat]

I always thought I would die young, even when I was a child. I thought I would live to be 18 at the latest. I'm 20 now and still surprised that I'm still around.

I cant, trust me. I do abuse cannabis, but only because I know im gonna ctb. Unfortunately my problems are not as simple as that. I just want my peace man

 

[onlyanimalsaregood]

I also thought that I would live to 100, I wanted to, but now seems impossible.

 

[DynamicDepression]

When I was a kid I saw a YouTube video (Thoughty2, I think) that said that the first people who will live to a thousand years of age have already been born. Scientifically illiterate as I was, I took it at face value and believed I would live for a millennium.

 

[WorthlessTrash]

I was hoping to CTB when I was 18. I'm slacking.

 

[Kodokushi]

When I was a baby baby I was so scared to die I hoped to live eternally lol. Then when all the bull hit, I thought I'll never see 18. After 18 - 21 (my "lucky number"). Now I'm all like "I can still make it to club 27, right?"

 

[Sparx]

I wanted to reach at least 70 but now I won't even make 50.

 

[Rocinante]

I'm immortal

 

[wiltingorchid]

propably around 80 when i was young.
nowadays i know that i will ctb at latest when im 27.

 

[Heavenbound]

When I was a child, I could never imagine myself being in old age. I don't believe I thought I would ever make it to the age I am now, but here I am.

 

[quietxconfessions]

I truly never thought I'd live to see 30.

 

[Octavia]

I never expected myself to become an adult, and yet here I am at 21 years of age. Ugh, I am old.

 

[unnormal9]

I did not imagine living past age 12.

 

[miu]

when i was little i had this phase where i was absolutely terrified of death.. so at least 80 years old.
now i've become more terrified of having to live another month.

 

[StolenLife]

When I was younger I wanted to live forever lol. So let's say that I hoped to live well into my 90s. I didn't think life would be this tiring and boring.

 

[stermc]

Since I can remember I said I would die by 21.

 

[Tortured_empath]

100

 

[PleaseTakeMeAway]

I always believed I'd kill myself around 40 years old. I don't know why, but I did. Hopefully going to do it before I'm even 30.

 

[Depression]

Never wanted to live past 50. But honestly with how life I going I don't wanna make it to 31.
