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

40. I was so convinced I'd die at the same age as my Mum. So disappointed when I didn't.

i had my first graphic suicidal thoughts when i was 9, from there i never thought i'd make it to 18, then i did. then my parents finally died, so things got better for a few years, thought i might make it after all. then i lost everything not once but twice, that started about three years ago. now... i never feel like i'm gonna make it to the next morning honestly

I always told myself I'd die young.

i always based it off my great grandparents, so mid to upper 90s. now though I'll be amazed to make it to 30

When I was little, people kept saying that the world would end in 2000. To my child mind, that seemed prophetic. I would be 20. So I always kind of expected some catastrophe to happen in 2000...the only disaster that came was in the flick "2000" ( loved that movie lol part of me wanted it to come real). So then I thought I'll be dead by 50. Most likely, so, I never want to get old and saggy, but I will ctb soon anyway - 50 is too far in the future, and I can't make it...

I didn't think I was gonna make it past high school, and the fact that I'm gonna graduate high school in a month is both fascinating and terrifying to me.
