How old are you?

[MiMif]

I'm 19 just wondering how old people here are

I turned 23 a few weeks ago. Mentally I feel like I'm 17 or 18 though, 19 at most. I hate the fact that we have to get older each year

I'm not going to lie I'm the opposite. I want to hurry up and grow up so I don't have to rely on my parents anymore and just be alone and not be forced to interact with people. I'm hoping on being an online freelancer...I really dislike people all I wish for is solitude...I'm hoping maybe then I won't be suicidal anymore.

Interesting, I wish I never had to grow up. I honestly never even though that I would live past 18. Being an adult and having to enter adulthood actively makes me suicidal. My hard exit point is 25, I can't imagine living past that. I don't want to and I never will.

I hate interacting with people as well and I wish I could live in solitude, and I hate that this world is built on social interaction and connection. Honestly I'm a modern day hermit right now and I wish I could be one forever. I'm a shut-in who never wants to enter or engage with the real world. I don't want to have to interact with people just to make a living. I hate the fact that we have to earn our livings in this world.

22, will be 23 in a couple of months, I really feel like I've been trapped in this existence for far too long at this point and it fills me with so much dread how this existence could potentially continue for much longer.

Same! I've been trapped here long enough and I wish that I could finally escape and have a way out

Omg I love that song

Turning 23 in a few months. Growing up with abusive parents, I wish I had a childhood that I could look back to with fond memories. Life has been shitty for a long time for me. Moving on to adulthood and needing to work to live has further exacerbated my desire to CTB.

Unrelated but I really love the quote you have ". Relatable

 

[Seered Doom]

23 years old, even if I'm mentally a teen, I'm still 23 chronologically.

 

[SpiritualDeath]

Just turned 20 this summer lol. I never thought I could live this long when I was 15 or smth, but sadly here I am.

Same! Adulthood and having to be an adult is the main reason why I'm suicidal. I hate the fact that we have to work to live

Mood. It's was almost too much to keep my head above the water before, let alone now I have to go to work most days. Not exactly an appealing existence.

 

[totalselfhatred]

21 but I'm stuck at 16-17. I feel like I've died when I was a teenager

 

[Agon321]

20. My counter will most likely stop at this number. You can see that there are a lot of young people on this site, which is quite disturbing. The fact that we live in the best times in the history of our civilization shows what an abyss we are in.

 

[HollowDrop]

I'll turn 30 next year. After hitting 18 years started to just blend together, sometimes I forget how old I am.

 

[randal_bond]

The results are crazy (but very predictable). 70% are people under 30, and almost half are 18-22. Maybe, it's really worth waiting till you're a bit older to make a decision? I know it's not a popular opinion, but the poll results make me wonder.

I'm trying to wait till I'm 25

Same! I also feel like I died when I was a teenager. My life hasn't felt real ever since 2018, I probably died then and switched timelines or something

I'm also stuck at like 17 or 18

I'm trying to wait till I'm 25

Yeah same, but by the way things are going I'm probably gonna have to go out soon :/

Yeah my counter will stop at 25 max. Probably more like 23 though

We are in an abyss, it's "the best time in the history of our civilization" yet life is still so miserable for so many people, and so many are suffering. I blame late-stage capitalism for this.

Yeah, that literally makes me want to die. In fact that's one of the leading causes why I want to die: having to work to live and *earn* your living. I'm just so exhausted and done with life as an adult. I hate that the world runs on money and we all have to make money to survive and pay for our existence. Fuck adulthood! It's literally a scam. Existence this way is not appealing at all

I'm in my 40's. I should have died at birth or, even better, never have existed at all. Poor, dear mom and dad, really made a bad decision in having me.

 

[Tokugawa_Yoshinobu]

I'm 19 now since September 27th.

I'm also in the 40's and agree with your sentiment. Once when I was nine while fighting with my mom I asked her why she didn't abort me. I didn't ask to be here. Since then I've become an anti-natatalist on a personal level.

I think it might just be about what demographics of people use internet forums and are technologically literate enough to even find this website.

 

[randal_bond]

I read somewhere that teenagers are the most suicidal age group.

 

[Rocinante]

25

 

[umopep!sdn128]

24. I physically and mentally do not correspond to this age, I almost never even worked because I hate it. I can't stand it when people say that a person "should have achieved something in life" by a certain age, have a career and a family and all that crap. I don't give a damn about these social norms.

Literally! I hate these social norms and expectations
