How serious is life for you?

[noname223]

Can you still make or enjoy jokes? Can you be free from sorrows sometimes and just relax? Can you laugh at yourself and feel some easiness?

My answer is complicated but in general I would say for me life is way way more serious than for my friends. I especially notice that when we are talking about video games or other hobbies. My friends take them so serious, not losing in a game, new releases of games etc. Even as a child I could not feel the easiness they still feel. Winnig in a game does not mean much to me. I have very serious problems, I worry daily a lot. I experience huge pressure and I barely feel easiness. It is hard to me to relax but I am more skilled at it than in the past.

I sometimes do jokes also about myself. And I am glad I can make my friends smile sometimes. But honestly I can talk at one minutes about my obsession concerning suicide with them and then crack a funny or nasty joke about other stuff.

I am quite serious about life. And I often think what I have been through and what I have to expect from the future. I have existential sorrows. And it is hard to cope with them. But this does not mean I could not make any jokes anymore. Life is cynical. I can be that too.

I take life quite seriously that is why I think it is fair to say enough.

i don't give a fuck if i die it makes me so happy

I never feel relaxed and I see nothing positive about living at all. Life is very serious and to laugh at anything would invalidate all the cruelty and suffering that exists. I believe that wanting suicide is just seeing the world for what it really is, to me suicide is a rational decision as I believe that my life is not worth living. Life is so horrible as anyone could end up in the worst pain possible at any moment. To me life is just endless problems and misery all for the sake of it, and only death will bring relief.

Younger people tend to be more serious than older ones I think. Realising how shit things really are doesn't mean you can't ever laugh or see the funny side.

 

[y'ffre]

Nope, It's not serious. Not even a little bit.

 

[niiina]

I have no idea. I just know I want to get the fuck out of here, I don't know if it's serious or not, what I know is that it's insufferable

 

[Someone123]

I think not taking it seriously could make it easier to escape the bad luck I have had here- it's less than a hundred years out of all of eternity, and in this case I had really bad luck, which is true for pretty much all of the 1 in 60 people who end up leaving by ctb.

 

[Celerity]

Dark humor is the solution. I really push the envelope as much as I can. When you can't cry, laugh.

 

[Nolan96]

Can you still make or enjoy jokes?
I find it hard, and when I do it's that sick-to-your-stomach kind of humor. Even when it's light humor, because there seems to be something very dark to me about laughing even at light things when life is so fucking horrid.

Can you be free from sorrows sometimes and just relax?
Never fully.

Can you laugh at yourself and feel some easiness?
No. I'm too defensive and insecure.

In general I take life fairly seriously. I never understood the appeal of The Joker for example, or the mentality that a lot of his mentally ill fans gravitate toward.

Yes I tend to take things seriously. Jokes are fine, I joke all the time, but in terms of making decisions and doing things. When I need to buy something, I will try to find the cheapest price before buying, and I'll beat myself up if afterwards I find it cheaper somewhere else. Or I will carefully consider whether I need something or not before doing it, or worry endlessly about the consequences. I see other people so carefree doing whatever they want, and not worrying about these 'small' things, when I consider these things to be serious.

The Joker is the antithesis to this. In trying to live life seriously, I end up not being able to live it, because every decision is serious and comes with great weight to me. Only in treating it like a joke can you live freely without worry, because it's all a joke and so nothing matters, whatever the outcome. In a way it disgusts me, because I am idealistic and wish that life is fair, and that being serious and putting in effort should be rewarded.

I don't give a fuck about anybody. I ride solo. I'm going through this life living it up to the fullest. Quality over quantity.

 

[Sick of it all]

Deadly serious.

 

[Deboneire1]

Very serious.

 

[theboy]

life is serious like a clown crying

 

[Fowli]

Honestly I don't care about being alive or dying.

 

[Angst Filled Fuck Up]

Making jokes and goofing off is about all I can do, many days. When you have been unwell for years you learn to live with it on some level. You're utterly miserable and depressed underneath it of course, but you can't change it and you haven't died yet. So you go on. And humor is a part of that, as much as some people try to tell you that it isn't.

 

[Autumn11]

Not serious in one sense. Too serious in other senses.

 

[Brick In The Wall]

Wait, we're supposed to be taking any of this seriously?

 

[CTB Dream]

Not know what serious what bot all nonsense cruel make hurt suffering
