Venting I can't believe most people don't ever think about killing themselves even a single day of their lives

[Lammpz]

I've never wanted to think so negatively about the average person, but how can anyone not be suicidal or depressed without outright lying to themselves and actively ignoring most things in life? There's no way anyone can look at reality and actually want to keep on living. They have to be delusional to be so happy about themselves and life. I want to think my world view has simply gotten too distorted and my mind has made me look too deep into everything, and I'm actually wrong, meaning I could be happy someday, but I still heavily doubt it.

some people are lucky as fuck and genuinely have their happy chemicals and sad chemicals balanced and they have great lives. then when they come across something like suicide it shocks them because they have 0 clue how someone can even be upset
while they're living in a bubble

there has to be a reason for a person not wanting to exist here anymore. if someone is happy, suicide thoughts don't even cross their mind.

I get what you're saying. It's hard to want to live seeing how f**ked up this world is. But. There's still a lot of good folks out there. Those who want to help others, that actually do something important. And if there are people who are happy I'm glad that they are. Even if it's bc of their own stupidity. It would make me very sad if I knew that everyone in this world wanted to cease to exist. I want to believe that there's true real love and happiness out there for someone, even if it's not me

it's just crazy to think about when we've been like this for most of our lives. Even the thought of people not having to deal with this is surreal.

 

[enough of this]

That seems strange to me, too.

 

[StarFaded]

I think about not existing in this world everyday, even as a casual thought.

 

[Shaylla1998]

Some individuals seem to have an easier time in life and don't dwell on the flaws of the world. They simply live their lives and find happiness. However, I've noticed that the majority of people in Western societies face challenges such as demanding jobs, infidelity, unfortunate incidents, addictions, etc. They tend to focus their energy on their problems and overlook the positive aspects of their lives, which can contribute to negative or CTB thoughts. Based on my observations and experiences over the past decade, most individuals can overcome their negative thoughts relatively easily. However, there is a small minority who fall into deep depression and struggle to recover.

For a content person, it can be difficult to suddenly shift their focus to the negative aspects of life. However, at some point in everyone's life, negative or even CTB thoughts may arise to varying degrees.

I feel like it comes to mind to most people in some level, but society conditioned them to shake it away

it's funny that this is exactly how happy people view us as well.

 

[Forever Sleep]

Yeah, I don't get it either. I suspect a lot of people do think like this at least once but maybe they just hide it. Maybe it frightens them- so, they do their best to abolish those thoughts. I think most people here have reached a certain comfort with feeling like this. I think a lot of people here would say this was a 'normal' reaction to living in a world like this- so- why would we change?

Still- I think it's more the case that people hide how they truly feel. I think a lot of people even here 'play a part' in real life in order to be treated normally by work colleaues, friends and family.

 

[FuneralCry]

I also find it hard to believe. Actually wishing to exist in this world filled with endless suffering and harm is something that I could never understand, wanting to die is all that I know and I see wishing for suicide as being a perfectly logical response to being aware of how dreadful existence truly is.

Non-existence is certainly the only relief for me, I don't see a point to existing and I could never see existence as being something appealing or desirable, to me existing is just a futile process of waiting around to die anyway where we are destined for nothing but to be tortured by old age. I see existence itself as being the ultimate problem as it's the true cause of all suffering, existence repulses me.

 

[Praestat_Mori]

I can answer you with real personal experience: as long as you have the feeling your life is going just fine and the way you wish for it with no "real problems" (whatever they may be is personal!) you'll not have suicidal thoughts/plans. At least I never had them up until when the decline started here.

I want to add that to me suicide was always and will always be an option I would consider under certain personal life circumstances.

I think most people have thought about suicide at least one point in their lives, as you get older and start losing parents, spouses, friends, even pets

 

[Mr2005]

I think it's occurred to most people at least once but I don't think it has much to do with the state of the world and more the state of their own lives

 

[loopdaloop]

Suicide jokes are quite common, or saying that you would rather kill yourself than doing X. Probably most people have thought about it at least once

 

[hellispink]

most people ignore reality. They are too selfish living in their bubbles. They love fantasy and conform as slaves for the system. We do not want to be slaves in this suffering place and thats our maybe good or worst trait because we suffer more. To be happy here you must ignore abuse crime trafficking lies and horrible more things to pass by. They ok with doing that. I am not because i know how disgusting we are as species
