Venting I can't find any reason to be happy about the future.

[Gstreater]

I was asked what would make me happy. I have things that I think would make me happy. But they feel impossible or it feels like I won't ever be happy. I haven't found a reason to keep going no matter how many times I'm asked. I'm just going to help others until it all comes crashing down.

I can understand, I feel like the small things in life that once gave me happiness no longer do and the future doesn't look like those simple pleasures of happiness ever returning.

Maybe AGI singularity?

This is called foreshortened future and can be a sign of trauma.

I feel every word you said. I have no future. The past will always haunt me and the fact that I can't recreate it. And I can't plan for the future because I can only picture suicide as my only future goal.

I see no reason to be excited for the future. Literally nothing to look forward to. Life isn't a fairy tale where things will just suddenly get better

I might enjoy the future if I had a girlfriend, but on the other hand the idea of any more years of trying and failing completely just makes me want to cut my losses immediately.
