Venting I don’t like being human.

[weirdfishes]

I don't like being human. I think I would've been a lot better off if I'd been born anything else.

The way I experience the world is too much for me to deal with. I tried shutting myself away from everything and everyone, but it ended up being my own thought processes that overwhelmed me.
It's painful trying to live a normal life when there's something fundamentally different about you to most people. I feel so out of place in life to the point where I barely feel a sense of connection to this world at all. The only things that really give me that are nature and like anything living that isn't human.

Idk if anyone else feels like this so I'm just dumping it here

I also hate being human. It disgusts me and fills me with embarrassment and shame. We are a terrible species who lies to itself about how wonderful we are. I'd rather be a robot or purely digital.

Human life is too long

you're definitely not alone

I have dreams about being a kitten snuggling in a concrete tube with my mother and siblings sometimes. It's always raining, but warm anyways. Feels a bit more real than this life somehow

and one of my main reasons for CTBing is just straight up not wanting to deal with any of this. Social constructs, rules, work, physical and mental limitations, pain, etc. it just sucks, y'know? I want something different

I definitely feel like this and relate to everything you said.

 

[img-phenix]

Same here, I would've been so much better as a fish tbh.

Nice username (lovely song).

I love what you wrote. I too constantly crave to be something else, somewhere else — this ridiculous, juvenile yearning cannot be soothed. The older I am the worse it aches. Nothing I saw was worth my struggling. The limits imposed on me and the divides between us are pitiless. Not like this. Not human. Not this world.

i hope if there is a next life that we can all be reincarnated as trees in a lovely forest together

Me too. I hate belonging to this petty, petulant and self-centered species. I don't and have never felt comfortable with it.

But I disagree with thinking that we would be better off by being born as something else. Because we would only be truly be better off by never being born at all.

Life sucks big time. For all life forms.

I don't like being human either. I've never felt human and I've always wanted to be a cat. When I was younger, I told my relatives back in China about how I wish I were a cat and they thought that I was weird (and they still remember it; they brought it up the last time I saw them. They probably think I'm a schizo lol). I've also told my immediate family about how I want to be a cat and how I wish I were one. My sister and I used to play pretend as cats when we were kids. Honestly, I envy cats. They're the OG NEETs and have the best lives. They don't have to do any of the dumb shit that humans have to. I don't know why my soul would choose to be human (if we do choose our lives). Who'd want to be human anyway?

Being a pine tree would be so sick dude

That's the case for most people that struggle with their mental health, so you're definitely not the only one, which I hope is reassuring for you.

Still, a small percentage of people, in comparison to the world population, so I understand why you feel so alone.

Personally, I have never felt a sense of belonging in the world, but I'm aware that is due to trauma, which caused mental illness.

I can guarantee every single person on this website feels like this, too - and that is why this site is great for people like us, right?! We can fit in somewhere. Nothing worse than not feeling like you fit in!

I hope you feel a little better knowing you're not alone with these feelings - look at everyone showing their support :-)

Cats are based. Humans are shitty

 

[Emptea9000]

This is my dilemma exactly.

 

[sserafim]

So true

 

[Iloveher]

i think most of us here feel the same way so youre really not alone

 

[Seered Doom]

I don't like being stuck in a human body as much as the next one here. This fleshy prison sucks.

 

[Silent_cries]

I hate being human too. It's pure torture! I'd rather not be put into existence at all in the first place though. I just want nothingness. If I had to pick I'd be anything but human though.
