I Hate Being A Physical Body

[Pentobarbital_Plz]

I hate that I am stuck as what I am. I can't change my physical form. I despise my appearance. I despise physical sensations. I hate sweating. I hate hunger. I hate pooping. I hate being stuck as a physical organism. I hate having hair. I hate that I can hear my heartbeat in my ears. I hate having genitalia and bodily secretions; menstruation. I hate finger/toe nails. I hate how my clothes fit.

I just want to be Nothingness. Non-existent. I wish that I was never born.

 

[no!tres.]

kinda unrelated bad message to "stop having kids".

it is biologically imperative in a healthy and natural relationship to reproduce and create joyful lives for your offspring

your failure to find such a connection is separate to pleasure you can find with existence, feels pretty bias and close minded

Fuck off

 

[FuneralCry]

I understand, I personally see human existence as such a cruel, futile burden, I find it deeply undesirable to exist in every way possible, more than anything I wish this existence was never imposed. I wish I was never forced into this existence of pointless suffering, I just wish to be non-existent as well, non-existence is all I hope for, I'd never wish for existence.

Fuckin hell. Well said. It's very inconvenient and uncomfortable.

What the hell's going on? A fellow suicidal is lecturing about the pursuit of happiness?

If it wasn't written with the non-sensical prose of an eight-year-old, one might even able to make sense enough of the intent to address what is undoubtedly foolish blabber.

Having kids is fucking stupid for a large majority of the population.

 

[pachamacha]

i hate the fact i cant get away or escape from it enternal human prison im so fucking suffocated i can not switch off my body is always there allways needing never quiet so dependent and whiny i hate it never a break harrasment invasive smothering i feed it i water it i defecate constant needs insofafruable feeling of touch is loud intense i need a break i want to turn off human even for a bit it is exhausting ive exhausted an enternal lifetime of tolerence of human being agony i want nothingness enternal bliss of nothingness switch off pernerment eradicated terminated

 

[VigilanteWithViolin]

It feels familiar.
Every day, when I wake up, I imagine that this physical body needs to be taken care of, because if something happens, it will get sick or look bad, etc. It's infuriating. Being a disembodied creature would be much better. Or not be at all.
As for never being born, damn, I just realize how much pain and inconvenience my mom endured while carrying, giving birth, and taking care of me until I was old enough. And I just feel sorry for her and I'm sorry that her (although we are not particularly close) efforts were useless.

What the hell's going on?

Maybe it's just some kind of fool who doesn't understand what they're talking about. a prolifer or something...

 

[EvisceratedJester]

I also hate having a body. Bodies are so repulsive and gross and my body in particular is quite nasty to deal with. I hate being alive so much and my body is definitely factors into that. It feels like part of being alive is trying to create the illusion of your body being presentable and not a disgusting mass of flesh that produces nasty substances and smells.

I can't tell if this is a joke or not

 

[ijustwishtodie]

I also hate having a physical body. With the amount of issues that can happen to a body, it's impossible for me to not see my body as a torture machine. It's so scary at the amount of suffering that could occur to me all because of my body. The only way for me to never be subjected to any sort of suffering in the future is to be dead. I really hope that I die quickly so that I can no longer be worried about the suffering that could happen to me at any given time.

Mine is a diseased piece of shit.

[yowai]

I often feel the same, especially the part about being hungry. For some reason it bothers me so much and I hate making food for myself and eating most things. If there was a powder or pills that would substitute all nutrients and calories I'd make it 99% of my meals. And the body needs so much upkeep, constantly washing hair or body to not have to deal with smells. Also hate sweating when walking somewhere or cleaning, yuckkk

 

[darkest]

It's so fucking inconvenient as well, not just the biology behind it but the chemistry as well, doesn't fucking work right and way many times more than not things work against eachother and it fucking sucks.
If anything we caused our develoution as a species, this bullshit development is not being put to use right and future generations are getting fucked and fuck knows if this species would ever be not beyond repair.

 

[pthnrdnojvsc]

i agree with some of posts on this thread about being trapped in an always hungry animal body. even worse than that to me is that this brain is 86 billion brain cells that can produce unending constant unbearable pain. .

the worst is the pain and torture so bad that a few seconds of that unbearable pain makes every thing else meaningless.

it's really disgusting and torturous , 30 trillon human cells. and there are trillions of non-human microorganisms inside and on every human waiting to overtake the immune system to cause sickness disease and pain, parasites worms bacteria mites trillions of monsters

but we are constantly told how wonderful , beautiful , important the human body and life are. they constantly glorify to the trillionth power all these meaningless crap and addictions . while the extreme pain possible dwarfs all that supposedely so good and pleasurable bs.

the worst is the pain and torture so bad that a few seconds makes every thing else meaningless. this world is an evil abomination in that they purposefully criminalized every guaranteed suicide method that is a safety net to escape such incomprehensible pain. so they put everyone in danger of suffering extreme torture with no way out , all for no reason except to keep everyone enslaved and imprisoned. the technology is there a hundred ways someone aiding in suicide ,suicide booths and sarco , nembutal ,fentanyl , carbon monoxide cylnders, cyanide capsules all made into crimes just to make this world a torture prison . but everyone thinks it's ok these evil psychopaths criminalized everyone's escape from extreme suffering and excruciating pain. they made it a crime to move away from extreme suffering . and they have everyone thinking this is needed and just and right and good.

Understand totally, it's all to much for some of us,
Tortured life, what's point in all of this, if not to die in the end anyway.
Sooner is better than later......
The time in between birth and dying is relevant only in the fact that we all must die one day.

The good news is: you're not s physical body (after all, who witnesses the body and all it's actions? The body? Or is it you, the consciousness?).

The bad news: you/we still have to suffer all the pains of the body (hunger/thirst).

 

[EvisceratedJester]

No, you are your body. Your consciouness literally stems from your body. Several areas of the brain, such as the thalamus, the reticular formation, and the cerebral cortex, are responsible for consciousness. Hence why things, such as drugs or brain damage, can lead to alterations in one's consciousness.

 

[FinalVoid25]

Same. I think about this all the time and feel so hateful towards myself and this useless physical body. Evolution feels like a cruel joke. We are so weak and have so many useless body functions its pathetic.

This is all the hardware, not the software. The softest is mind/consciousness.

You still exist during sleep, and yet there is 0 interaction with the outside world.

People have NDE experiences. They are still aware while not being in a physical meat suit.

You mean personality with your example. Consciousness has no quality, as far as I know, like a tabula rasa. But being formless and without qualities, it can assume the identity of a body and then various beliefs called the mind.

The idea of consciousness arising from a piece of gelatinous mass (brain) doesn't make any sense whatsoever.

No, I do not mean "personality" with my example. I'm literally going off of my limited knowledge of cognitive neuroscience. Brain damage, for example, can lead to conditions that can impact one's level of consciousness, such as locked-in syndrome. An aspect of psychoactive drugs is their ability to alter one's consciousness. Research has demonstrated that there are brain areas that are involved in consciousness.

When people experience NDEs, they are still trapped in their meat suits. NDEs are likely the result of certain biological phenomena happening right before someone dies, rather than them being due to some sort of supernatural/spiritual event.

Consciousness doesn't require that we be in a constant state of meta-awareness. Also, Tabula Rosa is a belief that is commonly disputed by many psychologists.

That is not what I learned from reading many NDEs. People are really outside of their body and the experience feels more real than real. Also it becomes evident that these bodies aren't our real/ultimate form.

I know what you mean but some advanced meditation practicioners (I'm talking about the hardcore 24/7 ones) claim they can maintain awareness even in the beginning stages of sleep - check out tibetan dream yoga.

We don't need that, but we certainly can be mindful throughout the day with little effort.

Again, impossible to believe that a gelatinous blob would give rise to consciousness.

We did something similar to how a brain works with AI, but it's obvious that it's not conscious.

Supernatural is just the natural. We add labels to things we don't understand.

Even eight-year-olds right better than that.

They aren't outside of their bodies in the literal sense. Just as how some people may experience out-of-body moments when high on certain drugs or when going through severe dissociation but you would treat it as though they are actually outside of their bodies, the same applies to NDEs. This isn't evidence of our bodies not being real or the "ultimate form". You are taking a bunch of subjective accounts at face value.

Meditation practitioners also aren't qualified to say anything about this. They aren't researchers. Them maintaining awareness at the beginning of sleep stages doesn't really prove anything. You could argue that their results are due to changes in brain activity rather than it being due to some sort of spiritual nonsense. Just as how we are able to change our brain activity in such a way in order to accomplish certain tasks, such as the Stroop task (which involves your brain needing to exert control in order to keep you from automatically responding in the most routine way (reading the word) by having the prefrontal cortex exert control to favour colour representations and make them more salient in order to win out the disagreement between whether you should read the word or name the colour), you could argue that the effects of mediation likely stem from its impact on brain activity. An aspect of an executive region (the prefrontal cortex) is its ability to control other brain areas physiologically. Meditation, I'm assuming, likely affects cognitive control (also known as executive function), leading to the whole sleep thing that you are talking about.

So again, no it isn't "impossible to believe that the gelatinous blob could give rise to consciousness".

A.I. isn't a fucking brain. The two things are completely different from one another. Us taking inspiration from certain aspects of the brain when creating it doesn't mean that it functions in the exact same ways that a brain does. Just as how solar panels don't work in the exact same way that photosynthesis does despite us taking inspiration from it.

I've always felt like life would be better if I could exist as a ghost

 

[LastLoveSong]

I hate having to brush my teeth or wear clothes or sit down or stand up, i hate having to move my arms and i hate having to use my legs to walk, i hate seeing myself in the mirror and realising i exist, i hate when i accidentally bite my tongue or burn it from drinking something hot, i hate when i accidentally poke myself in the eye, i hate when i get splinters on my hands, i hate having 24/7 headaches, i hate stubbing my toe on something when i was just trying to complete a basic task, i hate waking up in the same body every single day of this decrepit existence

 

[pointblank]

I'm one who's attached to the aesthetic culture. I used to be a pretty boi but dna expression took for the wrong turn and I look fatter and balder now. Yeah, this is one aspect of life that sucks.

 

[Lost Magic]

Having a good shit is better than being constipated. That's one blessing, I guess But apart from that it's a lot of work to fuel the machine called the human body. I would never have allowed myself to be born, if I had a choice in the matter. However, since I am already here, i'll just fake it until it's time to gtfo dodge!

 

[İnilerim]

I relate to this a lot.
