Emissary of the right to die.

Throughout my life, whenever I reach certain milestones growing up through childhood, adolescence, and even young adulthood, I get questions from people pertaining to my goals for the future and what I want to do with life. I oftenly don't have that great of an answer, and while during adolescence and early college (to some degree) it was about the usual vanilla goals, to make a living, and own a house, etc.

However, since the last decade, I don't really have good answers to such a question (well since I know I plan to CTB and have since been living on borrowed time, renewing after each milestone or next major event, turning point.). I have been living from cope to cope, borrowed time, myopically (near-sighted and short term goals) while just extending my CTB date over and over. I guess part of me became disillusioned after my dreams failed, the real world being what it is (total shit, meaningless, the horrors of reality, the world, etc.), and then realizing that life is indeed pointless (objectively speaking), full of suffering, injustices, inequalities, and even other shitty happenings. I certainly don't plan on living for decades nor into the golden years. Basically my life has been like someone who has a recurring subscription to a service or video game and with each new cope or extension is like another expansion or DLC (Downloadable Content) being released (lol at video game and entertainment analogy).

So the difficult part for me is to be able to adequately answer people's inquisitive question(s) without setting off red flags. By this, I mean answer them in a way that doesn't arouse suspicion yet satisfy them. It's not easy at all. In fact, when I get talks from people about moving up in life, I frankly don't care much about that at all since I plan to CTB when I'm young (even in better circumstances) as living until late age just isn't my thing. I am not interested in living a long, shitty life full of suffering and disappointment. Also, money is not really important if I plan to CTB young too. Money itself is just another means to (try to) obtain my goals and failing that, there is always the bus. I don't care about the things that most people care about (big house, yacht, luxuries, family and children (I'm an anti-natalist), and other common goals).

I also have a Laissez-Faire attitude towards life and death, especially death. I don't mind if I die young, as long as death itself is not too uncomfortable, painful, or full of suffering, then I'm ok with dying. This doesn't mean that I take unnecessary risks and get seriously injured or killed, I'd still wish to have a controlled death, under my own terms.

Can anyone relate to my story or have similar stories?

I think I know what I want to do in life (video game design), but I'm not 100% sure it is what I want. I kinda hate when people ask me what I want to do. I also don't really mind dying young because of all the problems I have (mental illnesses, articulation problems, bad short term memory, processing issues etc)

I feel exactly the same, 100%, the world is a shit, I want out. No matter how much "better" my life could get the world itself won't change. I never even thought I would live past the age of 18.

I know how you feel, i always weird out people when i say, i would love to know the date/time and how i will die, not that i will change my way of living, but i just want to know. I stop being honest because im tired of the judgement. Never been afraid of dying, neither really attach to live either its more whatever.
I can cope with the shitty world we live in, but i can't deal with my fucked up brain anymore.

Are you me? Lol. It's ironic (or maybe just silly) how the absolute shittiness of the world both exacerbates my depression and is trivialized by my suicidal ideation (i.e. world doesn't matter if you're going to leave it soon), exactly like you said. I wish I had any solutions, or even any ideas. Unfortunately, all we've got is solidarity.

Yeah, I can relate. At every stage of life I never imagined the next stage, and yet they came. I still can't see being middle aged or elderly. Sometimes life just won't let us die.

i don't know what to say other than while I was reading this I was just like, yep! yes! YES! YEEESSS! lol. so, I totally get it. and I've also been known as a traveller, it is the one thing I've actually enjoyed in this fucking life but now that's no longer gonna happen because of fucking covid and the "new normal" that I want nothing to do with. so when people ask me if I have any trips planned in the future I just say no, i'm done with travelling because of what's going on (while screaming inside YES, but I can't tell you what it is or you'll call the people with white coats. lol).
but i'm 41 now and I've been dealing with these feelings since 12, and i'm still fucking here. I never wanted to even be here at this point. yet, here I am. :( but I know I can't keep putting it off. I just need courage, and it's hard for me. In this world I just go through the motions of everyday life, while longing to so much to be home. it sucks.

The DLC comment hits home. And I never intended to even make it this long. I was going to have killed myself by now had everything gone according to plan (twice). But bloody breakdowns ruined both chances.

I've known for a long time that I'm destined to die by suicide. Ever since I was 15. Kinda hard to make life plans when you have this perspective and can't imagine a future.

Same here. i've known for a couple years by now and living up to my parents' expectations is difficult when there is nothing in store. I can study and take APs but it doesn't matter when i don't have a future.

Parents expecting so much is rough. Like it's your damn fault I'm alive and now you're gonna act like an ass? Thanks.

When I was about 25 I used to have big goals of making lots of money online and getting rich before 30. With all that money I could get beautiful girlfriends, lots of sex, live in a luxury condo, and thrive in life. Long story short 10yrs later all online businesses failed, nothing to show for the last 10yrs, feel like a miserable failure and now I have no money, no job, no hope, and the only thing I wanna do is hide in my room all day.

My only income right now is making a few bucks a day online doing surveys, just enough to buy groceries and that's good enough for me. I've become a hikikomori and I'm okay with it, I'm destined to CTB at some point in the near future. I've accepted this.

I haven't CTB yet only because of a family member, once they die (another 10-15yrs maybe) I'll bust out my SN and happily drink it down and be outta here. In the meantime I don't plan on getting a job. But maybe I'll look into starting a YouTube channel and do something with that, hopefully make it big and be able to have some sense of purpose in those next 10-15yrs.

I never intended to live long. Right now I'm in my mid-30s and I really really want to die before I'm 50. Sooner the better. Just waiting for that family member to pass. God I hope they don't live till they're 90s... If by the time I reach the age of 50 and they're still not gone yet I may just say fuck it and CTB anyway, depending on circumstances. But overall I think around age 55 is my absolute max limit on how old I'm willing to get before CTB.
