Discussion If not dead, where do you see yourself in the next few years?

[L9 CHOCOSYRUP]

not too sure personally, was curious about other people

 

[drag201]

Moving out and probably working some deadbeat job, in the best case scenario maybe with enough money to graduate college. It's hard to imagine anything beyond when I'm planning to die though

 

[Imagined_Euphoria]

I see no alternative. The last year especially is just endless thoughts about death.

 

[sos]

if not dead, i'll see myself not dead in a few years

yeah idk lol

might be a millionaire
might be homeless
might be closer than death than i am now
might be the host of a ted talk to talk about ctb
or might be the author of the book "how to fail at ctb"

i wouldnt mind having such a book, i could definitely write a couple of interesting things in there

mmm

 

[MatrixPrisoner]

I can't even bear to think about it. I really hope I'm on the bus by then. The thought of still being alive by then is making my blood pressure rise. I might start hyperventilating in a minute here.

 

[divinemistress87]

Still rotting away on my couch

Grind through college, be an accountant. Or fail and work at McDonald's while living at home or something equally pitiful

 

[wCvML2]

Still stuck in my parents' house that's for sure, but I'll probably return to uni to try escaping the monotony and boredom of dead-end jobs.

I have no idea honestly. My money is on dead in all honesty. I guess traveling. Probably doing endurance sports that type of thing.

 

[SteamaHorns]

Most likely the same as I am now, but in a worse emotional and mental state. Either that or I'd have moved in with my dad which I think would be worse. Then there's that tiny perceived possibility that I might be in a better situation. Realistically, nothing would really change which is why I've given up.

 

[Steff1337]

If not dead, it's hard to imagine where I see myself in the next few years, but probably just in severe pain still, and more and more losing the support I currently have.

 

[pomcustard]

Probably still a dependent burden but with a much worse mental and emotional state. I hope I won't have to see the next few years.

 

[Nefera]

Obsessively overemployed as to not have any time left for my brain to start thinking about the past

 

[dying flower]

I am too old to even consider another 5 years of this torture

 

[No More Tears]

I don't plan on making it another year. One way or the other, I will be gone by the end of this year.

 

[AbsurdAbyss]

still dead, ignored and forgotten - if that doesn't kill me nothing will.

 

[Kish]

If I'm still alive I can see myself ending up homeless living on the streets like a beggar one day I'll probably die in the street because of hunger

 

[sovcat]

If not dead, then probably still working a dead-end job and still suicidal af.

 

[-nobodyknows-]

No idea. Hopefully if I'm not dead that means I've found someone.

 

[borderlinee]

Probably being a NEET.

I worked in a nursing home . Another thing they have hidden is how bad it can usually get as the human body gets very old . Young people have no concept of how bad it is . Even here some have told me how good life is . They've got another thing coming they have no idea. Life is hell extreme torture prison slavery an evil imposition

 

[Uninfluential_Karma]

Probably attempting again- Ok, fineeeee, if I have to. Likely moved out and living with my best friend with a few pets and going to college to become a hospice nurse. (Death is going to happen so why not make it part of my life somehow if I have to live?)

 

[lawlietsph]

I was trying to think about it for a second. But honestly if I think about being here for more and more years, my chest hurts and my heart is like 'no, please, please no...'
I can't see myself in the future. I am having an extremely hard time accepting my age, getting old and feeling old.
If I think about the years ahead of me, all I see is pain. Slight crumbs of hope, then pure hell again.
Ohshit, I don't want to live years and years and years more. No...
I don't want to see how everything is falling apart in my life and the world too.
No, I don't even want to think about it

 

[Dr Iron Arc]

Oh god if I'm not dead in a few years then I better be having a girlfriend at that point or else I will make sure everybody else wants me dead anyway by whining about it even more than I already do.

 

[Metalhead]

Homeless, living in a forest somewhere.

 

[ringo99]

Unemployed, destitute, alone, homeless and slowly dying of malnutrition

I worked in one as well and there is no way l will be going into one

 

[FuneralCry]

Suffering in this painful, hopeless existence just wishing to not exist. It terrifies me how the torturous burden of human existence could potentially continue for so long, I wish I could just cease existing and eternally forget about it all, I only wish to not exist, I'd never wish to experience anything no matter what, existing as a conscious being has only ever caused me to suffer and I fear how there is no limit as to how unbearable this can get, I'm not meant for existing at all.

 

[derpyderpins]

Hopefully sitting right here in my recliner with my coffee but more money in the bank and even less time spent on my job. More remote work would be great. I've learned that I could realistically actually "work" 3-4 hour days and hold a full job if I didn't have to go to the office, with the occasional late night (although those tend to be my favorites anyway because it's high stakes argument.)

 

[blacksand]

My career and relationship were ruined by covid in early 2020 and I had to move back in with my parents where I've been stuck since that time in this small town. I'd be happy to just move out and work a shitty job at this point- I've given up on ever getting back into my career field. But living at home has gone from being a kind of novelty as a 24yo to being a great burden and stigma as someone now pushing 30.

With that said, I think its doubtful I'll last till the end of next year.
