I'd say so, but I can't speak for everyone.

That's a really good way of putting it. The life I want is unattainable. Reminds me of this meme:

What is the life you want, if you don't mind me asking?
To work and support myself financially, live alone, have savings, have a relationship or hookups. I can attract women, but I don't pursue because I'm broke and you can't approach at the grocery store.

Maybe. I think "settling" can be admirable, but I also think refusing to compromise can be admirable. I "just" want contentedness in life, which is a tall order.

That's a lot more attainable than my goals, and yet it's so far away. However, I'm in the same boat, I can't have even that either. I suffer from autism and multiple other disabilities and I rely on my family even at the age of 21. It's sad. But even if I could work and live independently, I don't see how I could do it. The prices of housing and necessities such as food are skyrocketing, but wages stay the same. The standard 40 hour work week barely gets you anything nowadays, and when people rightfully express their anger, the greedy capitalists say shit like "you must be just lazy".

I can't attract women, broke or not. I'm just too damn ugly. I have a face only a mother could love.

Attracting women in itself is a tease from life unless it can actually turn into something. Your hell is you can't attract. My hell is I can but lose them every time when they discover my issues which doesn't take long. It's always just out of reach like trying to grasp water while it slips through your hand every time.

Its better to be dead regardless, even if easily obtainable life's moments are ephemeral and enduring the ills of the world for a chance to chase the fleeting good moments is simply a waste of time

For me- yes. I'm quite an all-or-nothing sort of person. Depends on the person though. Depends on how much they are willing to compromise. Also depends on how unrealistic their life goal is.

Every time I thought I had gotten something in my life I believed would make me content; it didn't. Everything was perverted, twisted into something else like a genie granting a wish.

I could try again, find it in another time and place but I'm just exhausted. And I have no reason to believe the same thing wouldn't just happen again.

Personally, yes. However, I'm finding that if had attained the life I wanted, I'd be part of the grand delusion. I'd be part of the problem. I'd be helping it. So, achieving what I wanted would, ultimately, make me regret it unless I was just so firmly planted in the delusion that I didn't care. I'd be a prisoner just like most everyone else. Sure, I'd have the things I wanted, but I'd now be a part of the global hamster wheel. I'd be helping to maintain power over myself and the masses. I'd be worried about HOA's, backwards politics, a corrupt healthcare system, and trying to eek out a meager existence like everyone else. Just because I'm self-terminating doesn't mean it's my only option. I'm CHOOSING this. I'm in a state of peace, joy, and happiness. I'm not in a "dark place". I have mental health issues because of trauma, but my suicidality is not a mental health issue.

But, yeah, I think it's wise to leave if I cannot attain the life I strived towards for MANY years, only for those struggles and pains to be made ash in my mouth.

Well I guess your right, and quite frankly I would say I've got a good life and had a good upbringing and well Im still suicidal so I don't quite feel that weather or not the life you want is attainable is really gonna be a determining factor… at least it isn't for me.

my day to day life has been filled with this very question. even if i work hard, and follow my ambitions, i will never be allowed to do the things that would make life worth living, so why am i still alive? it feels pointless.

Imo, it very much depends. For some people something very fundemantal is missing and no matter what happens they can't feel content. I had a friend say that exact sentence to me who had a seemingly ordinary life yet he was suicidal. Personally it's quite the opposite and if all of my problems magically got resolved, I'd no longer wanna kill myself.

U won't remember anything of the so called good life after you stop existing.

Nothing that a human does or does not do will matter in 100 years 500 years. Because nothing will remain of that small human no memories , nothing.

Lets travel into the future 1000 years. Will that thing u do matter then?

Nothing matters. I'm a nihilist.

It's better to not exist because u can't feel pain or suffering while not existing. While alive a human can and Will suffer and feel extreme pain

I think it's always preferable to not exist, I don't understand how anyone could see existence as being appealing and desirable in the first place. As humans all we are doing is just waiting around to die where all that's inevitable is even more suffering, loss and decay. Existence repulses me especially as there's unlimited potential to be tormented, I could never be delusional enough to want to be tortured by old age and that's all that existing leads to. To cease existing certainly is the only relief in this hellish reality.
