Is it better to be dead if the life you want is unattainable?

[Elysion]

We were not born by our own choice. Our birth was forced to be selfish for a moment. Now you are in the world and you have the right to choose, if you have a hard and bad life but you are proud to be alive, it is a sign that you are a slave of your instinct and brain. Death is for everyone and it happens one day, so death is right, but the bad life is unjust.

what i want is unattainable and I've been forcing things and failing so for me yes , it's the only way i'll find peace

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:

On a side note, your profile picture is really pretty.

that literally me right now , sadly i tried forcing things and it didin't work , i can't accept reality , so my only option is the third one

Currently the life I want is just a dream now which leaves me frustrated and miserable and a few disabilities alongside, combine that with a shitty social life and dysfunctional family that I still have to bear with. I think ctb is the best option in this case.

See I think it's really tough when you've experienced a life you want but then had it taken away from you. like what do you go back to?

That describes my situation. When I moved out, my life fell apart. My teen years I felt safe and was pretty happy.

?

yes

 

[internetgirl]

to me depends. If I can get close to my dreams than maybe it's still worth it, I can find something else to live for. But if what I truly really want is completely unattainable than I'd rather not spend so much time and effort on something that'll lead nowhere

I think that depends on the person and what they want. It's very different to want say a penthouse than to want the pain to stop. Some people choose to go on and others can't.

 

[not-2-b-the-answer]

Yes!!!!

I've thought about this often and I Personally think it's worth death, as pathetic some may see that to be, there's genuinely no way I will have a beautiful three story mansion with a deck infront of my bed looking over my football field sized yard with a forest at the edge leading around the entire thing leaving one long driveway that leads out into more forest and hedges closing off a part of my backyard with a garden inside an I'd have lil patterned pathways with a gazebo in the middle of all of it, im going to stop because as you may be able to tell I could go on an on but you get the point, thought about becoming a sugarbaby or having an OF or making tapes of sorts or a stripper or even joining sites with rich men wanting a young wife to spoil but at the end of the day I just couldn't do any of those kinda things since it's just against my own morals

 

[Pidgeons_Sparrows]

for me yes

 

[InSearchOfLess]

Why are you suicidal?

Im not suicidal because woe is me or anything like that, rather since I was young I've adopted the Idea that I'm going to die someday and thats out of my hands I might as well die by my hands not because life gets hard but simply when Im ready. I have a good life but that hasn't been enough to stop me from wanting do die.

 

[lyfsoverrated]

Everything is pointless to me, so yes, and i wish i died a very long time ago

 

[EndJstifiesTheMeans]

yes

I know right...

 

[Hunter2005]

Yes because living with hope is bad

This is a key point. Having a good life, or even everything you want, won't necessarily make you happy. It's more a matter of attitude, or perhaps brain chemistry.
