Just don't like anything

[Faustus]

Why people can't accept that? I don't like to travel, I don't like to work, I don't like sex or love, I don't like to sleep, I don't like to stay awake, I don't like food, I don't like social interactions, I don't like nature, I don't like the sea or the mountains, I don't like *put anything in here*.

I just want to die because I'm bored and sad, I have no reason to live at all because I don't like anything in life, why it's so hard to understand?

 

[amnesianamnesis]

I can understand that. In therapy, in hospitals, my family, they ask me to talk about things that I enjoy doing. I'm bored, always, I don't find things fulfilling, it doesn't matter what I'm doing. I think it's difficult to understand when people can't relate to that. Those who enjoy things like traveling, who find looking at trees and sprawling on grass therapeutic, who have a social battery they need charged-tend to generalize. Maybe people just generalize, sometimes people decided hot yoga will save everyone, but perhaps not being able to enjoy things just doesn't make sense to most so they can't accept that it's a default setting, and it will be seen as treatable.

 

[LaVieEnRose]

Because that kind of emotional state is foreign to most people. Not liking life is a perfectly valid reason to quit it, though it's in your interest to see if whether that's a treatable symptom of depression first before choosing to go.

Anhedonia is real. This world really isn't that interesting. Everything is just sensationalized and commercialized. Do away with the hype and cinematic flair and Life is quite a boring and bleak film to be trapped in.

 

[Rogue Proxy]

Not only is the majority incapable of understanding lack of pleasure, they are unwilling to comprehend this concept or respect your wish for nonexistence since these ideas are counterproductive to the humans' ulterior motives. Deep down, most humans will view you as just a damaged good, and expect and demand that you fix yourself to serve the "greater good" (i.e. all the humans around you) for decades. At the end of the day, pleasure is just a motivator for most animals to survive and reproduce as long as possible.

 

[BreathOnAMirror]

Does this feeling of apathy come and go or is it a constant in your life? I've definitely gone through phases where nothing interests me, but usually they subside after a while and I find at least one thing I can enjoy for a time, and in the past couple years, even when everything seems dull, I can at least always get some enjoyment out of some good music and a nature walk under the stars, but I'm sure that doesn't work for everyone. If this is a feeling that persists I can totally see why you'd want to go, being in it for a week felt exhausting, I can't imagine living in it your entire life.

 

[FuneralCry]

Your feelings are certainly understandable, to me it makes sense to feel that way. In my case, I've never wished to exist at all and I've never seen existing as being something beneficial or valuable. It's a tedious burden having to be here and having the ability to be aware of all this. I despise having to exist in every single way and existing isn't a desirable thing at all to me, I wouldn't want any kind of life. But I do think that it's true that some people are simply not meant for existing and that is the way that I feel. I don't want to think about or experience any of this, for me life itself will always be the problem, so only to leave this world could be the solution for me. There is nothing appealing about passing the time just to age and inevitably deteriorate which is all that life is.

 

[Wormfood]

I can totally relate. I have no interest in the future. I don't want to get up, I'm sick of going through the motions, sick of this routine, sick of being miserable, sick of procrastination, sick of everything. I just want to sleep and never wake up.

 

[wait.what]

I can totally relate. I have no interest in the future. I don't want to get up, I'm sick of going through the motions, sick of this routine, sick of being miserable, sick of procrastination, sick of everything. I just want to sleep and never wake up.

This. Exactly this. I'm just so damn tired. Not sleepy tired. Weary tired. I'm sick to death of forcing myself to function when everything is so boring and tedious.

You know what the most boring thing on earth is? Self-care. Oh, it's time to brush my teeth for the quadrillionth time. Yippee. I've spent entire days paralyzed because I couldn't be arsed to get up and bathe. Human bodies are such a curse. Probably all bodies are. Like I don't think I'd feel better if I were suddenly transformed into a badger or something.

I used to enjoy many things, now I enjoy nothing

 

[locked*n*loaded]

Depression can have that effect on a person.

 

[Unending]

I only like things that have a variety that concerns pain and suicide. Music, visual art, articles, movies, videos, etc. I don't think I like anything else except for caffeine and nicotine (sometimes).

 

[damaged_soul]

The thing for me is that there are some things I like, but those things alone don't make my life worth living. The enjoyment I get from those things pales in comparison to the sadness and distress I got from traumatic events. The way I see it, the things I like are just what I do to hold me over in the meantime while I'm waiting to kill myself.

My thoughts exactly. While I do have some things I enjoy, they are nothing special, not many in number and not a significant factor to motivate me to keep living just for the sake of them.
