I am at 100% war with life. I don't want to be "happy". I hate life and wish I was never born. Life has wronged me, so being happy and wanting to live is giving up and letting life win, so no, life is not precious, it is a nightmare.

The thing is.. life might well be precious to some people, but it's subjective. Life should absolutely be optional. I'm 44, I've given it a good go and if I want to opt out now I should be allowed.

Wow! I really admire you! I can't believe I managed to live for 33 years but I will probably have a similar feeling as years go by.
Why can't we just be at peace? I just wanna understand the true meaning of life and know all of the answer but I bet I'm just an irrelevant number in this system, no special at all lol.
Life is precious pisses me off big time. Life is what you make it pisses me off too. People who say that mean well but they can't see or understand our invisible illness. We bean dealt a shit hand and somehow get through each day. We're tough living with fucked up minds. I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

I feel the same, though I know there's no way I could be happy in this world, everyday is a painful trek of trying to swim against the tide, eventually, you have to give up as you realize your efforts are pointless. Maybe as a young child still ignorant to how the world really works, but once you open your eyes to reality there's no going back.
I do think it's better to live in ignorance.

Take a shot whenever family/friends/your therapist(s)/the Internet mention(s):
-That life is precious/valuable/a gift/worth living etc.
-Anything along those lines
@WornOutLife If I had a therapist like yours I imagine myself blasted drunk at the end of the first session.

My therapist told me to grow up and take responsibility for my mental health. I couldn't go back for any more talks. I'd of got arrested for death by beating I'm sure lol
Yep. It does my head in. People really ain't got a clue. If we weren't in pain we wouldn't be contemplating ctb. We are in pain so are contemplating. The phrase is said like we can easily stop being suicidal. Like were just suicidal for the sake of it. We have deep rooted psychological pain ffs.

Life is not precious, whatever the meaning of precious is, there are many people who don't see it like that. How suffering is precious? How death is precious? They say that death is a part of life but if its precious then why people die inevitably and lose it?
Even if someone said their life is precious that's also not true. It could change at any moment into something else. And if its precious to them, they are also going to inevitably lose it at the end.

If life is what you make it then why don't these people give away all of their material possessions and go live in a third world country with chronic drought, famine, gunfire, and violence.

There are precious lives getting splattered against the wall daily. All of it for someone to grow their money pile by a centimeter. Superficial happiness, that makes people say something like "life is precious", while sipping iced tea on their veranda is also based on someone else's suffering in one way or another. Calling life a cutthroat rat race is flattering, frankly. Some rats, I suspect, are less miserable.

Most of us have heard these 3 words or something similar which at first sight seem nice.
Then, you realize that "Life is NOT precious" for everyone living on this planet.
I remember the first person who told me this phrase was my dad (unfortunately lol) when I was in my teens and I had told him I hated life.
Then, some years later, one of my ex gfs knew I wanted to ctb and told me exactly the same.
Lastly, my ex therapist uttered these "lovely" words too last year. (That's when I said to myself: Ok, this is enough. I'm not seeing her again).
None of the times they said those "terms" to me worked. I will never find life precious.
Sure, I've decided to live for now but I will always be suicidal. How can life be precious when there's lots of suffering in this world? Even innocent children die and unless there's a hell, it would seem it doesn't matter if you're a serial killer or a responsible citizen; you will all probably end up in the same place.
Thus, I totally disagree with this quote. What about "Life can be precious for SOME people"? Sounds much better IMO.
What about you? Have you ever been told that life is precious? What was your experience like?
This has to be the most uttered phrase in the English language. I believe you are correct , and for some it absolute is precious, but not all of us are destined to have that epiphany or zest for life.
What really makes me angry is coming across all the anti SS forums / posts / loved ones of previous users etc. All of them start in on this ideation you're referencing, and how we are evil monsters, but I guarantee they aren't pro life when it comes to that innocent fetus who doesn't have a voice. They wouldn't have enough compassion to realize a cancer ridden patient is just pumping poisons into their body in the hopes that they MAY go into remission for a couple of years, just maybe!
They will push this phrase down our throats because it fits their agenda and they are selfish, one sided and hypocritical. Where was all that love, concern, positive intent and understanding when their love one decided to seek us out? They came to us because you weren't doing your part as a support system, but rather shoving bullshit quotes and bible verses into their faces. Sorry, I didn't mean to jump onto the soapbox there, but it really enrages me that these morons think they have any idea what we have overcome, who we really are, or even what so many of us have to suffer through. They wouldn't be willing to swap places with us for even a second, yet they have the authority to tell us how to live and who to be, not knowing in the slightest how strong we have had to be in order to make it this far!
Im sure you'll find no shortage of agreements here, because it simply boils down to the quality of life of each individual. Not everyone gets to live on the Good Ship Lollipop, and they are just to blind to see it. Throwing false "inspiration" at us means they tried, right?! They really cared and did all that they could! Ugh, please. No, everyday is not a gift, precious, nor a blessing to all. It's just a hard reality that majority are unwilling to accept.

Damn, I've seen this happening so many times!
The dead one was always the "best person" in the world and nobody remembers what a sh*t that person maybe was lol.
I hate this "saying". But I don't have it in me to argue when someone says it. I just nod and stay quiet. If someone thinks life is precious, great for them I guess. But it's not the case for me. It never has been and it never will be. Life is shit. I hate being alive. I hate the fact that I was born. I hate existing. I truly do hate it here. Nothing anyone says or does will change the fact that I hate it here. But still, I don't care to argue about it with anyone. This is pretty much my take on convincing anyone of anything ever, including the fact that life is precious" is a fucking lie
