Venting Life is scarier than death

[Aiko_]

I'm only 19 and feel stuck. Slowly getting older, not knowing what will be waiting for me. I thought death was scary, because we don't know what happens when you're dead. But then I realized it's the same with life. It's the unknown that scares me so much. But with life it's even more scary, because people except so much, how do you live in society when you can't be part of it? I don't wanna go to school nor work. Atleast death will free me from that pressure.

I personally don't find death to be scary at all as I personally believe that after death is just permanent non existence. Though I do think that life is incredibly scary. Just like you, I also don't want to work or deal with education. I'm so annoyed at how I'm forced to be a wage slave when I never even consented to being born in the first place. Life is incredibly cruel and unfair

Death is neutral, life is complicated

Exactly, I was bought on this planet, just to slave away, until I die? That shit is scary.

Literally. The 99% of us were born on this planet to slave away and die. The remaining 1% are lucky and are truly free to do what they want. I don't understand why people say that adulthood is freedom when I think that adulthood is slavery. There's nothing free about being an adult and tackling on so many responsibilities. It's scary that this is all our lives amount to. We are just born to slave away until death

Yeah, it's just, what is true freedom? Is it even possible to achieve that in the world we live in? What is it to be completely free? Is death our ticket to complete freedom?

Cuz why was I put on this earth, just to be a puppet? I have nowhere to go now, I graduated a year ago, and now they except me to work or continue my education. But I don't know if I have that in me.

J'ai seulement 19 ans et je me sens coincée. Je vieillis lentement, sans savoir ce qui m'attend. Je pensais que la mort était effrayante, parce que nous ne savons pas ce qui se passe quand on est mort. Mais ensuite, j'ai réalisé que c'est pareil avec la vie. C'est l'inconnu qui me fait le plus peur. Mais avec la vie, c'est encore plus effrayant, parce que les gens s'attendent à tant de choses : comment vivre dans la société quand on ne peut pas en faire partie ? Je ne veux ni aller à l'école ni travailler. Au moins, la mort me libérera de cette pression.

You are not old AT 19

Freedom is overrated, you can have all the freedom in the world and still want to be dead

I fear life so much more than death

Life is definitely scarier than death. I also believe death is just permanent non-existence. But life…

I'm almost 30 and don't have a full-time job and don't want to go back to school / don't know what to go back to school for that would lead to a job afterwards. I'm entirely dependent on my parents for the roof over my head and the food I eat and my cellphone and everything else. But they won't be around forever. Once they're gone, I'm terrified of ending up homeless in the cold winters.

Non-existence seems far less scary to me than the idea of living on the streets with nothing and no one to turn to.
