Discussion Life is Terrifying

[ARW3N]

You need to eat in order to survive which means you can't just sit on a wall and relax for one moment. You have to work for a "living." There are countless viruses like COVID which make life a terrifying experience. You are forced to socially interact with people who you don't necessarily want to interact with. Forced to pay taxes. Life is a constant struggle despite all the convenience of technology. There's not a moment of respite. The point of life is that there is no point at all. Perhaps death is the point.

 

[IWantToSleep]

Yeah, it's very stressful. I often feel weak-minded as the smallest things can set me off.

 

[LucaChangretta]

You're right, in fact the only purpose in life is to die sooner or later

 

[AutoTap]

Yes life is suffering. I'm so tired I can't live life. I'm so anxious I can't live life. I'm so depressed I can't live life.. list goes on..


just living itself takes a lot of effort. Especially with mental or physical issues. :/

Yes, everything we do in life is a distraction from the inevitability of death and decay.

 

[Wrennie]

And the fact that there are some mistakes you can never take back, especially when it comes to your body. We are only granted one vessel with which to navigate this life for the entirety of our time on earth, and if we or someone else happens to damage it we will likely be forced to live with the consequences of that damage for the remainder of our lives. Living to feel our bodies slowly degenerate while our minds remain intact to process the horrors that are being inflicted upon us. We are granted no means of escape aside from death, and our brains are wired to fear death above all else, making it a virtually impossible feat to attain salvation from our prisons of flesh.

 

[WornOutLife]

You're goddamn right.
Life scares the sh*t out of me.
Hope death is a better place.

 

[sadworld]

Existence is terrifying.

 

[nora.]

the purpose of life is to have happiness, and create happy memories. the fact that not having these chemicals to create happiness, means you cannot enjoy life, scares me. people only live because they are happy. life is using this as bait to make people stay. our body also does not want us to die. life itself is such a lie and a trap.

 

[Mistake of Nature]

I'm filled with terror and dread during every waking moment. Thoughts of all the horrific things that have, could, or will happen swirl around in my head constantly, making living utterly exhausting.

There will be no peace until death, and the worst part is that we are forced to overcome thousands upon thousands of years of evolution and endure even more suffering to achieve that peace.

Life is nothing but a sick, pointless, and cruel joke.

 

[Going Home]

Some of these feelings I have right now are scary. I've never had such intense feelings about another human being.

 

[Hazeltwentysomething]

I have no belief in an afterlife so it's very comforting to think that once I CTB I won't have to deal with any of these above mentioned pressures. Life is a blipt of energy and motion between two points of non-existence. I've had my fill.

 

[Deleted member 17949]

That first sentence hit so hard for some reason. This always bother me, I can't let myself rest and cope, I need to keep doing things to prevent my life from falling apart and I can never fully stop until I die.

 

[Desdemona]

What scares me is at any moment your body can just say "nope" and you'll get some horrible crippling invisible chronic illness that leaves you in horrible pain all the time. If it's invisible good luck finding a competent doctor to help or getting aid from the government when you're unable to work

I feel every year life just beats me down even more and more and it piles on and on. I've stopped thinking to myself that things can't get worse because they always do
