What are the pettiest reasons you want to CTB?

[peacefulsleepnow]

I hate having to respond to emails, phone calls, and texts. Hate. It.

My crush has a crush on someone else who seems to be returning their feelings and it just sucks for me lol good for them tho
And I also do NOT enjoy the idea of job hunting after I possibly graduate. The job market looks scary and terrible ! :(

 

[Captive_Mind515]

I have lots of serious reasons.

I tend to think when you add up all of the petty annoyances and everyday frustrations, they're no longer petty reasons... collectively that's your reality and if you hate it then that's good enough.

Also, in terms of the right to die, I don't think there is any reason too small for justifying someone's exit. We should be permitted to do it for any reason we wish... or no reason at all. "Oh it's monday... I hate mondays... oh well I'm out" lol

But lets see... the pettiest... oh yes, we can't eat anything we want... because it will lead to obesity and bad health etc. And the best tasting food is invariably the stuff that is the worst for us. And also exercising sucks... it just does. I do it because I have to, and I always feel like I'm some sort of masochist embracing suffering. Then I look at someone else with better genetics, and they seem to enjoy it and get fit really easily. That shit is just really annoying... lol

Shaving , I just really detest the way it makes my face feel and I dread it

My bathroom is so cold in winter I dread showers

Waiting in general. For public transport , in any kind of queue.

Making small talk or being forced into small talk by intrusive people

Pettiest reason? Probably the art I make hardly getting any recognition. I have dozens of reasons for wanting to CTB, most of them are serious reasons, but hardly anyone caring about my art would be the "least" reason for me wanting to CTB. It sucks when I put a lot of effort into my work only to get like two comments and then everyone forgets about it. Makes me feel defeated and worthless and I ask myself "what's the point?"

Edit: Also being ignored almost all the time in the two Discord servers with 100-ish users in them that I'm in. Just yesterday I teased a screenshot of some artwork I had made. Nobody reacted to it, nobody commented on it. Nothing. Nobody gives a shit.

i get what you mean, it wouldn't be my primary reason to CTB but god is it annoying

i always wanted to be an artist growing up but quickly discarded that as a pipe dream, like many do with the first few jobs they think about as a kid

but for a short while, especially in my tweens, it turned out to be a very powerful hobby, a way i could connect to others despite poor social skills

it kind of became the only type of person i knew how to be, because people wouldn't acknowledge me for much anything else, and a primary part of my identity, sometimes i'd even write stories to go along with my art or with art in-mind & i was told i'm an even better writer than i am a visual artist

now my art just seems to rot (not even birthday art for others seems worth-it due to how little people are impressed nowadays) or make me vulnerable to mockery, & machines can produce art better than i ever could. what's the point? & if i create art for myself, a phrase i've never understood, than why even bother doing it? the ideas & concepts are already there in my head where they're doing all the impressing they apparently possibly ever could. literally what is the point? i just wanted friends & to connect with others & it can't even do that for me anymore. it just takes up a lot of pointless space.

 

[heydude56]

I just don't wanna live this boring meaningless life

 

[e!kent]

Escape the pressure of responsibilities and work. Also missing my ex

 

[musingsofaghost]

My manager is a mega bitch so I'd love to CTB and make my family invite everyone from the workplace, except for her :P

 

[vyvanceandvodka]

Medical debt. Makes me want to kill myself every day.

It made a duplicate thread, I was wondering where my post was. There's another thread with this exact name.

Yes yes yes

 

[impossible_victory]

I hate working. I won't feel suicidal if i had good health and enough money to live with 2-4 dogs

 

[LittleSunshine]

To escape the endless echo of days repeating themselves.

[yeaimhere13]

im extremely lazy. i dont want to work, maintain a social life, take care of myself, etc. and laying in bed all day doesnt feel great either.

 

[shadow_sunset]

You wanted petty? I'll give you petty. I hate my feet. Like they're ugly and I don't feel feminine, also I could stand in Walmart for 10 minutes and find like 100 girls that look better than me. I'm not ugly I wouldn't say at least not WTF IS THAT?? Type ugly but hurts im not stunning. Just mid, even with all the right conditions.

Well, why don't you share some of your art with us? Your profile picture and profile banner are beautiful so it's safe to assume your art is just as refined as your aestethic sense.

Also, don't mourn over not getting recognition on a discord servers of all places, there are way better places to show your art.

I just want to add, for all you people fearing getting old who are under 35, much like people in the 1950s couldn't have ever fathomed touchscreen cell phones and the Internet the way it is now, people from 2000 will not be able to fathom the anti-aging technology available in 2050. Much of aging occurs because of epigenetics, an excess of cellular trash not being cleaned out, and certain biological systems not being repairable. By 2050, they may regrow organs, they may be able to clean up cellular trash easily, they may have pills that make skin look forever 21. in the same way that pre-Ozempic there were fat people, and now, if someone can afford Ozempic they don't have to be fat, in the future there may be similar advances for aging and they are likely to happen quickly. Many scientists are aggressively working on these problems and previous issues that slowed down the science, ie protein folding modeling that is very difficult to figure out, can be helped with technology and AI. If you think you're able to live 25 years, aging may not be the same anymore in 2050. If that's not your only reason, if there's something other than aging or health, then this doesn't apply. Most people under 35 who don't commit suicide will not have died of natural causes by 2050.

I can't be bothered with most things that involve having to work, wish I could do nothing but sleep

Visual art has changed so much since the 80's when painting & sculpture were valued and had established criteria of merit.
Post-modernism gave way to this shock of the new where preserved sharks in fish tanks, 'witty-graffitti', & the contents of people's bedrooms began fetching huge prices at auction.

The cleverness of AI film and imagery sets a very high bar for people outside the art world to appreciate the subtle qualities of the hand-made.
Like trying to get someone who binges TikTok to watch a classic film.

However, no-one ever thought vinyl would become collectable.
Sculpture, the most traditional of visual art has found a new political role (Epstien/Trump : A never ending friendship), I only buy watercolours by known and outsider artists as amazing buys can be had.

I worked in a gallery as a tech, and saw that artists rarely get worse, so do what pleases you hey because in the end we do this for ourselves, not for some critic.

1 year breakup because I told her she will only be the person until I die

 

[rainatthebusstop]

I have considered ctbing in places near and around people who were absolute dicks to me in the hope that my rotting corpse will haunt them for the rest of their lifes.

No explanation, no letters, just corpse in a state of decay

 

[asgoodasdead]

We all have our more serious reasons, traumas and whatever for wanting to CTB. But what are your pettiest reasons?

For me:
* I do not want to stay alive only for my teeth to decay and have to go to dental appointments / spend a fortune.
* Life just feels like a series of meaningless chores that I hate. Cut your nails. Shop for groceries. etc.

My parents (and family in general) are pretty superstitious and whatever (I hate them for other reasons too). It would be pretty funny to watch them freak out over the littlest things as they could interpret it as a bad spirit (me) doing something. Also, it's just a different way to get back at them.

 

[Zaphkiel]

I'm lonely
idk if it's petty but it's the only reason.
Maybe it's petty because i could make the effort to meet people but it feels so hard, and after you've met people making a connexion feels impossible, we're still strangers and...well...still alone.
Other than that i have my own home and i work a decent job, and i have a cat so i know i'm not in the worst situation but the feeling of emptyness is there, and i fear holidays and retirement. What will i do? Even at christmas and new year i was all alone

 

[SpencerSees]

I was yelled at for very trivial things growing up (such as skipping showering or brushing my teeth once in a while), so I think it'd be funny to say I did it because of something so trivial too

Aside from making my abusers feel like shit?

When I was a kid and said I wanted to be an artist, my older brother said artists "only make money after they die". So, I'd want to see if he's right. He's not, but still, these are petty reasons, so...
