What if you died today? Would you be happy with the way you lived your life?

[Slow_Farewell]

Not happy. I'd cut myself some slack and say i did what I could but I could have done things a bit differently or better.

 

[Abyssal]

I feel no regret towards anything in my life, I have been ready to die since day one. I'd like a bit longer but it'd be okay if I died today.

 

[uzuf86]

I will be happy that I died. I am very unhappy with the way I lived my life, because of all the extreme mental health issues I've had to live with.
I lost so much time, so many relationships and so many positive experiences that I could never have again.
Might as well call myself a loser for all of that, I can't ever imagine there can be another single pathetic life on this planet like mine

 

[Ernest1964]

Happy? I'm NEVER happy. I think I would be content that what I could do to help make this place a little bit better than when I arrived, I tried to do... for the most part.
Happy? I'm NEVER happy. Would I be content? I think that I would be because I genuinely feel that I would be leaving this place a little bit better than when I arrived.

 

[Raven2]

No, massive regrets in life, mental health messed up a pretty okay life. It's all gone to shit now and I cant fix it.

 

[throneofdispair03]

it really doesn't matter. we'll all be dead anyway no matter how we've lived our lives

 

[NewtBoy]

Absolutely not. I'm so ashamed of myself and how I've done so far in my life.

 

[TransientEternal]

I wouldn't care. Death takes all. The past has nothing to do with you anymore.

 

[theRetroHawk]

Yeah this is one of the biggest factors for me as I'm 20 now but honestly feel like I'm pretty much satisfied with life I have had an amazing childhood I suppose and such and now I'm just realizing it's time to put in my 40 or more years of work with the probability of dying before retirement or not being able until I'm too old to enjoy it yeah I'll just take my chances and say I've lived great and kinda ready to just go now without paying back my debt. Yes it's selfish but I cannot motivate myself to be excited for the rest of my life to be a slave to big corporations

 

[Chemical Animal]

Definetly not.

I wasted all my life with distracting myself from my shitty reality and dysfunctional family through videogames and spending too much time in front of a computer or in a phone.
Social awkwardness and social anxiety deprived me from having the experiences that every normal teenager had, and now at age 28 it's impossible for me to make up for the lost time.
Undiagnosed conditions/mental illnesses made me fail the exams of the universities I wanted to get into, I studied hard only to forget about 60% of what I studied in the exam days.
Parents, some relatives and random people saying I'm """""smart""""", only for me ending up in a minimum-wage job, doing heavily manual work.
Decisions that turned out to be either wrong or shitty.
Efforts I put on stuff that amounted to nothing.
The bad memories heavily outweighs the good ones.

All of this haunts me everyday. I can only be happy again if I got my memory erased completely.

 

[ringo99]

Not at all. But I'm past caring

 

[huphup]

Yeah, I wish my life ended when I got depressed, but I would be ok with that.

It is the quality instead of quantity of life after all according to Seneca. I don't think extending my shit life would be better.

 

[cold_severance]

no, i don't have a single happy day in my life. even if i magically get better and live to old age, having around half of my life spent in total misery would make every good thing worthless.

 

[ropearoundatree]

Yes, there was no-thing I could have done differently: to change the (significantly) the outcome of events...

 

[Linda]

Not entirely, as I have about another 2 years to go before I complete my life's work. After that, yes.

 

[rozeske]

The life I lived makes me very very very sad but am catching the bus soon anyways.

 

[UserHussein]

Well no and that's why I find myself on this forum. I had ample opportunity and privileges to make something of myself and I thew it in the bin so that I could watch YouTube and play computer games, and now I'm suffering from the accumulated bad karma which resulted out of my laziness.

 

[Praestat_Mori]

If I die naturally today I'm able to say I lived my life. I'm glad I did a lot of things that I would not be able to do now anymore.

 

[Adûnâi]

I never regret anything, but I never lived. I'm a genetic abomination, an autistic loner, full of hate and derision. Too bad nobody can even know how much hate I have because I never leave my room.

 

[BlackBlood6]

I was happy for maybe 2 out of 30 years the way I remember things.
In the end I feel beyond hopeless, hurt, betrayed and very pissed off at myself and others. Mainly the one's who I trusted who had power over my mental health treatment. It's like they purposely did me in. Not how I want to leave things. But i've tried too long to fix something that can't be fixed. My situation/life/brain.
Honestly, whatever.

 

[Manfrotto99]

No, very shameful, wasteful and miserable existence. Only compensation is I feel i gave it my best shot. A few really bad decisions but I understand why I made them at the time. Given the environmental conditions, my nature and upbringing, I doubt anything I did or didn't do would of made any difference.
