What would make you want to live?

[dragonofenvy]

Human connection and love, so that I could finally feel seen. I don't think it'd heal the past fully but it would at least motivate me to make improvements for the future. Even if I kept the same job for the same low pay for the rest of my life I think I might be okay.

 

[passthisnote]

i never have to age or work again a day in my life

 

[Spite]

- Never having to work a job ever again
- Having lots of money
- Having friends/a social circle
- Having a 'normal' brain and not being autistic
- Having a family that loves me no matter what
- If I had the ability to go back in time, with the knowledge I have now, and be able to fix my past mistakes

 

[StarryEyed]

I would be able to walk.

The memories of traumas would be either erased or processed.

I would have no more mental illness or physical illness - or they would be manageable.

I could work.

People would understand me.

I could move back to my home country and it would be the way it was when I was young.

The world would be safer and kinder for everyone, especially the vulnerable - young, old and disabled.

People would stop fighting over who is right and who is wrong and focus instead on finding common ground and enjoying that - or learn to live separately.

...

Yeah, so just a few things would change my mind

 

[WalmartSoap]

Someone who would love me unconditionally, in every form I'm in.

 

[TwistedNightmares]

- Having enough money to last me a lifetime (and by extension, enough money to buy myself a home)
- Having a family that's actually functional rather than dysfunctional
- All my mental illnesses and disabilities gone (I wish this for my whole family as well, to be honest)
- Being able to live comfortably with my partner in the same country
- The cost of living not being so high
- Politicians not being corrupt
- Having a goal/purpose in life, rather than just living aimlessly
- Have real life friends that actually want to spend time with me

 

[nettspend]

A normal, well-functioning brain would be a start.

 

[Vera1997]

Becoming a cis woman, or atleast going back in time 15 years ago to transition before puberty.

Both are never gonna happen

 

[never mind me]

Getting my health back, i.e. being able to speak normally without pain and not having almost constant throat pain.

 

[The Eternal One]

I feel like nothing would ever change my mind. Not to mention, I don't want to come back to this plane of existence at all, under any circumstances. Comparatively to others my life isn't even that bad. I'm just dead set on dying by my own hand, I guess.
In general I feel like an extremely old soul. Some deep part of me had enough of this place a long time ago and is tired of it as a concept. Nothing good or bad can sway me either way. At least that's how I've been experiencing things my entire life. Maybe, my views are bound to change in the future, I just wouldn't know.

 

[suncide10]

Love

 

[lilyistootired]

Stability and freedom from having to independently think. If I could just exist without having to think or worry because that part of life was handled I might be happy enough to want to stay alive. Yes money's part of that, but money alone doesn't solve the fact I'd still have to orchestrate how to do everything to function and that's exhausting and more effort than being alive is worth.

Being alive but constantly having to make sure you do nothing wrong lest you ruin your life and be hated and worthless isn't much better than not existing, I wish I could live without constantly having to try to adjust and look over my shoulder for what's next. Already was unstable and then AI started fucking over the field I want to go into and that destroyed any remaining mental health.

 

[toyruin44]

Nothing really. I can't have a different me. I can never change or escape the ME that I am cursed to be forever. So what's the point? I just want to cease to exist. Why shouldn't I have the choice? *i* didn't choose to exist. That's it.

 

[hao☆]

If there is anything in your life that could change to make it worthwhile, what do you think it would be? For me if I had a lot of money and weren't super burnt out I would stay. But neither of those will ever happen lol

a happy life

 

[cry.lily]

If I didn't have persistent depression, that would help a lot. Maybe then I could find true joy in doing things instead of wanting to just sleep the days away.
Something more tangible that would increase my desire to live…probably having friends. I don't have friends and constantly feel like it's because I'm not a likable person.

 

[BurntToCinders]

This is actually a really weird question because...I don't really have an answer. I don't have a reason for wanting to CTB, which is weird. I just think I'm done, is all. I've got a good life, I just don't feel like I can keep living it is all.

I guess Destiny 1 on pc would keep me around for a bit though lol.

 

[SweetSunflower]

An actual Goal or purpose might make me consider not to ctb, everything and everyone in the current world to me feels useless and materialistic

 

[pk@2001]

I don't believe there are any more reason for me to continue in this world.
Given the fact, the body which I have inherited and how it's letting me down and even globally how things are shaping up,
It's like we are trying everything in the book to throw us back into the world war era, where only 'might is right' is the motto we're adopting..
For all these reasons, i don't even wish to see the day.
This was not the world which was promised to us.

 

[sands_of_time]

Money would definitely help though I have psychological, social and developmental issues still to deal with after that. Not sure about my physical health, and I cough and sneeze often.

 

[LigottiIsRight]

Not being human, with all its limitations and struggles. I'm done being this overrated crap.

 

[ZwartHartje]

If only my loved ones were alive, and staying alive, not at risk of getting murdered again.

 

[other_name]

not having to do anything ever again

nearly identical to being dead so i guess that's the second best thing

 

[NutOrat]

not having to do anything ever again

nearly identical to being dead so i guess that's the second best thing

Same, but with a slight correction I think you may agree with too:

not having to do anything I don't want to ever again

And maybe also having the strength and will to do the things I do want. Lately even that often feels impossible...

 

[no mas]

Kinda similar to OP less burnt out more money.

More connections and friends and community I can be authentic with.

Love in many forms.

To fucntion to live to have a life.

I don't think any of that shit is gonna happen anymore tho.

So thats that.

I feel similarly. Just a smide of hope and a rapidy fading dream remain. I'm older, poorer, and witout any family and friends. The little remaining life I have left is tenuous and has lost most of it's meaning. I've isolated myself for years now, somewhat out of choice, primarily due to the cold, indifferent, greed ridden, self centered, fake, fraudulent people in society I found myself smothered by..
A basic simple life is all I desire... ie. water, food, shelter, clothing, medical, energy and transportation. Agency. Confidant/trusted friend or partner, family, Good Health, Purpose, Passion, meaningful Contribution and Love. A few laughs and hugs would be icing on the cake.

 

[tiramisu]

nothing and no one can make me want to stay alive.

 

[canidiealreadyy]

If there is anything in your life that could change to make it worthwhile, what do you think it would be? For me if I had a lot of money and weren't super burnt out I would stay. But neither of those will ever happen lol

being able to leave my parents house and another chance at a relationship with my ex boyfriend. and maybe the ability to tell the future or go back in time and change the past.
