Why is the 27 club a thing?

[Volatile]

is it because people get burned out by life by their late 20s?

 

[bigj75]

yae I think so. That's how I feel. I'm about to turn 27. I had so much ambition at 17-20 age and in college cause it was the first time experiencing things in life. Now I've pretty much done everything. Some drugs, alcohol, women, blowing money, parties, small traveling, cooking, etc. Now I'm burnt out. Nothing really excites me anymore. Depressed as hell. I had a hobby/passion but it's gone due to health reasons so I have no will to live anymore.

I'm nearing 30 in a couple years. Life is dull and I have no interest in what the average person calls a life. Work then bed then repeat. Awful

 

[couldntthinkofaname]

its the time your youth ends

A lot celebrities died at that age

A lot celebrities died at that age

But WHY that age?

I don't know, ask them

I'm 20 rn, I was thinking about joining the club after completing several things off my bucket list. Can't see myself living to 30. However, as of late it seems as though I'm going to end it a lot sooner..

 

[bigj75]

I guess at this age would be the best time to start a family. It's the perfect age because you know pretty much everything and been through just about everything and you still have a little youth left. I've heard people say kids/family give them the will to live again. But I'm too depressed for that. I would probably kill myself and leave a wife and kids behind. No way I could do that to someone.

 

[Miss clefable]

Lol I'm 26 so yeah you got a point

you ever thought about having kids? I had a gf once and that gave me something to live for again.

If you still don't have a normal life in your late 20's then it's pretty much game over, IMO.
Me personally, I don't wanna be a 30 y/o NEET, absolutely miserable, still living in my mom's basement.

Make kids to give your life meaning? Is that what you're suggesting?

 

[Doctorj115]

I'm 27, I'll be 28 in 3 weeks.

I don't know if anyone has heard of Jordan Peterson, but he's a brilliant man and he talked about this once. It's because 27 is sort of the age when you make that final transition into adulthood

it's just from what I've seen. Having kids seem to make the suffering and hardship worth it all. That's what parents tell me.

Then look up antinatalism.
I'm not gonna discuss this further because this whole procreation topic is fucking triggering me like nothing else, lol.

 

[Brokenanddeadinside]

I'm 28 and am having mine so confused on my life and who I am and am currently living out of a car.

27 is when the human brain has long already been fully developed (actually 25 is when the brain is fully developed) but also after one has already lived through the vast majority of their youth as well as a small part of their long tedious adult life. I think people who are 27 years of age, has oftenly seen most of the world for what it is and more than old enough to make the decision on whether to continue living or not.

very true

My youth ended when I was 15

My mental problems are hereditary so no kids

 

[bigj75]

Damn. Understandable. Adoption maybe. I know its not the same .

 

[throwaway123]

I don't care about age. Everyone here wants to die, no matter the age.

 

[Volatile]

I was adopted. I'm a very broken person though. I'm anxious about myself. I don't want to be anxious regarding the safety of a child as well.

 

[PatKat]

I think its just coincidence honestly. I mean celebrities kill themselves at all ages its just a fad in my opinion.

Living out of a car sounds like Hell. How close are you to ctb you think?

 

[BlackDragonof1989]

Yeah I'm about 30 myself and growing tired of the struggle. I think I am broken but keep on living. I too may soon be living out of my car, though I have money I inherited but don't feel entitled to it at all, despite being antinatalist. I feel like I need to suffer like everyone else.

Its the right way... You have found the light!

I love Jordan Peterson.

Jordan Peterson?

Oh God help us all.

He is the worst of the worst and a sadist at best.
