Discussion Would your life be good if ONE factor was different?

[Passenger4224]

If one specific part of your life was different, do you think your life would be good? If so, what part of your life would you change? Of course we don't know what life would be like if things were different, but we can guess.

For example, I believe my life would be great if I was in the right body.

If I was neurotypical and not fat. I'd have the normal black boy swagger I'm supposed to have and I'd have some hoes and friends and I would have never been aware of anything in the world, I wouldn't be thinking about the metaphorical matrix we call society and how we are all slaves to it, and how now that i've been born and am fully aware I wouldn't be stuck within the cosmic battle ground we call the universe or reality.

 

[AgathaChristieLover]

If my mom didn't hate me

 

[BlackCatTalk]

Easy, no. Nothing can improve my actyal situation

 

[TwistedNightmares]

My life would be good if I had competent, caring parents and if I wasn't born with my incurable syndrome.
I can't choose between these two factors. Both are bad.

same~ :(

Money - if I had money to buy a dog and have a home of my own with a garden and not be dependant on people who enjoy abusing me

 

[Riaxd]

yes, if my parents weren't neglectful.

 

[violetforever]

i think my life would be so much different if my family wasnt abusive. i hate to think about things that cant be changed though. its pointless and this is my life thats leading me to ctb

 

[snow_cones59]

it would be better if I wasn't feckin born at all

 

[Pangs93]

I'd either choose to not be mentally ill or to have had a mother who wasn't abusive. Hard to choose. Mental illness is currently my biggest problem since I'm no contact with my mother. However, had I not been so abused I probably wouldn't be so mentally ill in the first place. Both would be great to change.

 

[FuneralCry]

No, there really isn't anything good about existing, I don't see how existing beings tortured all for the sake of it could ever be good and the suffering and torture of existing is endless, to exist is an abomination and it's so terrible how humans cause all this suffering and torture all for the sake of it by imposing this existence, to me existence will just always be the most terrible mistake to me and for me non-existence is just all that's positive and desirable.

All I want is to be free from this existence of terrible, torturous suffering, it's just so terrible how a human can suffer for so long just to face the extreme agony of old age, to me existence will just always be the problem, I just always suffer as a result of being burdened with this existence so dreadful and torturous.

if i was born in a different country

 

[w1ngedpearl]

I could've been much happier if I wasn't as stupid as I am. I did so many dumb mistakes that are almost impossible to fix.

 

[Defenestration]

Yes if m'y mother isnt ill

 

[Vera1997]

If i was cis instead of trans

Me too. I have BDD and I can only dream about looking normal

If I wasn't fat. Maybe things would be different

Same. I wish I had just been normal. Be average. Make some good decisions. Instead, nothing.

 

[Penelope12]

Sarei stato molto più felice se non fossi stato così stupido. Ho fatto così tanti errori stupidi che sono quasi impossibili da rimediare.

Idem

 

[fluorescentpearl]

If I had my beloved life would be worth living

 

[LivedTooLong]

There are so many things wrong with me, but maybe it would be livable if I weren't trans. I would prefer to have just been born male, but if I could have just been a cis woman (no gender dysphoria), even that would have been preferable to this. I can't stand it anymore.

 

[nayomi]

if i wouldnt be able to suffer

 

[DeathSweetDeath]

I know it would have been good, but a catastrophic event destroyed my appearance, forever locking me out of any version of the present and future that I'd want.

 

[sotomie]

Yes, if I wasn't born in this toxic family.

If you could choose only one of these things, do you think your life would be good? Or would you need both of these things to change?

Yes, I think even with only one of these things my life would still improve. Say I choose to be mentally healthy, sure I still have to cope with the trauma of my mother, but I would no longer have OCD, depression, anxiety, etc and that alone would be amazing. If I chose to have a mother who wasn't abusive, yeah I *might* still be mentally ill but I wouldn't have the trauma and I'd have a caring mother around for love and support which would also be amazing. Though both together would still be ideal.

 

[Captive_Mind515]

No. Life sucks!

There are plenty of singular factors that could potentially make it worse though…

 

[Defenestration]

If i am not ill
