I would have chose not to be born. Unless you win the genetic lottery, or you're born in a rich family with a good upbringing, then life just isn't worth living.

That's far from true. I feel sorry for you if that's your real outlook.

As a consequence of short and ugly, I'm also incel FA, no choice can change that.

The only choice I have is to make the most of my situation, but it cant change the situation itself.

I agree, our response is in our control but our response doesnt always have the capacity to change anything.

My response to being ugly and short and incel is to fap 3million times a day and play videogames. that doesnt change the actually s*it situation, because that isnt even possible to change.

too much of life is like this. you have to just deal with your lot in life, there's only so much you can do.

Fuk this life and fuk this existence that I came into. I'm a fuking NEET and I will never amount up to anything. I have no friends irl I'm always so lonely and alone. I hate myself. Everytime I look in the mirror I hate what I see in my reflection. Everything was taken away from me by my brother and I wish he would drop dead. I wish he could feel the pain I feel because of what he did to me.

Life has been chit for me. I'm trapped in my mind and I'm trapped in this black hell that I call my life. I'll never get out of the abyss. I'm fuked.
Why don't you just beat the **** out of him now then? They say revenge is a dish best served cold

I'm not going to keep explaining it to you bro. You know what we've been telling you. You just reject it, and you have every right to do so.

Just keep choosing to live a crappy life because you don't want to believe that more is possible while the rest of us keep on killing it.

No. How you feel is how you feel. Emotions are automatic, you dont control emotions. Otherwise why would anyone ever feel anything bad ever? Its not a choice

What you can control is how you handle how you feel. You can feel miserable and try to cheer yourself up at least for example

No normal human or baby would choose to die if they had a choice, you feel that you may not want to have been born cause of two things. Mental health disease which you should seek help or feeling of missing out. Some kind of material comfort or security you want or feel entitled to. The fact that you can afford to post on this forum, have a computer/phone and internet connection is already a blessing of technology that can help to improve your skills, and financial income.
I just want to share the knowledge I have obtained throughout my life and hopefully change someone's life.

You are being a selfish coward OP and don't expect me to comfort you get your sht together. Nobody wishes they weren't born, which is why they continue to live. Your just being a little btch crying online cause you don't have some material comfort you want to have, or vacations or things that you see in movies and tv, online.
this is a very primative way of looking at it. "brb some people are happy living in cardboard boxes and starving therefore you should be too".

Well, congrats to those people I guess but everyone is different. Different things make different people happy. People have different values. People have different genetics and natural emotional responses to their enviornment.

the fact that some people are happy with objectively rough lives doesnt mean everyone is or can be.

thats not what anyone is saying. the question is, if you had a choice before you were ever even born, would you want to be born. not do you want to die. much different questions.

No.

And just lmao at all the *******s in here going "just suck it up and make the right choices". Genetics and the experiences you undergo the first 12-13 years of your life before you have any real agency are too powerful to ignore. If bad enough, they can make it so that the likelihood you will even becapableof making the "right" choices is miniscule.

For me, personally, life is salvageable with the right choices going forward, but I'm not ignorant enough to assume that it's the same for everyone.

So many whiners on this forum nowadays.

I wasn't addressing you in particular. Don't even know what you posted. Don't care what your backstory is. You don't know my back story either.

All I was saying is that you can't make a blanket statement for everyone.

Amadou from Burkina Faso, whose father died before he was born and whose mother died of AIDS shortly after, who suffers from stunting due to severe malnutrition, is not going to turn his life around by having a positive attitude and making the right choices.

lol cmon dude. I was just making an extreme example.

As far as incels, yeah, some of them are just whiners but some aren't. The only way to tell is to get inside their head. Is it so inconceivable that genetics/upbringing can make some people mentally weaker than others? Something that might seem insignificant to us might be a big deal in the mind of someone else, through no choice of their own.
