if you had the choice, would you choose to be born?

Personally, I wouldn't. The world is chaotic, nature is random and heartless toward individuals, and consciousness is a double-edged sword.
It's really important to find effective coping strategies if you didn't hit the genetic lottery or the perfect combination of circumstances when growing up.

The world can also be a really beautiful place. I hope you can eventually see some positives in yourself or in others.

It wasn't like this before 2012. Used to never see these kind of threads or this chaos on social media. The world really is strange now days and i agree it's hard to cope knowing the harsh reality of things.

I see the occasional positive stuff, but it's almost insignificant when compared to the negative things.

That's a fair point. Many studies have attributed many negative things to social media ( depression and suicide rates for example).
It's also important to note that social media just served as mean through which previously hidden things could be publicly broadcasted.

Yes and this isn't a difficult one for me.

In a lot of ways I've been lucky in life, so it's hard for me to even comprehend the alternative.

Yeah but mostly because I feel I ended up above average so far. Better pay than most my age, multiple relationships, etc. It's subjective though, if I knew my worst moments on the earth and how I would die, that might sway me one direction or the other on this topic.

It's so hard, isn't it?

People who endured major global conflicts like WW2 simply have no idea how good they had it

I think being human is tragic.

The way we live in the world is parasitic, we destroy everything for selfish desires.
The way we view the world is schizophrenic, our lives are ruled by strict laws and money.

I'd rather be a Wolf or an Eagle or something. That is freedom.

I think several people would be happier and the world would be a better place if I was never born.

I mean, I'm not having fun here, I've been a net negative to this point in my life, and there's nothing I can contribute to society that can't be replaced by giving an Indian brah an H1-B visa. Like what benefits are there from me being here.

I don't think I've done anything extravagant for the world thus far, so it could probably do without me.

I'd say no. Less people the better, give earth the chance to survive.
Thus let me live, unseen, unknown;
Thus unlamented let me die;
Steal from the world, and not a stone
Tell where I lie.

Just because your life experience made you think life was a gift it doesn't necessarily mean it's the same for everyone. For some other people it's more like a curse. I wish my mom aborted me and spared me from this miserable existence

That's just a bunch of crybaby, victim hood bullsh!t but you know that.

If you don't like your life, change it. Don't like what you see in the mirror, change it. Don't like the job you have, change it. Life is a series of choices, good and bad, smart and dumb. Yes, we all had different starts in life different experiences...deal with it.

Guess it's pretty simple for me.

Father's parents were shot to death when he was 7. Grew up alone since then in his brother's house who was always abroad for work. Large house, 7 year old, living alone... Not going to go well.

He abused the hell out of me as a child and damaged the living fuk out of me. Not getting beat by my father was the happiest moments I had as a child. Just lol at avoiding a negative being the happiest moments. I get if parents abuse if justified but this wasn't, he'd smack me anytime he felt off or disrespected. I legitimately never felt like I had a father to talk to. It was just his way of releasing frustration I guess. A lot of it stemmed from his extreme insecurity and anger. Fukking 5'3 manlet and damaged af is not a good combo. Once while in university I texted him starting the text with "hey" and he refused to talk to me for a week because he felt disrespected. That's how psycho he was and this was after he had decided to change.

I changed my life a great deal and it helped being an aestheticcel so I guess it helps stay afloat if women are always hitting on you everywhere you go (but now I'm balding and look a bit older and hair sucks so wth) but last summer I developed an extremely rare disorder that I've only now defeated but debilitated me. Now I no longer am able to derive pleasure or genuinely feel happy or many normal emotions humans feel in response to things. The only one remaining is the ability to laugh if I find something funny in the moment.

No child deserves the childhood I deserved and despite everything I've done to change myself it seems life decided to throw me another curveball last year as a big fuk you. When you cannot feel the emotina normal people feel what's the reason of life?
