I found this video on YouTube about happiness. The pinnacle of life. Really makes me wonder why I've continued to work my minimum wage job for years, just wasting my life.

Really makes me feel like this photo

I think most peoples lives tend to amount to just going through the motions of work and family, and trying to find little things throughout the day that bring you joy. Everyone happiness differently, and for many people happiness will amount to having basic needs met with limited stressors in life.

I don't think working a 9 to 5 is necessarily a waste of life As long as the person doing it feels for filled, or at least content. I for example up until recently Basically lived the standard 1950s housewife life be, and I was happy with that. A lot of women would find that to be a complete waste of life, but for me I enjoyed the simplicity and felt fulfilled by caring for a family.

I feel that way somewhat as well. Society expects you to be friendly and happy. It expects you to work customer service at minimum wage working harder and dealing with more bullshit than other higher paying jobs.



Society also expects everyone to want to live because "life is precious". Life is stupid and there's way too much pain and human stupidity in this world. You're basically expected to "put on your happy face" and pretend you actually appreciate life. What a joke.




Do you find any meaning in life personally? Anything worth living for? Does anyone here on this post have anything worth living for? Or are you guys just scared to die?


Best of luck to you all.

I live on my savings now, that gives me some time for myself. I'm thinking about future and everything but I don't see any perspective. I'm kinda stuck in this circle - to live I have to work, to work I have to waste whole my time and there is nothing left for myself. This is just surviving, cause if I get in trouble, for any reason can't work anymore (disability), then I fucked up and can't expect anyone to support me and obviously if I can't work, I can't buy even food. And being lonely, without friends and family is extremely hard to survive. I can't tell how much terrible is this feeling, like if you live on the Mars, isolated from anyone. How many times in my life I had when I was sick in the bed and can't get up to get to the restroom even, but at the same time I have to pay bills, make myself food cause there is no one to bring soup into my bed when I'm sick, do laundry and many other things. Every single day I ask myself why do I surviving this world, I really have nothing what could make me happy, just suffer. Don't wish my life to the worst enemy.

I know what you mean. I do have family that helps me luckily. But medically,I can only work up to 20 hours weekly in an easy job. The idea of working to survive is bull. Working 40+ hours weekly just to have a place to live and food to survive,all while not really liking life or having medical issues makes it even more pointless and illogical.

I see life as a joke. I laugh sometimes at how stupid it is. But some people find meaning in their own life. Is there anything worth living for in your case? You don't have any friends at all?



I'm sorry for your suffering. I'd be glad to talk if you need someone to message with on here.


I wish you the best.

In my case suicide is a chance to stop this madness. I usually work 100+ hours a week to afford everything and save at least something for emergency. There is nothing in this life for me. I just live to work and work to survive.

Funny this thread was created today. I have been thinking today how my failing life is just a waste of time. I have always believed that life has only 2 meanings:

1. Make the world a better place, even with small actions, help people that are in need;
2. Have fun.

Of course, due to my psychological traumas and mental problems I am cursed to forever blame myself for being a complete failure and believe that everything I start doing will have a disasterous ending to it , but I encourage an do my best to help people see the "fun" part of life.

If you are talking about the "society" part of life though, it doesn't have an objective meaning - you work for the majority of day, often a job which you hate, just so you can have a roof over your head and food on the table so you have power to go to work the next day, and wait for the weekend to be able to afford a little time for your hobbies, your interests - that which defines you as a real human being and not just a machine. Is that life worth it? Everyone can put their own opinion on that.

I've seen that video, and while I agree that our leaders (and the vast majority of society by not refusing) are trying to mold us into this consumerist wageslave who's supposed to just shut up and take it, I do believe there's more to life. Happiness is a very subjective and personal thing, something nobody else can decide for us. The best memories I have of life are actually quite simple natural things. Like sitting on a swing aged twelve humming my favourite song, or waking up on holidays in France, looking forward going to the beach, seeing the lovely girls, jumping into the waves with the sun above, riding my bike around town before sunset, hearing people enjoy themselves at the campsite, feeling the warm air around me. Simple, right? But forever gone.

I feel happiness entails being healty and able to do what you want to do, and sometimes that means money, like travelling for instance, but when you're barely surviving on a day to day basis there's not much room for pursuing one's dreams, and I blame society a lot for that. But as in regards to happiness I wouldn't rely on other people to sort out these problems for me, like wageslaving for instance, I'd just take it. Yep, if there was no other means I'd rob assholes and corporations blind if that is what it took to enjoy life again. The catch is health though, in particular unresolved MHI. It'll completely destroy how one perceives life, this attachment to the world, and from there on there is no more point enduring all of it to make ends meet, because there is none.
