I just have no reason to live......living for the sake of living whats the point?

[IsThisTheEnd?]

I have no reason to be alive, nothing to wake up for, nothing to look forward too, only pain and insults
what is the point of living for living sake?

 

[Futile]

There's no point, that's why we're here

 

[IsThisTheEnd?]

Yeah, but why do some people carry on? why is life different for some people?

 

[Squiddy]

I'm only living for my family, friends and fear of a potential hell. Otherwise, I'd be gone.

 

[FuneralCry]

Life is pointless anyway, everything we do is just passing time until we die. I find the idea of non existence comforting.

I agree/feel the same. Ask myself the same question endlessly. Always get the same answer.....There isn't one.

 

[Good4Nothing]

Questions i ask myself every day.

 

[Amumu]

Ok, so we're human beings, but we are mammals above all.
If you love close friends, if you have a soulmate, and If you're being loved by them, I guess it'll feel better.
If you have a good physical and mental health, I guess it'll feel better.
Why the fuck would we need a meaning if we feel good?

Instead of searching for a meaning, search for what makes you happy,
provided it respects what is just and freedom of others.

Can make you more sad that there's more to lose. Depends what your problem is. If it's lack of that which I suspect it is in many cases that's solvable

I didn't understand
Health problems aren't solvable at all sometimes. Btw the expression "lack of health" is quiet funny
And you can't have close friends or a soulmate if you're ugly and have got strong mental disorders

 

[Mr2005]

And you can't have close friends or a soulmate if you've got strong mental disorders or if you're too ugly

I'm not arguing with you. If that's what you've decided there's nothing anyone can do about it

 

[Amumu]

I'm not either wtf. Do you think that because of the emoji ?
This forum is really tense now, people see hostility everywhere

 

[IsThisTheEnd?]

yeah I don't have anyone or anything, I just get so angry/frustrated and emotional that I can't find a way out of this, I must be stupid/retarded to not be able to find a solution, it's just endless pointless existence for me just so frustrating.

 

[Amumu]

If you feel lonely it's normal that you're depressed mate, you're not retarded at all.

 

[IsThisTheEnd?]

I mean I must be slightly retarded to be in the situation where my only choice is ctb and I can't find and have never been able to find an alternative, it's not normal.

 

[Amumu]

No you're not retarded. Btw I've thought about suicide without alternative since was 13, so you see
To find an alternative, ask yourself what your problems are, and how you can downsize their effects.
Then it's a pro-choice forum, so I won't decide what is best for you.

 

[MariV]

I've often wondered if I'm retarded, too.
I'm 48 and starting my life over from scratch - AGAIN.
I've had to do this at least 20 times. I just can't make my life work. There must be something terribly wrong with me. I'm not fit to live in this world.
You're not alone. I'm right there with you.

 

[racek]

Doubts are good sign of something

 

[IsThisTheEnd?]

I probably am just not like arrr bless more never fit in and life of misery, like probably alot of you it's such a pain because it would feel better for me to go out through suicide like it would I feel it would be a fitting end, just my mum.

...and I'm here with you, too.

 

[onlyeverexisting]

There is no point, really. That's either depressing or liberating, depending on how you look at it.

Potential good side: You can create whatever purpose you want!

Potential bad side: ....well, we're already all on SS.

 

[Chupacabra 44]

I often wonder if most people don't feel this way and would admit it, if push were to come to shove. I asked myself if many people pretend that life is worth living and rewarding in order to tolerate it.

I perceive many people in life take on the adage of "fake it until you make it" , and below the surfice are masquerading a level of happiness and contentment.

One thing, it seems to me that people actively engaged in religion and/or those who are altruistic seem to tolerate life better than the rest of us. This isn't always the case and you might practice both of the above and still be on the forum with suicidal thoughts.

I suspect that practicing the two items above results in addition release of feel good brain chemicals. Probably plenty of studies on this. I imagine that many/most of us here lack adequate dopamine, seratonin, endorphins, etc.

I always acknowledge when I encounter one of the rare persons who seems to be dripping in feel good brain chemicals. I wish I had this inside me.

One thing I believe is that those practicing mindfulness and living in the moment have much better interactions with life itself.

But dude we're not all on SS because of existential problems you know
If I only had existential problems I wouldn't have come here I guess
Take care

I said we're already all on here, not that that's the sole reason. That's definitely not what brought me here either. But you did ask what the point of living for the sake of living is- that's a fundamental existential question.
You take care also.

 

[raindrops]

I asked someone the same thing and they said "purpose" that made me feel worse.

 

[okdoomer]

We're simply here to live and die. There is no purpose or solution to brainwash yourself out of knowing this. It's the truth. Some people have healthier brain chemicals than others and are able to shield themselves from it. That is how they carry on. You're not stupid for finding life pointless. You're smart, actually. I wrestle with my existence often like you do. I recommend reading absurdist philosophy, particularly Albert Camus' The Myth of Sisyphus. I think you'll find it a good read. Essentially it's all about accepting that everything has no meaning and living for the hell of it anyway.

 

[_Kaira_]

Along with what @okdoomer said, we are mainly here to reproduce. We have instinct to pass on our genes, it's in our nature. Anything else in between birth and death is just an illusion that we aren't just cattle to be milked to make the lives of the 1% better. Hell, even a good amount of them aren't even happy. But we continue to breed in the name of solidifying the next generation. Society is only getting worse. It's all pointless in the end. We are destroying the world the higher the population goes, the more we try to extend human lifespan, and whatever we don't destroy will be once the sun implodes. Regardless if that's billions of years from now, it'll happen, as the world has already existed for billions of years. The future had better hope that we discover another earth-like planet that can sustain life long term....

I'm no pro-lifer, but depending on your gender there are purposes you can have. Basic ones and personal ones.

 

[LittleJem]

I feel this way. Suffering every day. Don't want to suffer anymore .
