If suicide returned you to the point of your conception...

[Blue Dream]

...and you'd have to repeat the exact same life from the beginning, would you go through with it?

 

[DanielDanDean]

Hell no wtf.
Every year when I was a minor was boring at best and traumatizing at worst, who would want to live that again?

 

[astr4]

exactly the same life? no. but if i could make different choices? probably.

i was cute as hell and a people pleaser and overachiever as a kid. i should have endeared myself to some nice old person, they could save me from my family, adopt me, i could have gotten my Unconditional Love and then i probably wouldn't have Trust Issues that make me wanna CTB. if i had gotten the love i deserved as a kid i wouldn't have been so insecure and i would have grown into the social butterfly i think i'm meant to be (cause holy shit i yap so much online but i'm terrified of people irl?).

 

[opheliaoveragain]

short answer? fuck no.

 

[Plato'sCaveDweller]

Hell no. That's some Nietzschean Eternal Recurrence shit, and if it could be avoided simply by not killing yourself, then I'm living out my natural lifespan.

 

[Dr Iron Arc]

Not if I have to remember everything. Even brushing aside the more traumatic parts of my childhood, the regular parts of my life would likely be really boring to experience all over again.

Now if I'm able to change certain outcomes I probably still wouldn't accept it because there's a very high chance I could either make the same bad decisions I've made in life or I'd just end up making worse decisions leading to worse outcomes.

I guess if it's inevitable and I remember everything then eventually I would start optimizing suicide speed runs for my own personal satisfaction. Let's see how fast I can kill myself straight out the womb or hell, maybe I can get a negative time by finding a way to die before even being born.

 

[MyTimeIsUp]

Fuck no. Apart from *ONE* and THAT would change my life forever and I'd be happy, because I was happy then, but it was ripped away from me, and it would also make another person's life better, so two people would be happy , and not fucked up for life hating themselves etc. I wish I could go back to that moment, but I wouldn't be alive in *this* life so does that even count? All the previous trauma wouldn't matter as I'd have *that*

 

[daisyrandone]

...and you'd have to repeat the exact same life from the beginning, would you go through with it?

absolutely not if it was the exact same
i'd be stuck between yes and and no if i knew i could do it right in my second life
yes because i'd have the chance to be happy. wouldn't have to deal with anything i've been through or have to tolerate feeling as bad as i do these days.
no because i'd still be inconvenienced by other unpleasant factors of life (understating it with the words "inconvenienced" and "unpleasant")

 

[Forever Sleep]

No. Do you believe it does then?

 

[FuneralCry]

In my case I'd never wish to suffer in this cruel, torturous existence but rather I only hope to never exist again, the thought of this existence repeating is horrific to me, I personally just want some peace instead of all this suffering and cruelty. I only wish for non-existence where all is finally forgotten about for me and I cannot suffer in any way, death truly is the only relief for me, the only peace for me could lie in never suffering again.

 

[memoriesofyesterday]

...and you'd have to repeat the exact same life from the beginning, would you go through with it?

Absolutely NOT! Without question!

That's like asking if Heaven exist.

If I could tweak your question a little; I'd be all grins and smiles until I kill over.

I would give ANYTHING to repeat my life...until the last 3 months.

 

[Reflection]

With the knowledge that I have now? Yes, because I wouldn't make the same mistakes
Same exact thing? I don't know, I don't regret my life but I'd rather not have existed if it's gonna lead to the same point

 

[L'absent]

Luckily, something like this is impossible and death is ever closer, for those who are suicidal and for those who are not. EVERYTHING WILL END IN AN INSTANT!!!

 

[pthnrdnojvsc]

I wouldn't want to repeat my life nor the life of any human or other sentient animal no matter the circumstances.

I'm glad I'm sure that after Death is non-existence forever .

Think about this we will all die and cease to exist forever soon. Most humans alive now will be dead in 100 years.We will all be obliterated as if we never existed for all time obliterated. there's no afterlife no reincarnation no rebirth nothing . Even the universe is constantly expanding and decaying the atoms will decay too look it up.

Eternal Non-existence is the greatest gift a sentient being could get after a long life of pain, suffering work , worry, struggles , stress ..... Finally to get to rest and worry no more, no more pain no problems no suffering bad memories ever again: what could be better than that especially after the hell called life I just left?

 

[SteamaHorns]

This might actually be worse than just going to hell lol, especially if I remember how my entire life had went before dying.

 

[thenorthern]

A lot of why I am here is my own doing. I would take it even though I will end up hurt no matter what

 

[LastLoveSong]

hell no

 

[CantDoIt]

Only if I can make different choices, otherwise it's a weird punishment.

 

[DrinkyCrow]

If I keep my memories and all my knowledge? Hell yeah, weirdly enough.

I can make smarter decisions, invest in Bitcoin and NFT Scams early enough to get easy retirement and actually might get to have a enjoyable life? Absolutely. Would be a great kind of superpower. I would be able to avoid a lot of my troubles most likely.

With no memories and no control over how stuff turns out? No. 10000 times no.

 

[TAW122]

Ultimately, the answer would be no because even if I had knowledge of a past life and made different decisions, sometimes it could be a harder life, or I could encounter worse things overall. Every day sentient is another day to gamble for the unknown, tomorrow could be worse, the future could be worse, etc.

 

[deletedaccount30982]

Not a chance. My fate was sealed by genetic predisposition and severe childhood trauma that nothing I could do could prevent. Had I made mistakes later in life that I had autonomy over to change, yes. But things were set up for me to fail from the get go. I don't think any changes to my life could make much of a difference as I became too sick too early.

 

[uglyugly]

Oh hell no. The first time was bad enough.

 

[Temporary Breakway]

...and you'd have to repeat the exact same life from the beginning, would you go through with it?

Yes

 

[Shadows From Hell]

If I didn't remember anything from my past life, I guess I really wouldn't know what was coming, and have to deal with it.

However, if I did remember, I'd kill myself as young as possible knowing what my future held for me.

 

[SilentSadness]

If you mean just once, then yes to get it over with more quickly. If you mean over and over again, that would be infinitely painful since the pain would add up over the years. I'd definitely become insane if I believed that.

 

[HelloDarkness25]

No, first time was plenty enough

 

[NonEssential]

Nah. If I were to reincarnate into a new person I wish I'd be someone who would be actually social and not completely incompetent.

 

[onmywaytothebusstop]

Holy shit OP.
I've heard a lot of messed up things but this thread is out of this world.

I wouldn't suicide in that case but find a way to turn into a vegetable.

 

[SadFoxDreamer83]

...and you'd have to repeat the exact same life from the beginning, would you go through with it?

Another reason to leave suicide as the last possible option and try all the crazy ideas possible to try to change the situation and the environment. Imagine that you have to repeat the same life as punishment for taking your own life...

 

[LigottiIsRight]

The same shit that led me to commit suicide? Bring it on! Haha nope.
