I want to just delete my Discord, FB, Reddit, Second Life and other social sites so I can just be focused on myself. But I can’t because the guilt of seemingly deserting those I have left, will be hard to deal with.

    Stop “working” as in regular day job. There would be so many things I’d like to do and help other people - aside from that I am also medically severely disabled and it would be great to have the time to live better.

    But no chance, gotta be “productive”. (even though not USA but at least I’m not broke because of the circumstances)

      The worst part of capitalism is that it is violently coercive. You need to be profitable to someone else, least you become destitute, starving, and eventually homeless, and likely even die on the streets.

        My personal irony is that I already died once and it made me bitter and people expect me to be thankful, which in itself is a loop I could get lost in.

        You’re back and well, well you know what to do. Work!

    Own a home, be in a long term relationship, have a career worth a shit.

    I’m turning 40, “uneducated” because I never “found myself” and had to support myself right out of highschool. Single for almost a decade. Working a dead end factory job. It’s not happening. :/

      good news is plenty of people are educated and single and own homes… and feel the exact same way as you.

      I meet them all the time.

        I pretty much gave up on dating, “no one” seems to be able to find what they’re looking for and dating parasites apps have made the issue 1000000x worse… When your world of potential dates expands dramatically and they’re all a swipe away the dating pool becomes a buffet table and the perfect dish is just one more swipe away… And another swipe… And another swipe… Pass on all these people, the next will be the perfect one… And another swipe…

          the problem is people have impossible standards, not just for dating, but life in general.

          and if you don’t live in that perpetually unhappy head space, they think you’re a loser.

      I also went right to work after high school. Some of my jobs were dead-end as recently as 2020, but I found better work in which I can flourish. I’m also in a wonderful relationship and got married, in my 40s, to someone I met after a long time alone and a long-term abusive partner before that.

      Things can get better.

      (I’m a city-dweller who will probably never own a home, though. Fuck real estate prices, but at least my apartment isn’t bad at all.)

    Not be alive. I’m passively suicidal. I don’t have a plan. I’m not going to do anything. I very much know how screwed everyone would be if I wasn’t here. I make a lot of people’s lives very much better by my actions. I also know that I would miss out on a lot of fantastic experiences (I want to pet fluffy cows so much).

    However, my life isn’t worth it for myself. I’m middle aged. On the whole, it’s been more negative than positive. Don’t get me wrong, there have been some amazing highlights. I have wonderful kids and some amazing memories with my spouse and moments in my childhood, but it’s all outweighed by the bad. The bad is cumulatively worse than the good, it’s net negative.

    Due to financials, I currently cannot get a commission from my favorite artists. Specifically a ref sheet of higher quality than my current skills and some fan art as well. Similar thing applies to getting a VTuber model and trackers with the help of said ref sheet/s… just to say I’ve tried it.

    Besides, that’s a lot of work to try and get all that VTubing stuff to work on linux. Either that, or I am dumb.

    I want the ability to kill multiple people instantly at the same time just by using my mind. I think I can help the world out if about 2 to 3 dozen people were suddenly dead. Maybe more.
