My life is comfortable, but I'm planning on just shooting myself if my dad dies. It's not worth living to work.
Is this the life for everyone post high-school?

Same position but I’m 19. I don’t understand life, is it supposed to be this way? Why does no one talk about this? Things are really difficult but people seem happy. I think I’ve figured out the secret. There are two world viewpoints, LOVE and DEPRESSION. The love goggles are gained when you really love someone or something, you are completely optimistic and everything seems to go in your way. While the DEPRESSION goggles are on when you are not interested in anything, you will only find boredom and pointlessness and can only see sad things.
So because of that, and I really do think this will help, feel loved. It doesn’t matter if it’s you loving yourself by getting some cool clothes or feeling loved by a girlfriend who hugs you, but it’s a good idea to feel loved. I think everything will start going your way when this happens.
The worst part is "LOVE" goggles are temporal, and they're more like "LUST" goggles.
It's like you're either doing street drugs that force other people into an industrial hellscape, or you're miserable.
I'd rather not participate in any of this.
I’m just saying, recently I’ve been talking to this girl and it’s made me feel a lot better. I don’t think anyone has the answers, so might as well only think about what makes you feel good
Not to mention that I think the future will be really great, and we should hang in there. I know it’s not foreseeable how good it will be but there will be live in robot wives, VR worlds, five star instant food, to name a few
Probably gonna get flamed for saying this but honestly you should look into knowing God spiritually. From my experience it should get you out of this rut.
>depressed person can't see things getting better
fucking wow, who'd have thought?
>You're depressed
But I'm not.
I'm mixed-raced, and I'm only seeing reality clearly. It's kind of like how I knew my father would grab me for labor back when I was 16, and he did everything I knew he would.
My race doesn't even have the genetics for depression. I'm 15% black.
I wish I could, but I realized god was probably non-existent back when I was 13. Human evil made me realize there was no loving design toan
Then I started staring at my life, and I realized being a human being is nothing special. There are 7 billion on earth right now. 100 billion to ever exist. It's highly probable that I'd come into this earth as one from nothing.
Dude you have to stop looking at things with such a negative view. Stop looking at them how you think they are and start looking at life how you’d like it to be
>15% black
Go to Georgia, the local KKk, they might be able to help you out
I already know how I'd like my life to be, but I have to leave the USA and go to a foreign one that doesn't speak my language. It's a small island in the Caribbean (Puerto Rico), but it's the only place I can go. The people there probably don't even really look like me. Most people never have to leave the country they're born in.
On top of this, I'm mentally weaker than the average person because I have no one I love on this earth.
I will probably never successfully go to Puerto Rico, get a girlfriend, and come back to the USA/make a life in Puerto Rico.
People shoot themselves rather than leave the United States because of how hard it is to live in this world. Ariel Castro found it easier to abduct 3 girls and rape them than to move to Puerto Rico.
I own a business that does decently for itself. Its expanding constantly and getting a little better everyday. The industry I am in will die in the next few years but Im milking it while I can. Thats just life though.
I am also a university student, studying Mechanical Engineering at a Top 10 school.
I have a beautiful girlfriend who is also a student at my university. Shes the whole package. Shes crazy sometimes and needs way more attention and affection than I am capable of giving.
I play on several sports teams (adult leagues/ club sports) and am in decent shape. I am at the gym 2-3 days a week as well.
I have a few close friends and a bigger circle of friends who I can socialize and go out with when the mood strikes.
The reason I am saying all of this is to show that every life is different. If you are unhappy, you are capable of changing it. Goos things don't just happen. I own a business because I put years of hard work in and built it from the ground up. I am in a Top 10 University because I maintained a 4.0 throughout community college and it paid off. I have a 10/10 gf because I am a hard worker, smart, and somewhat attractive (but that is subjective). I have friends because I made an effort to socialize with people in my classes and sports teams.
None of this fell on my lap. I worked for it. So stop being such a whiny cunt and realize your life is only as good as you are willing to make it.
OP is potentially an incel and a threat to society.
Remember to report anyone you have suspicions of being an incel. These sick fucks deserve to be locked up.
Try living a few days in nature without cellphones and shit like that.
You will learn to enjoy the little things
>I'm smart, attractive
>None of it fell into my lap
Hello anons, most people don't talk about it because most people don't have major problems like this. Think of your high school mates. Some were smarter, some were prettier, some were dumber. Different sets of problems.
So there are a lot of things to say. Humans are wonderfully complicated. There's no manual. "Miss Lonelyhearts" is a great read (it's available on the australian project gutenberg site).
Many of your problems are interweaved with society, things COULD be much better than they are. Things could be organized humanely, but they aren't. Medieval peasants survived, and you don't have it that bad... sort of. They actually got more days off and more beer... but I'm drunk and digressing.
You have to do what you can with what you have. Since:
>I wish I could, but I realized god was probably non-existent back when I was 13.
you might consider the buddhist philosophy. Just ignore any supernatural stuff, if it's brought up (and it usually isn't). Check out Rodney Smith's talks on the website Dharma Seed, or Ajahn Sumedho's talks on youtube.
Why should you kill yourself because your dad may will die? You'll probably get insurance. Who will most cry for you on your funeral and who will come to your funeral? You are not fucking bug or cocroach to die, you are an adult who will have family. Imagine if you have children and you are sick and your children want to kill themself. Put yourself in your dad position right now. He probably doesn't know that you will kill yourself because he will may die.
My life will become terribly difficult.
There's no reason to suffer through it. I'd be better off not existing than working.
If he never wanted this to happen (and it's not a bad thing because it'll be after he's dead), he should've raised me to be a better person.
He's not sick, but he could die from a heart attack. If that happens, hell will follow, and I have nothing to go through it for.
>Can't see myself caring about other people I've not grown-up with
probably you have underdeveloped empathy, try compassion meditation daily
The only thing that’s holding you back from going to Puerto Rico and getting a girlfriend is your own mental limitations. You can do it anytime you want, it just takes some money and that’s easy as fuck to get. Get a job or something
>There's no reason to suffer through it. I'd be better off not existing than working.
I don't think that's a good assumption, user. I had some shitty jobs. Found my first gf at one, made a couple good friends, and eventually did college and got a job I actually enjoy.
I'm still alienated from my labors and feeding the pigs, but I'd rather fight that than just roll over and die. There will be a moment, some day.
Maybe you should try listening to some johnny hobo.
Also I should note that I'm thirty, this shit didn't all happen over night. Stupid, degenerate, partying behavior got me through some of the earlier, rougher, times. If you feel like killing yourself, what do you have to lose by drinking a few beers, smoking a joint, and wondering around the city/sitting in a hookah bar?
Also note that I haven't read most of this thread and that could be retarded advice. Meh.
I'll keep this in mind
