Why do you live?

Not just why you lift, but what motivates you to carry on living in this world?

For me it's the idea that as my father's only son it's up to me to create the future generations of our family. This is also why I lift, to attract good genes .

Spite. My continued existence is a slap in the face to a few people.

By lifting, I prolong my death and improve the quality of my life.

im miserable but not motivated enough to kill myself

I honestly enjoy myself. i have given up on my goals but i laugh every day and have fun

I was suffering the existential crisis years ago but not anymore. Now I want to live to 100 years old.

I have a business idea and I want to make it. I was born in a poor family deep in debt for decades so it motivates me to get rich. Im still poor though and still struggling but I will keep moving forward. And I also want to prove to the world and myself that Im the smartest ass around through the success of my business.

I was a weakling in highschool and was bullied so it motivates me to lift hard. Now Im happy with my body and strength but I still keep lifting.

in my free time, I am secretly studying astrology for fun and I have birthcharts of everybody close to me. I want to live forever so I can test the theories of astrology.

Every now and then I'm at peace. When even horrible lack of intimacy, being a virgin at the age of 30, living with parents, not having experienced even a glimpse into a life as a happy person after I turned 12, being too poor to move out... when all these things don't matter. It may sound pretentious but a lonely walk on a cool day really makes me feel like my problems are far away. I do think about how unhappy I am then but in those surroundings it doesn't seem so bad.
After a workout everything turns quiet too. I'm relaxed.
I live for these moments. I wish I could live for moments of holidng somebody I truly love and am turned on by, knowing I'm loved and sexually attractive (irresistible even) and simply good enough. But it hasn't happened and I don't think it will happen.
I've had horrible OCD for 10 years, spent my 20s basically worrying about going to hell or selling my soul to the devil as well. But I hope when I die God will just greet me wherever He is nad He will explain to me that I shouldn't have worried so much.
Until then, I just pass the time. I'm not angry or aggressive, I would like to be more ruthless but I don't like making others unhappy. I'm not going to kill myself. I'll just wither.
Till then I go to work, save money to move out, at some point I'll muster up the courage to go to a prostitute to see if sex is really this amazing. After work I go for long walks, go home to my parents and spend time in fornt of a computer.

to dab on niggas

Lack of good alternatives. Leaving your family a disgusting corpse is a mess physically and emotionally and you know instinct as a mammal.

>but what motivates you to carry on living in this world?
my parents are still alive, i plan on ending it after their deaths.
>ur pussi u gota try yo best to rech ur drem
fuck off

>Spite
this shit right here. I'm out here tryin to rub it every piece of shit who treated me poorly for no good reason

20% hopes of life getting better
80% curiosity about what will the world look like in the future

Because no matter the result, I don't want any person to be able to objectively state, that I somehow didn't try my best.
I hang on with pure persistence to live and to go even further beyond.

It's that limbo when you don't want to kill yourself, but wouldn't mind dying in accident.

Without revealing all your secrets, what's your business plan?

It is not virtuous to be meek, even if your inaction is in the name of sparring others any discomfort. Life is a hurricane, thrash around a bit and enjoy the ride brother. It's not all so serious, so even if you do wound a few in finding your way, it's no great deal.

For my future children. I've been beaten down over the years almost to death but I'm still here and I'm now standing stronger than ever. I will escape the chains keeping me tethered to the system or I will die trying. My children will be born and will live as free men.

tl;dr buy land and live free on it

Actually been struggling witht that. The idea of wagecucking for the next 40 yeard only to be able to afford nice things and maybe a cool trip once in a while depresses me, and I'm thinking of just calling it quits

Existence feels pointless

To find a reason

One day in the near future, I'll get taller. I'll lose my acne. I'll have a wide chest and back. I'll get a deep voice. I may enter a friendly relationship with a close-knit group of people, that is a normal occurrence in early childhood, but not impossible for an adult. I might be able to treat these people to an evening. Even though I don't drink personally, I wouldn't be opposed to buying drinks for a holiday or a celebration. I might be able to have some friends depend on me for something, e.g. "hey, could you help me move this refrigerator to my new dorm?" and I would say, "Yeah, sure, tell me where to go". I could play video games with someone. I could teach one of my friends how to do Olympic style weightlifting, or maybe offer support and help someone I care about lose weight. I could hang out with friends and watch movies, or talk about fitness, nutrition, martial arts, theology, philosophy, or any other hobbies that they might introduce me. I might get a girlfriend, too. There's still a possibility of that. And we could do so many romantic things there's no point in listing them. I'm really excited at the prospect. So for the question, "why haven't you necked yourself yet?", it's because I think I'm undergoing a turning point in my life and it will all turn out like one of those happy slice-of-life genres.
--------------------------------------------------------------

It is 2.5 years later since I wrote that in notepad. The only thing I got was a bigger physique and heavier lifts. Which doesn't really mean much on a 5'9" frame. I think the creator god made me for amusement.

Because I don't yet have a reason to die for.

me

can't kill myself while my parents are alive. Meanwhile gotta do something to try and make existence bareable.

The fact I've promised people I wouldn't kill myself. I don't want to hurt them.

honestly, at this point I just hope that the prostitute I'll lose my virginity to won't be a sex trafficking victim or somehow pressured into it

This.

This motherfucker right here gets it.

checked
How old are you? Perhaps there's still time

One day I might get a gf/be with a woman again. I just take it day by day, grind, and course correct as needed. There is nothing else I want more in this life. Literally nothing else I swear to God. Getting a vasectomy soon so not even kids will hold me back - I need to dedicate absolutely all of my time and resources to self-aggrandizement in order to make this happen.

No reason not to. Existence isn't that bad really, and if I'm dead I'll miss all of the cool shit I would've experienced if I were alive.

Feeling similar but mine aren't going anywhere anytime soon, I feel like a shell of a person I dont do anything anymore, lost creativity and don't enjoy drawing, don't want to go college and cant afford regardless, i have no real ambition, everyday is just thinking trying to find a reason for waking up the next day, life isnt enjoyable anymore theres nothing here for me. I wasnt a good person and still am not but I reflect on things bad I done in the past and try to change but its all pointless. I don't know why i keep worrying about thoughts after death if im constantly thinking about suicide.
shit if my 12 year old self saw me right now he'd be so disappointed. pathetic life

I lift for mai waifu.
In my liftetime I'll even be able to interact with her through VR.
Seibah-fags can already indulge in this.

I hold out hope that one day I'll finally be able to attract a stream of hot chicks effortlessly

get on accutane to lose your acne. and about being a 5'9 manlet, thats not a real excuse for your problems. everything else can be fixed by just getting a real hobby and sticking with it, getting friends and a gf will follow that

I look forward to when my body starts to break down so I can play all the sweet futuristic MMO's without feeling guilty.

To mog everything.

You have forever to be dead...explore while you have the senses to do so.

>This is also why I lift, to attract good genes .

Lfiting won't change your genetics.

I'm an only child so it would ruin my parents to kill myself.

I just spend all my time building my business (much slower than I expected), going to the gym 1.5 hours/day, and browsing Jow Forums and various forums around an hour/day.

I'd like to get a gf and eventually the whole wife+kids deal, but I legitimately want the best for the women who are interested in me--being with someone who is deep down apathetic about living is not in their best interest. Also I'm kinda curious what it'd like to be a 40 year old khv in 16 years. Not many people experience that I'd assume?

I have to live until I create a masterpiece.

Considering that 90% of what you wrote is about making friends, shouldn't you have focused on that instead of lifting?

>brothers wedding weekend
>stayed behind a day from rest of family
>setting up to kill myself
>dad calls me needs me at the venue immediately
>at brothers wedding
>mom pulls me close
>mom asks me to stay
>moms crying

I'm just here cuz mom asked me.
But if I have to stay im gonna be Jow Forums and I'm gonna be successful

Me. Besides, i'm afraid to death

My friends called me the week after another friends wedding while I was planning to kill myself. That was a few years ago now, I probably wouldn't still be here if it wasn't for them.

This is me. I always say I have never been happier than since I gave up on my supposed "goals" and "dreams." It allowed me to let go and realize what I actually love, what I actually enjoy and what is actually important to me in life. It allowed to pull my head out of my ass and get a nice, humble job I like instead of driving myself insane over an intangible dream career, which thus allowed me to start making a decent living, which allowed me to get a nice place, afford to buy and do things I like or enjoy, get motivated to better myself in more down to earth and tangible ways like a healthier diet and getting in shape, lowered my stress significantly, and overall made me less spiteful and more comfortable and content towards the world and my place in it. Taking this attitude can really set you free and allow you to live a happier life.

For myself. If you use anyone or anything else as your "mental crutch" that "motivates you", you suffer from low self-esteem.

Nobody wants weak friends

You encapsulate one of the meanings of life well. I think there's two functions, one is to make kids, the other is to make the best out of your own life. Can't say which is the more important function.

This, my reason to live too, currently. I used to want to create something meaningful (a book, comic, music), but then I realized I just had a low self esteem and was ultimately trying to seek validation from everyone else. Then I wanted to make myself the best I can be, but figured that's just a luxury because ultimately there is no meaning in life.

You just live your life to see what happens because then you die and the experience is gone for good. You can always just end your life and ultimately you didn't fail in life or anything, but you 'wasted' the experience you could've had, so I guess that alone is enough to make you wanna go through this.

I see you're motivated, but seek some professional help if you haven't already. It gets better.

>someone who is deep down apathetic about living is not in their best interest
You're unironically suffering from a nice guy syndrome. This is just an excuse many of us use to stay alone. Also, you're a pessimist, you can't think 16 years ahead like that when literally anything can happen in between. Atleast wait until you're 30 before losing all hope.

same for me user.
everyday i repeat the phrase, it wasn't supposed to be like this. as i recall my 8-10 year old version memories. coming home from school to play banjo kazooie or goldeneye on my n64, going to the pool to meet with a few friends
nowadays it's the same endless routine. lifting, wageslave, sleeping, lifting, wageslave, sleeping.
i reached the conclusion that i used to live in a beautiful version of this world. til one day where i committed such an unforgettable sin that they sent me to hell. and here i am
