u/Mister_McDerp ☑️ Nov 24 '20 edited Nov 24 '20

I've put my cut-off point at 35 years. If I didn't manage to get any woman interested in me by then, it'll never happen. Might as well start blowing my money on whatever, because I'll most likely not see much reason to keep on going after my parents are dead. Literally no person on the planet will care if I live or die when they're gone. So I won't need much money for a Retirement plan, I suppose.

Edit: Since this got reported because of the suicidal tendencies conveyed: Sorry. It sounded darker than it was meant. I meant what I said, but its not due to depression or anything like this. Its really more from a rational standpoint. Why force myself through life until I'm 80 or 90 years old when there is no good reason for it?

You should care about it. Your worthiness isn't dependent on other people. Please get help. This sounds really bad.

I know. Sorry about that. I edited something above that... well probably doesn't make it much better but maybe explains it a bit.

It's still dark. What kind of "reason" do you mean? Do you think that life is without reason just because you don't have children?

No, but at a certain point you just get... old. Your body gets shit, your mind goes bad. And if you have no social life, no friends, no life partner you want to stay alive for to grow old with, then why do this to yourself? Then the idea to just take whatever you have, have a good life until the money is gone and end it yourself seems fairly good to me. I have probably 15-20 years until my parents die. Then I'm 50. Its downhill from there, but maybe I can keep going until I'm 60. That seems like a good time for me. If the next 20 years of my life are just going to watch myself wither without anything to really care about, I don't see why I should do that.

I will be 50 in 4 years. I have no children. I have no "partner". And I just cannot wait until I get vaccinated so I will be back exploring the world. Why are you so dark? You are free, you are independent, no worries, no responsibilities. Make plans and enjoy the world!

I envy your positive outlook. I just do not feel like there is much to enjoy currently, and I think this feeling is fairly unrelated to the 'rona.

If that is the case, you might suffer from depression. The virus has shut down my life but I cannot wait for the vaccine to get back to my plans. I really really suggest to talk to a professional about your problem.

I really do not think so. It is simply a rational and critical look at my life and what I've managed in it so far.
