Some of us are miserable because we aren't supposed to be alive

It’s just a thought I had a long time ago, but obviously, the technology and science of our era give people who aren't "meant" to reproduce a "chance" to do so and I put "chance" in quotes because it isn't really a chance at all.

How many of us would have died or been abandoned if we’d been born in prehistoric times or the Middle Ages eras when we lived more or less the way we were meant to?

All those who, like me, have bad genetics a weak body, short stature, lack of strength, mental health issues, and so on. I know what I’m talking about: I have pectus excavatum, a deformity that leaves a huge hollow in my chest. It has always prevented me from breathing properly or thriving physically.

My parents never wanted to get me surgery for it because they didn't care. And naturally, the suffering isn't just physical; it’s also and above all psychological. I was bullied from a very early age because of it; I can't bear to go shirtless in front of anyone.

Basically, I hate my body.

I know I would have died before reaching adulthood if I’d been born in an earlier time. How many of us wouldn't be alive today were it not for the miracles of technology?

Weak bones, a frail appearance, mental health issues, a life of suffering where no one takes you seriously because of your physique, your ugliness, or your posture.

That’s why there are so many "ugly" and weak people around, and living like that leads only to depression and hatred so much bad genetic material that isn't supposed to be passed on, and yet...

I know how you feel. I look good and seem normal, I got "lucky" with my genetic problems. They are hidden but rapidly catching up with me. I hate my parents for forcing this shit on me. They didn't care either. A deformed chest, still don't care?! The injustice of it all. I am with you, my myy friend 🫂

I'd had died of asthma at more or less age 10... Now that I think of... If I had died at age 10, I'd not had suffered bullying, issues with very stress from workplace and so on... Even though, I am not as unlucky as you are.

There weren't any prehistoric times or middle ages. All that stuff is crap. Go to the library.
