In the beginning the universe was made. This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.
I feel a therapist should very easily understand such a simple distinction.
He understands, he’s just working out if you’re lying about not wanting to.
Yea, I feel a lot of people think therapists are doing a bad job when they “don’t believe you” when all they’re doing is trying to figure out if you’re one of the lying “I’m definitely suicidal :D shoots self next day” types.
I’m not afraid of dying by my own hands, I’m afraid I will survive it…
People survive all kinds of brain trauma, so that at least is just a bad idea.
Can relate totally. I always give an example of hopefully getting a cancer and dying but not commiting suicide.
How did you get this picture of me?
Seriously though. If I die, I don’t have any strong feelings about that. I do however, have strong feelings about how I die. I don’t want to go out from some drug overdose, starvation, by getting crushed by gravity (fall damage), or in some violent crime.
But if I can just blink out of existence… That’s okay with me. Get hit by a train and turned into mist, okay. Seems oddly specific but I can go with it… Snapped out of existence by Thanos. Awesome, seems like it should be painless.
Stabbed 47 times, in the street for the Nickles in my pocket? No thanks. That sounds horrible. Starving? Choking on my own vomit from a drug overdose? Getting shot and bleeding out on the sidewalk? Falling to my death? No thanks. All of those seem like really unpleasant and painful ways to die.
I don’t actively seek death, but if it comes for me, I am a willing participant.
Disagree on the train part. Getting hit by a train is just getting crushed by gravity but sideways
I think it depends on the speed of the train. If it’s not going very fast, yeah, probably.
But stand in front of a bullet train and you’ll be a mist before you can register any pain.
Oh hey it’s me.
Tangentially, that guy’s eyes are creeping me the fuck out.
I’ve changed from the meme to: if I’m going to live I want to live. Not have to do a bazillion things in order to survive another day. So if I fail to do something that keeps me alive, I accept the risk of possibly dying.
That’s not really what the meme is saying.
It’s more, if my life were to end spontaneously, I would be okay with that. As long as I’m still alive, however, I will continue to make efforts to stay alive.
The feeling, which I share, is more acceptance/apathy, more than giving up when things go wrong. I don’t want to starve to death as much as the next person. But I Thanos snapped his fingers and I was dusted, that’s good. I’m okay with that.
I don’t want to die painfully, I don’t seek death. I just don’t have any strong feelings about not existing anymore.
That’s not really what the meme is saying.
I know, that is why I said “I’ve changed from the meme to:”
For real, even the work of opting out seems exhausting. Can I just stop being already.
Wants
by Phllip LarkinBeyond all this, the wish to be alone:
However the sky grows dark with invitation-cards
However we follow the printed directions of sex
However the family is photographed under the flag-staff -
Beyond all this, the wish to be alone.Beneath it all, the desire for oblivion runs:
Despite the artful tensions of the calendar,
The life insurance, the tabled fertility rites,
The costly aversion of the eyes away from death -
Beneath it all, the desire for oblivion runs.Passive morbid ideation vs suicidal ideation.
Yep. I don’t want to kill myself. But sometimes I fantasise about a heart attack or something finishing me off.
I want to have never experienced existence so I won’t know what I am missing when I no longer exist.
I also don’t want to experience the pain of dying. I just want to not be alive.
Even that’s not entirely true. I want to live. I want to exist. Just not here, on Earth.
Totally unrelated, but how do you get a username like that.
The “display name” field accepts emojis and other funky stuff that the username itself doesn’t.
ok thnx
“I don’t wanna die. I sometimes wish I’d never been born at all.”
I don’t wanna die I just want to be dead. What’s so hard to understand?!
Would be pretty dope if I could snap fingers out of existence
I want this superpower so bad
It works be even more dope of you left my goddamn fingers alone.
Be me passing a graveyard.
