Wish my parents didn't have me, so that I wouldn't exist.

submitted by Jesus-Christ from self.antinatalism

I very rarely find joy in the things I do these days, and when I do - it's only for a short period of time. Had my parents never had me, I wouldn't of been such a financial burden. They wouldn't have to feed another mouth and I would cease to exist. It's the best of both worlds and yet people find reproduction beautiful whilst half of them are either too poor or incapable of bringing up a human being to begin with. Humans in general are shitty creatures where the amount of damage we have caused to not only Earth but to future generations is irrepairable. Life in general is a struggle made even shittier by those who trivialise poor mental and physical health.

Couldn't have said it better myself. If I tried it'd be 20 times longer and not nearly as good.

Oh trust me, I have many pages saved in a google document and across multiple forums/subreddits that are as long as you say yours will be. I've just had a lot of time to think about it.

On a positive note, depressed people have a more realistic perspective. They studied "normal" people and depressed people playing video games, killing aliens. After the game they ask them how many aliens they killed. "Normal" people will over estimate by a wide margin, "5000" while depressed people will estimate far more accurately, "200" when the real number is 187.

I don't recall the exact numbers but that was a real thing, on BBC or something about 5 years ago, stuck in my memory like a fork.

An alien's fork.
