How often, if at all, do you wish you weren't born?

More often . Seems like I have no purpose, can't find my thing, never-ending supply of problems.

What's the point of life?

What's the point of being here?

To work everyday to pay for a box to live in and a maintenance for a car to drive to work?
To pay for insurance?
To deal with flakey people and never Garner any real connections?
To never be included?
To never experience love?
To work til you die?
To help other,? What for? What are we all here for?
An experiment?

Those thoughts come almost daily...and being around my parents made me wish I'd never been born sometimes. I'm slowly healing from that trauma now that they're gone. To keep my mind out of the black hole, I try to stay busy doing happy/fun things and interesting work.

@SW-User what do you do for work?
I try to have fun too but it gets old doing things alone most times. Can't share with anyone cause no one cares to hear trips etc that you've taken

@iamnikki I hear you about doing things alone... Since my divorce, I miss going out to eat most of all. It freaks me out going to restaurants alone -- I feel as if all the waitresses are staring at me. 😆

I'm retired but stay busy with cooking, music research, reading, watching documentaries, yard work etc. Plus, I'm decluttering 70 years of junk from my parents' house. All of that keeps my mind off the bad stuff.

@SW-User Good, we all deserve the best out of life. 🌹

@SW-User yea, sometimes I want to try new restaurants too but face the same problem.
Music research? Like what?

SW-User

@iamnikki I've learned to cook the kind of restaurant food I miss, such as Thai, Indian, Chinese, Mexican, and German.

I research a wide variety of popular recorded music of just about any genre, the exceptions being recordings that are exclusively for children, religious service or holidays. I also make an exception for rap music (too much talking).
