Bro, I've been alive and suffering all this time, watching the world roil and boil every single day, trying to figure out how and if any of it means anything to me, and you're telling me I don't even get to see how it works out? **** you. I want to see how global warming turns out. I want to know if we ever get out of the solar system. I want to see if Israel nukes Iran first or vice versa. I've invested a lot of ****ing time staring at this **** and I deserve to have my curiosity sated. I can always take a leap off a cliff if life ever gets too real but I'd still like the option of not dying.

sounds to me like you get something out of observing the world

I can completely relate to that btw

That's why I prefer life to non life

It's not a big commitment cause as soon as it happens you're dead thus there's nobody to continue to be committed. It's just lights out for you.

Bro, sometimes I turn a five second interaction into a thirty second explanation of the weird thing I just said because I was seized by paranoia and tried to figure out seven ways of saying something innocuous at the same time I was trying to say it. There have been times where I was unemployed and didn't leave the house for days, weeks at a time, and didn't have any meaningful social interactions with anyone for months other than a small handful of people who are just sort of in my life, and when I did leave the house it became the most terrifying thing in the world to manage eye contact: making eye contact, keeping eye contact without staring, choosing whether or not this person passing me by required an instant of eye contact or if it would be reasonable to pretend they didn't exist, and of course making eye contact that wasn't just weird. And while you're doing that of course your walking goes right out the window so you gotta make sure you're not walking like a weirdo while not creeping people out with eye contact.

Basically everything scares me.

Immortality is much scarier than death. The knowledge of a certain end is what makes it all bearable. That doesn’t mean I’m not afraid to die. I am.

It’s really a hell of an endeavor.

Not to mention actually having to go through with it. I can't imagine what it feels like putting a gun in your mouth. I think it's probably right up there with childbirth as far as intense experiences go.

I took it to that point a few times. Not really planning to pull the trigger but just to feel the comfort in the fact I could. Loaded safety off finger on the trigger gun in my mouth.

Wouldn't be anywhere else tbh.
