I’ve been trying to discover some meaning in life but keep coming to the conclusion that there isn’t one, because there isn’t. I wish I had a delusion like most people in order to get some fulfillment out of this, but I don’t, I never have, and I can’t lie to myself to create one. I’m too much of a realist, and I see how shitty this world is, and how pointless it all is and I just don’t want to be a part of it. I really hate life. Not mine in particular, although mine does indeed suck in many ways, but life in general. I can’t cope with anything, and I can’t have a meaningful relationship with anyone because there’s no certainty in anything.  I don’t know what to do with my life because there’s nothing I want to do. Life is nothing more than a small blip between infinite non-existance, and the short existance we have fucking sucks and is so trivial. So why bother.
I could keep going with this but I think I already wrote too much. I would just like to meet some people like myself, who aren’t in denial or too feeble minded to understand like I do.

The trick is to try and manufacture meaning for your life. Keep yourself distracted doing whatever it is that makes that short span between birth and non existence worthwhile.
That’s a lot easier said than done, and you’re the only person who can decide what gives your life meaning. It’s all impermanent anyways, so there’s no point in getting too attached to anything or taking it all too seriously.
Yeah, I agree with what you’re saying. It’s either suicide, which is very difficult to actually go through with. Live miserably until death finally comes, which is very easy but sucks. Or find something to distract ourselves from the fact that there is no purpose until death shows up. That last one can be difficult, but is probably the best option as much as I hate to admit it.
Someone once told me: ‘Man, what would be the point of life without afterlife?’
Can you imagine that? Can you imagine how limited is that mind compared to the infinite non-existence and the short existence we have on planet Earth.
I share your views.
You came to the right place. Welcome aboard earbuds, and thanks for sharing a part of your story.
We are born to wait for death. No meaning to life we just wait until we die.
Glad to hear from some like minded sensible people. If only everyone would accept life for what it is it would make things easier, but being surrounded by delusional idiots that are happy for no real reason makes me feel even worse.
It’s tough living in a city without an NFL team. I miss the Chargers. What do people do in the sticks? The Ducks aren’t looking so good this year.
Do ghosts in the afterlife keep up with sports? Do you get in for free? Does anyone care? IDK.

I don’t think so. They are too busy writing celebrity autobiographies.
wtf are you talking about?
i don’t think you can really say that life is meaningless unless you experienced everything the world has offered. if you have never experienced true happiness, perhaps you cannot say what there is to truly live for.
