Life seems so pointless.You’re born, you go to school, get a job then get old and die.Why does life have to be so meaningless and short-lived.If life is so short what’s the point of even living if it’s only to enjoy the little time you have.Sure I may just be 14 but time goes by fast and soon I’ll be out of high school and trying to get a job.I just don’t see the point anymore.Even if I didn’t kill myself I would die regardless 🙁

I thought the same thing when I was 14, and things haven’t changed much. Things just became more real and close. “Getting a job” isn’t satisfying enough, now I need a career. Oh and I need to go to college for 4 more years.
Life does go by fast, which may be why it’s so hard to enjoy it. What’s the point when it’s so short and you have to spend half your life doing shit you don’t want to? You just push through it.
I don’t know. A lot of the time I agree.
But I think all you can really do is try to live relatively healthily, and then do things that make you high with people that you like.
And be an okay good person. That is the most meaningful stuff I can think of.
I feel the same way at 27. What does any of it mean?
hell if i know.
The point is to help others.
Yeah…been there done that, my whole life…to a fault. Sensitive, caring to omg just everyone. And here I am!!
Feeling the same thing here too. I think it doesn’t depend on your age it’s just that… well, life is pointless in itself, no matter how old you are. No one never asked to born, but there you are. You can see that as an opportunity: life is meaningless, and you’re the only one who can decide what will be important to you, what will be your “goal”. Do what you want, and try to be as good as you can to others, as G.W. said. Hell, we’re all on the same boat, after all.
And if you’re gonna die anyway, why wouldn’t you try to live as long as possible ? When you’re dead, you have plenty of time to be… well… dead. All we can do is trying to enjoy being alive and all the possibilities it offers.
sent you an email earlier
I think that’s probably why I smoke pot. My advice party, fuck and do what you want to do. it’s too short to live as somebody’s or something’s *****. Think of the time we live in now as the last hurrah of humanity. Soon enough our ill advised children will inherit an overpopulated shit hole and can fight over what’s left till they kill each other. In more exciting prospects after earth is turned into an unlivable rock from it all in about a couple billion years you get to be sucked into a giant black hole. Maybe the universe is worth sticking around for next big bang. Or it’s worse…..usually much worse. On the bright side you can’t shine brighter than your atoms being ripped apart by infinite gravity… good luck kid either way… If you do kill yourself at least make it a memorable suicide mission. nobody likes to be remembered as the loser that took a bottle of Tylenol only to suffer horribly before dying from excruciating liver failure weeks later
You’re just like me in terms of outlook on the world. I have been trying for months to feel better, but nothing is working. I keep on daunting on the fact that nothing matters. I have no idea what to do, and I honestly don’t think that I can do anything to feel better. Medication has helped, but only to an extent.
Just know that you are not alone. If it helps, you may want to look up things about existential depression or existential nihilism. We’re not the only ones who see the world this way.
It is pointless but your death will lead to nothing but the decomposition of your body. God and religion are something stupid, scared people were taught to believe so that they could continue to deal with the bullshit that rich slave/serf owners imposed on them. “Have faith” in what you cannot prove? What a mindfuck. Have faith this crappy used car will work for the next ten years? Would you believe that?
There is no God and religion is a self-serving fallacy for people that need to be deluded and want to hear that they’re stupid lives mean something. We’re just slaves to the rich and the smart (that are the closest thing to gods we will ever see before we are buried or burnt). If you kill yourself, you will end and your body will rot in the dirt, that’s it. Don’t think there’s anything more. That’s it. Enjoy some tasty food or a breath of fresh air because it won’t get any better and there is no escape that you’d be around to enjoy because there is no heaven. Truth. Deal with it. Bet you can’t.
