      @josjonston Most likely, this will be the case. Man - his "I" is not the matter of which he consists. We ourselves are nothing, information that comes from nowhere during the formation of “our” consciousness. What changes for such information after it is deleted after death? Nothing. We will again arise as someone and somewhere, as we have already arisen now. When I look into outer space, I realize that I was not there. If I were energy/matter, then by what miracle did I manage to become a person? Even air is matter... In this case, our birth seems like a real miracle. But the truth is that we come from nowhere, and death is only a return to the primary state.

    I had memory loss from a head injury when I was 15, maybe a week and a half completely erased. Yet, somehow, when my memory returned I was aware that time had passed and could almost feel that my consciousness had taken a rest, it was turned off. I think this is closest I’ll get to not existing, and I’ll admit it was quite peaceful. I felt like my soul had rested somehow.

      Once I also thought that this world was a prison in which I would die forever. But the truth is that this world gave me an existence that I had never had before. And he will not make me forever dead, because before birth I was already “dead like each of us. It is foolish to think that your fleeting existence in this world will leave at least some imprint on your soul - which is nothing itself.

    The worst part about life is its not consensual
    Ur forced into life and then forced to live by the rules of others with no freedom to do what you want unrestricted
    Other people created you
    Other people rule you
    Sometimes I wish I could just take a break from life just rip my soul from my body or just teleport somewhere else
    Constantly questioning why this place
    I ask why we exist but we never asked to exist we were forced to exist by our parents who created us
    They never asked if we wanted to exist they also can’t ask either but if we made the choice to not exist why is that seen as bad
    We’re forced to live literally and by also not being allowed to die
    You created me without my consent but I can’t die without yours
    Why do you have say in my existence and whether or not I can or can’t end it
    Why are we forced to live and why is it seen as bad to want to end a life you never wanted
    It’s my life not yours but the truth is it isn’t my life cuz my life exists because of somebody else
    Whatever pain death would bring others is forced they wouldn’t even feel pain if they or I or both never existed
    Especially when people have kids on accident
    You didn’t plan and or want kids and now they are forced to not only live but also live with the fact they basically never were supposed to exist

    Someone once told me this: 'When you sleep, you are not always guaranteed to wake up.'
    This effected me.
    I may think similar to what I thought back before I was disclosed to this statement, but I try to live my life to the fullest.
    I have (or used to have) an ideology for ceasing to exist.
    Sleep is often considered an escape. People like Shakespeare wrote Macbeth in 1606, and one of the best quotes is 'Macbeth hath murther sleep' (Macbeth has murdered sleep), which in context means that Macbeth has lost _his_ own escape from reality.
    If we 'murder' our sleep, we are stressed, and need help.
    Stress can have physical symptoms, and can be a large cause of anxiety and/or depression.

I woke up crying really bad and for a moment in that dream I thought I died and went to heaven. The thing is...im an atheist

    I've felt this way on and off. As a sci-fi fan I've sometimes wondered why deep interstellar space exploration has such an immense pull. Travelling in an environment that is more lethal than anything on earth with no chance of returning, eventual loss of communication with Earth and minimal chance of reaching the intended destination alive.
    Yet, given the chance of going on a one way trip to oblivion I'd jump at the chance.
    It's not even death that is the main attraction but just the process of disappearing into nothingness, totally disconnected from everything and everyone and returning to the state of insignificance to the universe from where we all originated.

    I was in a car crash that almost killed me this year. Up until this point in my life I had never really given much thought about what comes after death. Since my car crash though, it made me truly come to the realization that there is very likely nothing after death, which terrifies me. This immense fear has had such a hold on me this year that I have felt paralyzed. Sometimes I wonder if it is better to not have existed than to exist at all.

      I find it absolutely hilarious how we believe how special we think we are, yet reality is: we are nothing. Sounds obvious enough, but when you look at the concept of 'the afterlife' and deities in religion, you can see this clear as day. It is only a false concept invented for control of the masses, to justify a war or to deter them from what they really want within themselves. The afterlife is such one thing: die, repent all sins, and you'll be good to go spending eternity in a heavenly garden with all you could want. That sounds incredibly boring when factoring in human nature.
      Deities are another thing: omnipotent, supposedly-all-knowing beings beyond space and time that created us specifically for.... what, exactly? Merely a concept meant to quell fears of the unknown, the depressive thoughts that our lives do not matter in the long run.

    if i could take back my existence i would without a first thought.

Now I'm 15 and I have a boyfriend and we've been together for almost an year. I'm very happy to have him, he's my reason for waking up in the morning, but I know he's getting tired and he even told me that he's kinda starting to lose feelings, but he does want to continue and try to regain them. I know that if he leaves me, everything is gonna get even worse than it ever was, but this time I'm just gonna refuse any help and see how much I can go.

      why not try getting better at things that you aren't good at. Like for example I'm not good at making friends, but I still try talking to people at school though I am still younger than you by 6 years maybe it's just naivety

    I’ve felt this almost my whole life but I feel it has shaped me into who I am. I’m definitely a cosmic nihilist and having clinical depression that is still mostly unmedicated definitely doesn’t help but I think this feeling of not watching to exist mostly stems from my desire to not have to deal with all of life while still being quite afraid of dying

    Existence is painful
    Sometimes I imagine I never existed at all How comfortable would that be?
    No one knows me, sees me or remembers me
    I'm nothing at all
    I'm not here
    I am nothing
    But unfortunately I'm here now
    I will suffer forever even when I die.

    The thing is: “exist” are very undefined after ones continuous thinking self diminishes. Without a subjective observer we can’t possibly be sure anything ever existed and maybe I am the only thing ever existed and everything else is just an imagination and in that case I can “not exist as if I haven’t never existed”.
    I think the closest we can ever be to such a state is with psychoactive substances. I have tried one and under the influence of it my sense of time is so lost that even if I can remember everything happened and rationally know it is just half a day it felt like half a year. Sort of ironic the best way to experience not existing if by the very existence of our physical self and the physiology linked to that.

    I have lived with anxiety and depression my whole life (I'm 43 now) and most recently in the past few years I have developed a deep sense of existentialism. I've questioned my existence and my purpose in life and have come to the conclusion that I don't want to exist anymore. I don't like this world, I don't like the people in it, and I don't want to play societies games. I don't want to be a part of anything anymore. And so I have withdrawn from everything. This is how I live my life now and it is far more peaceful. Not perfect, but at least my anxiety and depression are far lower than they were before.

  • @Flutistno3
    @Flutistno3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    There is some deep piece of psychology involved in this. There are active unalive thoughts, and passive unalive thoughts. The "I don't want to exist" emotion is a passive thought. You don't have the desire or plan to actually commit the unalive act, but you don't want to be, in fact, alive. I have been plagued by both active and passive unalive thoughts for most of my life. I have depression that is antidepressant resistant, and chronic anxiety. My meds keep me from active unalive thoughts, but I have the passive kind on a daily basis. I wonder how long my life will last, how long God will make me stay here. For me, the moment my life ends will be a release from pain and suffering. It really doesn't matter to me if there is an afterlife or not, because at least the pain of this existence will end either way.

    I know how it feels to not exist, like literally, all u need to do is to look up and start imagining and asking yourself how the world would be if u weren’t here, how the people you know would be, and how your family would be, think about the people you lost and ask yourself “what if I had never been born”. If you think deep enough about that, to the point that you almost believe it, it will give the feeling of not existing, sounds unbelievable and silly I know, maybe I explained it badly, but I used to do that when I was kid and it always gave me chills and an indescribable feeling.
    Edit: when I wrote this comment I still wasn’t watching at the point where he almost describes what I said, but basically what he said about the bad mental state you get is probably what happened to me, I just didn’t know it at the time because I was just a little kid.

    Recently my desire to not exist has been very strong. I see no genuine point in my existence anymore.
    My entire existence has been pain and suffering these past few years, i've just been surpressing those feelings and distracting myself. Sure, i laugh with friends or family and go places, do things. But at the end of the day the overwhelming desire to not be here anymore is still there, in the back of my mind.
    It's been especially bad these past few weeks. I sleep as long as i can to not be awake, i rot in my room all day when i do have to be. I try to distract myself with friends, working on things or doing chores but i can only keep myself busy for so long.
    I know that i'm a failure and i'll never amount to anything, i know that i'm a disappointment to my dad, no matter how hard i try. I'm trying dad, i'm trying to get a solid job and do something with my life but at the end of the day i'm still mentally unwell. I'm sick, and no therapist or doctor has been able to help me all these years. I'm tired dad, i just wanna be held for a while.
    I'm sorry dad.
    I have not been existing for myself these past few weeks, maybe even months. I have no genuine reason to still be here, the only reason that i still am is because my boyfriend will not give me his permission to go. He cannot accept that i only exist in pain and suffering. That i just wanna set my soul free from this rotting body and find happyness again. I want to close my eyes one final time and wake up in a place where its calm, where i dont have to worry about anything anymore.
    I'm in pain. Mentally, physically and emotionally. There is a constant dread and guilt eating me up. But i just have to drown it out and act as if i'm okay, for the sake of others.

I have struggled through my entire life, and I always said throughout that I didn't want to be alive, but when I was with the idea of suicide I was conflicted. I don't want pain or suffering. I also just thought I never wanted to die by my own hands, but I also don't want to be alive. This video really explains the feelings I have struggled with. I feel at peace with this closure of knowing it's something real and that my thoughts have some answers.

    After reading so much comments, I decided to write this.
    For everyone out there, Buddhism is the only religion that teaches people how to never be born, it's incredibly hard, but achievable. I'm not telling you to embrace buddhism, I'm just telling y'all to look at it like a philosophy. I don't want to be that person who promote his religion everywhere he goes, but when I see these people in the comments who desperately want to not exist, I couldn't keep myself from saying this. Go and learn buddhism, forget everything that you think you know.

    I occasionally find myself wishing I was never born. I find existence fascinating, but it's too painful to endure at times. I find comfort in nihilism because it made me realize that, even if I mess up, nobody is going to care eventually, and I'm not constrained by the desire of finding purpose in life. Nonetheless, sometimes I just get tired of existence because I think to myself that, if nothing matters, why am I forced to feel pain or grief or sorrow? Death would make all those problems go away, though, as mentioned in the video, evidence of my existence would remain for some time, and it would have been better to not exist altogether

    I've never imagined find other person talking about non existence. I am mathematician, and in my own life I've been examining ideas that fit with my conviction about me, universe, purpose, problems and so on. Never had the experience of truly been part of anything (completeness). One day I found myself examining the non existence concept, but don't have anyone to talk about, scientifically speaking, cause the limited believes of my surroundings create a scenario of non questioning.
    Said that, I've never thought that I would find this type of talk on TH-cam. Interesting outcome in the end of the day.
    Listening concepts and arguments from others, that are close related to ours is the same feeling when u find a friend that thinks relatively equal, this is a feeling that says (for me) that I am not crazy and not alone.
