Discussion Dying young seems great to me

[Hunter2005]

I feel dying young seems great to me, I don't really want to live till old age. How do you guys feel about dying young?

I guess it depends on what 'young' is to you, but yes, I want to be out before 25.

I don't think it is necessarily bad nor wrong, if one's life is full of suffering and one wishes to exit to avoid future (and most likely worse) suffering, then it can be a relief from many decades of suffering. Also, by dying young it avoids many of the unfortunate fates that humans are destined for, natural causes, infirmity, disease, and many other worse fates that result from age and time.

Dying young can be a blessing or a curse. You never know what life expects for the future, and that's why it's a shot in the dark.
If you're looking at your present and you're not happy with it to the point you can't imagine living longer, than it's uniquely your decision to end with this or not. I personally decided that i won't be here before completing 26 years old (especially if I achieved nothing).

The way that I see it, the less years spent trapped here the better, I despise the fact how I'm 22 and yet I'm still enduring this futile process, I know that I've existed for far too long. I see life as being something so useless and harmful, and the longer that one stays here, the more suffering there is with the potential for existing to get much more unbearable at any moment, so of course I would prefer to return to the state of perfect nonexistence as soon as possible. To cease existing is so incredibly ideal to me.

It's repulsive to me when people invalidate and dismiss the wish to die of younger people, as the fact is that not everyone is delusional enough to wish to delay their inevitable fate when life leads to nothing but being tortured by old age just to die anyway. I personally have awareness that existing here isn't worth enduring and that life is just an unnecessary harm, I view it as always being preferable to never exist at all in the first place.

I hate the sound of ageing, it's something repulsive to me being trapped inside a decaying flesh prison, such a thing could only be a disadvantage to me. I envy all of the people who ended their existence at a much younger age, leaving this world will always seem like such a great thing to me as I see so much beauty in death and everything being forgotten about. Life itself is the true problem for me which can only be solved by death.

Dying young before you achieve consciousness is the best thing that can happen to you

Of course like they have said before better would have been to never have been born

 

[Glandular]

Age doesn't really matter it is all about quality of life for me. Without immense suffering I wouldn't consider ctb.

 

[Worndown]

Instead of an age, it should be about your quality of life. Thinking about it and doing it are different. When it is really time to go, you will know. Until then, keep going forward.

i'm probably going to be better remembered by the others because of how young i was when i died (i'm CBT'ing this month).. not that i'm going to be here to see the aftermath, but at least i won't live to be 20.. i still feel like i'm 13.

 

[adriana233]

It's still so strange to me that people's reaction to a "young death" differs a lot compared to "old death" (quotation marks bc I feel like young and old are pretty broad terms; someone could be young but feel & act old, and vice versa). It's all the same thing, you just cease to exist, why would age matter? And I especially don't understand when someone comments on how many things someone did or didn't do after that person's death, as if to say they shouldn't have died yet or have 'done enough' to die. Mad world

 

[TheSpookyNameGuy]

I'm 25 so still "youngish"

Had this crap go on since birth, tried various methods to kill myself which either didn't work or got stopped by other people, the older i get the more i fear that i will just accept the misery and "Go on" which makes me feel ill. Why people want to live to old age is beyond me but i won't stop them, so why stop me if i want to leave, selfish wankers.

Now most of us will die young, alone and it could have been different. So fucking be it i guess.

Just the other day I got thinking about ageing, mostly from a very superficial prospective; getting old, wrinkles appearing on your face, the body is not what it used to be, you are not the novel thing anymore, you become akin to an old radio that is being thrown in a closet to make space for the brand-new TV. Sure, some people manage to have fulfilling lives and by the time they have to be thrown in the closet, they'll have already enriched their lives enough to be content with it, or maybe their closet will be a new, whole, and fulfilling experience that is worth living, perhaps along with the loved ones that they've collected through life. But that's not the type of life I feel I'm destined to, even as the brand new thing I was the bottom of the barrel; to be frank, it feels as if I've been tossed in the closet at birth

Forgot where I was going with this
