What was the best period of your life?

[nosense-user]

For me it was the last 4 months of 2021

2019-2021 I'd say, covid made life okish for me. then it went down

 

[Forveleth]

Anything before the age of 12 was great but also 28 to about 30 were some of the best years of my life.

None, there could never be anything positive about existing rather it's the opposite, to suffer in this existence is the most torturous, dreadful abomination that just causes all this pain, cruelty and torture with no limit as to how much agony one can feel.

It's so terrible how humans torture others by imposing this existence at all, existence to me will always be the most terrible mistake that has only ever tortured existing beings and I'll always find it torture to exist, no matter what only non-existence could ever be positive for me, I find it so deeply undesirable to suffer in this existence in every way.

I find it so painful and horrible how the torture of existing can continue for decades longer just for one to face the extreme agony of old age, to me the existence of life will always be the most terrible, devastating tragedy, I'll just always see existence as the problem and it's one that just causes all this dreadful suffering.

Of course there were some problems, but probably July of 2022 to March of 2025. Trying not to count childhood as that's just an obvious answer and it's going to be clouded in a ton of bias since I don't remember it too well.

 

[dreamofnofuture]

Right now, I'd say, now that I'm no longer a child. As a legally adult NEET, I can govern myself, don't have to interact with anybody I don't want to, and have the most time to do what is best for me.

The culture of work and jobs in the US is terrible. Few workers protections, terrible pay, the expectation of an unbalanced work-home life. You have to destroy yourself for your employer, for companies who don't care about your livelihood. But in general, I think civilization is becoming deeply anti-human.

I'm still suicidal, sure, but that won't ever really change. It's part of my personality, or a result of it at least. I will always find life conceptually unbearable.​

2021 was really solid. It's hard to say if it was the "best" period in life, I accomplished a lot and had a loving partner by my side (two things I lack now), but I didn't reach any major "milestones" in my life that year. As if that's the only thing that defines a good year... but you know what I mean.

Sorry. Locking in. 2021, final answer.

2022-2024. Last years of highschool, had a group of friends to hangout with, had minimal existential crisis (though they were already present), and still maintained various illusions in my sad human brain.

With time comes wisdom, some say. What they don't say, however, is that this same wisdom can be the cause of our downfall.

2023 for sure, that girl made me feel more alive than anything that ever have before.

Even if it was wrong and i betrayed all my principles to connect and bond with her it was amazing.

I've never shared so many common interests with someone, spent hours/nights on end talking about video games lore/tabletop/movies/tv shows/anime/music and exchanging ideas and opinions.

Each second i spent with her made all the troubles and pain i went through in life worth it. She was the most amazing human being i've ever met not matter anything she could have said.

She was so sweet and shy, looking for reassurance, love and warmth and yet she was strong fierce and confident some other time, i loved both sides of her so so so much, i couldn't believe she was reald because for me she was perfect in every shape and form.

There's not a single time i was bored with that person, i've always seeked their time and attention and when she gave it to me, i felt like it wasn't real, i was in heaven or she was playing a prank on me but damn it felt divine.

The most amazing and beautiful girl i've ever bonded with and yet it was so brittle, so distant, so foolish but i don't regret it and i wish i could relive it againg and again for ever.

2023 was the year i felt the most joy and happiness in my life even if it lead for me to feel the most pain aswell and made me feel miserable in the end, i'd trade it all to relive that forever and i know for sure it's wrong but it cannot be helped.

I've been a fool and i'll keep being one.

Probably 2018, the first 3/4 of it. It was right as I was coming into adulthood at the end of high school, but before my mental struggles started to really manifest and take over. Honestly 2015-2018 were good years.

I know a lot of people on this site struggled through high school. I was happy. My life went to hell in 2019-2020 and has only ever gotten worse since.

 

[NyxCascade]

Honestly, theres been good days but theres never actually ever been good long lasting periods of times if you get what i mean? My moods are fucked and ruin that for me lol so i cant specifically say but I went to a limp bizkit concert in 2025 march and i really enjoyed that

 

[endboss]

the year 2000.. so long ago :(

 

[itsgone2]

2024. That's it. Even then I wasn't living correctly but I was happy. One year in 53. So much wrong in this life. It truly needs to end.

My 20s were the best part of my life.

Hmmm well I cant recall. Some memories of vacations that I could forget about the sad things for a while and my mom is actually nice (shes changed now )

Been depressed since I was a kid so I guess thats the only good memories I have.

It sounds like a life-defining experience. Was it a sexual relationship?

[violetforever]

i dont even think i have one. i can say 5-6 years old but its only because i cant really remember being that age and its my favorite age to look at photos of myself from and wish i could be that little again.

 

[star.trip]

Unfortunately, I've had so few good times; the only good ones were with my grandmother.

 

[westerly_merlin]

Hard to pick out any time I was not anxious, I would say 2007 was a good year, work was too busy for me to worry about much. Personal relationship was dogshit though!

 

[Boardwalk]

First few months of Covid, Still excited about finishing school but the dread I experience now hadn't crept in
