What do you really want to do so bad, but can't? (piefed.social)

I want to just delete my Discord, FB, Reddit, Second Life and other social sites so I can just be focused on myself. But I can't because the guilt of seemingly deserting those I have left, will be hard to deal with.

Not be alive. I'm passively suicidal. I don't have a plan. I'm not going to do anything. I very much know how screwed everyone would be if I wasn't here. I make a lot of people's lives very much better by my actions. I also know that I would miss out on a lot of fantastic experiences (I want to pet fluffy cows so much).

However, my life isn't worth it for myself. I'm middle aged. On the whole, it's been more negative than positive. Don't get me wrong, there have been some amazing highlights. I have wonderful kids and some amazing memories with my spouse and moments in my childhood, but it's all outweighed by the bad. The bad is cumulatively worse than the good, it's net negative.

    Jesus man, first of all, live, you can be happy, some of the time.

    Keep in mind, throwing away your life in suicide is a selfish act, if one insists on ending it all though, why not take some ill intentioned people with you? Just a thought.

    Jesus man, first of all, you might be an asshole

    You waffle immediately from shaming someone for being mentally ill into advocating that they be violent.

    We'd obviously all prefer that people aren't suicidal, and yeah we want to help them. I know I want to live in a world where nobody feels they need to take their own life.

    I don't think suicide is automatically selfish though, you don't know anything about this person's life. Demanding that somebody continue an existence that they find miserable in order for you to not have your feelings hurt is pretty damn selfish though. Do you think that making somebody feel bad will somehow make them feel less bad?

    First of all, yes, I am an asshole, that's what I'm going for, so thanks.

    Second, your arguments here expose you as not a part of the resistance, but a tool of the oligarchy, manipulating us into compliance, no?

    Eat a bag of dicks. Can I still say that? Are you going to take offense and get me cancelled for that phrase? Only because you can't if not.

    Grow the fuck up bro, or quit manipulating us into being sheep led to the slaughter. I guess that makes you the judas goat.
