Get my health back so I can do everything I thought was there forever.
post
stable family, have a better childhood, have confidence, believing I won't kill myself, being proud of myself
I have a hard time thinking of things I want to do but can't. Maybe horny stuff? There are people I would sleep with if that didn't have undesirable social consequences. Otherwise if I really want to do something, I do it.
Die
Two chicks at the same time

Transition, change my name, teach myself Blender so I can while away my 40's making the animations I dreamed of since I was a teenager... Ironically all of this is impossible because I am too broke to get out from under the thumb of my dumbass Boomer parents
Stop "working" as in regular day job. There would be so many things I'd like to do and help other people - aside from that I am also medically severely disabled and it would be great to have the time to live better.
But no chance, gotta be "productive". (even though not USA but at least I'm not broke because of the circumstances)
Overthrow the US Government. And Restore the Constitution.
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.
Own a home, be in a long term relationship, have a career worth a shit.
I'm turning 40, "uneducated" because I never "found myself" and had to support myself right out of highschool. Single for almost a decade. Working a dead end factory job. It's not happening. :/
I also went right to work after high school. Some of my jobs were dead-end as recently as 2020, but I found better work in which I can flourish. I'm also in a wonderful relationship and got married, in my 40s, to someone I met after a long time alone and a long-term abusive partner before that.
Things can get better.
(I'm a city-dweller who will probably never own a home, though. Fuck real estate prices, but at least my apartment isn't bad at all.)
good news is plenty of people are educated and single and own homes... and feel the exact same way as you.
I meet them all the time.
I pretty much gave up on dating, "no one" seems to be able to find what they're looking for and dating parasites apps have made the issue 1000000x worse... When your world of potential dates expands dramatically and they're all a swipe away the dating pool becomes a buffet table and the perfect dish is just one more swipe away... And another swipe... And another swipe... Pass on all these people, the next will be the perfect one... And another swipe...
Get a good paying job I don’t hate. I don’t have to love it, but something that pays really well that I don’t mind doing.
I’ve got nothing past high school and can’t afford to go to school at this point. Trying to support a family on a grocery dept manager salary isn’t very easy, but I don’t know what job I could even do without going back to school first.
Can't is a loaded term. It's the difference between improbable and impossible, and that's a big difference.
Anyway, I'd like to get the ball rolling on world peace and the abolition of heirarchal societal structures. Definitely not impossible, but it's going to take a whole lot of time, effort, persistence and luck.
Realistically, nothing, for my life is pretty sweet (thank God) and I sorta want for nothing. But, from a more silly approach, fly, maybe? Breathe underwater? I'm not that creative. 🤷♂️
Buy RAM.
I want to travel. I want to see the world, see new sights, experience new things, meet new people, get a bunch of souvenirs. But it's just too damn expensive.
Quit my job and become a musician full time. I have a mortgage, a lifestyle, and a person to support.
I want to be the cause of all AI and bigtech companies to go under.
Buy a house in the country where I won't have neighbors in my business every time I walk out the door.
I want to find a job that I can work from home. As a person who has seizures I quit factory work for my own personal safety after having a seizure on a factory floor. The thought of having a seizure while driving to any job is terrifying. The thought of having a seizure during a teams meeting sounds absolutely delightful.
I want the ability to kill multiple people instantly at the same time just by using my mind. I think I can help the world out if about 2 to 3 dozen people were suddenly dead. Maybe more.
Take a year off and do nothing but record music. But that would take a fiscal miracle.
I want a community. Doesn't have to be physical, just a discord where I'm not the only one checking in daily. Dumb memes and inside jokes, coordination to game occasionally but nothing demanding. People to share my ups and downs with and to share theirs in kind.
I tried to make one, join one, so many times. Gaia online, discord channels, Warframe clans, Minecraft servers, community gardens, secret societies, social clubs. They all just fizzle. Held together by my desperate attempts until I burn out and come back to find it vacant..
I want to have a family. I have wanted it my entire life.
Been trying my entire life, but every person I date hates me or hates children, so having a family is with them is straight out. I also get offered a lot of casual relationships/sex, but rarely anything serious.
I can't seem to ever attract anyone who likes or wants children, it sucks. Been banging my head against this wall for 20 years now.
Study architecture and history. But history doesnt bring you money And for architecture it seems so faar i need to get another degree first from how i got told from a Uni
Cobble. I've tried, but I just can't seem to get the knack of it. I can sew my own clothes but footgear is forever beyond me.
Turn it around.
How much time have you felt worrying about people you used to see on those sites?
I'm guessing you hardly notice their absence.
