RaptorChrist said: Suicide hotline: 1-800-273-8255 That's for USA. I'm sure wherever you live there is someone you can talk to. But to answer the question, I don't think making an app or filming yourself are good suggestions, as you said yourself that you don't know how to begin making an app, and you don't seem like you would have the qualities or personality to strike it big on a streaming platform. My suggestion is to just find a simple, minimum wage job and to go to work everyday. Again, the laws are different depending on your country, but if you work full-time and don't make much money, you will probably be eligible for assistance. Now for a reality check (hope this helps): Man, what if your parents did pass away today? You would be fucked. It's time to start getting shit sorted out instead of feeling bad for yourself. If you think that by acting so depressing other people are going to give you handouts, you are wasting your time. Don't you feel bad about having to burden your parents all these years, and judging by your attitude, I don't imagine you are a joy to be around. Sorry if this is harsh, but this isn't the first time you've started this discussion, and I would've hoped to see improvement by now, but damn, you are acting the same way you did before. What's your goal with this? It seems like you get some sort of twisted satisfaction out of being a low-life. You don't sugar-coat anything you say, and if anything, you seem to trying to make yourself look hopeless. Just my thoughts. |
If I wanted to suicide I wouldn't be calling a number that would try to stop me. :L
Your answer to my question doesn't actually answer it, you're just saying to do the one option, get a job.
I'm well aware of reality as I've said in the first post, that just doesn't motivate me though. Wont lie, handouts would be nice, but I'm not expecting them. My goal was to see if there was an answer to my question. I'm fine talking about myself if that's what people want to focus on instead, and yes it is satisfying, outside of the internet I don't talk to anyone.

Whether it is 9-5 job, a brilliant app, or game streaming or whatever else, you still need to work a bit to get that to benefit you. 2, Find a partner willing to support you being a bump at home. 3. Being on welfare (hopefully in a country that provides housing, if not then living on the street). 4. Living in jail / mental institution (same benefits as welfare but no freedom, but no need to worry what you will eat. may get killed or raped in prison though) 5. Death |
Any advice on getting into jail?

lol if it were that easy I would.
I've had two, both of which I only got due to networking that I no longer have, and both of which I left on bad terms due to social issues. I didn't feel any purpose or a sense of pride and accomplishment (lol) doing them, but they did give money yes. My body is grown but my mind is that of a child, no responsibility and no independence. It's unlikely I could get another job given my work history, my lack of marketable skills, my lack of work ethic, and how long it's been since I last worked. Even if I did I doubt I would maintain it given I lost two already and nothing has changed to prevent another repeat. It's great that you got out of a similar rut, but they key difference is you had someone tangible you cared about motivating you. Actually things could get worse, more failures will only add more anger and frustration to the vast pool of it I already have inside. I'd like to think I'm a pretty calm rational person and wouldn't do anything crazy but it's easy to say that now. I do get the point, nothing better will happen either, but eh I'm just too lazy to do anything. |
I'm 43 and I still have the mind of a child! I was pretty quiet, lonely, and lacked ambition when i was in high school. I didn't know how to dress, shop for myself, cook, or anything. All I knew how to do was play SNES and jerk off to softcore porn. I wound up joining the Air Force. I didn't even know what sized boots I was supposed to wear and wound up fucking up my feet. I was pretty useless.
Fast forward to now. The Air Force instilled a lot of values in me. I'm confident, sexy, and enjoying life. Join the military. They'll make a man out of you.

Again, sorry I'm being difficult, but you have to imagine I've heard all this before. I'm a lost cause, I wouldn't bother continuing to waste time on me.
John2290 said: You have a choice as you are looking for one here and taking a chance to choose to assess your situation and attempt to plot a course forward in a direction that suits you is far more beneficial than asking people on the internet who don't know your situation. As for me, I've half destroyed and my mind with drugs and frayed my nerves, burned pretty much every bridge socially and with that paved a path for my social abilities too turn to mush and financially wounded myself enough to just be poor enough so no relocation options are available. I'm trapped in a purgatory of my own creation and I've been here long enough now that if I were to get out of it I'd have such a shock to the system I'd probably commit turn it of and not on again yet week after week my mind and will fade a little more. At least I have a job, well sort of, and enough money for comfortable living with little stress. That, a dog and a cat are all I have left. Funny how fast it all happened too. Assess your shit before you find yourself in an unwinable position like me, a slave to the world around you far more than your own will and want. |
I mean I don't have choice but to think to myself since I have no one to talk to anyway. I don't know everything however, so deciding that there's no other options without getting any feedback from people who know things I don't is unwise. It does seem like I was right tho lol.
Damn thats rough, but atleast it sounds like you're just one step away from not being in such a sad spot anymore, assuming your loneliness is the main issue. Given what you said about the drugs, I guess finding friends will be the hardest part. That's what I'm afraid of, working a shitty job til I die for no reason.

Glad it worked for you but um... hell no! xD
You are far too stubborn. You should try to be open enough to accept that maybe doing things your way hasn't been working out, and that listening to others' advice might be the best thing for you.
Also, your rationale is very simple-minded. If you wanted to commit suicide, you wouldn't call a number to try and stop you? How undeveloped and selfish are you? It's like you don't realize that your actions affect other people. I doubt your parents would want to deal with their son dying before them. After allowing you to stay with them all these years and that's how you want to repay them? And the intelligent thought process would suggest that if you are having suicidal thoughts, you'd recognize that they are not good thoughts to have, and try to seek help to prevent those thoughts from destroying your life.
You are so wound up in this depression that you even create your online persona based on it. Lonely Dolphin. You have nothing in life except your identity, and that's a miserable, depressed man who still lives with his parents. But despite how hopeless that sounds, you still cling to it, because that's who you are. In a way, you are proud of your misery. You want others around you to see you as the most unfortunate man in the world. But you don't realize that most people would rather be exposed to positivity.

One cannot be stubborn without someone else also being stubborn.
I thought it'd be obvious but I don't have a good relationship with my parents. I have to try to keep myself from thinking that it's my responsibility to punish them for treating their children like trash, for allowing the family to get to this point. So yeah I don't care what they think, infact it'd be great if my death wounded them, but they wouldn't care, only pretend to, gotta keep up appearances. Hate me for it but I don't think suicide is inherently wrong, it depends on the circumstances.
lol I'm not gonna forgo truth and reality for fake positivity. It's not like I go around talking about myself everywhere for no reason. When I do talk about myself, I'm not gonna hide the fact that I'm miserable because it's not positive and some people wont like it, that's just silly.
With the mindset you're demonstrating, things simply are not going to work out. And I'm sure that you think your beliefs are 100% true and justified because I know from personal experience how a depressed mind works.
You probably need to speak with a psychiatrist. There are quite possibly neurological issues that need to be resolved. Exercise is also an effective way to regulate brain chemicals, typically for the better. Pets as well.
If you keep doing what you're doing, things aren't going to change. If you try something different, maybe they will and maybe they won't. Up to you if you want to take that chance.
