Stop sitting around trying to find some kind of meaning that fits the universe in the grand scheme of things. Part of the fun in life is creating your own meaning. Do whatever the fuck makes you happy. Hang with your friends, explore relationships, whack off in your bathroom at 3 in the morning with the door unlocked hoping your Dad doesn't bust in to give you an adrenaline rush, go to concerts, jam out, just go out and do shit. It may not impact the world, but it will impact your world. And as long as you've given yourself a meaning, it doesn't matter what the world as a whole thinks because you're happy. You spent life doing what makes you happy. At least, thats how I interpret it. My thoughts become too depressing and confusing when I try t figure the fucking universe out. There could be an after life or there could not be. I just want to make the most of the time I have now. And I just spent some of that time relating this to a stranger on an internet forum who is probably going to shrug it off. Thanks a fuck ton, MC.
like with many things I think you're all wrong. I hope thats not the truth. thats a very depressing and lazy way to look at life. If I ever do start to think like that I probably will kill myself
If anyone's way of thinking is lazy, its yours. "I know there is a grand meaning to life, despite not one shred of evidence supporting this. Hell, i dont even know what the meaning is. But i believe it." Instead of accepting the reality you're scared of.
Has nothing to do with fear, but wanting life to mean something. Im wasting my time if this is all pointless.
Yeah, and you're scared of that. No one wants it this way lol. You think i want to believe that people are born and die and thats pretty much it? Not at all. But i'm not gonna believe in some bullshit religion or ideology to make myself feel better.
The fact that we have struggles, ambitions, and dreams beyond simple biology says to me that there is more to life.
Whatever. Fine, there is no meaning. We're all here only to die. I should kill myself now because all of my actions are pointless, and my desires mean nothing. Whoopie.

You should, but you wont.
I might. Only thing keeping me back is my brother. But the thought has been occurring to me more and more lately. I am definitely fully excepting and embracing of the idea of my death though. The sooner the better. I just don't want my brother, and others I care about, to have to go through burying me.
Whether there really is meaning or not, that's the most pathetic and cowardly solution to your problems.
If life means nothing, then it doesn't matter. I'd rather just get it over with than waste my time pretending to be happy and pretending to matter to other people.
Committing suicide is just to escape your problems, or lack of happiness/meaning.
Sounds cowardly to.me.
It takes a lot to consider killing yourself. To really consider doing it. If you get to the point where you realize nothing you can do can make your life better, then why not? Some people can't escape their problems, or solve their problems in life. So they solve them in death.
Its better to die on your own terms, than live an unhappy lie alone.
But you have the power to change your life. This is what I don't understand about your pro-suicide argument. Why roll over and accept defeat when you can easily get up and be like "Fuck it, I don't like this so I'm changing this." And before you throw that "Well girls don't like me and they never will and I can't change that" shit my way, you shouldn't let a few bad experiences ruin something that has endless possibilities for you. Bro, you're He-Man and you have the fucking power. Get up, dust your self off, and keep pushing. If you kill yourself, you won't feel anything which won't allow you to feel the nothing you want to feel by offing yourself because you physically can't feel anything.

Sometimes you hit a certain point in your life that there is no more to change. There is no more to try. So people kill themselves.
Personally, I no longer know what I want. My passion and drive for every little thing fluctuates constantly. I don't know what I want to do with my life. I don't know what I believe anymore. I don't believe in love, yet am obsessed with one of my best friends who will never look at me the same way. I don't know where I'm going after school. Where I am going to work. What I am going to be doing for a job even. I can't get an internship. I suck in my field as far as schooling is concerned. I don't know if I am going to live in Illinois, or Nashville, or somewhere else. I'm a failure musically. I'm not good at anything.
I could keep going on, but you get the point. When life becomes so uncertain that nothing is really all that enjoyable anymore, and your passion dies, sometimes you just kinda want it to end. And no amount of fighting through it will help that.

I put everything we have in common in bold (though I do believe in love). Trust me, I know what you're going through. It sucks dick, dude. And I'm not going to pretend like I haven't contemplated ending my life, be it seriously or just in small bursts of depressive thought. But bro, we're only 21. We don't have everything figured out just yet and that's fine. What's the rush? We have time. All it takes is dedication and drive. I'm guilty of letting a few bad experiences poison some shit for me, but I always come back to believing that things are going to work. What good is killing ourselves going to do (outside of giving MU a reason to celebrate)? Honestly? We're only going to be missing out. It won't solve anything. No matter how depressed, I always find one thing that I think to myself "Holy shit, if I was dead I'd miss this." Its silly, I know. But it helps me. For me, I'm blessed with a group of friends I consider family. And then there's music. I can't let Maiden release a new album and me not be here to listen to it. Fate worse than death on my end. Finding positives in overwhelming negativity isn't easy, but don't give up, man.

No but what does that have to do with anything? Just because I didn't choose to be born doesn't mean that I cant inherit some kind of meaning.
The fact that we have struggles, ambitions, and dreams beyond simple biology says to me that there is more to life.
but whatever makes you feel better man.
Enjoy your abysmal view of the world.

I've already died
You're just the funeral I've been waiting for
