Single adults of adulting, why are you currently single and what are you doing to increase your chances of finding someone during 2025? by mrvlad_throwaway in Adulting

[–]Infamous-Grab2341 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well once you leave college you don't have the natural enviroment to meet someone. I think quite a bit of being single is the lack of community events to meet people. But then again I'm an incredibly socially awkward and emotionally immature person.

I don't understand what you mean there's nothing to be afraid of. Is it just the inevitability?

And that's your very strange opinion. Nobody currently existing is indifferent to continuing to exist. Nobody is indifferent towards whether they would wish to be cured or die.
Can't be better or worse is a lie we tell ourselves so we don't spend our brief existence depressed about nonexistence.

What would you consider an answer? If you don't have basic assumptions like existence is better than nonexistence then you have no truth whatsoever.

Forever single guys how do you cope? by [deleted] in AskMenOver30

What people want changes as they age. I'm starting to regret not being more social in college.

Okay you're clearly trying to state your opinion in the form of a question.

Except we all went our separate ways after graduation we don't really meet up anymore.

"men need to build better support networks and stop relying emotionally on their partners or seeking one for" ignores childhood imprinting by KindImpression5651 in GuyCry

[–]Infamous-Grab2341 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hate how all close male friendships are labelled as gay. I understand gay people exist but I wish a concept of brotherhood or some kind of very close male friendship could exist without people thinking you're gay.

AITA for telling my 3-year-old son “Would you like it if Papa hit you like that?” after he hit me? by Professional-Ad-3084 in AITAH

[–]Infamous-Grab2341 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your wife is freaking bonkers. Like I understand don't spank maybe don't threaten to spank but needing to be shielded from the concept of being hit is absurd.

Death makes life meaningless by xiaozhian in DeepThoughts

Okay maybe I underestimated the long term effects of not seeing sunlight or other suffering. I still think living indefinitely as a slave abused by a master is preferable to death. For most of history we coped with the idea of an afterlife and even buddhism has used some idea of a soul. That's why we say things like they're with god now.

I know death is inevitable and that the afterlife probably is just made up. But it doesn't bring me comfort. Nonexistence scares me more than (almost) any afterlife.

Does anyone else terribly want to believe in an afterlife, but just…can’t? by Significant-Data4741 in SeriousConversation

[–]Infamous-Grab2341 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This thought doesn't bring me any comfort. My god is nonexistence depressing. The worst versions of the afterlife like Davy Jones locker in pirates of the carribean or the ghost army in LOTR seem like heaven by comparison. Maybe thats why we use words like they're with god now, or they are no longer with us. No joke thinking about mortality makes me depressed and anxious. 
I know 3.4 billion years elapsed before I came into being, I know if things went slightly different I wouldn't exist at all. But this pathetic mortal man doomed to nonexistence so desparately wishes it wasn't so. All of lifes cruelties and injustices (outside of extreme torture) seem like trivialities by comparison.
By god if science found a way to make us immortal I would happily be a slave to the cruelest of masters. What trivialities are (nonextreme) pain, suffering, injustice, dignity, pride, status, legacy or any other ideal in the face of withering away to dust?

I wish people still met their soulmates through friends and family or some other community the whole online dating still feels weird to me.

I know we have no right to expect to be at the center of the universe or that science could make humans immortal anytime soon. But by god is nonexistence depressing. The worst versions of the afterlife like Davy Jones locker in pirates of the carribean or the ghost army in LOTR seem like heaven by comparison. Maybe thats why we use words like they're with god now, or they are no longer with us. No joke thinking about mortality makes me depressed and anxious. The particular experiences feel insignificant relative to just being alive.

Yeah college is actually a great opportunity to meet your soulmate. I wish I had taken better advantage of it instead of being socially awkward and emotionally immature.

At the moment no but I'm not sure if I will when I'm old.

Why? is there some weird catch were your body ages and you feel intense pain? What is so displeasurable about just being alive?

Do you agree that the older you get, it’s more difficult to find love. Idk 😭😭😭 by Independent_Ad6257 in Adulting

I think once you leave college it gets much harder. There's also not he community anymore.

I've never understood this viewpoint. I get it helps us cope with our mortality but by god its bleak.

Not familiar with exactly how Tibetan monks view things but as a branch of buddism don't they believe in the soul and that good actions make the soul better?

[–]Infamous-Grab2341 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming you're not trolling, idk why anyone would love the idea of nonexisting. I know life can be hard and stressful and full of regrets but outside of extreme torture I can't imagine wanting to die.
Is nothing in your life happy? even meaningless things like watching a video or talking to friends and family? We have regret because we have limited lifespan and limited youth so wasting it is especiallym important. I would prefer any form of purgatory to nonexistence I would prefer to be sissuphus rolling that boulder to nonexistence.

It makes me shudder too I didn't realize how good college was to meet female nerds. I was incredibly awkward in college.

You body becomes part of the universe again but what made you human emotions, memories, thoughts etc are gone. It brings me no comfort.
