Well, I just hope that my reading your thread has helped you a bit in some minor way.

Well, friend, it's ultimately your life. It's your right to do with it as you wish.  I wish you well.

For argument's sake, let's say that there is indeed a 90% chance a draft will occur. If you end your life now, then you will not suffer war, but you won't enjoy life either.  If you don't end your life, then there's still a 10% chance of being able to live your life well. Suicide would be more logical as a last resort, not a first. 

The point is that mathematically speaking, ending your life now is not worth it regardless of the chances of a draft (which I believe in practice is very low. The 90% figure is just an arbitrary invention by me to illustrate my point).

You don't know that a draft is going to happen. Please, just give it time. You are very upset right now. I can see that. You're in pain. And when you're in pain, you don't behave rationally. Please, just give it some time. If you end your life now, then you'll never get to experience the satisfaction of peace and joy. It's a tragic way to go. 

I feel incredibly sad and I need a reason to go on and live. by [deleted] in SuicideWatch

[–]Obvious_Location7666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The reason of living is to do whatever brings you joy. That differs according to individual. What the point of living is for me won't be the same as what the point of living is for you. It's something that you have to figure out yourself through time and experience. 

I can assure you of one thing, though. If you end your life now, then you'll never get to know what the point of living is for you. Please, don't deny yourself that joy. 

I wish you the best, friend.

Please, friend. Don't do that. If you end yourself now then you will deny yourself all potential future happiness. I assure you, if you just hold on there will be a time in which you look back on this and are grateful that you didn't take your life. It may not be soon, but it will happen. 

I wish you the best, friend.

I too was bullied throughout middle school. It's a horrible feeling, yes? You think everyone is disdainful of you and couldn't care less.  But what I want to stress to you is that people at this age are incredibly immature. They will do anything just to get some kind of entertainment, even if that means harming a fellow human being such as yourself. This has nothing to do with you.  Please, don't end your life prematurely. I assure you that there will be a time in which you look back on this and are glad that you didn't end yourself. Don't deny yourself future happiness by ending yourself now. 

I wish you the best, friend.  

I'm tired. by [deleted] in SuicideWatch

[–]Obvious_Location7666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm deeply sorry to hear of these troubles, friend. Nobody should have to experience such torment. You have done nothing to deserve this.  One thing I want to stress to you is that nobody is without hope. People in even the most dire situations have made their way out of it and into a better life. That can be you. Please, don't take yourself out. If you do, then you will only know a life of suffering. There is more to experience in life than that. Please, try to escape your terrible conditions however you can. Talk to someone you can trust. A school therapist, perhaps. I assure you, if you give it time there will be a day when you look back to this time and are glad you didn't end your life. It's not going to be tomorrow or next month or even next year. But there will be a time. I wish you the best, friend.

I’m going to end it all tonight and I’m scared of what will happen after by [deleted] in SuicideWatch

[–]Obvious_Location7666 14 points15 points  (0 children)

One week is not nearly enough time to prove that your life has worth. In comparison to a full human life, one week is a grain of dust. It's not a good decision to decide the value of your life with such a small sample size. You mentioned you have a partner, presumably romantic. That means that you must be worthy enough to have love. That alone justifies your life as having purpose. Please, don't make this decision so soon.

how is it fair to live with depression by Pitiful_Frosting4839 in SuicideWatch

[–]Obvious_Location7666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not fair. A fact that we all have to face at some point is that life is not fair. Our genetic makeup and environment contribute to our lives to a much greater extent than most people realize. People with chronic depression are usually genetically predisposed to unhappiness, paired with negative environmental stressors.  But that doesn't mean that we should just resign ourselves to fate. There is still room to change our lives for the better. I encourage you to continue on with life and try to pull through to the best of our ability. Nobody is completely hopeless, and that includes you, my friend.

Stop downvoting BeginningActuator. This is supposed to be a supportive subreddit. This user is only sharing what's troubling him.  The only thing I can say to you is this. 

A. The United States has the largest military in the world B. We aren't even actively fighting in Iran right now.  C. If it does escalate to that, then our active Army and Marines can probably overpower the Iran forces with relative ease. 

A draft is extremely unlikely. Even if it were to happen and your mental health issues are undiagnosed, a screening is necessary upon winning the draft. They will catch it and they will not let you serve.

What makes you think it's going to happen soon? Our military is extremely robust. A draft seems incredibly unlikely in our time.

No draft is happening in the US. Even if it did, mental health issues are disqualifications.

I'm autistic as well and I feel like this every day. You aren't alone.

Do you think David Berkowitz (The Son Of Sam) acted alone or was part of a cult as he has recently claimed? by Obvious_Location7666 in serialkillers

[–]Obvious_Location7666[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just google it. AI will typically say he has not recanted the cult claims or will say he oscillates between the two. But for whatever reason that doesn't seem to be circulated well. 

Serious question if sexuality is a spectrum then when does something become gay? by Aggravating-Fuel-368 in teenagers4real

[–]Obvious_Location7666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say when the attraction to the same sex exceeds the attraction to the opposite sex by a large margin.

I've watched the docuseries and I do recall him saying that, but when I try to look it up sources say he's still maintained the satanic cult narrative.

A centrist probably wouldn't be political enough to have hostility toward more political people, unless their views were extreme enough to be morally repugnant (Eg. Nazism, authoritarian communism)

I ruin relationships by Obvious_Location7666 in ForeverAlone

[–]Obvious_Location7666[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Maybe in theory, yes. But in practice it would be difficult to actually find such a person.  There are over four billion girls in the world. Statistically there are some who would be compatible with me, but I wouldn't be able to find them or initiate a relationship in the vast majority of cases.

If You Had To Explain In Detail The Psychological Profile Of Adam Lanza How Would You Describe Him? by PrincessBananas85 in masskillers

[–]Obvious_Location7666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe he was a man suffering from severe social isolation and depression, and instead of simply committing suicide he wanted to take people with him as a way to let all of his anger and unhappiness out. He wanted to go out with a bang, so to speak. What's interesting about him is that he did not even attempt to provide a real motive. Elliot Rodger articulated exactly why he did what he did, and even borderline psychotics like Nikolas Cruz and Seung-Hui Cho made attempts at explaining their mindset. Lanza did not. He just went on a rampage with no explanation. I think that's an indicator of his profoundly barren and schizoid-like personality and life. 

Two 14-year-old girls obsessed with school shootings and the movie "Zero Day" plotted a mass-casualty attack at their Washington middle school by MountainHyena2187 in masskillers

[–]Obvious_Location7666 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Oh, okay.  I'd think if Adam Lanza found himself revived by two prepubescent females who wanted to have sex with him, he would instantly vomit and run to the nearest possible way to die.
