I personally cringe when I hear a friend js having a kid. All I can think of is how bad theyre going to have it. Hell id definitely have been better off being born 20 years earlier, but these new kids are REALLY screwed unless they have super rich parents.
“Nothing new under the sun” I suppose!
We’re all talking now. I don’t find that perspective to be one that equates uniquely to a depressed person. That perspective is relatively prevalent within this thread, but also somewhat prevalent within social circles that I find myself in.
“my life is so miserable that I would rather see the continuation of the species voluntarily end that risk someone else suffers like me” is depression. Maybe it’s not suicidal depression, but it probably requires intervention.
Maybe it’s just immature edgelord BS, but if not that’s a serious problem.
I really think you’re missing the target entirely.
There’s not a biological imperative for humans to reproduce. It’s pretty egotistical to assume that your species “deserves” to exist. Can you tell me what about our species is so special?
Calling something “a problem,” and failing to articulate on what specifically makes it a problem is MAGA level thinking.
I didn’t say anything about deserve, I don’t really understand why you have it in quotes.
I thought it was pretty clearly implied the problem was a mental health issue. I’m not a psychiatrist so I’m not qualified to say what the particular mental health issue is any more than I would be able to qualify or runny nose as a cold or allergies or a flu. I just know a symptom when I see it.
A person that wants to determine what species do and do not “deserve” to exist is outside of my pay grade, but clearly unwell.
You sound like MAGA. There is no health issue and you’re not qualified.
Genuinely, there have been many people in my life who have needed help along the way. There’s no shame in this. Depression will tell you not to fix your depression.
You can be living a totally “normal” life while on the cusp of crisis and not realize it. There is no harm in talking to someone about these feelings. I implore you.
With that, you can call me whatever names you want, or talk about how weird or bad or whatever I am… I’m going to bow out here.
You should have bowed out a long time ago; before you were misdiagnosing people.
