What is the point of life?

I hate my life. I always have. I have attempted suicide multiple times but it never works for some reason. I just end up with scars and brain damage.

I am 24. I was dating this girl a few years ago, but then a guy who I thought was my only friend took her from me.

I feel like I have no reason to live. I have no family or friends. All I want is for someone to love me. But I read these quotes that say things like: "no one will ever want to be with you unless you are happy being alone." If that is true, then I just want to die.

I have tried so hard to be happy alone. I have tried so many things: eating healthy, exercise, volunteering, reading, art, music, meditation, etc. I enjoy these things but I am still unhappy. All I want is companionship. I don't care about sex, but I really want for someone to kiss and hug me.

I spent an entire year of my life trying to find someone with no success.

I am going to try to kill myself again tonight. I hope it works this time.

 

thats messed up man, I was suicidal at one point too, and longed for companionship.
I went 4 years with no action whatsoever! Dont let it get you down, dont be afraid to talk to strangers and meet new people, stay confident and happy and you wont have them running in the opposite direction. The point of life is to live it up and receive all it has to offer. Try tripping on Lucy before you off yourself, thats what I did.

 

Dude; you're only 24.

 

Death could very well be a black, absolute nothingness that you're going to get to eventually, so why rush it? Why not take advantage of your relatively short existence while you have the opportunity. If you hate your life so much then go nuts. What do you have to lose? Go do something you never in a million years would have done. Max out a credit card and go see the Egyptian pyramids or something. Fuck it.... you're going to die anyway....at least have a crazy adventure first.

 

actually dying feels fucking fantastic

 

Everything in life is composed of good and bad

 

Q: "What is the purpose of this human life? Why am I trapped on this plane, in this body?"
A: "You're in school. Why don't you try taking the curriculum?"

 

I believe you are depressed but i don't believe you want to die, you are crying out for attention because you want a friend. I can understand, but you clearly are not ready for death. You just need some loving.

You say you've tried many times and that you hope it works this time..dude if you wanted to die you would be dead. To me you just want attention. Their are many many ways to end your life in a single blow. People who say they have tried many times or are thinking about trying in my mind are not suicidal. They are wanting attention. Yes you have some issues and its hard to deal with, but clearly suicide is not in your book. I don't believe most of your post except for the fact you are not happy.

If you really want to die you would go buy a shotgun and blow your brains out. Or tie a rope around your neck and jump 30 feet so your neck will snap. Jump off a bridge into a bunch of rocks. Stand in front of a moving train. Their are many many ways where success will be the only outcome. If you wanted to be dead you would be, trying over and over and over? Give me a break, something in your mind is not ready.

 

Just my two cents here. Giving people ideas onto which to commit suicide on a mental heath forum my not be such a wise idea.

Just a thought.

 

Well go on and get it over with then, dont be a suicide chump. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-jNeppieiI"]Suicide Chump - Frank Zappa - YouTube

 

Who died and made you the authority on psychology?...lol.

To the OP, I advise against killing yourself I sometimes want to as well...but I smoke weed instead. So maybe you could find something that helps for you, as marijuana does not help everyone. Also if you haven't succeeded yet why bother trying again? maybe you should think about if there are any minor things that could be improved though I know that can be easier said than done.

 

the point of life?

*tokes*

lessee... the point of life is to live it for what it is... not to despise it because it isn't what you think it should be

or summit like that

 

Maybe you should seriously think about talking to someone

 

I doubt he revealed anything that someone with suicidal ideation hasn't already thought about ad nauseum. It's no big secret that shooting yourself will kill you.

 

The methods of hanging and jumping are centuries old. In my first post i was pointing out that i don't believe the OP wants to kill himself. Yes he has deep thoughts but to me he just wants some company. He knows he is not ready to take the final step. he is crying out for attention.

Plus i bet as he scanned through the website from top to bottom he saw the Mind Fuck section with the current topic for the last few weeks "best ways to commit suicide"....im hardly giving him any ideas.

I wish him the best though and i hope he finds the love that he needs. I don't wish anyone to take their own life, but from his post i don't think he will "commit"

 

I liked that but it cut off at the end... "all you can say as you run down the street is...." what?

 

if you live for something greater than yourself man, life would open up to you

 

This is really the best response you can take from this.

The only other thing I have to add is that at some point you just have to decide to enjoy life. No one ever said it was easy. Life by design is fucking hard. Go watch a nature show where an antelope's throat is being ripped apart by a lion. Thats life. You think you get a freepass because you're at the top of the food chain?

My own personal answer to your question is this: life has no point except to glean whatever enjoyment you can from it.

Its a fucking struggle but you can do it. We all have to do it.

 

You can only die once. You sure you wanna waste that now? Life's a struggle for everyone, but it's a free one. Life has no single point... It's yours to take some responsibility and create for yourself. You can sleep for eternity afterwards bro. You're only 24. I hope you find a way to enjoy the one-time and temporary time you're given on this earth. It would be a waste not to keep trying... for you. Really no loss to us.

 

hip forums is mostly a site for wise asses/ jackasses to shoot the shit. you might also get some good responses, but lots of folks are dicks and don't know when or how to act mature

I would recommend that anyone who is seriously contemplating suicide talk about that in a forum that is equipped to deal with that.

you may want to go to www.befrienders.org to find a helpline, or communicate on-line at www.suicideforum.com

no one really wants to die, they just want their pain to end. there is probably a way for you to get better. you probably can find love. it sounds like you've done a bunch of things to try to get better, but you have some more treatment options that are worth trying

therapy and medication might be a good idea if you haven't tried that route yet
