So I was driving home tonight feeling pretty sad. I'm sure most of you have felt that your life is meaningless; you're going nowhere and you'll be completely forgotten. This is a normal occurrence, but I don't think I ever really found out why.

It started when I imagined my boss in a car crash. Now, I like my boss, he's a cool guy. I just kept thinking why I felt so bad about imagining it, and somehow I think I found out when I realized how I really see the world: as a truly gruesome place. Normally I go about, 20 hours a day to myself, doing whatever the hell I like and feel great about it. I have all the touhou, anime, VNs, games, etc. to keep me company until I die. But when I realize how shitty the world really is, it just makes me want to kill myself.

tl;dr Post some good cheer, cause I'm sure not of it right now.

>life is meaningless
Any and all things done in life lose all value in death. Stop being emo about it and just do what makes you happy at the moment.

You have us. I know it's not much, but it's better than nothing.

Besides, if you kill yourself, what'll you do then? Nothing, that's what you'll do. Because you'll be dead. No matter how bad life gets, it's still better than the alternative, because once you're dead, there's no going back. And think of all the family and friends you'd be leaving behind. Even if you think you don't have any friends, you still have us, and you still have your games, anime, and VNs.

Bullshit. Life has no inherent value, so if it ends up being negative for whatever reason, death is obviously the superior choice.

Life has the inherent value of just being there in the first place. It literally cannot be negative, because there is no negative value of 'life'. Just everything above zero, and zero itself, 'death'.

You take that back. Guts does not suck at life. In fact, he's a true winner. Life just fucks him over so hard that any hikki would be appreciative of their own meaningless, yet safe and oblivious lives. At least any hikki who isn't a total retard would understand the pain Guts has gone through, and still going...

Im sure you hear this a lot, or whatever, but man up. Stop bitching and do something about the shit you dwell in. What exactly is it that you want from your life? Pick up a new hobby or something. Start shadowboxing. Go fuck some bitches. Get drunk. The possibilities are endless. I never can for the life of me understand the amount of useless whining and general apathy "you people" spew.

I want you to take a trip to whatever 3rd world country and come tell me you have your shit backwards. Dont have the means to do so? Do something about it.

Gosh I am sorry to hear that. I enjoy all the same stuff you do, but I also have a pretty positive outlook on life as well as a deep love for the universe itself and the scientific method that allows us to learn more about it.
When I was in my late teens/early twenties have had my moments where I felt life was meaningless, going nowhere and I'd die alone and forgotten, but then I grew up. You would probably feel better if you broadened your horizons a bit either by learning new things or by traveling for a while.

You lost me.

You felt bad about imagining someone's death and you suddenly imagine the world as a gruesome place? One would guess that you felt bad because you don't like people to get hurt, even in your imagination.
I may be stupid, but could you please try to clarify this point for me? Thanks.
As a payment, good cheer.

It's all about focus. You start paying attention to all the bad stuff, of course the world will seem like something not really worth it.
But if you give more importance for the few good moments, it can be interesting. It also helps to have a long term goal, something to build up towards to instead of being a zombie toiling day in and out, pursuing some ideal of happiness that's not your own.

Find what makes you happy, and go for it. Don't overthink it.

Ill try to keep this neat and simple. Are you ready? Here we go:

Its your life. You can do whatever you want or dont want to do. Start taking responsibility and stop dwelling in all the shit. Life isnt black & white. The world we live in is pretty gruesome. But you know what? Its your life. Did i mention that its you who decides what to do with your meaningless existance?

Simple as that.

Teenage angst might be the realest of emotions, but if thats your basis of living then you might as well go be a dumb ass cracka to some poor black neighbourhood and get it over with.

You know what makes me depressed? Happy endings in VNs. They bring me happiness, for a very short period of time. Soon afterward, the happiness fades, but with the realization that only fictional love makes me feel happy like this, which just makes it that much worse. It's pretty ironic, ahaha.
