Hey /jp/, I think I'm feeling exactly like Mizuki right now. Existentially troubled, feel like there's no point in life, don't see a future for myself, and I have that feeling in the pit of my stomach that feels like my soul is being sucked out. What do I do? I don't have the money to fly to China or the balls to do some crazy shit like her to forget about it. ;_;

Yep it's called nihilism. This world has no rhyme or reason, no all powerful gods to watch over us. It is completely and utterly devoid of any meaning. There's no point to life but living it. Enjoy your existential crisis and depression, it's complimentary on this board.

I thought Mizuki's thing was more of an epistemological issue, her dialogue indicates a doubting of the continuance of personal identity going forward in time. The nihilism was a logical consequence of that scepticism. But there was no logical reason for motherhood to fix that problem, to assuage that doubt. I can only conclude that she stopped being so logical.

Well it was a pretty cute kid. Anyway I doubt the creators of this game thought about it on such a level. It's pretty rare for a teenager to struggle with nihilistic thoughts, well unless they're considerably smarter than most of their peers, which might have been the case for her. But even then, to take it to such extremes. The fact that you realize that life is meaningless doesn't necessarily mean you wish to do harm to yourself. If anything it should make you realize that you make your own goals in life.

When you feel like you don't have a reason to live it can make all the difference in the world. Think about it, a defenseless, helpless creature completely dependent on your care for its welfare. It's something you can devote yourself to, something that gives meaning.

...It's true isn't it. Most teenagers only worry about fitting in or about the vague uncertainty that is their future. Or about getting a boyfriend/girlfriend. Mundane, every day problems. Rarely do teenagers, let alone adults contemplate the futility of existence.

Actually, most teenagers are going through the "I'm invincible and nothing can harm me!" phase. Only the emo kids are going through nihilist thoughts and they're just fucking crazy, as an example of what happens when teenagers think too hard.

Most teenagers don't even know that nihilism encompasses. Being depressed because you have pimples or because your peers make fun of you isn't philosophical, it's just stupid insecurity that can in no way be equated to nihilism.

Now I'm not a doctor, but I've seen one on TV. It is my professional opinion that you need several hundred CC's of alcohol, stat. Get yourself down to a liquor store, grab a nice bottle of rum or whiskey or vodka, or maybe a six pack of dark beer, go home, and get lit. Then turn on your favorite porno and jerk off until you fall asleep.

The reason Mizuki is so unreasonable and goes gambling and takes drugs and wants to try new things is because she can't grasp the concept of a tomorrow. She can't imagine what it would be like to do something tomorrow. She doesn't know how to contemplate what to have for lunch tomorrow. She simply is incapable of seeing herself in the future and is terrified because of it. It's not just that she can't imagine being alive tomorrow, she simply can't imagine existing later. It's worse than wondering if she would be dead later.

Most teenagers wonder about the futility of their own existence. That's what the classic goth teenager into Nietzsche is about.

This is probably going to get deleted anyway, but I'll still tell you:

Most people here feels the same, I know it's not comfortable at all, but we've learned to forget about it the most we can. And that's why I don't think we are able to help you, but if I was there I would comfort you in any way I could.

Reality is harsh. Sorry. And that's why most of us have decided not to face it. Maybe you can do the same. But now you know you're not the only one.

P.D. Try to avoid making this kind of threads next time. Just have fun in the board without looking at the bad things.
