Venting i rlly hate it when people with good lives take them for granted

[mousebot]

I dont want more people in this world to be like me. i wish more people would enjoy the experiences that they get to have that i wish i had. Things that are commonly seen as typical, boring, part of everyday life. Even just going outside. I know theyre "used" to everything and its dumb of me but "normal" lives seem so beautiful

I think people only truly understand how good their lives are, once it is taken away from them. This life holds unlimited potential for suffering after all, somebody who appears to have a 'perfect' life could end up chronically ill etc. I think it is human nature to take things for granted. We are never satisfied with what we have, we always want more.

I sort of.. can't conceive of 'normal' so it's hard for me to care. I just want less pain.

I think it's smoke in mirrors. Some people have a great life and others not so much. People are so judge mental of everything… if you're too quiet, or too loud, or too fast, or too slow. All of those things. It's kind of sad and kind of difficult, nothing in between. You become criticized so harshly and messed with so frequently that you finally give up and say I can't take anymore, I'm just not good enough. Everybody else is though.

Depends. I appreciated my life when it became good since it'd never been good before. Now that the good is gone I don't want it anymore.

I think as others have said, it's a lot to do with contrast. After being physically ill, I'm much more grateful for life in general. Just the relief of not feeling ill.

Overall though, it's hard to enjoy life when deep down, you resent and hate being alive. When that is your foundation then, everything on top is an annoyance to varying degrees and- there's a whole lot of chores and work that have to be done in order to sustain the life you don't want in the first place!

So much of the time is spent thinking: Why am I bothering to do this? The answer- because you're ensuring your life doesn't get any worse. But, why am I bothering to live at all if I don't really want to? You're doing it so as not to upset the very people who brought you into this mess and expected you to thrive in it. (Parents.) It's hard to be grateful for something you don't want and aren't really permitted (freely) to quit.
