You always here a lot of people who are considering suicide saying "I hate my life" or something to that effect, to which people always give some @#%$ fortune cookie response of "You've just hit a rough patch in your life and things will start to look up" or "There's always a light at the end of the tunnel" which is all fine and dandy. But my life is not my problem. I've been blessed with a loving family who is well off and have always been healthy and I am thankful for that. I want to know what do you do when the thing you hate about your life is you. There is no escape from that, no bright side because you can never really change yourself. Everyday i wake up wishing I was someone, anyone else. I would take any other circumstances, be it being dirt poor, sickly, or anything else over the curse of being me, a painfully akward, goofy, SA having son of a gun who will most likely be alone for the rest of my life. Because no matter what the situation is, you are always better off having someone to share it with. Ive probably rambled or gotten off point through this speel, but the underlying point is, Whats the point of living your life if you hate who you are?

I would love to hear your thoughts or experiences if anyonce cares to comment.

thanks

Was there ever a time when you didn't hate yourself? Did things change? If things have changed once they can change again.

You know, the real reason people shouldn't attempt suicide is the outside chance you screw up and cripple yourself somehow. You think you hate yourself now? How much will you hate yourself if you've got a hole in your face the size of a shotgun blast, or you're paralyzed from the neck down?

I always say, if you're going to kill yourself, you'd better be damn sure you're successful because if you're not, you could regret trying it.

lol that's a good reason not to try killing yourself. I think that that's one of the reasons why I've never really wanted to kill myself. If it fails - you're more **** then you were before.
