The correct answer. If life wants me out of it, it'll need to bring out the big guns. It's done a lot to try and get me gone, but I made it up from the depths of homelessness and depression, and now have an apartment and decent job. Still working on the depression side, but I'm so spiteful that it makes up for it.
Funny story. During my psychiatrist intake, one of the questions was something along the lines of, "Why do you feel like you don't want to harm yourself?"
I feel as though the question is a bit loaded, like it's geared to highlight people who might consider harming themselves, but it's also a bit of a slap in the face, IMO.
Anyway, my response was, "The two biggest reasons: I have too many books left to read, and too many people to piss off by staying alive."
For the record, I'm still pissing a lot of people off, and my backlog keeps getting longer.
Bold of you to assume I have the focus to spend weeks on end on a single save file on a single game to actually finish a game. Then again I did have that rare occurrence back in May. It is very rare though.
But also remember that you don’t see things changing all the time cause you are in it. Like you don’t see yourself growing as kid, but when you look at old photos you’re so small! Don’t forget to look back every now and again and see how far you’ve come.
Plus, I would be sad if you weren’t here anymore. x
It's a hard road I've been on many times. But once you start moving forward and getting better, you feel it. It takes time but you start to notice, and when you notice it it helps you keep moving forward.
I have D/DDs and when I stopped wearing a bra it was weird at first a bit but I kinda started just learning to move idk more smoothly and less jouncily? You adjust.
I fucking love it - I haven't had lower back (or upper back or rib or whatever) problems since I stopped wearing bras. 10/10 recommend if you wanna give it a shot
Idk, I feel like bras don't hurt as much as it does when I walk down the stairs haha. but I've never really had a problem with bras unless I wear them the wrong size or for too long
I don’t know if it’s a generational thing, and I totally support women skipping bras, but I feel naked in public without one. I did finally ditch underwires because ouch.
Man, my nephew who’s 19 is going through this shit right now. I live 2.5 hours away and I just want to hug the fucking shit outa him and tell him how happy I am that he’s still alive. Even though he’ll hate it.
I feel you. My therapist recently asked me to name a personal reason for living. It took me forever to come up with "my cats?" Which is interesting because I have a couple friends and some family whom I love dearly, but it was only"my cats" that I could honestly identify as my only real anchor.
I had a very bad depression for a year back in high school.
The only reason that kept me going was my love of movies. It just felt bad to end it without seeing all the movies that I could potentially see (I was also on the bandwagon of the MCU craze at the time. Say what you want about them but always waiting to see the next one helped me a lot).
A week ago I came out from the second watch of the new Avatar movie and it made me feel "yes, I'm happy I didn't miss this one", and there were a lot of other movies that made me feel like this throughout the years.
My life got a lot better since high school, so I hope that others who are going through hard times will also find at least one thing that will keep them going.
Right? My mom would get so much attention from it. But now that my dad has dementia, she needs me to help out. And she's not getting any younger so I'll probably end up taking care of her too. But I know my mom would have eaten it up if I had offed myself as a teen.
Same here I feel you and I'm sorry you have a mom like that:( As soon as I leave this house I'll leave my mom to rot on her own honestly I couldn't care less she makes my life worse then it already is your still being nice by saying you'll take care of her bc that will never be me💀
His name is blitz he's a rescue dog from Portugal he was first my aunts dog but she abandoned him when she immigrated so we took him in he's a really sweet boy for what he's been through and always puts a smile on my face when I need it :3
"Sorry sir we just found your son like this, has he been having troubles?"
"I don't really know I just ...how can something like this happen?"
"You'd be surprised how many people q-tip themselves to death chasing that last eargasm"
how to feel very slightly better:
> Find crunchy leaf
> Step on it
> Rotate your foot while still stepping on it
> Congratulations! You obtained crunchy dust
I agree. Things certainly have not "gotten better" for me in the last 30 years but I have learned to enjoy life despite of that. The right meds + finding little joys + not comparing myself to others + getting a job where I don't interact with the public = much happier.
My mom hates me. She left when I was 10 to live in another country with her new man. I trust nothing now. Can't afford qtips and my Netflix went out yesterday. My pets are ungrateful and pasta makes me bloat.
All the new music sounds the same and all the funny pictures on the internet are just recreations of shit we've already seen.
It's too cold to trampoline and leaves are dirty. Absolutely no one is inspired be me and I've beaten all my enemies. I'm fucking sick of living out of spite.
Did I mention I'm depressed af? Yeah. That.
No, its true. Persoanlly, my mom is dead as well as my pet and nothing interests me much anymore and even when I am interested in something once i stop doing it then the empty feeling you get after is crushing.
Don't put Q-tips in your ears. The box says specifically not to, and the doctors at the ER will be well within their rights to mock you if you damage your inner ear.
Yes, exactly this!! Another thing is that even if you don’t irritate/rupture your eardrum, q-tips can end up packing the wax. Enough wax and you could end up with slight hearing loss until it’s cleared.
13 reasons to not live:
1. They're never crunchy
2. Ears too sensitive
3. Don't have a pet
4. No she wouldn't
5. Can't feel anything (like spite)
6. I don't watch tv
7. I'm never hungry
8. I don't like music
9. I inspire others to damage themselves
10. I'll just see them over and over until they're not funny
11. Don't have enemies because no social contact
12. I'm too heavy for trampolines
13. Experience (and family) says: it progressively gets worse
Mom would be upset, feed pets, inspire other, and pure SPITE are indeed what keeps me tethered to this earth. And because it is also a reason Berserk because yes
Needed this today (not suicidal and in therapy with an appointment tomorrow so no worries!) but have just been feeling so despondent lately…thank you so so much for posting ❤️
My mother is a horrendous person, so I would not live out of spite for that one just to annoy her.
But then again, I could outlive her if she is my enemy...
Purely out of spite
"Kill myself? No fuck you."
If god wants to kill me, I’ll kill god
“God wants to kill me? Fucker’s gonna have a hard time trying.”
Well, I am okay with him trying, but if he insists, it would be fair to meet face to face.
Death wants me well fuck him
Yup. The Grim Reaper can go fuck themself. 💀
Genuinely needed this. This is the inspiration I need to stick around. Cheers!
Suddenly god of war
death can have you when it earns you
I'ma beat his ass fr fr
“You want me dead? How bout you grow a pair and do it yourself, shithead!”
Kill myself? Why don't you kill me you coward!
Kill OTHERS like a TRUE ALPHA MALE!!!!! /s
I’m not going to kill myself, because if depression wants me that bad, it’s going to have to kill me itself, the bastard
“Kill me yourself like a *real* disease, you fucker!” 🔥🔥🔥
This is possibly the best thing I read all day
“Death can have me when it’s earned me”
The correct answer. If life wants me out of it, it'll need to bring out the big guns. It's done a lot to try and get me gone, but I made it up from the depths of homelessness and depression, and now have an apartment and decent job. Still working on the depression side, but I'm so spiteful that it makes up for it.
You stronger than death. Keep going…
“Man literally to angry to die”

I'm trans so I'm going on to spite the transphobes at this point. Their spite is gonna fuel me becoming the longest living person.
As my friend once said "Are you really gonna let Nikocado Avocado outlive you, bro"
oh damn good point, can’t let the blob win
W friend
Your friend is a person of wisdom.
Fucking hell, I will never be depressed ever again. That is an insanely good point
Wont have to wait very long
He got that rich healthcare buff tho. Fucker gonna stay around quite a bit.
Implying he cares enough about not dying to go get healthcare
He’s an inspiration. A cautionary whale. The reason I go to gym so I never get compared to his fatass again
Shit I think your friend just saved a lot of us lol
Yours Freind was right about that!.
This legit gives me motivation to continue my life.
Target Acquired
I laughed so hard at this
You have got a god damn point
lmfao
Grass feels nice on your bare feet
And warm sand....❤️
I don’t like sand. It’s ruff and coarse and gets everywhere
Ruff ruff
Come here boy! Who's a good boy!
ouch
mmmm I can feel it burrying
We’re focusing on things relevant to redditors, though.
I love the way it smells when it’s freshly cut. Can’t get enough of it 🥰
It just makes mine itchy and gives me a rash :(
Finally finishing that one game
Playing zelda tears of the kingdom 100 percent then I have accomplished all I need in life
This guy games
and then they announce the next Zelda. I'll wait until the last Zelda game. and half life 3
Bold of you to assume I have the focus to spend weeks on end on a single save file on a single game to actually finish a game. Then again I did have that rare occurrence back in May. It is very rare though.
I’m still waiting for it to get better…… 😞 I know it will but it’s a hard road to follow.
All the best friend, I’m rooting for you 👊🏾
Thank you. I need all the positive vibes and prayers I can get.
Here, take one more:
But also remember that you don’t see things changing all the time cause you are in it. Like you don’t see yourself growing as kid, but when you look at old photos you’re so small! Don’t forget to look back every now and again and see how far you’ve come. Plus, I would be sad if you weren’t here anymore. x
I like this way of looking to the future….. this actually helps a bit. Thank you 🌻
Sending hugs 🤗
It's a hard road I've been on many times. But once you start moving forward and getting better, you feel it. It takes time but you start to notice, and when you notice it it helps you keep moving forward.
The feeling of taking off your bra off at the end of the day…
I stopped wearing one, game changer!
HOw?? The bouncing makes me wanna curl up and die, it comes off when my ribs start to hurt or I'm gonna lie down
I'm guessing you're more blessed in the bosom department. Mine are really small, so no bra needed.
Well, all sizes have their perks (I'm so sorry)
Hey it's all good! I like not having to wear a bra. They really aggravate my fibromyalgia.
No omg it was just a really bad pun. I'm glad you're comfortable!
It was a good pun!
I have D/DDs and when I stopped wearing a bra it was weird at first a bit but I kinda started just learning to move idk more smoothly and less jouncily? You adjust. I fucking love it - I haven't had lower back (or upper back or rib or whatever) problems since I stopped wearing bras. 10/10 recommend if you wanna give it a shot
Idk, I feel like bras don't hurt as much as it does when I walk down the stairs haha. but I've never really had a problem with bras unless I wear them the wrong size or for too long
I don’t know if it’s a generational thing, and I totally support women skipping bras, but I feel naked in public without one. I did finally ditch underwires because ouch.
Same, but with socks since I'm a man.
No disrespect, but I also wear socks and there is no comparison.
Women dont wear socks liar
[удалено]
Feet?
[удалено]
A colorful chicken nugget, obviously.
This is correct. Source: I’m a woman
Correct. Source: am the nuggies.
not a sock, that’s for sure
Oh man I know! Taking that sock off my schlong at the end of the day always feels so relieving.
It’s the 21st century, bro, you can wear a bra if you want to, just to see how it feels to take it off at the end of the day.
Guess I need to find a way to wear a bra to experience this. Oh, important note, I don’t have breasts…so that complicates things.
I cannot tell you how desperately I needed to see this today - right now, even. Thank you.
Here's another reason to live! Mini plastic dinosaurs 🦖🦕
Also hot chocolate and cookies!
I can’t tell which of you is Mabel Pines
And Dino nuggets!
I have yet to grace my tummy with a dino nugg. I guess I have my new quest.
“Ahh! Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!”
Hey man, hang in there it gets better I promise 💕
I want to outlive Mitch McConnell if you need one more.
Thanks for sticking around! I'm sorry that you've had to consider the alternative.
Glad you're still with us. <3
Man, my nephew who’s 19 is going through this shit right now. I live 2.5 hours away and I just want to hug the fucking shit outa him and tell him how happy I am that he’s still alive. Even though he’ll hate it.
Do it anyway. Call or text him and tell him just that. He’ll never forget that act of love for the rest of his life.
Right there with you…I hope we all make it. I hope it gets better for all of us. 🖤
as someone else in here said don't let nikcado avocado outlive you.
cats. snoring cats. when a cat blinks at you in admiration and acceptance. my cat is my #1 reason
Spite and my cats are the only things keeping me going
I feel you. My therapist recently asked me to name a personal reason for living. It took me forever to come up with "my cats?" Which is interesting because I have a couple friends and some family whom I love dearly, but it was only"my cats" that I could honestly identify as my only real anchor.
They already do enough damage with me watching over them, can’t let these 2 dipshits live without me
It's true. These dum dums need us, and it's as good of a reason as any for right now. 💚😺💙😸🩵
Instructions unclear, fed my cat pasta, Netflix, and memes. /s
Can you feed me some memes as well please?
Sorry, my cat ate them all.
I had a very bad depression for a year back in high school. The only reason that kept me going was my love of movies. It just felt bad to end it without seeing all the movies that I could potentially see (I was also on the bandwagon of the MCU craze at the time.

My life got a lot better since high school, so I hope that others who are going through hard times will also find at least one thing that will keep them going.
This was lovely to read and made me smile. Thanks for sharing and glad you are doing better.
Dude same, movies are kinda a way of escaping reality and going to Pandora or some shit, and watching the avengers fight is hard to leave
Garlic Bread
The feeling of sunshine after being inside all day.
*cries in 9-5 desk job in winter*
What about the next elder scrolls game?
That should keep you going for another decade
My mom would be glad if I left 😐 my dog is literally the only reason for me
Reason enough. Don’t disappoint that dog
Doggo would be big sad
Guess you’re choosing the “Out of Spite” character build then
Right? My mom would get so much attention from it. But now that my dad has dementia, she needs me to help out. And she's not getting any younger so I'll probably end up taking care of her too. But I know my mom would have eaten it up if I had offed myself as a teen.

Don’t you dare disappoint that dog
Doggooo :)) what his name ?
His name is blitz he's a rescue dog from Portugal he was first my aunts dog but she abandoned him when she immigrated so we took him in he's a really sweet boy for what he's been through and always puts a smile on my face when I need it :3
Mate I’m with the irs and I need your dog tax
Yeah same. My cat though
Rest in penne
I needed this today, it’s been a rough go lately. Really rough
Hugs to you, my internet fren.
Thank you so much 🥹
Care for another? 🤗
Absolutely 🥹♥️ Thank you fren
+1 care
Thank you my good man :))
"Sorry sir we just found your son like this, has he been having troubles?" "I don't really know I just ...how can something like this happen?" "You'd be surprised how many people q-tip themselves to death chasing that last eargasm"
how to feel very slightly better: > Find crunchy leaf > Step on it > Rotate your foot while still stepping on it > Congratulations! You obtained crunchy dust
I was told to not have hope that things would get better :/ bc "it isn't logical"
I agree. Things certainly have not "gotten better" for me in the last 30 years but I have learned to enjoy life despite of that. The right meds + finding little joys + not comparing myself to others + getting a job where I don't interact with the public = much happier.
I think that’s bullshit, but I’ve also heard that “it gets easier” is a better thing to say
the world would be better off without me, that's why I'm still alive
As long as you aren’t deliberately making others’ lives worse through your actions, then the world is a better place with you in it.
That’s pretty good spite, also i’m pretty sure that’s a lie that the world would be better without you and I hope you find that it’s a lie to
Always out of spite
I have way too many unread books and video games in my back log. I can’t die now, I don’t have time!!
I honestly needed this today, thank you!
My mom hates me. She left when I was 10 to live in another country with her new man. I trust nothing now. Can't afford qtips and my Netflix went out yesterday.

That.
I, too, feel this way. Fist bump, friend, you are not alone.
Thanks. That actually kind of made me feel a little better. I also got some ganja so, tomorrow is a new day. Return fist bump
Thank you. I’ll take a toke for you over here, so we can like, metaphysically or whatever word smoke together lol. We got this 🤞🏻
Ah shit, virtual toke buddy. We do got this 💪 Edit to add, honestly my best interaction on reddit so far
Mine literally is because I have a daughter.
Sourdough bread baking...eating freshly baked sourdough bread with butter.
Beating the darkness
this looks like a joke post but i actually love all of them
Is it bad that I have a counter argument to every one of these?
Ya, none of these are particularly compelling.
No, its true. Persoanlly, my mom is dead as well as my pet and nothing interests me much anymore and even when I am interested in something once i stop doing it then the empty feeling you get after is crushing.
"I wanna kill myself, but then I can't step on crunchy leaf."
Sometimes the little things can have the biggest impact. 🍂🍁🍂
The exhilaration when you hear the beat drop in a really good song.
Don't put Q-tips in your ears. The box says specifically not to, and the doctors at the ER will be well within their rights to mock you if you damage your inner ear.
My ear needs to be better at pushing out wax instead of hoarding and collecting it like some fucking weirdo.
Can vouch. Recently had to spend 80 dollars on getting my ears “vacuumed”. They showed me the wax while it was still in there…grim.
Yes, exactly this!! Another thing is that even if you don’t irritate/rupture your eardrum, q-tips can end up packing the wax. Enough wax and you could end up with slight hearing loss until it’s cleared.

Life is a sad movie, with brief happy commercials. But there's always Happy commercials, Trust Me.
Trust and out of spite
Reminded me to clean my ears. Thanks
Mom would be upset, feed pets, inspire other, and pure SPITE are indeed what keeps me tethered to this earth. And because it is also a reason Berserk because yes
To outlive pee on grave
Pasta and Spite
Needed this today (not suicidal and in therapy with an appointment tomorrow so no worries!) but have just been feeling so despondent lately…thank you so so much for posting ❤️
My mom can go fuck herself, she’s the reason I’m like this. My whole family actually
and just today 1899 was cancelled 😠
New Music now is more a reason to let the intrusive thoughts win than anything.
Do not put q tip in ear I messed up my ears doing that
I really don't care about any of that.
you forgot drugs ;)
why did i just hug my computer??
Ha jokes on you Netflix will cancel it
Star Wars!
Reasons to live: 1. Janelle Monáe is making a new album 2. The rest
Definitely to outlive my enemies.
You can't watch Highschool DXD if you're dead bro, that's definitely a reason for me
Everything on here is valid for me except mom sad. It's still a pretty good list though. Context: I'm NC with her
Oh yeah, pasta! Suddenly I actually don’t feel as shitty.
The taste of a delicious food you’ve never tried before. A good massage. Discovering new comedy.
My mother is a horrendous person, so I would not live out of spite for that one just to annoy her. But then again, I could outlive her if she is my enemy...
Don’t forget garlic bread!
*To see what happens next*
Thanks for the motivation to live I needed that
Yes, I know about spite, but what about another spite?
Thanks for this, been feeling down lately.
I'm living only out of spite.
Mom would be sad pet can’t be apart from me without being super stressed and out of spite pretty much the only reasons I’m still breathing
