Do you wish you had never been born?

[Boller Bryant]

In short answer, yes absolutely. I wish to never been born. But, just like a verse in Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen "I don't wanna die I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all" describes my feeling best.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

In long answer, yes. I do wish to never been born. But I do want that my parents never gave birth to me instead I want them to give birth to another better kid than me. I believe it's their right as a married couples to reproduce, that's why I never condemn them giving birth to me. I'm just extremely disappointed and ashamed of myself, because my parents treat me great and with care and I couldn't repay their kindness in anyway instead I only give them regret and burden with my existence. Honestly, I want myself to be better. I don't care how much, I just want someone to see myself for what I am. I don't want to get stressed out because someone expect me to do something that myself even not expecting.

Yup.

you can't wish having never been born if you aren't alive. the question doesn't make sense

 

[DEATH IS FREEDOM]

From the Stone Age to the year 0, the world´s population increased rather slowly due to high infant mortality. From the year 1900, the population explosion began which has never occured before. Too many children are born in poor countries. In the Western world, the population explosion is mostly due to increased life expectancy. But too many children are born anyway because the population is increasing all the time. Man reproduces like bacteria on an overpopulated planet. Yet some communities continue to pay child support and parental allowance. In the big cities, people are crammed into overcrowded houses and shops and there are queues for everything. Environmental degration increases as the population increases which leads to climate change. Overpopulation causes problems almost everywhere. 8 billion humans are too many humans on the Earth - and the population continues to increase without control. It is no wonder that people wish that they were never born or want to die in the hell of overpopulation.

Stop having kids want to normalize antinatalism, childfreedom and caring for already existing life. Stop having kids want a future where creating biological children is no longer an expectation, a norm, or something most people casually do without putting substantial thought and investigation into. Creating new humans should not be taken lightly. It could easily be the most impactful and regretful decision someone ever makes. Those who never exist cannot be deprived by their absence if one had not existed. Those who never exist cannot be deprived.

I'm a fan of Stop Having Kids and their movement that seeks to propagate antinatalist ideals; however, I feel that they could be going about it in a more efficacious manner. Some of their catchy slogans are rather antagonistic. I'd like to see a more empathic approach that meets natalists at the middle. A friendlier form of antinatalist advocacy.

 

[Lost in a Dream]

I definitely wish I had never been born. I've had good experiences at times when I felt glad to be here, but something always goes wrong and I end up wanting to die again anyway.

Not existing in the first place would've prevented this stupid cycle from happening. The good news is, I never had kids and never will. This is mostly because we still don't have a universal human right to die peacefully when we want and we probably won't until long after I'm dead.
