How much hope do you have for the future?

How much hope do you have for the future? Personally and/or globally?

 

[KillingPain267]

None/none

 

[pariah80]

None/none

Same.

 

[Sandra]

I think things are so random that I have some hope? Sometimes you can do everything right and still loose. Sometimes you might just get lucky. You never know.

 

[resteasy3232]

I mean, I could see things getting better but I really doubt they will. life throws things at you that some people including myself cant handle. its a spiral

 

[lawlietsph]

None. I am so so so so tired.

 

[Reflection]

Very little and I know for sure it could drop to none in the blink of an eye.

 

[cryptoinvestor]

AGI is gonna end us all before 2030, so even if i get better, there's no point. Will be left to die in a manner i will not be able to control

 

[Alexei_Kirillov]

Personally, 10%. Globally, 35%. For the latter though I see things getting worse before they get better. Regardless I don't want to be around to see it.

 

[CatLvr]

It kinda depends on what we're talking about -- that's probably why my recovery is a tentative thing. I just kinda take it day to day.

 

[pthnrdnojvsc]

I just hope I can kill myself . I didn't ask to be in this hell. I don't want to be here no matter the circumstances, even if a genie would grant me what most consider a "good" life. But there is no magic

An analogy: if someone is kidnapped and kept a slave and a torture puppet, do u hope ur situation in captivity improves or do u look for a way to escape?

To me things getting better is non-existence forever

 

[FuneralCry]

Nothing, in fact I feel dread for what lies ahead, no matter what I'll always find it so dreadful to exist, to me existence really is the most cruel, torturous imposition that I never would have chosen and never would have wished for and what terrifies me is how it can easily get way more unbearable causing so much more torture and agony as a result. There is literally no limit as to how much one can suffer and that's a reason as to why I feel so much dread, existence is just something so harmful to me that causes endless amounts of suffering.

I find it terrifying as well how a human can exist for so long just to be tormented by old age which sounds horrific to me, under no circumstances would I ever wish to prolong this suffering just to face the extreme unbearable agony of old age, for me personally non-existence truly is the only relief. I'll only be at peace once I'm finally free from the cruelty of existing, it's all just so terrible to me and I suffer so much from how I cannot just have the option to simply die in a painless way so I can prevent all future suffering in this existence that always felt like such a horrific mistake to me, there's just so much cruelty to me in how there's no acceptance towards not wanting to suffer in this existence that I always saw as so futile anyway.

 

[cloudyskye]

I don't feel like I have any personally. However I still can't die so maybe I do? I just don't know.

 

[Scythe]

None, wars keep happening, global warming won't slow down soon. Poverty has been increasing and covid made the increase go way up. And so much more problems that's never getting solved. The only hope I have for the future is that eventually the world is so shit we are no longer freaks due to the massive increase in suicide rates and people talking about it.

 

[motherofmahesh]

Very little. I used to have a lot of hope and it was the only thing that really kept me going. Maybe 7 years ago I tried to dip into it and realized the bucket came up empty. So it's been this way ever since. When I was younger, no matter how bad things got I truly believed I could find a way to fix things, but after enough abuse or neglect by the people you love and trust...it just goes away. I was diagnosed with PTSD at the end of my last relationship (I did have trauma and mental health issues prior he just made things worse for me) and if I had known that instead of making my life better, that he was actually going to make my life worse I would have walked away. But I didn't. Because I didn't realize that the way I was being treated wasn't normal.

Anyway, that's enough venting. Thanks.

 

[OldManOfTheLake]

hahahahahahaha

Does that answer your question?

 

[SA1994EC]

Zero, or even negative. I was struggling when I was young, but still kept hopes for the future. Now I don't recognize myself.

 

[selfsabotagequeen]

i don't even know. i feel hopeless some days, yet i carry on with the motions of doing well academically, getting uni offers, having a healthy relationship with a wonderful man who treats me like a princess, having friends, having family. but i don't see this going anywhere. i wish i could look to the future and see happiness, and tbh i feel like ill make it and have a family and a job and a house. but i don't have hope for myself. i will be a shadow of myself when i reach that destination. i have some level of hope i'll survive, but next to none that i'll thrive. therapy doesn't work, i'm a terrible girlfriend, friend and daughter, and i've been trying to get better for years and failing.

 

[Hunter2005]

I have no hope honestly I plan to be out of here before 30.

 

[nihilistic_dragon]

Personally - none. I made some really dumb mistakes when I was younger and unfortunately now is the time to face the consequences. There is very little I can do to undo any of that or to remedy the situation at least somewhat. Add to that a ridiculously stupid but painful health issue that I stupidly gave myself this past year - there is no permanent cure and it's not the quality of life that I wish to have. And even if all of my problems disappeared magically, life is meaningless to me and I do not wish to exist without meaning. I am far too gone anyway, anhedonia took everything that was even remotely alive in me. Something happened a few weeks ago to make me realize how dead I am and it's insane. I really underestimated just how dead I really am.

Globally - very, very little, close to none. You don't want to know what kind of thoughts my brain houses on the subject really XD. This planet is fucked, no matter how you look at it.

 

[Dr Iron Arc]

Very little but I can't say it's none entirely. I'm just stubborn like that.

 

[ZeroM24]

None. Hope is for lucky or rich people.

 

[outrider567]

None
