EDIT: Dammit you ignorant, heartless fools! Do I no longer carry any respect within this forum?

I'm gonna be completely out with it.

I hate this world, the evil, corrupt people that live on it, a world full of hatred that leaves me hating it in return. I despise this pointless existance of life and death, and I will be glad when it all ends.

There must be a purpose for this existance however, and I shall not rest until I find it or die in the process. I have also decided that If I cannot be happy, I shall seek to please others who have problems. It is time I stopped putting myself first. I shall sacrifice my happiness to bring happiness to others, starting with my family.

This is my life. My purpose.

I guess my question is... what do you hate about life? (Not in the political sense please...)

Wow... I'm so popular.

Happy and stable people can help more efficiently.

But helping others sounds very good. Maybe it'll make you happy.

Hey...don't get SO radical. I helped a man in a wheel chair get down the street. That was "good enough" for today. Take a deep breath, enjoy the world -AND DON'T FREAK OUT, you are falling away from the CENTER!? :)

Me? Happy? Yeah right. It's been about 3 months since I truly smiled. I try to fake it to appease others.

Yeah, helping ppl in need is a good thing, it always has. Notice that money-grubbing millionares aren't happy? Its cause they don't help others ;)

Let's just say I feel i'm spiraling in confusion towards self destruction.

Your hatred of the world sprouts from the natural human focus on the more depressing and negative aspects of life. If you looked hard enough, you would see the good things too. How do you explain away the vast amount of money donated to help the Tsunami victims? Just as the very kindest person has a capacity for selfishness, even the most evil and corrupt of individuals has some compassion.

Getting depressed about life is not the answer, it makes you feel bad, it doesn't help anything, and it's an innacurate judgement to say the world is utterly detestable. Keep on with the helping and charitability though, because that does help something, and it generally makes you feel better.

I donated all I could to that fund. I felt in that situation that I was selfish to be so upset with life when there were those worse off than me.

I know it doesn't help... but I can't stop feeling this way. My depression now seems to be controling me, instead of I controling it.

Happiness and smiling are propaganda propogated purposely by hippies.
Not smiling or being happy is perfectly normal.
If you feel these things coming on, beat a sack full of seals with an environmentalist, then read crappy teenagers blogs/livejournals.
You will soon return to the natural state

And risk an STD? I think not. I'll just hold out for a girlfriend.

Oh, don't worry, I wouldn't sink that low myself either :eek:

Or some lotion and tissues!

Besides, I can't afford one... Not that I would.

Anyone that will sleep with me will actually want to.

Before I came onto Nationstates, I don't think i'd ever have been so open about my psychological problems... Now i feel slightly better telling others... it also feels good to know others are willing to give help and advice.

What about me and my smart-arsed comments? Do they help? :p

You just amuse me with your complete lack on common sense.

I'm trying to find the balance between helping myself and helping others.

Kinda hard helping others from drowning, when I'm in the water myself.

Plus, there's too many people to help. Eventually you'll be burnt out if you have no resources backing you.

You just amuse me with your complete lack on common sense.

lol

I have common sense, but I like to save it for when I'll actually need it sometime :p

i am always edging on a depression state, but a got an email that made me feel a bit better about my life... I'll leave it in it's entirity but won't say whole i got it from.

Damn Imp, that's bleak.

Happiness is not a state that is inaccessible to anyone, no matter what their state or condition though. Happiness comes to everyone, usually in very fleeting moments at what seems completely at random. Though I've discovered it is very coy with those who intentionally pursue it.

Purpose... hooboy... purpose isn't some absolute unchanging thing for a person. We define our own reasons for being and forge our own purposes for being here and now. It's kind of ironic that one of the most important parts of our existance as cognizant beings is so hard for so many to grasp when it is literally our own choices and our own desires that create it.

Sacrificing your own happiness for the happiness of others is noble, but most unhealthy for both sides of the equation if it's not on a very temporary basis and and not done in a positive spirit. That kind of thing in the end only promotes resentment and guilt, dooming whatever benefit the sacrifice might have brought about to become a worse condition than that which preceeded it. Martyrdom is a very gloomy, fairly pointless condition... unless you're a hardcore Catholic and honestly believe that it's going to buy you an eternity of bliss in the afterlife.

Hopefully, sooner rather than later, you'll find a few of your purposes and your happiness together, as the two often come hand in hand with one another. Don't be disappointed if some of them seem to be kind of small. Even small things are worth doing and enjoying. I must say that they are infinitely preferable to nothing at all.

Popularity? That's an illusion and a dead-end, really. It carries with it no true intrinsic value and does nothing to make a person any better or happier than he would be if he didn't have it. It has even less real personal purpose and value than being seen as pretty. But yes, people do give a crap about you and would rather see you as happy and going somewhere than as depressed and heading down the tubes. I wouldn't call that an indicator of popularity so much as I would call it a marker for the quality of people here, yourself included, in that we can take a moment out from blathering on about everything and nothing and just focus on someone's troubles for a bit in a way meant to comfort and help.

In any event, I sincerely hope you are feeling less gloomy now. It sucks to be confused and unhappy without being able to figure out what to do about it.

TIN has been around and he's quite famous for minor-trolling. :) Don't take him too seriously.

Trolling? I always speak my mind, and in my mind, I am sick of the world. How I deal with it is up to me in the end.

Wow. Seems like TIN isnt the only person who feels less gloomy after reading all this.

When you let everyone else talk, you discover there are many more like you.

Well, this is for long term stuff (three months or so), but here's an idea. http://www.labri.org/
