Overpopulation and regression of social advances.
Im really mad and worried about the world my kids are inheriting.
Climate, not being able to retire on time
Rent is due in 27 days.
- Economic collapse
- Being too anxious to work
- Fascism
- Unexpected death
- Singularity
Climate change, and the generations after me who will have nothing left.
Probably about my pets
Me too. Just tonight I lost my cat, and found her hours later, with a tomcat on top… Doctor said she’s too young to be spayed, he was wrong…
Job, lack of relationship/connection, climate, existing in a semi burnout state.
Right now, climate change. This planet was a paradise and we ruined it for ourselves. I don’t think we have very long before ecosystems just start breaking down in massive ways.
This planet was a paradise
idk man, the “kill or be killed” nature of existence is kinda not really “paradise”
Well, considering on all the other planets we know about its “die or be dead”, I’d classify that as “paradise”
money
Ending up in a labor camp within the next 4 years
Have you considered moving to some civilized place?
Not the person you replied to, but:
My Options are:
-
Remain in US
-
Go back to China, an actual dictatorship. Hopefully Xi doesn’t find all the anti-CCP stuff I said while in the US? China tends to label people who have moved oveeseas as “汉奸” (Han Traitor). I could potentially end up in prison. Also job market has like 10 times more people competing than the US. Also 户口 (Hukou) issues, my Hukou was in some rural village, very shitty place. If I go to a city (where the actual jobs are), I’m essentially treated as a foreigner in my own country. (Also, China revoked my Chinese citizenship already. So I’d technically be an actual foreigner lmao)
-
Become… stateless and get stuck in an airport?
Or secret option number 4:
- Hope an advanced alien civilization abducts me? 😏 /jk, but that’s be fun tho
- French foreign legion
-
Most of us are far too broke.
It takes a one way ticket and ask for political asylum. Or something. If you have proof of ancestry somewhere in Europe you can get citizenship.
Lol. Most of the world still officially considers the US a democracy, so nope, no asylum. They’ll tell you to relocate within your country (aka, move to a blue state, blue city).
Good luck, and bye! you get deported back to the US
Not finding anyone to replace my ex in my heart. Someone not finding her and giving her the life we dreamed about.
She can’t be replaced
I know, I’m just unsure how to move on lifewise guiltwise lovewise
Have you grieved?
Yes, for about a year. I’m grieving still.
Do you have a lot of unresolved feelings? Did you get some sort of closure?
Feelings: I can’t shake away the thought that I’ve hurt her deeply. I mourn for the children we wanted to have. The house and the garden I promised. The stolen fertile years of her life. I hurt someone whose only crime was not quite being able to share the same headspace as me. I felt lonely in the relationship due to the language and the alien culture, but since I’ve been alone and moved back to my home country I’ve realised that I tend to just generally live in my head, regardless of language or company.
I feel that my loneliness problem wasn’t coming from her somewhat difficulty in hearing me, but in my difficulty sharing aspects of myself with others. I feel that I’ve ruined my life, and that’s okay, completely self-inflicted… but I can’t live with the idea that I’ve ruined hers too. The thought and the guilt buries me every night.
Closure: we’ve said goodbye a thousand times, and have talked about the above themes, but I can’t shake away the memories I have with her.
Sounds like a many incomplete closures? So you keep talking with each other or where are you now?
i worry our species is irreversibly doomed. honestly, i feel certain we are yet i refuse to act as though i believe it. if i give in and give up and sit back and wait for the worst to come then i won’t be able to say “i tried” to whichever younger generation asks the rest of us why we did nothing and let the human race go extinct. climate change will likely bring about the end but any number of things could happen before then, and capitalism will have spearheaded all of them.
I often get stuck in a frustrating loop of thought when I ponder the point of all of this.
Fascism & climate collapse.
