>What makes life worth living?
Nothing.

Other people would be extremely upset if I died.
>Why should I live.
You probably shouldn't.

Sex food and friends. Tv also helps. Video games

Take a hot bath, go to a massage parlor, ride a rollercoaster or something. Life can actually be really fun

I'm not a particularly religious person but I believe God created beauty on this planet and gave (You) life to experience and interpret that beauty. Where you find this beauty is up to you. It could be nature, art, music, people, experiences. He also gave (You) the ability to create beauty yourself, if you so wish. You have to work for it, way more than you want to, but you can do it.
I think that is a wonderful thing and makes life worth living, personally.

You dont really have a reason. My reason is as a way to satisfy the requirements that my friends and family have for me. Otherwise there really isn't much.

The way our bodies are biologically designed, which is not under our control, makes "anti-living" quite painful usually, whether short-term like finger burning on a stove or long-term consequences like cancer from prolonged smoking.

So for the most part, we're stuck here to try to make the best of it, because the alternative, usually ends up pretty painful and we avoid pain because we (biologically) can't really tolerate pain for that long.

So to be thrust into existence is to force ourself to live, because "anti-living" becomes too painful to tolerate for long. Although, if the pain is too much and inescapable, suicide and euthanasia are viable exits, especially if the pain isn't for any worthwhile gain whatsoever.

How?

Nothing. Too coward to end it.

I live for others, but when I have nothing left and only stress then I will end my shit. Its looking pretty bleak just about now, and I'm about at the end of this roller coaster

cope in any way you can. if you get bored or run out of coping mechanisms, keep in mind that if you aren't a murderer, rapist, or pedo, then you should keep breathing
>>
>>34633768
For the sake of becoming a better person. Someone who values cultivating virtue for virtue's sake is never hopeless or downtrodden, because his most difficult moments are also his greatest opportunities to grow.

>you aren't a murderer, rapist, or pedo,
I've still done a lot of bad things to people, and I feel guilt and regret for that. Those bad things aren't as bad as murder or rape, but they still make me ashamed of myself and feeling as if I don't deserve to be happy, though I still want to be happy.

>what makes life worth living
whatever you want desu, could be something as simple as taking care of your dog or having a hobby youre excited about

You do.

Why should I not?

Why should you not?

Life has no inherent meaning, you are supposed to give it meaning.
I know this is gonna make me sound retarded since Camus has long since hit the mainstream, but that "one must imagine Sisyphus happy" shit is genuinely on point.
It's up to you to give your life meaning. It's up to you to do things that make you want to live your life.
You are the meaning of your own life.

Time will never ever go back. What has happened has happened, and it will remain so forever and you cannot go back to fix it.
So, don't obsess over things you can't change. Your past is now out of your hands, but you are living in the present and you can plan for the future.
You can make it up to yourself and to others. Forgiveness is always possible, if not from others than from yourself.

Anon, the best time to start was a long time ago. The 2nd best time to start is right now.

I think the cons of living outweights the pros, but the genetic imperative forbids me from killing myself unless the suffering becomes unbearable. I you wanted to kill yourself, you'd already be dead, but you aren't. So keep going, until the cost of life becomes unbearable or just boring.
>>
>>34633768
>Why do you live?
To provide for my kids
>Why should I live?
You have potential, and are wasting it.

>>rollercoaster not available
There are theme parks all across the country. The furthest you can get from one would be to live in the eastern side of Montana. The best ones are nowhere near Florida.

To me, pic related.
>Why do you live?
Might as well make something worth existing.
>Why should I live?
1. I don't know.
2. It's not your fault.
3. If it hurts, you can make something beautiful with it.

Life is temporary, death is forever. May as well stick around and fuck around a bit. You have an eternity waiting for you after you die, so there's no need to rush it. Just stop caring about society's expectations and you will be free. Find joy in the little things. All those bullshit platitudes.

>>34633768
>What makes life worth living?
Whatever you want to
I think that Mishima Yukio was onto something when he said humans are too weak to live on their own, that we need some sort of ideal to strive towards
Now that can be anything, beauty, art, improvement...

>Why do you live?
Art, namely music and drawing

>Why should I live?
That's up to you.
Fuck around and find out what sticks.
