I was raised in a cult and was heavily bullied as a kid while at the same time being abused by my stepfather. I didn't have a childhood and as an adult I have been too traumatized to ever be around people my own age. It scares me to reveal anything about myself or grow close to people. Basically I am in my 30s and am just now realizing I never had a chance to live and the peak of my life went by without me being able to enjoy it. It hurts to know my life was taken from me. I get one life and it was ruined by these people. Should I just kill myself?
>>34710710None of the stupid shit people do in their youth is "the peak of life". No one can take your life from you, because your true life only begins once you've mastered yourself, which is something that's entirely up to you and nothing can ever get in the way of it.
>>34710710Nobody’s childhood matters. Just a bunch of video games and fapping. You didn’t really miss anything.
>>34710710Absolutely not, don't kill yourself that would be a waste. You suffered in rare ways, that means you will gain rare wisdom and insights into the human condition later. You can use that to either do great things for yourself or for others. This isn't a cope, it's reality.
>>34710710The past is over. What do you want your life to be from now on? Make that happen.
>>34710710We are only here for about 120 years at most. Accept that life sucks and move on.
