I’m hesitant to share my opinion because I think it’s unpopular and I don’t want to upset anybody, but in the interest of making others like myself not feel so alone… I think if we’re being deeply honest with ourselves, it probably isn’t? I have a good enough life, but if I never existed I couldn’t be sad to not experience it. I want to enjoy things to the best of my ability (and have made some pretty good strides towards this lately), and don’t want to go through the potentially painful and scary process of dying, and some people depend on me, so I’m here for the time being and I think that’s good enough for now :). But truthfully if I had the choice I think I’d rather not go through this, even though I’m perfectly happy right now. I just find it very hard to go through life and I’d be grateful to not have to work and worry so much. I kind of wish it was less taboo to talk about this because it’s hard to have these thoughts alone, and I think it’d be nice if we could come up with better answers.
I agree. Not existing beats life. BUT since I'm already here, I'll stay because I love my mom (still would rather not exist)
I feel the same most of the time. Thank you for sharing

Also I feel the same way. I'd rather not experience the pain and suffering, but I'm here anyway and therefore I'll occupy my time doing things I think have meaning.
For me that's using my ability to engineer things that people find helpful and make life better.
