I always thought there was something more to life and something I am missing.

But no, its really just the same no matter where you end up. The only thing that changes is climate and the people that surround you may have a few different views on life depending on culture.

I experienced it. And in this day and age things just seem to be even more alike than a few decades back. I can move from Germany to England, USA, Singapore you Name it and I will end up doing my routine (breakfast, gym, work, eat, …) in that location.

It sounds like my life is boring but its not. Its as exciting as the life of Billion other people. Its basic, nothing special and not boring.

I am by no means suicidal but if I had the choice to be Born again I’d decline and just rather rest. If everything goes well I have another 60 years on this Planet and I am grateful for each day to be here but 80 years is enough for me. I wouldnt want to live another 200 years

    I second a lot of opinions about that you might have depression.

    I’d like to prefer a slightly harder edged one.

    You could just be the sort of privileged asshole that thinks they know everything and they’ve seen everything just because it hasn’t been delivered to their door.

    First world problem stuff. Serious case of the wahs.

    The reason I bring this up is that you don’t just talk about your own ennui here. You go on to assert that there are a billion other people with similarly excitementless lives. How do you know that? Who are you to make that judgement on their lives and how they feel about it?

    You say you have 60 years left… That puts you in your twenties (and in the rather privileged and surprisingly rare position of living somewhere with a life expectancy of 80). Do you think that, maybe, you just don’t know that much about what is actually our there?

    Egotistical and helpless is not a good look.

    Consider this the tough love approach. It sounds like you are scared to find out. You are happy in your steady, safe rut and use the presumption that there is nothing else just to avoid going and finding out.

      This doesn’t read like something who thinks they know everything.

      Obviously, the person has come from privilege, so they don’t have a struggle in life. However, without that struggle, they don’t have another purpose in life. It just sounds pretentions since many people here wish they had that problem.
