I've always wanted to be struck by lightning (and survive with relatively few complications). Not enough to tempt fate. Kinda like how everyone "wants to die," but they never actually kill themselves. Y'know?

........I think you're describing either depression, or masochism.

[–] OldManBOMBIN@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (11 children)

What? No, like, y'know how we all kinda wanna die all the time- like how we all kinda hope the gas tanker crosses the line and there's nothing we can do about it. Y'know?

You may need to see a therapist then

You can't psychoanalyze yourself, so you might wanna look into it. Just sayin'. Times are tough all around.

I'm not trying to psychoanalyse myself. I'm saying that I don't think "not wanting to die" is grounds to get therapy. Quite the opposite, in fact.

Sounds a little delusional to me, but you do you little buddy.
