The longer we suffer, the more we dwell on suffering – eventually suffering and the thought of suffering eclipse each other entirely

Sometimes the thought of suffering is worse than the actual suffering

You’re right I agree, and that makes me think about if the thought of suffering isn’t there than are we really suffering, than that brought me to trans-humanism and that whole idea

But than trans humanism made me think about if we don’t know we’re suffering/or not at all than would we still be human than, and not more like a robot

I don't see it as transhumanist. There is pain. Pain is real. But the thinking about the pain only exacerbates it. And sometimes the thinking about it creates more stress than the actual pain.

Yeah you right I wasn’t trying to make it sound like I was saying that was transhumanist, was just saying I was reading about suffering on the web and that brought me to transhumanism

But you’re right thinking about it causes more stress than the actual pain, like how depression can cause physical pain in some people

Worrying and fretting about shit can make you truly ill

It will shit can give you ulcers and kind of other shit, I like to use pessimism as a form of therapy of sorts for my depression it helps me knowing that I’m not the only one that thinks way I do as strange as that may sound

I can't prove it but I think stress is what triggers a lot of cancer.
As far as pessimism goes, I think it's more common than is publicly acknowledged. Antinatalism, on the other hand, is rare.
I agree, I was gonna say cancer but not being able prove it(like you said) I just said other shit LoL. I think a lot of people are more pessimistic they just don’t want to admit it

I've known a lot of pessimists. My parents were pessimistic as hell. Always looked on the dark side of things. I've had friends that were pessimistic. But I've never known an antinatalist in real life. I cant even talk to ppl about it. They just glaze over lol
