It isn't. Just named somewhat the same.

If the block time theory is true, though, that means our entire lives are already laid out, and will remain so forever. Humans experience time linearly; this seems to imply eternal recurrence. Once our consciousness ends, we'll simply loop back around to the beginning and do it all again.

Essentially, if our lives exist eternally, why would we only experience them once? I've always wondered about this - if I'm nonexistent in the future, why/how am I conscious now? I think I've found the answer.

This worries the fuck out of me. My life sucks balls, I can't imagine having to experience it all over again for eternity

Provided I don't end up experiencing something really horrible later in my life I'm not too worried, honestly. My life is pretty shit but not to the point where I'm suicidal or anything, if I forgot it all I wouldn't mind experiencing my life so far, and hopefully in its entirety, again.
The fact that experiencing my life again due to eternal recurrence is literally no different from what I'm experiencing right now kind of eliminates all the worry it might've caused me. Sadly it also eliminates most of the happiness I might've felt at knowing I won't have to face oblivion because I will never know that.
