The general idea of this board seems to be that everyone here is unhappy/unsatisfied with their lives, but I'm seeing lots of variation on why and I'd like to see all the different reasons stated here. Do you want companionship? Money? To be taller? A combination of these things?
Just post whatever applies to you, I'm interested.
i desire peace where i live
I wish that I was born, but with a different Brain, that my current self would be dead but someone more capable and normal would make my family happy and lead a normal life as expected of a normal person.
I don't care about girls, sex, money, friends or any of that stuff anymore. I try to ignore it but the only real reason I'm living is because I do or wish to kill myself while my parents are alive.
All I want is to make them happy and I know I am not capable of that, so all I want is that I would be dead and there would be someone to replace me.
i would like a women please
I want a gf
If that doesn't happen
you can give me a gun
fuck helium tanks
I wish I was passionate about something.
I want to live a cool story
>>25246881
Now that's an /r9k/ tier thread. Good job OP, you've got my backing.
>>25247179
Not sure if you're being sarcastic, but I thought it would be a neat idea.
>>25246881
I wish I could be someone else. A nicer personality, more caring, smarter, and a beautiful face/body so people will still want to be around me even if I'm shy.
I want to be loved and not abandoned once they get bored of me. I want to be wanted and want someone to desire my presence. I want to be pursued instead of giving myself over to the other person and finding that they don't give two shits about me.
I also wish I could start my life over with this new body/personality and fix everything that was wrecked by my old, shitty self.
>>25246881
A purpose. I am apathetic to living and it's eating me up.
>>25246881
I want threads like this to go back to reddit. /rk9/ is for Pepe and rage comics
>>25246881
I want to be the best at something I love doing (or at least arguably the best) that I can then use to support myself.
I want to fix the problems of the worlds,Impossible but at least i can try till they kill me.
Like every human being i wanted a GF,Money,Descendents, but now that im full into activism i dont give a fuck.

I forgot what I wanted and lost the drive to do anything.
I want to be a genius. Don't care about money,friends, gf and all those things. Just want to be good at math/science and do that for a living.
>>25246881
I want my friend to like me again
I want to ask the qt girl at work out
I want my sweaters to get hereI wanna die
I want to be a cute girl and I want purpose, whether it be something simple like loving someone or something greater.
I want a job where I get to do something interesting, that motivates me to reach my potential.
That, and financial freedom to not have to think twice about spending money on mundane things that make my everyday life easier.
I WANT A WIFE AND COMPANIONSHIP SENPAI!!!! *kneels*

This was painful to read with my bare eyes
good you can feel. welcome to humanity
>>25246881
i want cunts like you to stop pretending there's something "wrong" with being unhappy or dissatisfied
life is consistently underwhelming for everyone. now take your state sanctioned happy pills and fuck off back to reddit
>To be taller?
That's the one. Around 6 inches taller
Everything else I can deal with
I want to date like in pic related. I want her to lean her head on my shoulder morosely and cuddle with me as we travel by train on a rainy day. I want my family and everyone I know to forget about me. To live in a comfy little apartment and have a steady supply of cash for small pleasures. That would be nice.
>>25247567
>i want cunts like you to stop pretending there's something "wrong" with being unhappy or dissatisfied
Anon, did you read what you just typed?
I want to feel as happy as I did when I was 14 ;_;
>>25247610
whats the problem?
originale commento
>>25247619
I want to know what it's like to feel happy :^)
>>25247567
I'm not saying happiness is a marker of success, but I'd say the vast majority of people here want to be happy or at least satisfied, so I've chosen that to focus on. Even if you've decided that happiness is impossible for you, the question of what's preventing that is still applicable.
>>25246881
> What do you want?
Honestly, I want power. Control. I desire others to be under me. To have my word being law.
I know, I'm edgy as fuck but you don't know true pleasure until you can control someone's well being.
>>25247636
There obviously is something wrong with being unhappy.
It doesn't feel good bro, of course I'd want to change that feeling.
>>25246881
I want basement with food, electricity and stuff, great PC and all the games i want. Basically neet heaven.
But tbqhwy i want to want something else.
>>25247659
I don't understand this feeling.
>>25247658
> if you've decided that happiness is impossible for you, the question of what's preventing that is still applicable.
maybe because happiness is a fucking meme. it was only pushed as the constant "goal" of life by our capitalist society. why? because it means you buy shit, and you keep on buying shit, to try and be happier, because you can always be happier, its a goal you never reach. like "success". also, it stops people voicing dissent and keeps them working, keeping society aflloat if people can't even really talk about how shit things are, which i guess is why we find r9k comfortable. you can actually discuss real shit. its the same with comedy, comedy is always things you're not allowed to say but want to, which is why its always tragic, dark..etc
in an honest society we'd just admit that most of life is shit. we don't know what the fuck we're doing here, we have to constantly work just to stay alive and the end goal is death. you'll never be who you want to be, you'll always be behind other people, the world is totally unfair, chaotic, nonsensical.
tldr; fuck off back to reddit and take ur motivational thread bullshit with u
I don't 'want' anything any more. Love? Companionship? Money? Aesthetics? All of these are achievable, sure, but I just don't have the energy any more. It's like a horse who has stopped at a jump, it can make it and it knows how to make it but for some reason it can't place it just doesn't. The worst part of being this way isn't knowing no one loves you, or that you'll die alone and with nothing, or hating yourself so much and everything that you are, or seeing the contempt people have for you in their eyes, or knowing you've always been a disappointment to those who thought you could do so much more-it's knowing they were right, that you could have been something else and that you still can be, but you won't. You tell yourself you will at first, but come morning you just go back to sleep and eventually you just give up on life, existing because you're too fucking cowardly to die, and because you don't really want that either. You just stop wanting anything. It might seem like it, but a lot of r9k isn't depressed, just angsty and angry.
>>25247646
I hope your wish comes true one day anon
>>25246881
Career wise I want to write graphic novels, currently studying IT as a backup plan.
Socially I'm a virgin but it's hard to get girls when you live in a village where everybody knows you and you live in the shadow of your older brother who's cool, sociable and betterlooking.
All I want is to move to the city, write graphic novels under an alias online and live in a studio apartment with a moderate gf who's low maintance. I'm moving out soon but my next two goals are gonna be hard to pull off.
/blog
>>25247754
Who said I was being motivational? Or even had an optimistic viewpoint? I view happiness as an unrealistic goal because it's fleeting, which is why I use "content" or "satisfied" most of the time because it's more accurate. I just use happiness here because the society you're in views that as a measure of success, not because I do.
You don't think that at least some people you know are happy with life? What would help you be like them? That's what I'm asking here.
>>25247856
Don't respond to the bait please, if you look at the thread more carefully you can see a lot more bait that failed to trigger responses.
>>25247820
Thank you kindly anon. It will, or I'll die trying to make it come true.
>>25247856
> You don't think that at least some people you know are happy with life?
no. just deluded or forcing an act
> What would help you be like them?
drugs, or other forms of delusion
I'm unhappy because happiness doesn't exist.
I want to be Chad.
I want to be tall, attractive. I want to be the guy who is naturally confident due to being treated well in his childhood, not tortured and beaten up by his peers. I want to be the guy who has no trouble doing anything.
I'm not that guy. I'm average faggot who got dealt a hand that isn't particulary great(manlet, small dick, ugly). And I have to work hard for everything. I know someone's gonna call me entitled teenager and say shit like
>hurr laif eeez nut faaihr
I don't give a shit. I'm still pissed off. It's like going to the store to get a beer and being expected to pay 20$ per bottle while Chad comes in and gets a twelve-pack for 5$. Makes me unhappy. Makes me hate myself. Makes me hate Chad and everyone really. Not sure why I'm still going on.
I am unhappy/unsatisfied with life in general, not my life specifically. I don't even have a life because I couldn't accept the conditions of what it takes to survive and thrive in society. Everything about this existence and the people in it seems delusional and fake. My choice to not make choices is not because of my insignificant place within it, but because of the unanswered questions and the continual suffering of those around me who I cannot help. If everyone that is alive and apart of my species is not happy and safe then how can I accept that and move on with my life? I'll never be happy and I'll never be apart of the human race, I'm just an observer biding my time through hedonistic distractions in pursuit of an early grave, my path is fucking hilariously pathetic and boring. There is scenery more interesting and alive than me. I don't necessarily want to be alone forever, but I don't want to partake either. I don't want to die, but I don't want to live. What I want doesn't matter in the end, I don't make choices, the only choice left from the perspective in which I view things is to give up on everything completely. Why would I fight against the inevitable? That's insanity. I am not anybody here and it's too late to become anybody, I don't belong here. My existence is nothing more than a burden on those who choose happier paths. I cannot act like everything's okay like everybody else. I have to obsess over everything and anything and search for a perfection that does not exist. I f there is a god out there I want to find it and kill it for the pain it has caused. What I want doesn't exist, therefore I shouldn't exist. The end.
I want to be back in Afghanistan with my mates again.
Best job I ever had, I earn more now and have more freedom but god damn I miss that.
>>25246950
where do you live, my friend??
>>25246881
dude
i have absolutely no idea
the outside world is overrated honestly
I want my girlfriend to not be depressed, or for her to decide to break up with me. Either would be satisfactory
I want to be left alone, to not have to answer to anybody and to have access to the escapist things I like.
Who do you think you are?

I want to undo the past. I was a year younger than everyone else in school and was immature and looked like shit which I think in big parts led me to get shy, mocked and have low self-esteem. Now I'm a broken decent looking 6'2 23yo virgin.
>>25248071
That's called generalized anxiety anon. And choosing to do nothing is still a choice.
>>25246881
All I want is my hearing back.
>>25248360
Say more.
>>25248339
I had really bad acne in school and then when I got out of school it cleared up and I blossomed like the ugly duckling into a beautiful swan but I still feel deformed
>>25248372
There isn't much of a story, anon. Doctor prescribed me anti-depressants that gave me permanent tinnitus and hearing loss, now I can't listen to music or do anything else I enjoy.
Romantic companionship and financial independence.
I want life to mean something but I feel like it doesn't. I want to be modivated to do something but it just doesn't feel worth it anymore.

>somewhat meaningful career
>equal partnership marriage
>a family
>mutual trust
>mutual attraction
>mutual devotion/affection
>sexual compatibility
It's alot to ask for.
I want to find a career I can be passionate about but the problem is going to university terrifies me in case I spend years working on a degree for a job I well might not even like.Also I can't study for shit anyway.
I also just want to be with someone I really care about. For years I've managed to hold off this sense of loneliness but now it's getting to me more than ever. I feel like I've met someone I've got a sure chance with, but I keep doubting myself and coming up with reasons why it won't happen and that she could just not be into me.
I hate all this.
I'd like to be more dominant instead of a beta faggot, and companionship
I want not to want.
>>25248981
This or happiness or inner peace or something.
>>25248407
Well shit, one year after starting to take meds I also got a Tinnitus, I can still hear normally though. Sorry for your loss man, is there any chance of it coming back?
I don't really have a name for what I want. From when I was little I always had this feeling that something was missing inside of me, it felt like a hole in my chest. Started falling in love with girls very early and thought maybe a GF would fill that hole, but I couldn't get one until now (23 now).
Then in hopes of filling that hole I turned to porn and hentai games, also anime, and got addicted really bad. But that feeling is still there. It's like you want to be hugged an tightly embraced and filled with warmth. I was never hugged though, not because noone wanted to, but because I didn't want it, at least not from my family. I only wanted to be hugged by my respective crushes.
Strange isn't it? But this is probably the root cause of many of my problems.
>>25246881
I don't want the world to change, or to have more things, I just want to be better, I want to be good enough for a decent job, I want to be good enough for a girlfriend. Alas, I remain shit, and too lazy to do anything about it.
>>25246881
I want to satisfy my ego.
I want to sail the atlantic
>get myself a nice cosy ~10m sailboat I can man myself
>start somewhere in portugal
>finish somewhere in the carribean
>spend nights looking at the stars
>drinking some sweet liquor
>reading books
>just me and the vast ocean
>>25246881
I just want people to stay the hell out of my way. I don't have big plans, but holy shit there are so many people who do not know what boundaries are.
Also being done with college would be nice
>>25249672
>But that feeling is still there. It's like you want to be hugged an tightly embraced and filled with warmth.
I know exactly what you mean.
>>25246881
I want to be not feeling so shitty.
I lost interest in anime, I usually celebrate christmas and new years with /a/ and I was satisfied but now I've got nobody.
why did this happen
I know exactly what I want.
>>25246881
I can't change what I am, but at least I can discuss it.
>>25246881
I want you to fuck off back to reddit.
>>25246881
>tl;dr
I wish i had what it takes to accomplish myself and the changes i would have to take.
I clearly lack something, but I don't know what, and if I knew, i wouldn't be here in the first place
>>25250041
You lack determination, you think you don't but truthfully the closest you ever came was getting hyped from watching a motivating scene in a movie/anime after which you quickly went back to being lazy.
I don't even know what i want. That's why i'm so crippled. I just don't know what i want to do with my life. I'm trapped because of my indecisiveness.
I just want a small qt gf who shares some of my personality and is a conservative virgin. Everything else is actually pretty decent in my life.
>>25249954
What do you know, I'm not completely alone with this feeling after all.
To be honest, I could probably go in introspection and try to find out what it is, but I am scared of what I might find, something tells me that it is something really unpleasant.
I want to live somewhere in the north of spain or portugal.
I want to own a small house in the mountains, have a few chickens, a dog and room to grow my own food.
Having enough money to live on without working full time, and a qt gf/bf to cook for me.

Be less ugly
Get fit

Live in a country where being a faggot wont get me killed
I want to die quietly without causing any distress to my mother.
i want to let go of everything im holding onto
im so tired
>>25250437
Of all the posts in the thread, this is the most "facebook status" sounding one.
>>25247386
me too, my friend. I try to achieve that by learning from people I consider the most close to that and being passionate about my field of study. But yeah. I'm afraid I'm just average.
>>25250369
>Live in a country where being a faggot wont get me killed
where do you live senpai? I assume it's not 1st world?
>>25250479
>thinking americans don't kill fags
>>25247409
try something greater. The other option is boring, can be very satisfying though.
>>25250456
then kill me please
>>25246881
Just want someone to talk bullshit, philosophy, anything with, to empty stream of conscious on and receive stream of conscious from.
Also to experience beauty (in tale, art, nature, whatever)
And to have my life be a story I'd read.
I would like to be happy and to have a friend who I can talk to and have fun with.
Unfortunately that will never happen because I'm a fucking retard with a fucked up brain.
Is world peace a boring answer? I'd like needless killing to end at least, and I consider all killing needless unless it is to prevent more killing.
I just want as many people to be happy as possible, though I guess I'm in the wrong place to be having that kind of opinion.
>>25247730
Even if it's probably not what anon meant, but part of getting disciplined and mature is to endure unhappiness temporarily for a long term goal or for the well being of another person. If you are unvoluntary in this position however then, yeah, learn from what you did wrong and do it different next time.
>>25246881
basically, I wanted to don't exist, but speaking about my current life, I wish I had passion for something, something to motivate me get up in the morning.
>>25246881
I'd like for my mental health to recover. Been putting a lot of effort into it but the results aren't looking good for 2 whole years as a NEET trying to sort it out.
>>25250537
If you want to talk about random philosophy shit you can add me on steam at http://steamcommunity.com/id/determinismbestism or you know, don't or whatever
A reason to live.
Barring that, enough money to be able to live the rest of my life in comfortable apathy.
>>25250695
Your second option is literally scrooge.
Did you watch a.Christmas carrol today?
I just want a gf. I don't want friends or money or self improvement. I want a gf mostly for validation. So I can go anywhere without feeling inferior to people who've had a relationship. But my life doesn't suck, I enjoy being alone and I'm mostly a cyborg.
I want to be a fucking Jedi.
Other than that, be done with college, fix my fucking cerebral palsy and have enough money to live comfortably.
>>25248043
Stop thinking about Chad. Free yourself from Chad. Free yourself from other people. Seriously you see it doesn't help you to set your expactations on yourself that high. Things like "being good at everything" can be achieved, but need to start from a humble place. Try to get really good at one thing first and make the best of what you have. This will set already bring you further then other people.
>manlet, small dick, ugly
yeah no one gives a shit, as long as you don't give them a reason to.
>>25246881
I just want a girlfriend / wife who will stay with me for life. Modern women have no commitment, they're too flippant and hard to even date in the first place.
I'm a good wagecuck and make enough to give her a life of leisure. I just can't find her. They never give me a chance because they're too busy sucking Chad's dick.
I want to be a professional poker player and I think I'm going to be able to do it. Have about a million dollars coming in from a lawsuit against the doctor that fucked my spine up and I'm going to use that to better my already decent poker ability and become the best that ever was :^)
If that doesn't work out a gf would be fine I guess, or a more comfortable living space.
>>25251003
He fucked up your spine a million dollars bad? I'd ask for a fixed spine.

Another surgeon fixed what he did + most of the underlying scoliosis but I'm still taking this gook motherfucker to the fucking bank.

>>25246881
I want a purpose in life. Above anything else I would want to be told to go on some epic fantasy quest with a couple of companions and a girl, with a clear end goal in mind.
This is a little off topic but the reason I've become basically a nazi is because it gives me a clear end goal in mind even though I have no idea how to get there.
True happiness. I wanna let go of everything and be truly free. No bank accounts, no cellphone, no people who drag me down, nothing at all.
Just me and myself and a broken guitar to keep myself occupied, for I'm already alone, so might I go even further.
>>25246881
I don't know what I want. So I say I want nothing, which is more true than anything else I could say, but still not completely true. I want something. I just don't know what it is.
Actually, I guess I could say that what I want is to find out what I want. I've heard of people who went and traveled the world looking for it, but I can't give myself to such silly romantic notions. I have to stay right here and do nothing and die never having found out what I want.
I wish to finish my retail degree and get myself a nice apartment with a balcony that looks out on a park or something. I just want a stable income and not have to rely on minimum wage. My biggest wish perhaps is just to take a tripp to New York and just gaze at the skyscrapers and after that just travel to the westcoast.
>>25247610
Life is a constant disappointment. People selling the myth of A Happy Life are only setting you up for further sadness when things don't (and they won't) turn out to plan.
