    So I’ll be honest and say I have no want to prolong my life any longer than I absolutely have to. I have a myriad of mental issues, no plans to start or have a family and in general very little want to live another 50ish years.

    I think that’s not uncommon in a lot of men either. There’s very little incentive to make it that long anymore. I’ll be working till the day I die and some poor choices in my life up to this point have put a significant damper on what’s left.

      no plans to start or have a family

      Do you want to start/have a family? Society seems to pressure people into the mindset of wanting to “start a family”, but many people don’t actually want to, and that’s fine too.

        Nope, and while that’s a fine choice to make, it still leaves me pretty much alone for the remainder of my life.

        I don’t like making friends, nor am I good at it, and whenever I do manage to make one it fades away extremely fast no matter the effort I put in. Which makes it very clear it’s a me problem, so I just stopped trying.
