Do people who are popular live longer? Or do people who think are popular live longer?
In other words, is it enough to think you are popular to affect your DNA?

#82I have considered suicide for the past 30 years. I tried very hard to build a life in the confines of whatever limitations I've been given and/or created for myself. I determine that the nature of humanity is to seek power. This study reminds me of why this world is total bullshit. I've notified to be part of this world anymore.

If you were not trying to be poetic, religious or weren't under any influence, I thought I'd let you know that what you wrote sounds like meaningless word salad to me. It could be wise to consider seeking professional help to ensure everything is alright.
And as for concluding thoughts about world and human nature, I could suggest studying academic philosophy of those topic if you have extra time - to explore the enormous complexities that lies underneath those notions.

#83Earlier quoted context omitted.
This I'll never understand. You're blaming others for being selfish yet ask that they participate furthering causes you believe in. You're asking others to do your work for you! Nay I say! Free will - or the ability to be as useless as one wants - is one of the very few beautiful things in this world and a basic human right. I shall not bow to your wicked ways! I shall continue to be completely useless until the last…
And yet ironically suicide is also illegal, and many states don't even have half-way decent right-to-die laws for those with terminal illness. http://www.everything-game.com personally helped me see more value in life. It actually got me thinking that maybe having children wasn't the worst idea in the world. Edit: for me personally, I get a lot out of helping people. I try to help people get better jobs and move out…
Well, hat's off to you sir :)
Also, that game looks awesome. Must. Get. Copy. Fast.
About legality - I can see why people are hesitant to legalize suicide as it can be exploited for personal gain or for the thrill of pushing others off track... For the terminally ill it should be granted tho. That's just cruel.
At the above post - I just have a problem with people criticizing suicide as some horrible sin. More sticks! That will bring someone back!
Happiness is a choice?? Life itself is a choice! For all those who have yet to self-terminate and who keep marching off in the unknown I say thank you for still being here and best of luck!

#85I've found human lives to consist in significant part of feedback loops. Positive feedback loops, and negative feedback loops. A person receiving positive feedback tends to feel better, be more socially comfortable and engaging, and to receive resources that help them on their journey. This response and that assistance actually helps them become better. Better nutrition, more attentive and patient instruction. Etc. I…
The effects you described are absolutely real, but your abuse of control theory jargon deserves condemnation.
Positive feedback is when a process reinforces itself: the uglier you are, the more others hate you, the uglier you become.
Negative feedback is when a process cancels itself: the better you look, the more others envy and sabotage you, at some point you can't go further.

#86Unpopular live longer too, I believe the more hatred you have, the longer you live, and no this is not a post SW binge comment.
Suicide bombers don't seem to have a long life expectancy.
But their leaders live longer. Which exposes OP's fallacy - haters live long if their hatred makes them popular.

Suicide for any able-bodied person privileged enough to be born under good circumstances in the first world is so incredibly selfish. There are so many causes worth fighting for, like bringing a basic income, fixing our medical system, etc. If you're going to kill yourself, at least do it for a cause so that it can help the world and isn't completely in vain. Maybe go to Washington and do a hunger strike in front of…

I'm sure you wonder why depressed people say they don't want to open up about their depression. It's because people like you make a point of pushing them down further and weighing them down with guilt.

I'd suggest you pay a visit to your nearest ER and have the staff there give you some advice.
Melancholic depression, fairly often is a symptom of other known health problems, that we as humans have ways of alleviating.
I'm sure you've spent time and effort towards trying to solve what you are wrestling with now, but if you would like to give it one more chance the best possible thing you could do is pay your nearest ER a visit.

Thanks for advice. This is long term. I don't need nor want er. I want to die.
This is a lifetime desire. I decided as a child this world was shit. I've since seen more and more reasons to never procreate, and my desire to die has been consistent.
I've seen enough of this world. Thank you again. You're doing your part. Some people just want out, however.

Why not just leave your job, walk out of your home, leave everything behind and travel to somewhere far away where interesting people reside? There is so much left to try before suicide. It's like blowing up your car because you ran out of gas.
> travel to somewhere far away where interesting people reside?
Why would people far away be more interesting than people around you?
