Is it normal to feel this way towards life?

I feel like this life has nothing to offer me that my dreams can and even better. I'm not depressed by any means. I just have Existenial Dissastification. I haven't had a bad life either.

In a way, I just want to leave this world so I can live the life I want, not the life I just have to deal with. After all, death is but the next adventure. Unfortunately, I'm not capable of doing it now.

Hopefully, my doomsday prediction (11/13/28) will come true so I won't be here very long. I would be dying before my 35th birthday.

    I think it's normal for some people. I hope you find a way to make your life better so it doesn't come true.

    And if it does, I hope the journey isn't as boring or worse than the one you're doing now.

    How'd you come to your doomsday prediction?

    What do you think happens after death?

    Understand this; death is nothing further, NOTHING. No other life, existence or feelings. Your body rots away to nothingness and life is extinguished. To believe anything else is pure delusion.
    We are all traveling thru time together and all we can do is to do our best to relish this remarkable ride.

      Can I ask how you know this? I know we've kinda been over this on a different thread but in my opinion it's delusional to believe anything about death other than that it happens, as it's impossible to know for sure. That is unless you have a very convincing argument to back your claims?

        If there was anything else, don't you imagine in something over 800,000 years of human existence on earth, there would be some sort of definitive proof of an afterlife? And yet there is nothing, not even believable tales or stories. Nothing, zilch, nada.

          Eh, 800,000 years isn't that long in the grand scheme of things. I mean in those 800,000 years we've only known about certain possibilities like the telephone and other scientific inventions for a tiny fraction of that time. Maybe that's unrelated but it seems odd to decide on something that can't be known by someone still alive when the possibilities are endless. Not that your opinion is definitely wrong either, it's just one possibility of many.

            I don't disagree with you at all. However, I know one thing for absolutely certain; this is our one and only guarantied life. The only one any of us know for a fact is real.
            Therefore, it makes absolutely no sense to me to waste it on a remote possibility of another.
            Live each day as if there is no tomorrow and dream as if you will live forever.

              Or as the great Bard himself said,

              "for in that sleep of death what dreams may come after we have shuffled off this mortal coil must give us pause. For who would bear the whips and scorns of Time, /.../ But that the dread of something after death, The undiscovered country from whose borne no traveler returns puzzles the will and makes us bear those ills we have, Rather than fly to others we know not of. Thus conscience makes cowards of us all, And thus the native hue of resolution is sickled o'er with the pale cast of thought."

              Yea that makes more sense when you put it that way. I don't get caught up in fantasies of an afterlife or anything like that but sometimes it's fun to entertain different possibilities. Either way though, I agree that this life is the one to focus on.
