    i understand how you feel. i dont know many people that have died, like very few people close to me and i have always been given everything i want and sometimes its like i want something to go wrong so i can complain about something or have a tough story to tell so i think youre totally normal but since your life is a lot better than some peoples' you should help those who need help it will make you feel like you did good and you will make someone happy

  • It's normal. You feel guilty for having a good life when others are suffering. Try giving to charity

    You should take lyricallie's advice. Go out on your own with nothing but the clothes on your back and see how that works for you.

    Why do you feel this way? I think nothing2 may have a point - you need to feel that you have some kind of meaning in your life.

    Perhaps you could do some volunteering to help others or causes you believe in. If you want some more of the 'struggling to survive' fare, then the australian wilderness could be for you. Or there's always camping lol.

    no it's not normal.

    First of all, I find it hard to believe your life is perfect. If it is, you are very lucky. Instead of committing suicide, you should change things up a bit. Find a new activity, get a new job, do something different, exciting, and challenging.

    If you feel guilty that you have more than others, there are many ways you can contribute: volunteer or give some money to charity.

    If you are absolutely desperate, run away with a hundred bucks in your pocket and try to build your life up from there.

    haha, trust me A LOT of people would love to be in your position, so be grateful for what you have!!!

    No, it's not normal. One day of the suffering you're talking about, and you'd be begging to return to your so-called "perfect life". Be glad that you don't have to scrape and claw and fight to survive, because I promise, there's not a single thing fun about it.
