Another example when I was 16 working at the movie theater like the manager would go tell someone to sweep and then he would come throw the broom at me and be like "hey i need you to sweep this," even though I was doing other stuff that i was supposed to do.
And even when I was in the air force there was this guy who was the SAME rank as me and every morning when I would go into the office he would be like "hey i need you to go check the restrooms/clean stair wells/etc" and stuff even though none of that stuff was part of my job and we had separate maintenance people that did it in the after hours, he would only do it in front of others to put me down.
The short version is: if they have no authority over you, and they haven't been given temporary authority over you by your superior, don't listen to them. They have as much authority over you as you let them. On a side note: if they are deemed "better" employees for some reason (real or imaginary), they might have more clout and be able to get away with things they shouldn't. So long as you're doing good work and your supervisor/CO doesn't like them better, don't follow their orders.
I dealt with this when I used to wash dishes. Normally, I'd be good at covering for other people to keep things moving smoothly, but if they started ordering me around and/or slacking off and expecting me to carry their weight, it wouldn't happen. I had two different people yelling escalating threats at me that I knew were nothing more than that: threats. I kept doing what I was doing and told them to fuck off. When they'd start yelling again, I'd say "Or what? Are you going to make an even scarier threat?".
People like that walk over you because they can.

Also when I think about death it's like you go through life but you don't really think much about how it is to die, but then when you see you are dying and you start thinking "well this is it!" it gets kinda scary and you start making excuses to why ya should live and how life wasn't so bad but then when death truly comes there's you can do to stop it, so it's like spend whole life crying and wanting to die, then when it's time to die you can't live no matter how much you beg and cry.
I'm sorry to see you say that. I'm not very good at talking about these sorts of things. I would encourage you to reach out to loved ones or professionals that could offer you far more useful advice than me.
