You were incapable of having a will at the time. In hindsight you may not want to have been born but you can't say you were born against your will.

Unless you have some kind of genuine mental problem, as a child, socializing and having friends is the easiest thing in the world and it comes completely naturally. I doubt you were forced to play with other children.

Your parents hands are tied there. You have to go to school, its the law. And it equips you with life skills and knowledge so you can function and thrive in the real world, but no, act as if going to school was a bad thing.

Most people like living and if you don't want to live on this planet, you know where the door is. It's not like you are being kept here against your will.

People shouldn't tell me to shut the fuck up and deal with it when I express that I have a problem with my life. I don't even know what kind of response just saying that would get me. It's usually people saying that I am just being a whiny piece of shit.
Well it really depends on what your problem is. You haven't given us any actual examples. And being truthful here, all you have ever done on this forum is complain, so when they call you a whiny piece of shit, I have to agree with them.

They aren't saying they are better than you. They're saying that you are extremely lucky to be born in the USA, the land of the free, the land of opportunity. You have a roof over your head, food on your table, parents who look after and pay for you, energy, toilets, TV and internet. Most of the 7 billion other people on the planet don't have these things. We all take things for granted but you should consider that you are in-fact, extremely fortunate. Maybe you should go travelling to places like India and Africa. See the slums and how some people live. That's always a humbling experience.

Your problem seems to be with life itself.

No, they are saying that everybody has bad days but we still survive. And that stewing in a pool of our own sadness and self loathing doesn't help.

If you talk to them like you talk to us, I wouldn't be surprised.

But one of your problems is with people. Is there any type of person that you think you could actually get along with?

AND DO ALL THIS FUCKING INSANE SHIT TO GET THROUGH THIS YEAR! FUCK YOU!!!!!
You're complaining of no support but have you ever tried seeing a therapist at all? Obviously the support of friends and family is off the table for you so a professional seems to be the only option here.
2. As a kid you are all forced to do things you don't want to do. Maybe you can't remember but kids are taughtt to use manners, behave according to rules. I may not speak for everyone but I imagine that all kids are forced to behave opposite to how they feel. Adults are too.
3. It is a bad thing. It is a horrible thing. There is nothing worse than being bound to that mass cattle farm.
4. I do not empathize with your pro suicide point of view. When someone kill themself the ratio of good people goes down and the ratio of bad people goes up. I have friends who I care for dearly and I would be crushed if they killed themself. How dare you devalue the human life. It's the most important thing in the world.
5. The people I am referring to are people on this forum. The only other people I interact with are my parents and I avoid doing that as much as possible.
6. Generalizing my life is just saying you don't take my feelings seriously. You think I am supposed to be happy, which I'm not. So it's a moot point.
7. As I said in my last point, my problem is no one takes me seriously. I seriously dislike how much hate I get from people taking some sort of indirect hostility as being hostility towards them somehow.
8. "That doesn't help" super advice.
9. Don't automatically assume this. I hate how whenever other people perceive me with a negative perspective and just write me off. I feel like no one values my life. You especially don't. You just said "you know where the door is". Again. How dare you.
10. And the way they spend money on me isn't valuable to me and is none of my business?
11. Friendly people. I have one friend. She's a girl on the internet who I talk to all the time who is understanding and sweet and we share a mutual respect for each other. My problem with other people is they have no respect for me and don't care about my company.
12. I have tried multiple psychologists and they all suck.
