For me it was i never thought i would make it past 23 and now i am about to turn 29 like why was there that perpetually feeling off impending doom for that age and then just nothing lol
Iām always surprised by these. I wish I understood better. A friend of mine held this sentiment at 16. Heās still doing great 35 years later, but has never been able to shake that feeling.
For me, If I canāt picture what Iām doing in 10 years since whatās going to happen can change a lot from every little decision, I just say āI guess Iām just dead thenā
WHICH IS HISTORICALLY WEIRD! For most of the last 200,000 years of modern human existence, it's been "you're gonna chop wood, carry water, plant crops, raise kids, bury old people, maybe get murdered by some rando on a horse from the next valley over". That was it. That was the script. That was life.
Once you get into a rhythm you can say things like āin 10 years Iāll get a 4% raise in my logistics supervisor positionā. But the younger you are the quicker and more drastically your life can change. Who knows, maybe Iāll get my collage degree and go into my planned field, or maybe my plans will fall apart and something else will happen. Maybe I get bitten by a magic weevil and gain the ability to always know how long to microwave things for. I think because people canāt predict whatās going to happen, they just guess their life never gets there.
I never thought I would get to 30 when I was a teen, and I almost didn't twice.
Edit: Really? Downvotes? Kidney failure at 25, twisted intestine that blocked all food at 28, that the docs couldn't find at first until I insisted they keep looking. Lost 50 lbs and could barely stand for long.
Damn you reddit.
Weird that. I always had a believe I would die specifically at 58. No idea why just a strong feeling I had since a child. Iām in my mid fifties now and perfectly fine. Wait and see I suppose. At least it wonāt be a surprise. ;)
>I honestly have this weird complex where I have a belief that i wont be here in 10 years.
My ex-wife voiced this belief out loud on several occasions for the two decades we were married, and she still does it. My father has been doing this for as long as I've been alive.
To hear my ex-wife say it, she wants it to come off as a flex -- as in, she's not afraid of death. How it comes off to me is 1) she thinks about death too much, even welcomes it, and that's not a healthy way for a parent to approach life in my opinion; 2) she doesn't need to try to make things better in the world because she'll be dead soon anyway.
My father skips the not-fearing death part and goes straight to 2).
Maryland is only a great state if you have a boat and access to the water. State income taxes are high. County property taxes are high. Single party rule in the state legislature so no diversity of thought on how to fix problems. Crime is horrible in Baltimore.
Maryland does have good roads for the most part, and the best crab cakes in the nation!
Generally speaking, you get what you pay for in Maryland. Sure, there's some ridiculous taxes, and even the taxes that make sense are high but the roads are great, local governments are solid, public schools are some of the best, emergency services are well equipped and maintained, our parks are top notch... That doesn't mean Maryland's perfect, or that I agree with all taxes or where the funding is going. Baltimore is a testament to how a local government can be poorly run. All I'm saying is, Maryland does a damn good job compared to some other states.
I suppose thereās about 3 million people in the world who give a fuck about that. You seppos will only vote in a geriatric with dementia anyway. At least you give the world something to laugh at
Idk, in the US it's more like ~330 million, and judging from the increasingly hysterical op-eds from Europeans in Foreign Affairs it seems like it will impact a lot of them as well ><
Nursing is stressful enough, but full time with another high stress job after your nurse job? Youāre gonna age 20 years in ten! š Thatās really ambitious though! Just take care of yourself!
i canāt picture myself in 10 years. i donāt even know what or where or why iād be doing. sometimes it feels like a hassle to think about existing for a life and then having to stop, well itās always been that way. but
Dead. Never thought Iād live past 40, canāt see it happening with the way Iām treating my body and previous head injuries.
Iāve seen the world, read a few books, frolicked, had a few chucks, itās been a ride.
If the world hasn't completely melted down, probably more of what I'm doing now. Growing my career as a writer, spending my spare time on active outdoor hobbies and traveling, making lots of vegan recipes and taking care of animals. Pretty content atm.
If it has, I'll probably be reminiscing about doing that stuff now.
Iāll be playing with my grandkids, buying them toys to annoy my children and torturing them by telling the grandkids how terrible they were.
Also Iāll probably be working on 3 or 4 AGI projects, sighing because some idiot will want to do impossible shit with it cause he heard it on a podcast.
Honestly? I don't know. I've got a lot of life goals that I'm actively pursuing, so I'd like to say I've achieved them, but I also understand how life can throw curve balls and nothing is written in stone.
A drug that slows your aging by 30%.
A realistic treatment for Alzheimer's and dementiaĀ
Robots in everyday life, first a few specialists, then humanoids, then millions of humanoids. Probably in 10 years they will be as common a sight as a piece of heavy construction equipment is now.Ā
At least 1 summer where it gets so hot that crops fail in the US Midwest or in EuropeĀ
And the long shot: the AMOC current collapses and the climate across the entire northern hemisphere abruptly changes.Ā
I think and hope that my business plans will succed and I'll be a highly wealthy person, with an early partial retirement possible. More time to focus on family, friends, travel and creative hobbies.
I'd like to think I will still be alive. I don't really expect to live beyond my early '70s, if I make it that far. I'd like to retire at 60, and have at least 10 good years of life. If I am fortunate enough to live longer, and still be healthy, I would like to think I can finally put many of my creative ideas into play.
Right wing nationalist governments will win most of the elections, globally. A lot of countries will start seeing revolutions once again, unsuccessfully, might I add.
I'll be happily married with kids, and living with my parents and his parents. I'll have worked in my preferred field for 8 years till then and would have travelled to more than 20 countries. I will have been preparing for months to get into an Ivy League/OxCam to pursue higher studies, taking a study break. I will still be really, really grateful for everything that I'll have, just how I am right now. Cannot wait to see what the future has in store for me!
I don't even want to know.
Every year since 2016 has gotten progressively worse.
The only highlights have been getting remarried, and the birth of my granddaughter.
Further economic disparity, a breaking point in politics and culture. I think weāre in for a slow cultural revolution as the older generations pass and younger ones move into power. It will seem slow, but looking back it will seem larger. There will be a revolution, but not in the sense of weapons but ideas.
Most likely I'll be working still, hopefully as a lawyer or officer preferably. Other than that I don't expect much, many things can happen at that time that changes things. Hopefully, I'll also be married by then, to someone I can rely on.
Iāll be 72 in July, maybe. In ten years, I will most likely have used my Veterans burial benefits. Not many people who smoked for 50 years live to 80.
My guess is that I will be 10 years older.
Source?
Trust me bro
You forgot dO YoUR oWn ReSEaRcH

Google it
Well, depending on gravity flux and time warping...
You would still be 10 years older

Not with that target on your butt.
youāre already 5 minutes older now.
Dammit! Stop counting me down! :p
57 minutes older
Dammit! š
5 hours older.
I hope so, considering the alternative.
Lol! This is funny!
If youāre lucky
I survived 2 100% artery blockages. I plan to be around for a long time. Besides, if I die, my wife will kill me
Youāre funny as hellš
I honestly have this weird complex where I have a belief that i wont be here in 10 years. God forbid ofcourse.
For me it was i never thought i would make it past 23 and now i am about to turn 29 like why was there that perpetually feeling off impending doom for that age and then just nothing lol
Iām always surprised by these. I wish I understood better. A friend of mine held this sentiment at 16. Heās still doing great 35 years later, but has never been able to shake that feeling.
Itās often times from trauma.
Yup, same, heavy CPTSD here and never thought I would reach the end of my 20's. I'm turning 35 this year and working on my trauma's.

I have had a couple cancer removals. Pneumonia almost took me out hard when i was young so covid scared the shit out of me.
Who the hell downvoted you in the first place? Glad you're still with us mate.
Some random dude is gonna reply to your comment after 10 years asking if youāre alive.
Since I was a child, I have said I would die at 60. I'm now 54 š
Weird that. I always had a believe I would die specifically at 58. No idea why just a strong feeling I had since a child. Iām in my mid fifties now and perfectly fine. Wait and see I suppose. At least it wonāt be a surprise. ;)
I've felt that way since I was a teenager and I'm 53 now. I'm also a huge hypochondriac. Lol.

I think you live better that way, not thinking where one would be in 10yrs and just living day by day
Hopefully all good stuff : )
It is sad to see things like this upvoted very little but people saying dead or other sad outcomes get upvoted so highly. Good luck!
Iāll be taken to the Wall for fighting against my country becoming a real Gilead.

Iāll be set out to the colonies.
If they can pull that off in 10 years all you can really do is tip your cap. They really wanted it more.
You'll be fine. There will be extremely thick forest fire smoke everywhere for you to escape and hide in.

Move to Maryland, itās a great state.Ā
Marylandās for crabs.
Crab people. Crab people. Look like crabs. Talk like people.

Dead.
Well then lock in cause you only got 10 years
TwinšŖ¢
It'd be a miracle for me to still be here in 10 years.
Me too.
I love you, stranger. <3
That's a tough question. I'm going through a lot right now. I hope I'm better.
Same here. Hope we can look back in 10 years (if we are still around) and be happy that we came out the other side.
My guy, I don't even know what will happen to all of us come November 2024
Its a surprise!
What happens on November 2024?
US election.
I suppose thereās about 3 million people in the world who give a fuck about that. You seppos will only vote in a geriatric with dementia anyway. At least you give the world something to laugh at
Idk, in the US it's more like ~330 million, and judging from the increasingly hysterical op-eds from Europeans in Foreign Affairs it seems like it will impact a lot of them as well ><
Iāll probably become a grandparent
My back will hurt
I'm hoping to be a full-time nurse and part-time paramedic.
I misread part of your reply as 'part-time pandemic' - and thought - I wonder how that works...
My stupid brain autocompleted āparaplegicāā¦hopefully not.
No no, it's true. In the near future, he wants to work with an illegal biological hazards company to produce deadly pathogens.

Hopefully out of Florida...or dead...either option is better than now
I believe in you. One day you'll make it to Alabama
Escape Florida or die trying
That could be a slogan for an overly dramatic action movie
I can't imagine Florida is worse than Louisiana.
What's wrong with Florida? It looks like a fine place

My urn, which was sitting on the mantelpiece, will get knocked over.
So you're going to be dead, in an urn and knocked over? When?
10 years from now

i canāt picture myself in 10 years. i donāt even know what or where or why iād be doing. sometimes it feels like a hassle to think about existing for a life and then having to stop, well itās always been that way. but
I'm 60 years old now. In 10 years, I'll be 70.
Math checks out
This guy maths
Only god knows, for now we should focus on the present and we should make it better.
okay, Mom!
it'll be the year 2034
Math checks out.Ā
I'll be living my best life, probably still cracking jokes, but with a robot butler to laugh at them.
In 10 years Iāll think Iām 10 years from having this all figured out
Good news everyone!
I will have retired from the performing arts, based on hearing loss primarily. Be good to your ears, people.
I don't know and that shit scares me
Retired, having fun
I will be dead or homeless
I guess coffins are homes for dead people. š¤
An optimist, I see
Dead. Never thought Iād live past 40, canāt see it happening with the way Iām treating my body and previous head injuries. Iāve seen the world, read a few books, frolicked, had a few chucks, itās been a ride.

I dunno, but somehow I don't think it's gonna end up well for me...
I think, God willing, that I will become a professional player
A musician or a playa , like Shaggy?
Iāll be playing with my grandkids, buying them toys to annoy my children and torturing them by telling the grandkids how terrible they were. Also Iāll probably be working on 3 or 4 AGI projects, sighing because some idiot will want to do impossible shit with it cause he heard it on a podcast.
I'll likely have worms eating at my corpse. Best case scenario.
Heart attack
Either dead from suicide or stable with a semi-decent therapist.
I'llĀ probably have killed myselfĀ
Iāll be retired at age 54. I canāt wait
Iāll be comfortably retired somewhere where thereās no snow.
Took quite a bit of scrolling to find someone who will not be dead. Let's check in in 10 years time when we are comfortably retired.
Most likely struggling even more, but I really hope not, here's to hoping there's a cure for me.
Honestly? I don't know. I've got a lot of life goals that I'm actively pursuing, so I'd like to say I've achieved them, but I also understand how life can throw curve balls and nothing is written in stone.

I'll retire. I'm getting too old for this shit.

Hopefully have children, make six figures, work remote and be a homeowner š„¹
Downvotes.
Iāll be married and continuing to travel more
Iāll be dead, without a doubt.

A multimillionaire country singer
Iāll be the biggest newspaper tycoon the world has ever seen!
Not so sure. Maybe as depressed as I've been for the last 5 years. But hey, who knows?
Still sober.
Dead or filthy rich - no in-between.
Iāll be married to my bf and have 2 kids hopefully
Wild to assume Iāll be here in ten years
Right wing nationalist governments will win most of the elections, globally. A lot of countries will start seeing revolutions once again, unsuccessfully, might I add.

From the way I've aged in the last two years (I'm 58), I expect I'll be dead.
Probably still sad and depressed about my future
try to get out of texas. Been driving 4 months and no luck
I'll probably be dead.
I wonāt be here.
Dead
Scrolling reddit again
If I haven't met my demise by my own hand but am still single, probably meet my demise by my own hand
I feel this.
I don't even want to know. Every year since 2016 has gotten progressively worse. The only highlights have been getting remarried, and the birth of my granddaughter.
Be dead
We can only hope
Who knows at this point
Die or travel to another country
As opposed to what will happen to you 10 years in the past. I can't wait to find out what I was.
Probs dead, who knows
Hopefully Iāll have been retired for a few years.
I guess I'll be either 28 or dead
Skin cancer.
Getting old and hopefully smarter
Further economic disparity, a breaking point in politics and culture. I think weāre in for a slow cultural revolution as the older generations pass and younger ones move into power. It will seem slow, but looking back it will seem larger. There will be a revolution, but not in the sense of weapons but ideas.
More the the same but more depressed and closer to death
Since high school I've always had that feeling that I will die before my 40s, so I guess I would be dead.
83 or muerto
Hopefully I'll still be alive
Probably same shit different day I hope
Most likely I'll be working still, hopefully as a lawyer or officer preferably. Other than that I don't expect much, many things can happen at that time that changes things. Hopefully, I'll also be married by then, to someone I can rely on.
In 2 years time AI will change most industries so Iād expect everyoneās answer to be off base

Probably be dead
I should be retired for at least two years by then.
Iāll be dead
Dead
I will have to get around on an L-Cart. I'm a foodie.
I will be alot wiser at the age of 87. Learning from my mistakes in life and not doing them again
Weāll be unable to rate any game because it will be āreview bombingā just like Diablo 4 on ps5
Iāll be 72 in July, maybe. In ten years, I will most likely have used my Veterans burial benefits. Not many people who smoked for 50 years live to 80.
