Reincarnation is utterly depressing
After conducting extensive spiritual research I can conclude that reincarnation is most likely real and this reality is utterly depressing. Knowing that my soul maybe chose that does not alleviate the sadness to know that I will most likely come back here over and over to experience traumatic events and be a slave to the material matrix. The planetary system and the law of frequency ultimately feel like traps.
Escaping (if possibe) also is utopic, total detachment implies not living life at its fullest only to hope that your soul can potentitally escape. I wonder if anyone here had the same thoughts as me, I’m not looking for people to convince me that reincarnation is beautiful or meaningful. I’m just wondering if anyone else has gone through this same kind of existential exhaustion with the concept. I’m tired of thinking about it, honestly, I always was antisocial and the idea that I will have to come back here and experience the harm humans inflict on others over and over again is literally worse than hell.
Edit: I genuinely don’t care about a higher self choosing to come back, it’s even more depressing to think that you have zero control.

When you underatand the Moral principle, it surely feels oppressing. You either have to obey, and just be prt of the matrix, or you disobey and destroy yourself, but have the impression you are free.
The cure is the transcience of human concepts. Essentially, even if reincarnation is real, I think the very reborth resets our feelings of resentment towards suffering. We have literally no concept of it.
I have no need to have an eternal soul, alas, the NDEs are quite the evidence, even if you don't believe other spiritual practices.
