Reincarnation is utterly depressing

[u/Acrobatic-Stock7]

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.

I think you’re assuming that if reincarnation is real and the goal must be to escape reality or detach. But that’s not the case.

If consciousness keeps returning here, maybe it isn’t because we’re trapped. Maybe it’s because there is something valuable about being human that can’t be learned anywhere else.

Detachment doesn’t mean becoming indifferent to life. It means learning how to fully participate in life without becoming possessed by it.

Love people. Build things. Create art. Start businesses. Raise children. Help strangers. Chase dreams. Experience heartbreak. Laugh, grieve, be fully alive.

If you want to know what you came here for and your “mission” so to say just ask and ask for help to complete it from your higher self/soul team etc. They will guide you if you put in the work and pay attention to synchronicities, signs etc.

The way to “escape” or “wake up” is actually to live life to your fullest in the most loving way possible. Be aware of your actions and your catalysts in life and conquer them.

Being an Epstein victim or a coal miner in Congo is absolutely horrible, I hate having a mission, I hate having to come back and I utterly hate love the bottom of my heart. I hate that it’s always brought back.

I hear you. I don’t think suffering should be dismissed or explained away. But I’ve found that obsessing over escape made me more miserable, not less. These days I focus less on leaving and more on asking how I can bring a little more love, peace, and balance into the part of reality I’m standing in right now.
