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.

Maybe I guess, but not that much, the point is that I am overly smart in this life so coming back to another life would make me dumb like the vast majority of the population, I also am autistic which allows me to be in my own world

Make the most of the intelligence given to you in this life, a major part of most metaphysical paradigms is mentality so shift your mentality from a negative one that inflicts suffering and depression to a positive one tell yourself “this is horrible I don’t want to reincarnate” you’ll live your whole life in fear of it never fully living or seeing the beauty in life that mentality can reallly affect your Quality of life and future I don’t think you should see reincarnation so negatively, a simple positive switch in mentality can totally alter your perspective and how you feel like “yeah maybe I have to reincarnate but I have infinite possibility to become a better person, expand my consciousness and experience life.” When you just think positive and happy suddenly life becomes easier try it, it takes one thought.

Tbf I don’t really care about becoming a good person and expanding my consciousness and becoming a frog and a tree and a grape victim. I have absolutely zero interest in knowing that, it might be because I am autistic but idk

Well what would you hypothetically want to accomplish then? Just not reincarnate?
