    Others have already answered this well, but I’ll repeat it anyway: No.

    Even if my life currently is not bad, there are and have been bad times. Not existing is never bad. So no.

      Not existing is neither bad nor good, existence is the experience of both good and bad things. Don’t only focus on the bad ones.

      This was my immediate thought also, whatever part of me that is making the decision already exists so this is the same question as “would you want to stop existing now?” the answer to which is an emphatic “no.” I’d exist indefinitely given the choice.

      Non-existence isn’t scary, scary thing is losing your existence.

          Same thing that happened before. You were fine with not existing before hand.

    I mean, the universe is just an experiment in experience. Even with the bullshit, it’s better to have been than to never have been

    Yes. If I’m actually some kind of cosmic being that can choose to be born yes, I am taking that pill. I’m taking all the experience pills.

    I think I would have preferred to just manifest as a being of energy that could take corporal form at will.

    Would have been a lot easier on my mum.

          Just because things haven’t been great so far doesn’t mean they won’t be better in the future. I hope you are able to improve your life into something you want to experience.
