Warning: ITT, lots of nonresponse bias.

Life dissatisfaction guides people to type no;
neutrally satisfied folks will skip;
the relatively contented might type a “yes” or be offline.
With today’s historical context, there’s a bit of a skew, especially for those hanging out online o( ; ´ ﹏ `;)o

As for me, I’m excepted. I have decent dissatisfaction rather often, but arrogantly – I’d be born a million times, every time (unless you ask me at a bad moment).

Even at my worst, why do I not roll over and die? “I want to see how my story ends.”

No is not such a pleasant decision in this question, in order to answer this way you need to really feel or witness really bad things. Therefore, a large number of such answers says something…

To be able to make such choice implies that I already exist in some form.

And I’d probably be too afraid of non-existence to choose not being born.

Life sucks, but I also don’t want to “not-exist”. Its terrifying.

Can I just be a ghost floating around and just “chill” and observe? Perhaps in the company of other ghosts to talk to…

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

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