Am I even making decisions on my own or was I always destined to do certain things due to my genetics and environment?
The more blackpilled I become, the more I question if free will is even a thing
Thinking about it makes me mad

Its kinda like a RPG game. You think you are in control and think you can make your own descisions, but the outcome will always be the same, no matter which dialogue/option you choose
Your free will is only confined to trivial things like - whether you'd like to cope with binging an anime or playing a game tonight
I also stopped believing in free will...
why give us options then ?? Makes things more brootal
Yeah that sounds about right, you have control of the small actions you take throughout the day but your overall life is confined to your genetics and environment
What determines the fate of mankind in this world? The law, or some invisible being like the hand of God hovering over the world? At least, the truth is that man has no control even over his will. © Berserk Anime 1997
The illusion of choice
I think it's mostly this.
I want to say that you can actually change fate with considerable effort, but you would need to have the right genes to have that much willpower in the first place. The people who seem to change destiny were already fated to do so.
brootal...
Good genes grant you the opportunity to change your fate
You have free will in the sense that you can choose to jump off a building or in front of a car. You only have the free will to end it all, everything else is predetermined.
If you agree that the will is sometimes not free and these instances are not by our own choice (e.g. getting into a coma by some freak accident, such as being struck by lightning), then that necessarily means that there is no free will (it implies that we cannot choose when our will is free and when it is not free, which is a lack of free will). I do not think that anyone will deny that this is possible.
There are so many other sound arguments against free will and so few for free will. You don't even need to take as axiomatic anything for most arguments against free will; meanwhile, the assumptions you need to make for free will are endless.

Even that is probably determined by your genes
We are all just puppets being controlled by our genes and the way the world reacts to us because of our genes
Even that is determined by your genes
Some people might be too high inhib to commit suicide
this is honestly brutal. It's freeing in the sense that your life's outcome wasn't truly caused by YOU, but rather your poor genetics and/or environment. But it also makes me feel like a robot, as if any decision I've ever made wasn't truly mine. If I choose to rot on this forum, or play vidya, a prior cause effects what I choose. And it all happens before we make a conscious choice, so the free will is just an illusion in our brain
We can only make minor decisions like what to eat and what music to listen to
Never was..
The most important things in life are determined before you are born. Genetics, parents, class, location, race, and so on.
Yeah best analogy. The results are determined. The path is up to us. So its illusory freedom
If you choose not to decide
You still.have/made a choice!

The only difference is that you can't restart if you lose.
