What are some downsides to immortality that most don't think of?
What are some downsides to immortality that most don't think of?
I'll start off with one, Being upset about a breakup that happened hundreds of years ago.

Depends on the type of immorality. Do you continue to age? If no, what age do you stop? Eventually the universe will die. So what happens to you then?
It might be fun for a while. Maybe even a long while. But that fun will be gone in an instant compared to the trillions and trillions of years you will float in a dark dying universe of nothing.
Nothing forever will feel oh so fast when you lose any frame of reference.
Presumably you will advance along with humanity though, or failing that, just figure out the transcendence thing yourself with so much time?
I don't think anyone would choose to stay 'meatbag human' for trillions of years.
