The Downsides of Immortality

Outliving one's money should be #1, unless one is wealthy enough to live forever.

None of these come close to the actual downsides of immortality. These examples all occur within the first couple hundred years of an immortal life that's otherwise extremely similar to the life you already know today.

The real downsides occur thousands, millions, or billions of years later:

You will spend thousands upon thousands of years as the only living human on the planet.

You will spend millions of years as the only living organism in an otherwise entirely uninhabitable solar system.

In billions of years, you will survive the inevitable eventual collapse of our galaxy into its black hole.

The most brutal curse is wishing that someone will live forever.

I'm pretty sure this was supposed to be funny.
