Maybe I'll have kids one day so I'll want to stick around longer for them or wtv. But at the moment, I can't imagine living to be over 75 years old. I use to be depressed. What do you think? Is it a sign I'm still very slightly depressed, or is it weird but natural to not want to be around too long ?

I never thought like this, but I was married once, 1 child and grandkids...and I'm 79 soon. I have a hard time imagining 90something. Are you fairly young and healthy?
When you're young you think youth is everything. When you get older your perspective will change and some of those things that you think are so important now will seem silly in comparison to what you will feel is meaningful later on.
I don't feel you're as depressed as you are a little scared of the "unknown". But hey, that's what life is. One big surprise after another.
My plan is to take matters into my own hands in my mid eighties if nature doesn't step in. How many folks do you know that are actually enjoying life beyond their mid 80s? Not too many. So I've always believed it's better to end it before you are no longer independent. Once others start making decisions for you it tends to be too late.

My dad is 93, sitting in an assisted living community, in a wheelchair, no use of his left arm. Every day he says, "I hope today is the day I have a heart attack". He is not depressed. He engages with everyone around him, watches his ball games, still eats like a horse and his thinking is as clear as it ever was. He still has his sense of humor. But, he will tell anyone, "there comes a time when you're just ready to go, I'm just waiting no to die". I don't think that is unusual. And if I could help him along without going to jail I most certainly would. But I don't plan to allow myself to end up in the same predicament.
Get into your late 60's with physical infirmaries that make walking around almost impossible and it takes 10 minutes to wash a stinking dish.
It's even easier then.
Your priority is to somehow die before you wind up in a nursing home.
