True Immortality has it's perks. You could roam the entire universe. However there is a high probability you'd go insane. I am willing to risk it. What would make me go insane anyway?

Travelling the endless space without the possibility of meeting anyone. Depending on who Earth finishes, you may not meet another person for years upon years. That would make anyone go crazy. Like Vandal Savage, he went insane in the future without anyone else there.

Nah. Assuming humanity is wiped out from something, I will just bring my collection of television shows, movies and comics to keep me company. Sure I will likely be one weird cat by the time I encounter someone else in the universe, but I will be an alien. I will be weird no matter what to them.

This planet might never get alien visitor. Global warming might take effect and you'd be on a planet of water. You could also freeze. And you wouldn't move at all. You could become brain damaged. Watch Misfits and see how it happened. An immortal became brain damaged...forever.

Watch Misfits and see how it happened. An immortal became brain damaged...forever. Freezing will be only temporary. To me it would either be like taking a nap or I could just be stuck there with my thoughts. Unlikely since I did not say I would have any kind of superhuman durability but I suppose I could heal from frozen while still frozen. Brain damage? Nope. Eventually heal from ANY injury.

You could be put in a grinder and you'd be in pain forever. You could be thrown into the sun or something similar. You die all the time.

The meat grinder would eventually grind away my consciousness, then once I am packaged for sale, I would eventually heal back from that. Besides, why the hell would someone throw me in a meat grinder that can somehow last forever? The star will eventually go nova, blowing me back out into space or turn into a black hole and eventually it will die and I will be free again. But during that entire time, I will not be conscious because I will have been compressed into a size smaller than an atom.

You could be locked in a thick metal cage with no way out. You'd be stuck in their forever. No game, comics, tv, people anything.

Nature would erode the box, I would eventually break out with force, or the sun will turn into a red giant in 4-5 billion years, melting the box and then cool to a white dwarf quickly after, allowing me to regain consciousness. Freedom!

Freedom! You'd be not right in the head at the point. And for all eternity, you'd not be the person who you were. And you'd only damage yourself if you try to break out.

You do realize this also isn't a movie, right? You, with your regular life, would now have these powers. Being immortal doesn't suddenly mean you have the resources to live the life you want

It also means you not aging is likely going to attract attention from friends and loved ones, and who knows what that will lead to.
You'll become a guinea pig, sir!

@supreme: That is like saying you should die now because you will not be the same person in 60 years that you are now. Which is actually true. Damaging myself is not a big deal because I regenerate. The box will not. Eventually, I would succeed.
@k4tz: Yeah but if I cannot die or remain injured, loan sharks are sooo much less intimidating. "If you do not pay me back my 100 Gs, I'll kill ya."
"Sounds good to me!" Yoink!

But scientists have said when a person doesn't have regular contact with people they can develop irregular emotions and tendencies. You'll be "immortal", and alone in this metal container for possible thousands of years. You'd be insane at this point. So it wouldn't matter if you were immortal. You wouldn't be the person you are now. Your character will change. etc.
