What are some downsides to immortality that most don't think of? (lemmy.ml)

I'll start off with one, Being upset about a breakup that happened hundreds of years ago.

Edit 1:

Heath death of the universe, Death of the sun, etc, does not count. I feel like focusing on this is an overused point.

Edit 2:

Loneliness does not count. I feel like we all know immortality means you'll miss people and lose them.

Unless you have a lot of money to rely on I don't even know if it's reliably possible right now. You're basically in the same situation as an undocumented immigrant.

And the more times you do it, it's like playing a Russian roulette over and over again, you'll eventually be caught.
