How long do you think you could survive on a deserted island for?

This absolutely depends on conditions on the island.

As soon as I make a serious mistake like food poisoning or breaking a bone. I'm screwed without someone. Or if I'm just unfortunate enough to acquire an infection.
And this all assumes that I find what I need to survive in the first place.

I'm so dead.
I do not have the energy for this, I'm depressed as fuck, anxious as fuck, pre-diabetic (I think) and I would just feel so weak and crumble and die. My body starts shaking the moment I process the previous foods. I would probably think its a weird dream and try to "kill myself" to exit the dream.
Very Very Dead.
I have zero survival skills even if my depression gets magically cured.
Humans aren't meant to play this game solo.

Knowing how strong and smart I am I'm going to guess about three hours.

3 days unless I can rig a way to distill drinkable water and fuel the process indefinitely, then a few weeks until I starve unless I can figure out food too. Depends on how big the island is I guess: If there's enough to hunt, trap, and forage, I might actually be OK at least until I get sick or injured.

I've got rudimentary survival skills that could keep me alive in the wilderness on the NA continent. But in a resource-limited island, it would depend on what's available. Beyond that, this question is too open-ended to answer.

Unless the island is in the PNW and it just happens to be the beginning of berry season, pretty fucking poorly. Can assemble and maintain a fire, but would likely need a modern fire starter like a lighter, electric or otherwise. Can also build most basic shelters, but it would be uncomfortable AF, anything more advanced would be trial-and-error. Not well versed in hunting despite being at least moderately decent with a bow and arrow. My best option would be scrounging for fruit and hoping I don’t get hit with diarrhea.

Assuming it's like a small-ish tropical island and i'm the biggest predator around, with plenty of fruits and also a pond with fresh water and fish i can eat, i'd say i'll die in the middle of the first night from hypothermia because i can't tolerate cold.

I play Animal Crossing. My character has been going for 3 months as of yesterday. She has more clothes than people who live on the mainland, and a two-storey house with a basement and several rooms. She's paid off the racoon (or tanuki if you prefer) so she has no debt. As far as food, it sucks because AC is a vegan fantasy game in which meat and meat byproducts simply do not exist, but hey, the trees and crops grow every 3 days and put out more than enough food for me, the racoon/tanuki and his two nephews, his girlfriend, his ex-girlfriend and her sister, and the museum curator... oh and the ten villagers I have... to survive and thrive.
Oh, you mean a real deserted island? I couldn't. But I'm about to get off the computer and go cross some animals because they won't cross themselves! (I know that makes no sense, but neither does the name, which it's a play on. FWIW, the game's original Japanese name means something like "animals in the forest." The English name, I think, is a play on "Railroad Crossing," but it's still kind of nonsensical. Just like our reasons for playing this game...

I always have a lighter so I could make fire, I can forage and fish and trap if I have to, and I'm pretty good with bushcraft. I also usually have a couple cannabis seeds in one of those keychain style pill bottles so I'm in it for the long haul, I don't think I'd even want to get rescued

24 minutes, I'm not an island person. Need my land to be at least a peninsula, maybe a cape but no island.

If there is clean water and some food I can figure out how to harvest relatively easily then I like my odds.
Assuming it's not an Arctic island. Then I have until winter.
