discussion Are you afraid of death?

[Josh]

For me i used to be afraid of falling asleep and never waking up.

 

but now im very content with dying at any given time.

 

 

[Illuminati]

No, just the pain that comes before it

[ugo]

I'm sad that I will never get to see people who die again. 

[State of Grace.]

I'm afraid of the death of the people that I love, not mine. 

[Gorjesspazze9]

I await it

[CristianGarcia]

I think at 18 I stopped caring…. As long as it’s not slow and painful

[Bad Decisions]

I'm afraid of suffering. When I die, I want it to be quick and peaceful. I don't want to experience any pain.

[magazine]

No, bring it on!

[Saddy]

No but I hope it happens in my sleep. The best way to die

[theoghon]

Sometimes yes because I can't predict the circumstances - whether it'll be g*ry and violent or peaceful/in a hospital bed

[princedonte]

No I’m indifferent to it.

[kandicha]

Yes tbh, I just avoid thinking about it too much or dwelling on it.

[Tropez]

No. We’re all going to die. No point in being afraid of what will happen. What’s scary is how you’re going to die. 

[Bloodflowers.]

Yes, I want to see how world will evolve. But to waste this time on thinking about death is useless because you'll be dead forever anyways, so enjoy this short life while you can

[WildAmerican]

the concept of it is quite scary, but fixating on it doesn't really do anything, so it's just important to be thankful for the time we currently have.

[Born to Run]

Yes. I still have a purpose.

[Uncatena]

somewhat. sometimes i will randomly remember my own mortality and get really panicked and anxious, thinking about not existing anymore. but it’s also inevitable, and pretty much the only thing we ALL do. it gives life more urgency and purpose.

 

what’s actually scary is dying painfully and seeing the people you love die. i lost my uncle to cancer when i was 14 and he was quite young and it traumatized me. 

[Brooke Candy]

Yall SHOULD be scared, cuz yall will be burning in hell for eternity LMAO

[better than revenge]

I don't think about it much, but the fact that it often comes with physical suffering and is frequently unpredictable is scary. And where you will go next based on whether you were a good or bad human here. It's crazy to think that all of us will have to experience it one day

I’m scared of hell (if it exists)

When I was young I was scared of it, but then I kinda learned to accept it was a natural thing and that it happened to everyone and I guess now I’m less scared of it

This tbh. I'm not afraid of dying, I'm afraid I'll completely cease to exist. I don't want my consciousness to disappear. 

It is what it is though. Like you said, it's inevitable and it gives me a reason to enjoy life.

[illia]

I am more scared of what happens AFTER death. Heaven, hell, reincarnation, nothingness, something else? The whole uncertainty around it keeps racking my brains but I try not to think much about it.

[Zoe_]

Yes. It keeps me up at night sometimes.

exactly, like the post under your reply said, it’s the not knowing what comes after, and the likelihood that it’s just nothingness like before you were born, that is scary. dying itself is natural.

 

one thing i love about dying is the concept of becoming worm food. i just always loved the idea of me being nurtured by food and then becoming that nutrition for other life forms. makes me feel less sad about it.
