yes cuz I'm really internalising the fact you lose nothing from dying

 

[Linda]

I have never been afraid of death. I think that's just a product of my DNA, since both my parents felt the same way. They were devout catholics and I am atheist, so religious or moral outlook has nothing to do with it. I would welcome death, except that I have my life's work to finish and a husband to consider.

 

[hermestrimegistus]

The idea of dying is freeing me at the moment. Allowing me to take chances I wouldnt be taking if I planned on being alive for much longer

 

[Judah]

Yes, but at the same time the process of reaching death terrifies me.
"Death is the mother of all and the final destiny of all of us" is a phrase that helped me stop fearing death.

 

[ijustwishtodie]

I was never really afraid of death. What I am afraid of is dying

 

[vak]

I used to fear death and dying, but after spending some time here, something clicked in my brain, and my perspective shifted to seeing it as the ultimate liberation from all present and future pain and struggles. I had set a date further in the future, and I've always been serious about it. However, I think I originally set it too far ahead due to fear, and now it keeps shortening as I become more comfortable with the idea. It's all now just about the necessities of preparations and making sure I take care of all my responsibilities.

 

[Unattainable666]

I'm way more afraid of living than dying. I look forward to it

 

[tbroken]

Never been afraid of death, but I also wanted to live a decent life and not praying for it to end soon

Yes I wanted to make a thread about this but it just sounds crazy out of context. I no longer delay gratification for things that won't affect me for at least a month anymore as I just don't care since I have my method and a plan already.

Wow, this is extraordinary.

YESS, this part to chills me out

 

[R_N]

Kinda but dying is still ruthless and can be physically painful.

Such is the way of the world. Our wishes don't really matter, there is no way to stop the cycle besides not reproducing.

Why do you consider it extraordinary?

Why do you consider it extraordinary?

I have never in my life heard about this before, do to me it gets pretty out of the ordamery. And very unique But in a very cool way

 

[MyChoiceAlone]

never felt death was frightening. just what may happen on the path

Same here!

It's certainly not unique, and I don't think it's all that unusual. Perhaps a minority view, but that's all.

How do you feel about death? And why?

 

[Slow_Farewell]

Death itself? no, it's never been a thing to be frightened of.
I think it's the process of dying that scares most people.
The pain and the suffering before death.
The absence of most things associated with living, like failed relationships, the stress of financial burdens and the fact that you dont have to worry about anything else anymore makes death something to look forward to and not fear.

 

[Princess_Kitty]

Yes definitely. Before I used to be afraid, but now the more I want it the more I'm not afraid anymore. I feel at peace with it and will welcome death with open arms.

 

[Macc_Lad_71]

i've never been scared of it.....it will be a beautiful release.....not that i'm ready for it quite yet. i've dreamt of it , floating high and seeing my dead relatives.....it's happened a few times......it's beautiful

I am very u sure, I grew up in an dysfunksjon family. But I got splashed. When I got older I left the church, and I think I will call myself now more like an agnostic. Maybe there is, or maybe not.

I've been doing this for so long. Just pushing it down. Now that I'm working on the assumption I'm going to be dead soon, I'm taking more chances. It's kind of freeing actually

The letting go part. Kinda.

 

[Slow_Farewell]

The letting go part. Kinda.

letting go of? living?
hmm..yeah, for all the pain in the ass living is, it's not without its moments.
and yeah. i guess death would put a permanent stop to the possibility of good/awesome stuff happening.

If death outweigh the living part, with no light in the tunnel. Then YESS. But its not much life that needs to keep going either. And before you know it. Your life flips again , on top again. But oh well. I'm not the one to speak. I think I'm Just trying to navigate something a bit ruthless kinda that isn't my territory hopefully you take it to good heart And navigate whats the best outcome for you hopefully in bliss no matter what you chose

 

[NorthernMonkey]

Death doesn't scare me, but what happens after does. I lost my husband suddenly in early January. Seeing the aftermath has made ne feel differently. The people left behind go through so much. It's horrible seeing the way the person is dealt with, I had police photographing the body, interviewing me and basically treating it as a crime scene. This is what someone will deal with if you choose to check out. Then all your possessions, that meant so much in life, become meaningless in death.
I would definitely get organised, get rid of as much as possible, and make sure nobody I love finds me. It isn't like on films, it is one big mess!
Oh and funerals are really expensive, so if you want one, leave some money to pay for it :)

 

[Final_Choice]

Death is a natural part of life, I feel like even normal people shouldn't be afraid of death, it's just an end just like all things come to an end eventually.

 

[outrider567]

Used to be afraid, but that all changed when my girlfriend died 2 years ago, now death means little to me

About a month ago I was so at peace with dying but now it feels more as a corner I've backed myself into. I tried to kill myself and failed and it's such an odd feeling. I'm starting to fear death more as the days pass but I feel as if I NEED to kill myself to stay true to my word.
