Are u afraid of death?

[Peace2peace]

are u afraid of death

 

[LowLevelChimp]

I have no fear of death or the afterlife, I know my final destination.

 

[death_bed221]

In this life, the only thing that u shouldn't be afraid of is death

 

[Forever Sleep]

The process of it- dying- yes, I'm afraid of that. Most of the time, I think I'm nonchalant about death itself. I'm not entirely sure though. The unknown quality to it troubles me. I'm not 100% there's no God or afterlife. (I'd prefer there to be neither.)

Mostly, it's just a weird feeling. Like- I won't exist. But then, it's even weirder that I exist to begin with! Really though- that side if it, I tell myself, it's all fine. It was A-Ok when I wasn't born. That didn't bother me in the slightest. So, being dead will likely be the same. What have I really got to miss here? Unending chores.

 

[outrider567]

Not since she died, now not afraid at all

 

[diy-event]

Not afraid but would be happy to meet it with accompaniment. It makes it easier

I'm not afraid of Death. 1 nanosecond after this brain dies I cease to exist forever.

Non-existence forever is the only guarantee of never any extreme suffering , never any unbearable pain

I don't fear non-existence but want that very much

I only fear life and this world because these can cause unbearable pain

Only a living and conscious brain can cause extreme suffering and excruciating plain. Life is the only source of suffering ,problems ,and pain in the universe

Death is eternal non-existence non-existence forever

Permanent eternal non-existence Is the only perfection.

It's like thinking "omg i wasn't alive didn't exst in 1800 the horror. No I don't feel horror that I didn't exist for 13.8 billion years I feel horror I exist now as a brain that can suffer unbearable pain which is a nightmare .

Non-existence gets u out of that nightmare and the threat of extreme torture . So this to be feared? Boggles my mind most humans fear Imo the biggest gift we will all receive the gift of non-existence forever of never existing again

As of now 64% don't fear Death in this poll so this is an instinct? Not imo. Of course the fear of Death is much higher in the general population than here.and this is on here with all the imo false implanted beliefs of hell and an afterlife or reincarnation

 

[FuneralCry]

No, in fact it's the opposite for me, in this existence where there is all this endless cruelty and suffering permanently ceasing to exist is all I see as desirable, it's the only relief for me, I only hope to be unconscious for all eternity incapable of suffering and incapable of being harmed in any way, what I fear is existing in this horrific world where there is no limit as to how much agony one can feel just to be tortured by old age, existence truly is an abomination to me and it terrifies me how a human can exist for so long. I'd never wish to be enslaved in this reality and what is so cruel and painful is how suffering is seen as to force and prolong no matter what, human existence truly does feel like enslavement to me, I'd never wish for the burden of existing and I find it such a terrible tragedy how this existence was even imposed at all, I'd always prefer to cease existing than be conscious in this existence capable of suffering to unlimited extents just waiting to die anyway.

 

[mango000]

yes, but im far more afraid of being alive

 

[lavenderlilylies]

absolutely terrified of every aspect of it. the process of dying, whatever there is after death (an after life and non-existence are equally scary to me). that's not to say i want to live, being scared of death doesn't change the fact that i would prefer it over being alive

 

[TheHolySword]

I used to be. The only thing I'm scared of now is about the fate of my loved ones after I'm gone.

I like this..our heightened emotions aren't as big or important as we think.. being in this state of mind is what truly is.

 

[HereWeGo!]

Unfortunately I'm really afraid I'm going to Hell, which I think may be the consequence of a CTB.

 

[theshund]

I'm not but apparently my SI is. Managed to overcome it last Saturday but the attempt failed for various reasons. SI wasn't one of them. I was anxious, not gonna lie, but resolved and had no fear of what was to come. For me it's more a fear of body horror, like what I'll feel and how I'll change appearance. Blood turning brown on SN for example. Stupid because I won't know, but it's why I'd never use a violent method. The sight of my own blood? Forget it. But yeah, death doesnt scare me a fraction what life does.

 

[pulleditnearlyoff]

Not afraid of death, but a bit afraid of dying.

 

[Sutter]

Chime.

Maybe not remember a sense of the before, like fainting, waking with no concept of being, a logical view. I'm not here for me, had daughters and was my choice to have them, they weren't there for consent and came about for one of the best reasons I value in life. Sucks to be them but now that they are here, feel that the choice is theirs for how long they want to stay. Also, since I had made that fateful choice for them, I don't exactly get to wander off, if they want me around for whatever fleeting reason,…well that is part of the choice I made and I owe the ledger.

I'm the kid no parent wants to have, the one that defies for the sake of not giving an inch. Insane to some but there are times I've just said No, not having it. Death may be happy to see me, at the first, but five Dad jokes in and refusing to cross the river Styx and skipping pebbles waiting to be carried across, so as not to make my bottom sore on a hard bench and my feet dry, will begin what I imagine will be a….chore not counted on.

I'm aware my physical self is much the same as I am. It will not want to die, will pitch fits, and have a lot to say about the whole thing. Like myself though I know a kind hand and a moment starting a path that once in can not be hopped off, is the kindest concession I can make for a friend that was weathered the storm with me.

Afterlife,…there's many opinions there. Mine though is, whatever is there very quickly be it good or bad, will not want a whirlwind of never ending annoyance, and that soul will be separated and released in to a preserve of some sorts. A demon doesn't want forgiveness, an angel doesn't want to hear their breath stinks, and a God doesn't want a soul pissing at their feet. Virgins don't want a man that doesn't grow a love for them. A utopia doesn't want a dirty hanky. Even if it's nothing more than a sarcastic nemesis, would stuff flowers in his nose and make him fart butterflies. If there was a Nobel for being impossible with an afterlife, pretty sure I would be in the running.

Not a fuck you to other responses, really great ones here, just chiming in because well annoying and stubborn that way.

 

[harlow-paige]

i guess i'm more afraid of the process of death than the thing itself. unexistence deleting my consciousness feels like a calming concept but the process to get there is terrifying . i'm afraid of failing and making existing even worse for myself, afraid of making the decision and regretting it when it's too late.

 

[KillingPain267]

Yes, I'm afraid of the death process

 

[human909]

I am no longer afraid of death. I just look at death and see peace and reconnecting with your loved ones who passed away. Can't wait until I find peace.

 

[ijustwishtodie]

No. I'm afraid of the dying process but I'm not afraid of death itself

 

[PI3.14]

Yes, but I prefer it over my life.

 

[flwr]

i don't think i'm afraid of death, i'm more afraid of being wrong about what happens after

 

[Forveleth]

(See signature)

I am to the point in life where anything that comes after death is preferable to what hell I am experiencing in life, including actual hell. I am atheist so I believe when I die, I will cease to exist which brings me such relief that I can not wait to be dead.

 

[:)0=]

I'm afraid of reincarnation. :) :\

 

[ladylazarus4]

logically, absolutely not. but my instinctual monkey brain is scared. the thing is, I know that I (the essence of me, my true self) am not scared.

 

[DiegoJET]

I´m not afraid of death, I´m afraid of the process to achieve it

 

[LukaParrot]

I answered Kinda of....

If there is more to do on other side... i'm gonna scream... "Shit!!!!" .... and god will say to me "Hey... behave!".... me..... "Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit!".

Can you imagine if this just a simulation and when you die... you just wake up and have to work and live..... and this will cycle till something breaks?

What a nightmare......

 

[nomoredolor]

Not even a little bit, I only feel comfort when I think about death and dying

[Valhala]

This is a paradox. Death does not exist in life, when death occurs, life ends in this (or any?!) form. Therefore, fearing death in life means fearing something that does not exist during life.

 

[JesiBel]

I'm just afraid of the process (agonizing or very painful) Loneliness and despair...
