How do you guys cope knowing when you die, noyone will even care

[RainAndSadness]

You'll be forgotten in at least like 100 years anyway. Like, basically nobody will remember your name - for the rest of eternity. Unlike you're a brilliant scientist or a genocidal dictator. That's just how it is.

One thing I've always found interesting is (thanks to the Internet) learning about things and people who were famous many years ago that the average person today knows nothing at all about. I've read about items, people, fads and fashions, and so on that were known by nearly everyone in their time. At the time, huge! Totally gone now. It doesn't even have to be that long ago. I remember in the 90s there was a character on MTV named Kitschy Guy. Had a weird hippie kind of a look. I did an Online search, I can't find anything about him. If I asked 100 people, how many would know who I'm talking about? Imagine the nameless faceless masses. We're not alone in being unknown.

Like you wont be remembered at all, maybe ur family might but thats about it.

I don't give a fuck what society thinks about my death. My family and friends care and that is all that matters.

And even then, it's not like those people are around to know that they're still recognized anyway. Their bodies have just become bug food or ashes.

This isn't exactly correct. Each person contributes to the next generation until we liberate ourselves. So everyone in the past has upheld us as our servants. Even the people that lived in China 20,000 years ago help you get to where you are today, if not directly, indirectly. But yeah they don't have a legacy personally, but everyone from the past has contributed to some extent in helping us get to where we are today and that is a legacy.

Personally, I don't really care if I am forgotten (especially by the people I know) as I would be dead either way. If there is anything that I want after death (don't care too much about a funeral or anything of that sort really) is for some of my ideas, especially about the right to die, and arguments for right to die and arguments against pro life to be passed on (more for the benefit of our small community than myself).

 

[Dreamcolleger]

I don't care about this type of thing but I can see how it might be nagging if you genuinely have nobody in your life. Just remember that even people who do, even people who have many, very few if any will actually care. I've probably only got 1 family member that would really care, just don't worry about it.

 

[Jean Améry]

Honestly I don't worry about whether or not I'll be remembered: I'll be dead so beyond worry for good. People who bother themselves with these questions project themselves beyond the point of death which is nothing more than the destruction of the body (brain) and therefore the end of all feeling and cognition.

After you're dead nothing will matter anymore.

 

[peacefully31425]

I'm fine that no one outside my family will care. There is less guilt involved. I think my ex is the only person outside of my family who would even care. I feel sorry for my brothers the most. We aren't close but I have to imagine that it will be hard on them.

 

[color_me_gone]

Worrying about what others think of you has already made your life so miserable that you're gonna ctb, now you want to keep worrying about what they think even after you're dead, too?

Amen!

No one ever cared about me in the first place, makes no difference either way.

Yes!

 

[not-2-b-the-answer]

I'm totally fine with it. If my family wouldn't remember me either … that would be GREAT !!! No I am not kidding.

 

[SinisterKid]

No one ever promised me immortality, so its a none issue for me.

 

[Feline Fine]

I don't really want to be remembered, I don't want a funeral or anything like that.
I do want to do some good using my death since it's probably the only thing I'll ever do that could have any impact, and unfortunately that will mean drawing some attention to myself.
But at that point I won't be around to care.

 

[ScorpiusDragon]

doesn't matter to me. It'll be easier to go.

 

[Joannf]

Why would I care ?

If you want to do "some good," you're involved with mankind and want to be remembered.
You're just being obnoxious about it ;)
You're caring now...

 

[Soulless_Angel]

Not being remembered used to bother me, but realising now no one remembers me whilst I am alive, why should I care if I am remembered dead or alive!!! Lives move on, we have no say in how people react, how their minds work.
It depends if we leave something behind that leaves a mark in this work, like children, or changing a moment in history.

Fuck this, once I am dead who cares, 5 mins of fake Im so sorrys on facebook then nothing, meh, fuck em all! I won't care Ill be dead.I won't know

 

[Empty Smile]

I don't want to be remembered. There is nothing to remember me for. This is how it would go if I were given a funeral...

Preacher: Let's take a few moments to remember this man.

Brother: Uhhh...... Ummm... Well, I remember when he..... Uhhhhh.... Next.

Sister: Wait... I had another brother?

Other brother: He was a worthless piece of shit.

Yep, that about sums it up.

 

[Darkhaven]

How do i cope with it? That's exactly what i want for me ! Haha

I'm not sure I understand what you mean?

 

[Miserable]

I really like the idea of people finding out I'm dead and why. I know the vast majority won't care but I like to think that I will have an effect for a couple of days. And then I guess that's it. I mean I'll be dead anyway, so I'll just go on believing that its how it will be

 

[Charlielodge]

I know I will be missed deeply but life goes on, be another story within a few weeks..

 

[TimeToDie]

Nobody gives a flying fuck about me right now. At least when dead I won't exist to be disturbed by the fact that nobody gives a flying fuck.

 

[Mort]

I am a ghost in life and will be in death and no one ever sees a ghost well not properly any way .

That reminded me of Randee of the Redwoods. I forgot all about that guy.


Anyway, I'm not especially bothered. I'm never going to be famous, so most people don't know me now. My friends and family won't forget me, and I kind of wish they would. It would mean I'm not going to hurt anyone.

 

[CrushedHopes]

I know my family would miss me for sure. Especially if it's my mom. She won't be able to take it. But she also doesn't understand that the mistake I've made affects the rest of my life. I may not have committed any crimes, but my online reputation has been thoroughly ruined. Having my real name doxed just adds insult to injury. I hate being unable to continue doing the things I enjoy. Life has no meaning if I can't voice act nor do any creative processes (like writing, directing, sound mixing, etc.). Even if I don't go pro, being unable to do them even at an amateur level is 100% unbearable for me.

Who knows? Maybe the online community I used to be a part of would know of my death too. Perhaps it'll stir a rift. Or maybe it won't. Not that it matters, since I won't get to see what happens. Meh.

 

[not4us]

Like you wont be remembered at all

that's my goal, I would love that!

 

[dreamsofdestruction]

Well I can't cope with not having anyone close to me at all. Hence my presence here.

 

[cocodecomedy]

Honestly I like the idea of being forgotten; it's fitting. I also find the idea of my funeral hilarious because it would be so awkward with literally three people there and them having to make up achievements and good shit about me. Gallows humour I guess.

 

[Roberto]

That's the point. I would love that nobody cared. I wish it with all my heart. I would like to disappear without leaving any trace of memories in other minds.
I don't want tears, nor good words or words, just being forgot as I didn't ever existed.
I don't want to make anyone sad for two days or think about me.

 

[Notf1xable]

I think that eventually all of this won't exist and no one will be here to remember anyone. Eventually the sun will give out, and space will do what it does (I only know the little I've seen on science channels so I'm no expert). And I'd rather only my family and few close friends care or know, because I don't want to be used as a statistic to scare people. Maybe, if something is done to change the situation so no one would ever have to live what I went through. But other than that I don't want to be a news story or anything like that. Death is the great equalizer of all of us, one day none of this will exist anymore.
