How to stop being so afraid of death?

[Random__Lover]

I really want to ctb but for some reason death is something that scares me. How to stop being afraid of death?

I think that after death, we will eventually decompose into these, which in time will gather into something else. Perhaps even a new star. It's better to be a star and shine for those who want to live. Than to be a useless piece of meat (this is me to myself, you decide for yourself). This will take a lot of time. But a lot only by the standards of human life. In addition, given that the universe and time are infinite, then this will definitely happen.
Personally, this thought calms me a little. Hope this helps you too.
Sorry, Google Translate.

The way I see it, death is the true home. Your life taken form as you are taken out of the eternal void, and when you die, you come back there. It is where you originally came from, and also where you will eventually come back to. After you die, you'll no longer have to suffer. You'll not feel anything, not cause any problems, not gonna have to think or worry, ect. You'll just be put into an eternal sleep, peaceful and quiet just like how home truly is like. Hope this helps, and best wishes to you

I guess- think of how many billions of people have done it already. It will be a new experience for you but it's happening all around us in the world, every second. Plus- while CTB would obviously be a choice and bring it sooner- ultimately- it's something that's going to happen regardless. There's no way to stop it ultimately- whether you want it or not.

I've grown up with death- so many of my close family members died early on- so, I've thought about it for so long. I think that can help too- time. I don't mind the concept of it. It's the process that's frightening me, plus a few concerns about a possible afterlife- although, I'm hoping there will be nothing.

Is it being nothing that you feel frightened by? I guess I see it like sleep- but- without the waking up bit. Hopefully, there'll be nothing left of us to feel anything anymore.

If you are afraid of death you should postpone your suicide, live a risky life and hope that you die by an accident.

You can't do anything, bar accept that no matter how much you are scared of it, it will happen regardless one day. Death is a unknown that no one can talk about to ease ones mind.
Instead society creates a system of fear towards it, turning it into a selfish hatred of nature when it takes ones life away. No matter how that is.
Survival instinct is also a bitch, death is a path we all walk towards, over coming that fear won't be easy but it can be done

By realising that there is no escaping from death, we are destined for nowhere but to cease existing anyway.

But I only personally would ever fear this hellish world that is filled with endless risks and potential for harm, to me death is something so incredibly beautiful as I believe that we just cease existing with this existence finally forgotten about, in death there is no suffering because we are free from the burden that is existing, death solves what the true problem is which is life in itself, and to me life is something that is very bad and best avoided.
My disgust for existence means that automatically the thought of not existing and being free from this futile process where we are only destined to decay from age is so incredibly appealing and anyway without life there cannot be anything to fear.

Is it the process of dying or what comes next that you are afraid of ?

Imagine Death naked or wearing a funny dress

That's why this is so bad to have children , bring them from a peaceful place and now they will be scared of death.

what comes next, I don't believe in god or gods, but I grew up in a family whose religion condemns suicide, But I'm not afraid of death itself.

I like the thought of that idea. They are currently existing in another space in which we belonged before we were born and spawned into this hellish place.

I think it might have something to do with the survival instinct kicking in for non-religious people like myself.

Someone said that given how evil this reality is, isn't it too optimistic to expect peaceful non-existence after death. I can't stop thinking about this. But either way death is an imposition we can't escape, so we'll find out one way or another, maybe there are multiple circles of hell, but we'll just have to protest them all.

I was just telling someone this! If reality is so cruel and indifferent to our existence...why would death be any different for us? I hope that death will just be nothingness. No more counciousness, feeling or thinking, just like when you go to sleep....but my fears keep telling me that that's just wishful thinking (T_T) Concepts like reincarnation sound like a nightmare!

Everyone will die, sometime. I feel lucky that I will choose how and when.

I came from the earth, fed from it's resources and I am more then grateful to give back what I took. my corpse will feed an entire ecosystem, something bigger then me.
