Discussion Is it normal not to want anyone to touch your corpse?

[stupidpuppharething]

I want to die, but the thought of someone touching, examining, and investigating my body makes me feel sick. Like, I don't want anyone to see my body
in fact, I don't even know if I'd want a funeral or a memorial. I just want to be forgotten forever. I think one thing I would really like would be to die in the middle of the forest so no one would find me, and my body would decompose and be slowly reclaimed by nature. I don't even know exactly why this matters so much to me it's not like it'll matter at all once I'm dead. Is this a normal feeling?

many people do have a preference in how they hope their body to be handled after they die. i think it's normal to feel uneasy about things being out of your control.

Me too but I try to find some comfort in thinking that this body isn't me anymore once I'm gone (not sure if it ever was me in any meaningful way lol), I mean ideally I would want the same as you but is really unlike to happen like that for most people

Idk, I hate the idea of anyone seeing me. My note says no funeral or memorial, no burial, and no obituary.
