Discussion [Poll] Are you afraid of death?

[UninformedLover]

Just curious. I'm really afraid. It's probably just the fact of not knowing what happens after you die. Death is just so permanent it would suck if there's nothing after that.

 

[ma0]

Ehhhhhh, sort of? I'm not afraid of death in the typical sense, I'm actually really eager to experience utter nothingness, but the finality of it is messing with my subconscious, I guess :/

 

[divinemistress36]

Only the pain during the dying process not actual death

 

[Nobody'sHero]

Hell no, death can come catch these hands...

 

[Michi_Violeta]

I used to race an old turbocharged death-trap, both on the track and on the street, that would've crumbled like a soda can with any impact over 40 km/h. Just for fun. Fear was only an instant before the rush of adrenaline kicked in and made me enjoy cheating death each time I went full throttle. Death was always one mistake away, but I was almost always in control.

I'm afraid of hurting the ones I love, I'm afraid of texting a 50kg woman I used to hold in my arms, I'm afraid of life becoming an endless cycle of trauma and recovery. Now that scares me in a way not even driving a Top Fuel dragster could...

I'll never be afraid of my Death

1 micro second after my brain dies then i will cease to exist forever . That means there is no chance of me feeling any unbearable pain or extreme suffering ever, no problems no bad memories , never to be a slave or prisoner . why is that to be feared?

to me eternal non-existence is the ultimate bliss.non-existence forever is the only guarantee of never suffering extremely

Death = After the brain dies it's non-existence forever

it's going to happen anyway . every human will die . everything breaks down , goes to disorder , dies, even the stars and black holes and protons will die decay .

Everything in the universe will die , everything keeps going to equilibrium. all animals die. all machines break . everything needs a constant power source to keep functioning .

Even a room or house becomes disordered without constant cleaning.

The expansion of the universe is acellerating. the universe will expand to nothingness and will die

The Beginning to the End of the Universe: A cold, lonely death

Everything — from creatures to stars to black holes — will eventually decay into nothingness.

Each system goes to disorder . that's the law of Entropy and can be observed every time a hot coffee cools in a cool room

what the most powerful law in the universe says is any organization is temporary including life or this viewpoint created by the brain. i'm just cells , a bug, a brain , brain cells , a machine who thinks i'm at the center of the universe but i'm just a temporary machine a temporary bag of cells a temporary bug like any other insignificant fly or lizard

I'm afraid of pain, not death. If it were still possible to get N, that would be the dream.

 

[ramon]

Actually, the fear of failing to CTB and becoming physically/mentally disabled.

 

[catfriend]

more accurate to say i'm afraid of the dying part.

in the near future, i will be staring down the 'barrel' of a cup of liquid that will almost certainly end my life, if consumed. suppose then that i overcome SI and gulp it down... now, i'm in for probably 10-15 minutes of consciousness, probably feeling the most distressed that a human can feel, knowing i will almost certainly die without medical attention.

will my life flash before my eyes? will i think of my parents? their faces when they find out? will i be filled with enormous regret, knowing that i can do nothing except throw up and hope that's enough? meanwhile, my heart's beating a mile a minute.

that's what i'm afraid of: the possibility of second-guessing everything in my final moments on planet earth, before the inevitable end. that brief but terrifying period between initiating the act, and its probable outcome: death. and the eternal peace beyond it.

 

[FoxSauce]

Yes and im ashamed of it. I cant even cbt cuz im afraid of what comes after that.

Ik im a coward

 

[SilentSadness]

Not at all, when I die I will reach my dream reality of pleasure and adventure.

 

[ForeverCaHa]

Not afraid of death, slightly afraid of dying

 

[JobuLio111m]

I have more anxiety how it would affect other people after i die. but i rationalise any fear away of being dead wth the fact that i wont have the ability to ever experience it, so to my brain it never has to worry about being dead.

 

[bananaolympus]

No i am not scared death itself no maybe the process if i were dying from an illness or something not cbt related

 

[Malfunction]

Not afraid of death. More afraid of any suffering leading to it.

 

[FishRain3469]

I am absolutely Fckn terrified with everything about it. =/ Putting the barrel to my head, what happens after, trauma to family/ friends.. The list goes on. Fml.

 

[Forever Sleep]

I'm afraid of dying more than death itself although I agree, the unknown element to it makes it daunting.

 

[bubblecat]

My beliefs about consciousness actually make me optimistic about death itself. But I fear any pain/suffering preceding, and leaving my cat behind. I've had medical issues and emergencies that I think I could have died from or came close where survival instinct kicked in hard in the past several years.

 

[The_screaming_dawn]

The only worry about my death I have is that I think I'll end up in some version of hell. I've been plagued with sleep paralysis entities for years and I'm pretty sure theyre trying to drag me with em but, whatever I guess

 

[Sad German lady]

I'm not sure. But I'm more afraid of living than of dying. My main fear is that something might go wrong, like being discovered too early and maybe being disabled for the rest of my miserable life

 

[Mary Janex]

No, not anymore.

 

[ItHurts]

Not due to natural causes, health issues or an accident - no. But from suicide, yes. I don't want to kill myself, I am afraid, but life has been really tough that I wish for a natural death everyday.

 

[daysfeel]

I'm afraid of being in excruciating pain. But death itself, no.

 

[JesiBel]

No.. Death is the calm and relief from so much misfortune and suffering. It is salvation from this dreadful world in which we find ourselves. The escape from this prison.

 

[Lazy]

I don't fear death itself, rather the pictur of my mother crying or my family falling appart because of me

 

[DivineSpark]

Only the pain during the dying process not actual death

Yes, I dont fear death itself, but pain and suffering.

 

[FuneralCry]

No, never as to not exist is all I hope and wish for, I believe death to be nothing more than an eternal dreamless sleep which is the only peace for me, in this torturous existence that was so tragically imposed I only see non-existence as positive and it's all I hope for, for me only being permanently unconscious and unable to suffer for all eternity is all I see as desirable, existence to me is an abomination and I'd just never wish to suffer in this existence.

To me existence feels like a mistake and what terrifies me is how a human can suffer for so long just to die in agony from old age with no limit as to how much they can be tortured and I suffer so much from being enslaved in this horrific reality where the suffering of human existence is seen as to force and prolong no matter what. It's just so painful and it brings me so much pain how I cannot just have an guaranteed peaceful death like falling into an eternal dreamless sleep as to never wake ever again is all I hope for, I wish for no more pain and no more suffering, non-existence for me is all that's ideal, it's the only desirable state for me, I only fear this existence that just causes all this harm and suffering torturing existing beings.

 

[Gustav Hartmann]

I am neither afraid of the process of dying nor of the state of beeing dead. On the one hand I am afraid to miss something interesting on the other hand I am afraid to miss the last chance to kill myself.

 

[UglyLife82]

Yes. My fear is the only thing keeping me in this worthless existence

 

[Prism]

No matter how I try to reason with myself I still feel afraid. I don't know what to do anymore. I wish I had benzos
