No, it's a part of living etc etc. I'm sure closer the time, I'll go "I wish I'd had more life" or something simmilar. But right now, no. I am afraid of the way in which I'll die, but not death itself.

I most certainly am. The thought of my own death or loved ones dying absolutely terrifies me. It might be inevitable that I will one day start pushing up daisies but that doesn't mean that I won't fight it in any way possible.

Na. For death is but a passing phase of Life;
A change of dress, a disrobing;
A birth into the unborn again;
A commencing where we ended;
A starting where we stopped to rest;
A crossroad of Eternity;
A giving up of something, to possess all things.
The end of the unreal, the beginning of the real.

Dying though, I am afraid of.

The end does not scare me as much as the road there.
I think you captured most of my feelings there. I'm not afraid of dying though. That is not on my list of rational or irrational fears. Clowns however....

I'm not scared of it. It happens to everyone and no one is the exception. Maybe when the times comes for it, I will be scared. I don't know, but I'm not right now. Also, it's just the way of life--you live and then you die. Of course I'm not going to look for death or anything because I have too much too look forward to, but it's not something that causes me fear when I think of my own death.

well that is one of then thing that i like about living is that you never know when you are going to die. so i accept that im going to die an move on, since life is not fun without some type of danger.

Not death itself, as i don't belive i would exist past dying, and thus i wouldn't even be able to care about beeing dead. Yet i wouldn't want to die untimely, due to the effect it would have on my friends and familly.

Dying on the other hand, is something i'd rather avoid, as i think it can be a sorrowful, unpleasent painfull ***** of an experience.

Nope.
Not in the stupid "I am brave herp derp" way.
I am not afraid of death because I don't have to fear it.
I do believe in afterlife, and I did not sin (that much) so I am not afraid of afterlife.
Many people are afraid of afterlife because it is unknown and people tend to be afraid of unknown, but for me it is more of a next chapter in the journey, if you will.

Its the human life cycle death doesn't mean the end. Sometimes I wonder if after death theres rebirth under a different name with no memories of their pass life

No but that mainly becuase of my beliefs make dying not something to fear just the next part. If you want me to give you proof or fight me on this please don't bother.

I am afraid of death, even though it is nothing I am afraid of. Death is nothingness, it is no longer existing at all. No thoughts, feelings, emotions, awareness. It is the end.

That's why I'm hoping SCIENCE! can one day extend our lives to the point of making us basically brains in jars that can experience a virtual world. We'd be basically immortal then, at least until the heat death of the universe.

Not really. It's simply a state of losing all your senses and faculties in which you perceive reality. When you can no longer feel, see, hear or think about your surroundings, what's to be afraid of? Nothing, because you won't even know it's happening. You will no longer have perception.

The fear of death, I think, ties into the natural instinct for self-preservation that all organisms share. What we have that other animals don't is the complexity of an evolved brain to process such a concept. We should use that perk to our advantage and think about what we can do to add value to our lives, so that we can be satisfied when the end comes. Make your mark on the world, accomplish much, then reflect on it and think to yourself: "It's been a good run."

Personally, I just don't want my death to be slow and painful.

Well it seems that quite a large proportion of my family members have died of cancer and none of them smoked and I'm assuming that it can be hereditary and dying of cancer sounds like it isn't exactly the easiest way out but I'm fine with the fact that one day I won't be alive.

I'd say I was more... morbidly curious?

I don't want my life to end, but I can accept that it must. I am far more interested in how it feels to die, having come to the conclusion that being dead is probably very much like before I was born.


I, oddly, don't want to die in my sleep. I want to know what is happening and, while I don't enjoy pain, would rather die conscious. I mean, I want some kick-arse last words!

Death... hard to say. Dying, no actually, apart from one thing I will be thinking about when it happens. That thing is STAYING dead, that part scares the fuck out of me. The idea of just... stopping, no breathing, no experiences, no taste, touch, sight smell or sound. An emptiness so blank I don't even know I am in it, To not perceive, that is the end, to not think about your experiences, to not have them, oh god, no. Dying is a painful problem, not a concern, not getting up afterwards, that there is what I truly fear. A lot.

I am afraid of the path to death. Disease, cancer, accident and other such things. But death itself is not all that scary.

IT seems a little useless to fear death. Though there is stuff I still haven't done (make a AAA game being the big one) in reality, when I die, that is it. No need to fear anything about it. I'm just not going out looking for it.

I don't fear dying, because I did what I wanted to do in life.
I tried to help other people and make their life better.
If I died right now in the most horrible way possible and there was nothing
after I would be happy, because I know for at least one moment in my life
I did something to make someone else's life better.
