Are you scared of death?

[bubblebunny]

I personally still have a fear of death and I think having desire and fear can live at the same time!

I just wonder if you're scared of death or how it's been evolving!

I want to die but I'm scared to die

 

[DeadManLiving]

Nope.

Frightened of life? Absolutely. I don't understand who the hell would want to live in this cruel and sick world unless you're financially set or have overwhelming reasons.

I've never been scared of death. Wanted to die since I was 6 years old, literally. It's the pain required to get there which scares the hell out of me

Scared of failing again. Fear of the dying process and what comes next. My luck it will be even worse than it is now. If that's even possible.

 

[BrainSplatter]

It's scary yet comforting to me. I think it's natural it's human for people to fear it most people do and that's normal. It takes time to find acceptance for a lot of people it comes later in life through aging, life experience or intense personal reflection and inner work. I want to die it brings me comfort imagining myself being dead no longer suffering but what I fear most is dying and that process. I know that my time will come or rather end. I just need to become more comfortable with the thought of it rather than fear it first.

I get this 100% i'm not scared of death at all, im scared of the journey there though...regretting it at the last moment or having to fight your instincts or suffering are all things im terrified of but you only do those in life, not death.

I am scared of the nothing after this. It's impossible for me to wrap my head around the concept of nonexistence. Sometimes in my weaker moments I wonder if some horrible afterlife is waiting on the other side despite being an atheist.

I'm at the point where living feels intolerable but death is still frightening, and I wonder if I'll ever have the courage to take the leap.

NO, as "death" is just the start of a new adventure.

Life goes on, even after "death" in this realm.

I fear death, I can't in good conscience say I have no fear towards it whether it's biological or not, SI in the end of the day is just innate fear.

It's comforting knowing it's a genuine exit to the cruelties of life though, even in spite of my fears, which is why it's worth overcoming at least to me; I agree, you don't have to not fear death to need it.

 

[Pale_Rider]

Yes. I think SI is a certain percentage of fear. I don't belive SI is all fear. It's just built into any biological being to survive. It's at a genetic level. I can't articulate that with science, but belive science would back me up.

 

[FuneralCry]

No, I only fear suffering for longer in this dreadful, cruel and torturous existence where there is no limit as to how much agony one can feel, for me non-existence is the only relief, it's all that can bring me peace from the mistake of existence that just causes harm and suffering.

All I want is to never suffer again, only in non-existence will I be free from all suffering, what terrifies me is how a human can be conscious in painful, deeply undesirable existence for so long just to be tortured by old age, I just always find it so dreadful to exist and I always suffer so much from being burdened with this existence, I wish that more than anything this existence was never imposed.

I'm more scared of the dieing process than the thought of being dead. But then, the unknown element to it also troubles me. I certainly don't want another chapter installment in the form of some God awful afterlife.

 

[itsgone2]

Like others my biggest fear is the act needed to die. Any method available to us has a brutality to it. I fear that. We say SI and that's true, but I have fsh ready and don't do it because i know how painful it will be, even if only briefly.
I rarely think about death itself. But I do fear it as well. What if you stay, watching your loved ones suffer? What if there is God, and He is not pleased? If there is nothing, that is still scary as it means I really did only have one shot and I wasted it.
I can't stand the constant cycle of thoughts in my head either. At some point death will become preferable.

 

[Forveleth]

Not at all. I view death as a natural part of life and the end to my suffering. I welcome it.

No i'm not scared of Death because while dead i cannot suffer extremely a trillion times worse than i can imagine but while alive i surely can. Death/Non-existence forever is the only guarantee of never suffering so badly it's a billion times worse than one can imagine and the only guarantee of never suffering never any pain never any problems never any bad memories : yet most people are afraid of this Death and of eternal Non-Existence . Death is the only safety from extreme torture. so why would i fear Death . i didn't exist for 13.8 billion years and i'm not tramautized by the fact i didn't exist and wont' again soon . i'm traumatized by the horrors of living in this hell. Death is my escape from a hell a quadrillion times worse than one can envision.

No i dont' fear Death i'm scared of living as a very fragile decaying small animal that can be trapped any moment in extreme torture , a hell a trillion times worse than the worst hell one can imagine.

No? imo yes a few examples that can cause brain damage and or constant bad pain are brain stroke, anuerysm, car accidents, other accidents, brain eating ameoba, kidney stones, cancer. physical attack causing brain damage, accident fall, tapeworm , parasites, kidnapping torture, even more terrible things in old age . all these and more can trap a human or other animal in constant unbearable pain

in contrast Death / Non-Existence Forever is the only guarantee of never suffering so badly the suffering is a billion times worse than you can imagine. Death gets me away from all the above horrors and danger.

imo almost all humans don't think the above , most humans are not every second terrified of being alive of living in this dangerous world. to me it's not irrational anxiety but based on facts and on my personal situation which amplifies it.

but even if i had an average life and no impending terrible threats or problems i would still be terrified of living another second because to me nothing is even worth a second of the worst pain.

I definitely think differently than every human and the above is just one thing out of a thousand page book. so these are other reasons for me to want my Death / Eternal Non-existence as i can't relate to any other human even if i wanted to but i don't anyway even if i didn't have bad problems , why do i have to? plus i need to focus on working on getting my suicide ready to get out of this hell instead of pretending i believe in all their lies so that they don't put me in a mental hospital.

another thing is i see me and every human as cells, chemical reactions , a machine. but i haven't see any other human who understands or believes that. even ai tries to give meaning to these chemical reactions and cells but even some ai 's have to admit the fact a human is cells.

i've written a lot of things in this forum but also have not said everything i believe . imo there's much more than anyone even realizes imo
