If you were a normie and were faced with the certainty of near death from illness, etc, how would you react?

I bet normies would be terrified and ask God to spare/save their life

I think technically i could be considered a normie since even though I'm pro choice I still do think life is generally a net positive. I would probably be crying, cry some more then be scared very scared then come to terms with it and accept my fate.

I'm probably a " normie' in the eyes of many here. I don't want to die, I won't repeat my reasons for being here again, I've told that many times..

In case of a deadly illness, depends on how far that illness has progressed. If there's no hope of recovery I wouldn't want a treatment which maybe would prolong my life with a few months. I'd rather spend the time I'm still feeling oke with loved ones, making memories.

If it's let's say 60/40 I would start treatment.

Will you ctb even though you'd like to live?

I've known 'normies' themselves react differently to death. Some seemed comfortable and ready for it. They'd lived a long, happy life but now they were older and having health issues. In fact, most of my elderly relatives were longing for death well before it came. My parents both want to live despite health issues, so they're more afraid and sad about it.

I can't really imagine being a 'normie'. I've had suicidal thougts since I was 10 and I was thinking about death since very early childhood- since close family members were dying or dead at that point. I almost felt like I grew up with death. Hard to know how I'd view it if I was happy. I may hate it actually. I do to some extent as a phenomenon. Obviously, we need to die. The earth can't sustain us all. Still, I hate the pain of grieving for people.

I'd say probably doing something dangerous or illegal, but at that point, I'd be to depressed or disabled to do anything. I'd also be even more bitter and cranky than I am.

Same, although the recovery tab is way chiller. I hope people realize fear of death is natural and inevitable. Sorry for having millenium old instincts totally out my control, lol! And sorry for thinking I have the power to help people with my life. Nihilism doesn't favor anyone.

If I had cancer I would stock up on lsd and or mushrooms and go out aldous Huxley style on a bed with my loved ones tripping balls and merging into the void fearlessly

 

[strangelife]

I am here because of the illness, my illness is not terminal, but makes life difficult and senseless, so I am here. So this is an answer

 

[corpsebridesmaid]

I'd say i'm a "normie" in comparison to most people on here. I can't go through with ctb, but i wouldn't stop it if something were to happen to me. Which is very similar to my case. I found a lump in my right breast a couple months ago, i've told 2 close friends but have refused to do anything about it. Even going to the lengths of lying about it being nothing to put their minds at ease. I think if my family ever found out i would go through with treatment, for them. But other than that i plan on doing nothing.

 

[wait.what]

I've never really been sure what normies do, but I think they go to work a lot. The more hours a week you work, the better a person you are. I feel sure someone awesome said that, but I can't think of who so I'll just put Morgan Freeman. He always seems cool. Also, the more hours you work the more money you get. Jeff Bezos works a billion hours a day and has so much money that he can go to heaven any time he wants, even if he's still alive. I think Gandhi said that one. Unless it was Darth Vader. Like I said, I don't really know much about normies.

Oh—I'd also look on the bright side a lot and focus on things I can control, like the fan that blows heat in my car. Every day during my commute, I'd turn the heat up and down, and I'd think, "Hey, that's ME turning this heater knob! I control the knob that controls the heat. I'm master of my destiny and captain of my soul. There's a stick in your eye, nihilism!"

Finally, I'd be mindful of stuff. Like what it feels like to sit in a chair, or suck on a raisin for 8 minutes, or have gender dysphoria, arthritis, and a broken ankle. Actually I really hate being mindful of shit but you pretty much have to do it when you're a normie. Henry VIII said that.

What kind of question is this? If I was a normie, I would react like a normie and be terrified that I'm going to die soon. However, since I'm not a normie, I will instead be glad that I'm going to die quicker by some illness

 

[tbroken]

Imo what you call normies, are more insane that someone with some mental illness or that just wants to die or does not fear death. How many normies marry and divorce, or pick a career and they just don't succeed or fake all their life?

 

[falling_snow]

Before being suicidal, I had a VERY strong connection with death. If you asked me when I was 14, I would probably say that I would accept my fate.

Bute if I were a normie, idk, maybe beg for my life?

 

[SilentSadness]

Probably live in denial until the end, as usual.

 

[Captive_Mind515]

This would be me walking out of the doctor's office, after getting the terminal diagnoses...

 

[pthnrdnojvsc]

I would suicide asap anyway because suicide can be quick and painless if done correctly , while something like cancer could torture u for years then torture u to death: see Brittany Maynard story and suicide. I think Brittany was a normie. She committed suicide rather than have brain cancer torture her to death.



The kind of torture described in this 5 minute video imo is what every sentient creature is under constant threat from. Not just from cancer but many other ways also. Why doesn't anyone talk about this and what is worth that kind of pain? Nothing imo

 

[Ligottian]

I'm no normie but it would certainly give me the last nudge to do the deed.

 

[Final_Choice]

Probably go through lots of different emotions and slowly grieve my life until I eventually accept my illness and the death it'll bring.
