Death-- you ever feel scared of it?

Post Reply New Topic

Well, because you might get a real sexy girlfriend at age 26, like I did. Or age 39, also like I did.

And because of laughter (even though frankly I haven't really laughed in a while, back living with my parents last couple of years, difficult situation, feel trapped), and making the world a better place.

Okay, here's some of my favorites:

H1N1 (swine) Flu Self-Assessment

for any kind of flu, if you start having trouble breathing, get some damn help. That's the bright line test. Well, why don't they say this on the news. One, they're not really that interested in their topic. and then of course they're so tame and timid and so into popularity and looking and sounding "professional" and play it safe, there's a lot of things they don't do. Go ahead, lay it on the table! Right, wrong, indifferent, at least it's something we can ping-pong off of. (although I kind of like Dr. Sanjay Gupta, although he should definitely not be the only medical professional on CNN or even the primary one. And sometimes, just show regular people)

H&R Block, bank products, cross-collection, unethical wo

Oh, this one felt good. This one was fighting the power. Because they actively discourage their employees from informing their clients, yes, that one, that's why: unethical company. And that feels good to say.


And because I got to attend a Shadowlane spanking party at age 44. Yes, it's probably pretty much like you expect. Be advised, the website, which arguable used to be NC-17 is now solidly X, and no I certainly will not provide a link. Actually, it was kind of overwhelming, and kind of timewarped me back to high school dances where you're so worried about doing it right that you kind of forget to enjoy it, but in rather a good way, hard to explain. So, not only am I an out-of-the-closet atheist/agonist, in my own half-assed way. I'm also an out-of-the-closet spanker. This one is more embarrassing!

Your parents must have been so proud when your first words were "god is dead"

(it's a joke people )

I'm not particularly afraid of dying. The only thing that would make my death exceptionally horrible is a long, drawn out, process of dying. Since I know that I will simply cease to exist at my death I will not notice that I am dead, meaning that I have nothing to fear.

I fear death more than anything in this world. I feel as though I'm being pushed towards the exit door against my will.
Had I some kind of faith in the afterlife it might have been easier to handle, but I don't. I cannot make myself believe and I never have. It's just not in my nature. :/ Death should die.

No, I'm not afraid of death. Life strikes me as far more frightening than death. Life is rife with pain disappointment, heartache and frustration. Moreover, life is rife with uncertainty, and one never knows what setbacks, tragedies or disasters may be lurking around the corner. Once death comes, all of that is over.
I'm not afraid of death. I am however, afraid of life.
I feel the need to include a disclaimer here: I have no plans to take my life. To an extent, I face my fear of life on a daily basis, and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. However, when my time comes, I'm not likely to put up much of a fight.

I'm afraid of dying before I've accomplished anything.

the fact of the matter is, people live under different circumstances and it is foolish (sorry if that offends you, not tryin to start a debate either) to think that anyone else will think like you do. We're aspies and we go through it all the time when people think we should behave/think a certain way because they do. This is how NT's bring me down all the time, they expecting too much from me when I face different circumstances and challenges and act/think differently because of this. This is why (and once again I'm not trying to offend you and start an argument) others are afraid of death: Because they are not you.

I have never really been afraid of death.

when potentially lethally sick on vacation as a teenager, I got asked "This is serious, you don't want to die here do you?" I looked around for a second and said, "why not? I like it here".

At the time it was my surprise at the question, but now if my time is coming I just hope I can get back to die somewhere I feel happy.

I want to be frozen and sectioned, with one piece shot into the low atmosphere each year. The theory is that it will burn up and look like a shooting star. Although i suspect this is not what you were thinking of

I have no fear of death. Many times I feel like I should already be dead. My body has been a disaster at some points in my life where I really wonder why it didn't give out... Although I'm okay now after a few surgeries.

I don't fear death because I don't feel it's the end... but if it is... how would I know if I die and it is the end?

However I'm curious as to how I would react to a gun being aimed at my head point blank. I suspect I'd remain cold and fearless, but I guess I can't be sure since I've never been in that situation

Haha I guess the sad part is that if the person holding the gun to my head is staring me in the eyes I would be scared

Those who have seen it may have been experiencing a whole different thing. When the brain goes through an extreme situation of shock, it begins to hallucinate. You can complete be unconscious, "dead", but the truth is you're only experiencing a hallucination.

So I agree, do not give out information if there is no proof to it.


To answer the OP: I am not afraid to die. Its just a natural part of life.

No, I don't have that phobia you describe, OP. Any fears I had (other than the natural fear of getting hurt and suffering) were dissipated when I had a very profound dream a few years ago. I floated out of my body and then out the window and I kept going up until I saw another place, sort of like an island or a shore....words fail. There was a sublime sort of singing that seemed to be coming from inside me - like from my center. And at the edge I saw some of my relatives who had passed on. The singing became stronger when I saw them and I went toward them, so happy. I got closer and closer and then something held me back and didn't let me get to them. I started going back to my body and when I got there I got up and cried. I was depressed for about a week afterward. I knew that had I been able to get to them my body would have died and I was so disappointed that I had had to come back. It was beautiful and I saw nothing to fear. For me, this is the worse of the two places.

Even the most beautiful images and music I've ever heard is only a dim approximation of what I experienced there.

I'm not scared of getting old and dying. It's just that I'm not ready to die yet.

i used to be, kinda..but now im looking forward to it. definitely doesn't mean i'm not keepin on keepin on, but this life really sucks - plain and simple. fighting a constant disadvantage in society seems like such a sh***y and insignificant reason to live to me... there's gotta be some other way, there's just f***ing gotta be.

I'm not really afraid of death, but what really scares me is dying in an incredibly painful way or even worse getting in a horribly disfiguring accident & then not being able to die. That is much worse than death. I already have issues with self-esteem, if anything like that ever happened to me don't think I could go on. Now this really isn't a phobia, but it is in the back of my mind from time to time. A lot of people are probably afraid of this, but don't really like to talk about it.

No, I'm not scared of death. I've been dead before. I was dead for billions of years before I was alive.

When I die I will just be the way I was for those billions of years.

Not scared of death (agnostic atheist, although that is irrelevant.) Moderately scared of the 'dying' process.
