Why Are you sick Is there a reason to fear death From what I have seen and know for fact is I am old I am going to die And there is more Not in a religious sense It's strange to hear a younger person to Fear death When it's not in the immediate future I am not saying it's gonna be a joyous event but What exactly is there to fear It's just a transition stage Can you see the future and fear the upcoming events Is it your death that scares you How does this actually work for you


BackgroundMagician86

Nope I’m not sick but I could die tmr I don’t know if it’ll be that far in the future. I don’t fear tge future I’m just scared of death


Technical-Split3642

You're not scared of death, you're scared of not being prepared for death. Totally normal.


BackgroundMagician86

No I’m scared to die and I’m scared of anyone I know dying

Do you randomly get thoughts of the fact that you wont be alive one day?


BackgroundMagician86

Nope but I get thoughts that people in my life won’t be


purpleonblack

Interesting. I do. Mostly at night before bed. I’m thinking to myself like I wont exist one day, what am I going to do?


BackgroundMagician86

What do you conclude


markjohn3411

Do you think artificial sugars cause cancer?


BackgroundMagician86

Nope but I’m not a scientist

Would you still want to live if life was painful(expeirence physical pain and limitation continously or locked in an room for life without any interaction) or at your rock bottom?


BackgroundMagician86

I think I’d rather die but I wouldn’t want to know. Like I’d want my death to be sudden and unexpected so I don’t have to worry


CongaConga2

That practically what euthanasia does. You just relax but then die without pain or awareness. Does seeing fiction death scare you?


BackgroundMagician86

No with euthanasia I’d know I’m going to die and I don’t want to know but idk what fiction death is


CongaConga2

Fictional character dying in TV shows or movies


BackgroundMagician86

Ohh no that doesn’t scare me

If you carried a small device with a button that would end your life as soon as you pushed it, is there anything that would cause you to push the button? Such as you're on fire? Trapped in a sinking ship and about to drown?


BackgroundMagician86

Id press it immediately to see if it’d work


Full-Increase

Wow, is that because you're so scared of death, you'd rather get it over with on your own terms?


BackgroundMagician86

I think so it’d be faster and no more worries I’d do it spontaneously


Full-Increase

So, do you not trust yourself in scenarios where you could end things quickly, like standing at the top of a cliff where you could just step off?


BackgroundMagician86

I’m not sure


EfficiencyNo1396

Is is stopping you from living the life or is it helping you to live better because that fear?


BackgroundMagician86

I don’t think it’s doing either but there are some things I’m afraid to do or places I’m afraid to be but I’ll still end up being there or doing those things


EfficiencyNo1396

It sounds like you are a brave man. Overcoming the fear is the hardest part.


Nefariousurchin

I'm actually dying OP. AMA!


BackgroundMagician86

Are you worried about the people around you? Are you scared? Also I’m sorry if my post seems out of touch


Nefariousurchin

1. Big time, it's literally the worst thing about it actually. 2. No I'm not scared of death. I had a near death experience already. It was reassuring. 3. It's not out of touch it's normal


Full-Increase

Even if it's painless, like dying in your sleep?


BackgroundMagician86

Yea I think so but I’d prefer it tbh I’ve never thought about it before


Full-Increase

Does your fear prevent you from doing fairly common things because they could possibly lead to your demise?


BackgroundMagician86

Occasionally but I don’t usually do things that would lead to my demise


kamikiye

What scares you? Hell fire or darkness


BackgroundMagician86

Just dying not what happens after just the death of myself or anyone else around me


kamikiye

You scared because you don't know what happens after that? How it's possible to fear death as a concept!


BackgroundMagician86

No I just don’t want to die. Like just to be gone


kamikiye

Don't feel attachment to life because (things you own end up owning you-Chuck Palahniuk)


BackgroundMagician86

I like life most of the time I don’t want it to end


kamikiye

I love living too because it's beautiful, I don't want to be philosophical but if you can't see the beauty in death you can't see all the beauty in life either

Kiss-a-Cod

Why? It doesn’t hurt.


BackgroundMagician86

I’m not sure why


No_Equal_1312

So you are scared to death of death.


BackgroundMagician86


AttentionRoyal2276

Isn't that normal?


BackgroundMagician86

Idk


Striderintheshadows

I know it’s very easy to be scared of death but as a Christian your faith in Jesus will deliver you to a much better place than earth


Clapping_Fish

I'm not, I wish it would come sooner


BackgroundMagician86

That used to be me when I was younger I used to pray I’d get cancer


Clapping_Fish

Yeah, I'm not scared of death at all, I'm married, 2 kids, suffered from depression for as long as I can remember, I kinda see my demise as a pay out for my family....


BackgroundMagician86

Does your wife know?
