I’m afraid of being in pain when I die. I’m afraid of having a long, lingering death that leaves my partner no money and having to watch me die slowly by inches. I’m afraid of losing my faculties and becoming a burden to my partner.
But being dead? If I could be assured that I’d just go to sleep and not wake up or that it would be something sudden and fast and not painful? I’m fine with that.
(Note, I’m not in the least suicidal and I’d prefer that this death happens at least another 20 or so years from now and that I was still in reasonable mental and physical health until then.)
I’ll be 77 in a month and a half. I’m a disabled veteran who saw combat in Vietnam. I’m not the least bit afraid of dying. It would be great if I could just go to bed one night and pass away but nothing else in my life has worked out that well so I doubt dying will either.
No but I am tormented by the thought of leaving loved ones behind. I pray those people who had ndes and said that they did not want to come back were right. There has to be another side. If there is mercy there has to be.
God no. Im ready. I’d never kill myself because the damage that would cause to others gives me pause. But if i got hit by a bus tomorrow i wouldn’t be all that miffed about it.
I survived a near-death experience in 2019 and became permanently disabled. I wish I had died at least a few times a week.
The only reason I haven’t taken myself out since then is the fact that me almost dying seriously fucked up my mom and my sisters. I now understand that it’d kinda sorta crush them and be a completely cunty move on my part
Nah. Been there and with all sincerity its not even consciousness for me. Pain was dulled by adrenaline, never had an acceptance phase, no memories from how i felt before darkness.
To be honest i was terrified before, now 0 fear.
Now car accidents in general I fear. Just not actual death.
Nope. You can’t avoid it. You can delay it, but everyone dies eventually. Accept that it’s a part of life, hope you go out peacefully, and cherish the time you have. Whatever happens next, happens.
Yes, but also no. Not knowing how eternity will be gives me existential dread, but knowing that once I’m dead I won’t care about what happens after I die gets me back to feeling mostly normal. Weird kind of mental state.
Yes. Because I don’t know to handle the imagination that I will lose my inner Voice and self awareness. I think after death there is no blackness just absolutely nothingness. And I can’t imagine nothingness. That is what scares me.
Of course! I think everyone who hasn’t found their calling is on some level.
Does it affect my day to day? Absolutely not.
It’s one of those things I might catch myself thinking about if I smoked a little bit while alone. I find it easy to think about what my legacy will be (and as you get older, you slowly accept there won’t be one). About my place in the universe and what the meaning of it all is. Death is the limiting factor to these questions that will never get answered, and that uncertainty can be very intimidating.
So, am I afraid of death? Yeah. I love having life and being able to observe the world around me and the dynamics of it all. That everyone I meet lived their own story and we can learn a whole new perspective for living. And all of that will stop one day because of this little jerk called death.
Yes. I had cancer, 18 months cancer free. It was silent and symptoms free until it was almost to late. I was told if I waited even another month it would have been to late. I’m 50 years old, 49 at the time of finding out. To some I know that old but it’s not. I was never scared of death before I got slapped in the face with the real possibility that it could happen at any time.
My entire life I’ve worked towards becoming a great filmmaker, my entire life has been oriented around doing whatever it took, and finally I have some really big things coming, and Donald Trump announces a tariff that will likely end all of them. I had a tv show going to air that Covid stopped, too.
Yes, definitely. Judging by all the “no” answers, there must be something wrong with me, but I think about this nearly everyday, about how short life is, how my life seems to be flying by, how it bothers me that I can’t slow it down, how I don’t want to die etc. I’m not sick or anything, just have a lot of existential dread I guess.
I’m only scared about not being remembered. I think that’s pretty common though. It’s why the most insecure people require the most fanfare, and the most physical representations of themselves before their demise.
Not scared for myself at all. But I’ve always worried about how hard life will be for my wife and kids if I were to go before the kids are grown and we’ve retired.
On the flip side, I don’t want to be a burden either. I’m 46. I’m thinking a sudden death when I’m about 70 would be ideal. By then all my kids’ lives will be established. They’ll have their own families and I won’t likely be supporting them in most ways. I’ll have been retired for a few years and hopefully will have done some traveling and crossed off some bucket list items.
I was terrifed when i was younger. Certainly not looking forward, but not afraid anymore. I will say, due to a operation FU that a dr left a nicked part bleeding into my stomach and i had blood literally coming out of both ends, i begged the nurse to not let me die, cause i knew it wasnt my time. but if its not accidental, its just gonna be my time. Worrying or being scared wont change that time 🙂
Just live, party, have fun, love. Nothing else you can do 😉
either this thread is full of extremely strong willed people, people who have convinced themselves they’re not afraid of death in one way or another, or liars. i’m gonna lean on the latter options. i’m terrified of death. i would live forever if possible. the thought of losing everything you’ve ever done, the possibility of doing anything else, everything you know and love, on top of the unknowns of death are terrifying. i understand that people come to terms with it as life goes on, but i don’t believe they’re any less afraid
as someone who’s overdosed multiple times and survived, i am not scared of dying anymore. i fully trust in whatever unknown power kept me alive, and when its my time to go, its my time to go.
…And I am not frightened of dying, you know Any time will do, I don’t mind Why should I be frightened of dying?
There’s no reason for it
You’ve gotta go sometime
I don’t know. Technically, I’ve been “dead” before. Really really bad car crash, brain damage, too many broken bones… my heart stopped 3 times.
I didn’t hear anything, I didn’t see anything, I didn’t have any feelings or experiences… it was a whole lot of nothingness. I just wasn’t there at all anymore.
I now feel even less sure of the afterlife, after coming closer to it than most people get to. If what I experienced is all there is, that would suck.
I’m not scared to die but I am anxious about how I will die. Like, will it be quick and pain free? Will I be injured, alone and scared? Will I be sick for years before I die? That’s the part that scares me.
People are actually all scared the hell out of dying. We just choose to NOT think about it or see it. This is truth. No one is immune to the fear of death. But some people, really rare, have really overcome. Preparing for death is very under-looked in this society. But it is more important than the birth. People tend to pretend the fear as something else, but they also know deep-down in their mind. They are being dishonest, or not even able to actually face death as it is. Death is not comfort, either. It’s just your fantasy and a lie that death is some sort of “comfort”. Death is death. Death is losing your life. Losing everything. It’s time for you to lose everything.
If you believe in the after-world, there is so much fear of not going to heaven. Eternal pain awaits you.
If you do not believe in after-world, you don’t even know what “not-existing” even feels/looks like. Well, you won’t even feel anything. The fact that you are just getting erased.. there is no way this is NOT scary. No feeling, no comfort, no nothing, just gone. You are gone and there is no you.
We just don’t face it as is. However, we are forced to face it when the time nears. People who NEVER prepared for this, will get even more scared when the time nears. There are people who live like they will never die. They are selfish, ruthless, and do not give a shit about others. They seem to do/perform better in this life (as sociopaths do in our society), but they will face even more fear when the time nears.
This is a question that we all should ask and think upon in a very deep manner. Think about your life, and more importantly, think about your death. Think about your death very honestly.
Ok as a Pastor I will first say you believe whatever you want, ok Here we go! I believe that we exist. There isno such thing as non- existance by definition. We are conscious. We chose this to experience it. Our soul is 1 tiny piece of a larger conscious being that chose to break apart into tiny pieces to experience everything life has to offer
So yes I’m saying you, me, our family we are all 1 part of God! Don’t be afraid of dyeing we do go on some part does the conscious soul electrical spark aura whatever you want to call it. You know after we die our brain relives 7 min of your best memory’s whoes gonna be in yours?? Don’t worry about it it’s gonna happen to all of us!
not necessarily, i’m actually kind of interested in it, not in a suicidal kind of way but I want to truly know what happens afterwards. It’s probably just nothing but if it’s something that’ll be cool
Yes and no. Quoting brand news song Jesus Christ “Jesus Christ I’m not scared to die, I’m alittle bit scared of what comes after. Do I get the gold chariot, do I float through the ceiling” and I really resonate with that
Here’s what scares me… And, please withhold judgment before I finish…. 1. If, and this is a very big ‘if’, ghosts are real, many of the supposed communications and recordings of them seem to convey that they are cold, lost, lonely, confused, and discombobulated. Now. Imagine not having a physical body, a voice, or a physical brain, and just being a confused half-asleep version of yourself that’s lost in a dream.
I’m not saying that’s what happens, but even as a remote possibility, that’s terrifying.
The Tibetan book of the dead is also pretty terrifying.
The Bible is terrifying.
Ceasing to exist and become the definition of absolute nothingness is also terrifying in an existential way.
not so much the how or when but the after and whether or not i will still be able to see ones i love, whether it be in the afterlife with me or still alive
No. Almost died a few times. The last time, I was ready, but it didn’t happen. Nothing scares me today. I just hope my death is worthwhile in some way.
im scared of hurting the people ill leave behind. To know i will leave an empty void, the ache in the heart…..pains me deeply. I am also scared of the how and where it will happen…..
No, but the fact I could die at any moment is scary and I do not want to die, I’m still young and I want to live my life to the fullest before I feel ready.
Not afraid of dying, just kinda waiting to at this point. But I am afraid of how im gonna die. Like i just hope im not burned alive or something excruciating.
I think I’m more scared of what I’m leaving behind. I have a LOT of dogs and I’m not sure if the people I’ve assigned to adopt them will really take care of them the way I’ve requested them to.
No, I’d prefer no pain and I’m scared or what happens to my child without me. I want to be financially independent and have life insurance at least so he’s cared for. And most importantly know he has a healthy and safe home if I go. None of this is currently in place so that worries me, not my death.
Yes. I’ve always had control issues and the thought of not knowing what’s after terrifies me. The idea of being here one day and the next day not is mind boggling. When it’s my time, it’s my time and I hope that when that day comes, it’s as painless as possible. But I also know that I have no control over that. I do hope that my loved ones who aren’t earth bound anymore are waiting for me bc the day to day without them is hard too.
I’m excited to see my family again and to meet my baby I lost but I’m afraid of leaving my family that’s still alive and also for pain…I wanna go peacefully but I know that doesn’t always happen and that scares me al lot
I see death as eternal rest. And boy am I getting more and more tired of this whole life of “trying to survive.”
I actually feel very comforted knowing that my life is finite. I guess it is just difficult for me to imagine actually being dead? Not breathing, not eating, etc. The human body turning into some rotting husk. So many questions as to some “other spiritual existence” too.
It’s okay though. Countless have died before me, countless will after me. Let’s just focus on things that make us happy while being on this earth 😊
Yes I am scared of dying. I watch a lot of nature shows and it seems the universe is naturally violent and painful. That scares me because I really dont want to be reincarnated as an anchovie for example.
I think there was a comedian or something that said something like this: “Being dead is easy. It’s getting dead that’s the problem”. I don’t remember the exact quote but it was along these lines. Then again maybe I’m just misremembering a whole lot of things
Comments
No I’m scared of pain
Scared, no. Disappointed, yes. I so very much want to know where we’ll be as a society in a 100 years but knowing that won’t happen kinda sucks.
Nope. I think the older you get the less you care.
Kinda ?
Idk how to explain it, on one hand the idea that everything just goes black and that’s it is both scary and comforting.
No, living is much worse.
The thing that scares me is not dying, its not being able to experience everything I want to experience during my lifetime.
I wouldn’t want to live forever, or longer, I just want to be able to experience all the things I enjoy.
I’m scared of getting old and not being able to take care of myself before death.
No. I am waiting for it. I welcome it.
Dying? Yes.
Being dead? No.
I’m afraid of being in pain when I die. I’m afraid of having a long, lingering death that leaves my partner no money and having to watch me die slowly by inches. I’m afraid of losing my faculties and becoming a burden to my partner.
But being dead? If I could be assured that I’d just go to sleep and not wake up or that it would be something sudden and fast and not painful? I’m fine with that.
(Note, I’m not in the least suicidal and I’d prefer that this death happens at least another 20 or so years from now and that I was still in reasonable mental and physical health until then.)
No. I’m actually ready for it
i’m more afraid of someone killing me than actually just dying
“Eh heck no! Those girls are all boobs and no brains.”
I’m scared of a horrific dying process that I may be too old and feeble to prevent.
If you were holding a gun to my face my answer would be different but the concept doesnt do much for me currently
No honesty I’m not but I prob should be.
no, just sad that there will be an end, i never liked endings
”If I am, then death is not. If Death is, then I am not. Why should I fear that which can only exist when I do not?”
No, I believe Christ will ressurect me into his dominion
I’ll be 77 in a month and a half. I’m a disabled veteran who saw combat in Vietnam. I’m not the least bit afraid of dying. It would be great if I could just go to bed one night and pass away but nothing else in my life has worked out that well so I doubt dying will either.

The only reason I haven’t taken myself out since then is the fact that me almost dying seriously fucked up my mom and my sisters. I now understand that it’d kinda sorta crush them and be a completely cunty move on my part
Dying, nah, not really, when it happens, its my time. I’m just scared of how much it might hurt.
Nah. Been there and with all sincerity its not even consciousness for me. Pain was dulled by adrenaline, never had an acceptance phase, no memories from how i felt before darkness.
To be honest i was terrified before, now 0 fear.
Now car accidents in general I fear. Just not actual death.

Yes, but also no. Not knowing how eternity will be gives me existential dread, but knowing that once I’m dead I won’t care about what happens after I die gets me back to feeling mostly normal. Weird kind of mental state.
Despite hating life and wanting to die, I’m terrified of dying. I’ve come close a few times, and I wasn’t as accepting as I felt I would be.
Not scared of dying, but scared of leaving loved ones behind.
No but my soul better be satisfied with my departure, too much life to live I haven’t yet
I was. Now, that I’m dead, it’s quite OK…
I’m specifically scared of dying from a heart attack or cancer. The stuff you can’t “see”. I’m not afraid of the stuff I can see.
When I was horribly depressed? Nope. Then when treatment finally worked all of a sudden it was terrifying for a while.
Not scared of death, but scared of the cause of death
Yes. Because I don’t know to handle the imagination that I will lose my inner Voice and self awareness. I think after death there is no blackness just absolutely nothingness. And I can’t imagine nothingness. That is what scares me.
i just scare i forgot to clear my browser history before dying.
Of course! I think everyone who hasn’t found their calling is on some level.
Does it affect my day to day? Absolutely not.
It’s one of those things I might catch myself thinking about if I smoked a little bit while alone. I find it easy to think about what my legacy will be (and as you get older, you slowly accept there won’t be one). About my place in the universe and what the meaning of it all is.

Definitely not afraid of dying. The “how” is more questionable.
Yes . Having seen what happened when my brother died, I am scared of the thought of my wife being left alone, my daughters’ grief
all living beings have the innate nature to avoid death as much as possible. Not so much of scared but we are programmed to live as long as possible
I was never scared of dying but now I have young kids I am. I hope when they are older, I will care less again.
no i am not scared of dying. i am more concerned about the future
Yes. I had cancer, 18 months cancer free. It was silent and symptoms free until it was almost to late. I was told if I waited even another month it would have been to late. I’m 50 years old, 49 at the time of finding out. To some I know that old but it’s not. I was never scared of death before I got slapped in the face with the real possibility that it could happen at any time.
No, I won’t lose anything
i don’t get how people say no, dying sounds terrifying and being dead sounds even worse
No, some days I feel like it would be a huge relief.
No, I’m scared of my family having it worse tho
I don’t care. I’ve been that way since as long as I could remember. I am scared of loved ones dying though.
A little bit. But when I really think about it, I believe the fear of death is worse than how my actual death will go.
Yes
My entire life I’ve worked towards becoming a great filmmaker, my entire life has been oriented around doing whatever it took, and finally I have some really big things coming, and Donald Trump announces a tariff that will likely end all of them. I had a tv show going to air that Covid stopped, too.
So no I kind of already feel dead.
Never before, until my children birth.
I’m scared of leaving my loved ones behind, not scared of death itself, I won’t even know it unless there is an afterlife.
Nope. I’m afraid of being a burden but not of dying.
No, but I am scared of what happens after that
Goodness, apparently I am the odd duck because I am terrified of dying!
In a way, yes, in a way, no. I just dont want it to hurt
No, but I’m scared of the process. Like drowning, burning, bleeding out, cancer, etc.
Never thought I was, found out I have a brain aneurysm that can burst at anytime.
Still not scared
Yes, definitely. Judging by all the “no” answers, there must be something wrong with me, but I think about this nearly everyday, about how short life is, how my life seems to be flying by, how it bothers me that I can’t slow it down, how I don’t want to die etc. I’m not sick or anything, just have a lot of existential dread I guess.
Nah, just scared for everyone else that would have to deal with it.
Extremely
I’m only scared about not being remembered. I think that’s pretty common though. It’s why the most insecure people require the most fanfare, and the most physical representations of themselves before their demise.
yes, but it’s inevitable so i eventually come to realize that i’m simply scared of dying in certain ways or with having unresolved issues.
Both scared and relieved: they say after death is painless but that causes me to question where thatll bring me
Not ready, only scared of dying slowly and painfully , will shoot myself immediately if I have a gun
Not at all. If anything, I’m curious about it.
Not scared for myself at all. But I’ve always worried about how hard life will be for my wife and kids if I were to go before the kids are grown and we’ve retired.
On the flip side, I don’t want to be a burden either. I’m 46. I’m thinking a sudden death when I’m about 70 would be ideal. By then all my kids’ lives will be established. They’ll have their own families and I won’t likely be supporting them in most ways. I’ll have been retired for a few years and hopefully will have done some traveling and crossed off some bucket list items.
I was terrifed when i was younger. Certainly not looking forward, but not afraid anymore. I will say, due to a operation FU that a dr left a nicked part bleeding into my stomach and i had blood literally coming out of both ends, i begged the nurse to not let me die, cause i knew it wasnt my time. but if its not accidental, its just gonna be my time. Worrying or being scared wont change that time 🙂
Just live, party, have fun, love. Nothing else you can do 😉
Not scared about when I die, just how.
Car crash, building collapse, fire, drowning all don’t sound very nice!
Yes, if I was in a situation where I was about to die, I would be shitting my pants
either this thread is full of extremely strong willed people, people who have convinced themselves they’re not afraid of death in one way or another, or liars. i’m gonna lean on the latter options. i’m terrified of death. i would live forever if possible. the thought of losing everything you’ve ever done, the possibility of doing anything else, everything you know and love, on top of the unknowns of death are terrifying. i understand that people come to terms with it as life goes on, but i don’t believe they’re any less afraid
No, not if it’s quick, painless & unexpected.
no, being alive scares me more
as someone who’s overdosed multiple times and survived, i am not scared of dying anymore. i fully trust in whatever unknown power kept me alive, and when its my time to go, its my time to go.
Death is painless. 100% of the pain I’ve ever felt has been while I was alive.
…And I am not frightened of dying, you know Any time will do, I don’t mind Why should I be frightened of dying?
There’s no reason for it
You’ve gotta go sometime
I don’t know. Technically, I’ve been “dead” before. Really really bad car crash, brain damage, too many broken bones… my heart stopped 3 times.

I now feel even less sure of the afterlife, after coming closer to it than most people get to. If what I experienced is all there is, that would suck.
No. I am scared of what’s gonna happen to me after i die.
Dying no… missing out on my kids’ futures, yes.
I’m not scared to die but I am anxious about how I will die. Like, will it be quick and pain free? Will I be injured, alone and scared? Will I be sick for years before I die? That’s the part that scares me.
More like ready for it
No
I’m scared of getting old and getting dementia, the dying part when i’m weak and in pain

Only for the sake of my young children.
No i hope i can die right now
not really. death would be the first time I could really rest.
No, I’ve almost killed myself 3 times each time with worse injuries. Now im physically disabled but maybe next time I’ll get lucky lol
i pray for it every hour of every day
Yes
another 24 year old who put himself on death row? well then,
not necessarily, i’m actually kind of interested in it, not in a suicidal kind of way but I want to truly know what happens afterwards. It’s probably just nothing but if it’s something that’ll be cool
Yes and no. Quoting brand news song Jesus Christ “Jesus Christ I’m not scared to die, I’m alittle bit scared of what comes after. Do I get the gold chariot, do I float through the ceiling” and I really resonate with that
Here’s what scares me… And, please withhold judgment before I finish…. 1.

The Tibetan book of the dead is also pretty terrifying.
The Bible is terrifying.
Ceasing to exist and become the definition of absolute nothingness is also terrifying in an existential way.
Not knowing is always scary.
not so much the how or when but the after and whether or not i will still be able to see ones i love, whether it be in the afterlife with me or still alive
Yep. Scary af
No. More scared of how.
No. Almost died a few times. The last time, I was ready, but it didn’t happen. Nothing scares me today. I just hope my death is worthwhile in some way.
Yes
No! It’s nothingness. And I need that after life.
im scared of hurting the people ill leave behind. To know i will leave an empty void, the ache in the heart…..pains me deeply. I am also scared of the how and where it will happen…..
Not scared to die…im more afraid of being old.
To an extent. I know i will die one day, but my fear comes in with being dead for all time, never to see or hear again
Not at all as long as it’s as fast it was the last time my heart stopped and they had to restart it.
No
No, but the fact I could die at any moment is scary and I do not want to die, I’m still young and I want to live my life to the fullest before I feel ready.
No. I don’t want pain though, that would suck.
Dying with pain is yes but without pain no i already tried suicide like hanging but i give up
Nope.
Not really. I think it is because life has shown me too much betrayal and pain. I have really lost faith in all humanity
Not afraid of dying, just kinda waiting to at this point. But I am afraid of how im gonna die. Like i just hope im not burned alive or something excruciating.
Had moments of facing my own mortality. It passed. Nothing one can truly do about it
No, I scared about during my last days I’ll be wandering around aimlessly looking for memories.
Nah Idk if I’m suicidal but I lowkey wouldn’t mind dying rn
Yes I have fear of death.
Living is worse than dying
No. I’m more so bothered by the idea of dying slowly, painfully. I have no concern with the act of dying. That happens to us all.
I think I’m more scared of what I’m leaving behind. I have a LOT of dogs and I’m not sure if the people I’ve assigned to adopt them will really take care of them the way I’ve requested them to.
Im scared of the point in time where I experiencing dying but not the actually being dead part.
No, I’d prefer no pain and I’m scared or what happens to my child without me. I want to be financially independent and have life insurance at least so he’s cared for. And most importantly know he has a healthy and safe home if I go. None of this is currently in place so that worries me, not my death.
Yes. I’ve always had control issues and the thought of not knowing what’s after terrifies me. The idea of being here one day and the next day not is mind boggling. When it’s my time, it’s my time and I hope that when that day comes, it’s as painless as possible. But I also know that I have no control over that. I do hope that my loved ones who aren’t earth bound anymore are waiting for me bc the day to day without them is hard too.
Sometimes I am but others I wish it would just happen already.
Right now, yeah, but I’m 30. If my family history is anything to go by, I’m at risk of dementia in my 80s.
In which case, I’d rather go of my own choosing instead of going through what my great grandmother and grandmother have gone through.
No, I’m scared to leave my young kids too soon.
No. I think there are many things in life worse than death.
Not really no.
Not since I gave up religion.
Yes and no
I’m excited to see my family again and to meet my baby I lost but I’m afraid of leaving my family that’s still alive and also for pain…I wanna go peacefully but I know that doesn’t always happen and that scares me al lot
I see death as eternal rest. And boy am I getting more and more tired of this whole life of “trying to survive.”
I actually feel very comforted knowing that my life is finite. I guess it is just difficult for me to imagine actually being dead? Not breathing, not eating, etc. The human body turning into some rotting husk. So many questions as to some “other spiritual existence” too.
It’s okay though. Countless have died before me, countless will after me. Let’s just focus on things that make us happy while being on this earth 😊
Not conceptually, but I am scared of dying too young.
Yes, I want to live Until I repay all the loans.
Post which, I am a free soul.
Yes I am scared of dying. I watch a lot of nature shows and it seems the universe is naturally violent and painful. That scares me because I really dont want to be reincarnated as an anchovie for example.
No.
But I am afraid of the people around me dying.
Nah I’m more scared to be alive and have dementia or the like
I think there was a comedian or something that said something like this: “Being dead is easy. It’s getting dead that’s the problem”. I don’t remember the exact quote but it was along these lines. Then again maybe I’m just misremembering a whole lot of things
Death gotta be easy cuz life is hard – 50 cent
I kinda want it to happen, but if I were to actually face death, I’d probably fight for my life.
Not scared of dying. The hardest part about of dying is knowing I will never see my son again.
No but I am scared of dying young and leaving my child without a mother.
