Some brave folks here, hmm. I believe in life after death but even so, I'm still afraid to die. Just because I would like to live it out to the fullest. I don't even know if I'll be able to keep anything I learn here, I don't even know what will happen after for sure. You can never be sure unless you die yourself.

I'm afraid but I just ignore that feeling and just continue to live. Except for the times I feel like it's pointless to continue to live.
You're all idiots, but I'm no different.

No, in my perspective you're the strongest out here... Why? because despite you are in deep shit (I guess so on the way you react on the thread) right now, you still wish to live life.. Me? There are quite some times including now that I really wanted to die because of severe depression.. But I just don't want to commit suicide because I'm afraid of God's possible wrath.. So I compliment you of being brave to face life even at its worst...

There are a lot of things in my life I'd rather leave behind-- problems, college, screw ups that still affect me til now-- so I sometimes I think of how nice it must be if I'm dead and not care about those anymore.

But thinking about how my family and friends I'll be leaving makes me reconsider.

I'm more afraid of the process of dying than I am of being dead itself. Dying is painful, but once I'm dead I won't care that I'm dead.

Hmmmmm. I suppose thanks are in order but I think I only have that resolve because I decided the trade off is far too little for a future you are not even sure of, or lack thereof. Suicide is the easy way out, that I know. I've helped so much people to get out of that suicidal state moments before they do it but it was just funny when it came to the point that I found myself nearly doing it.

I suppose what I mean is, even when you think there is no hope or nothing left for ya. There is such a thing that exists, someone somewhere will care for you.

Just gotta cling to that hope I suppose. Even if you're depressed, find it in yourself to cling.

I believe I'm inherently afraid of death, if I wasn't, I wouldn't be able to post this post. If I'm making the conscience effort to avoid harmful circumstances, then yes, I am subconsciously afraid of dying.

However I do agree with some posts here; it often is indulgent thought to think of how wonderful it would be to be dead, and to let go of all worries once and for all. Yet, there's that feeling that snaps you right back in line: "fight on"

Just this once, I'll fulfill whatever your wish is.

As of right now, no.
I can't really be afraid of it until I experience it first-hand, so until I'm knocking at Death's door, I won't feel that fear of dying.

I'm young, healthy and have a pretty long life ahead of me unless some freak accident kills me, but until then I won't really seriously think about dying, even if I do, I don't think I'd understand the real fear of it.

That wasnt anything aimed at u, your dad, or anyone else going through something like that an im glad that u overcame it. But your post contained what is known as anecdotal evidence - or evidence in the form of personal accounts that is nowhere near formal enough and large wnough aa a sample size to come to a conclusion about every member of the entire population.

You have no obligation to prove anything or respond even. But since this is casual discussion dont be surprised if people try to doscuss things lol

Depends on what you think is gonna happen when you die. As an Atheist, I think either I will cease to exist, in which I wouldn't be afraid to die because after I do, I wouldn't be able to think about it, or I would be stuck in pitch black darkness, forever left to think about everything, causing me to slowly go insane. Obviously, the 2nd option is my worst possible fear, as I hate thinking. Why else would I indulge myself in all these time wasting activities?

To stop me from thinking. My thoughts alone are the scariest thing.

I'm not afraid of the concept of death in itself, but I am scared to die. It'll be terrifying knowing I'm leaving behind all of my friends and family, never going to see them again and then I just won't exist anymore. I don't know if we go anywhere after we die, but it's very hard to believe that we do so I think I'm more worried of what will happen after I die.

I'm not afraid of Death, but I don't welcome it. If I was scared, I wouldn't have enlisted in the US Army under a combat MOS.

Meaning, I will still do whatever it takes to survive, but if it happens, it happens. It's gonna happen eventually anyway...

Or WILL it???

I go back and forth between absolute extremes. Sometimes I shut down and am trapped by a sudden but deep-seated fear of death, whereas other times I feel that I wouldn't care one bit if I were to die at the present moment.

I agree with OP, there is nothing to be afraid of. I don't think there is an afterlife or anything, and the thought of absolute nothingness is a bit depressing, but at least I don't have to worry about anything. If you're dead, nothing concerns you anymore. Which is a good thing, I guess.
The only thing you can rely on is that you can't rely on anything.

Not really, but at this age I probably fail to grasp the full meaning of life and death.

I'd probably be more afraid of the manner which I die from.

No, living to suffer under your mistakes is a fate more painful than death. I believe my death will be for the benefit of others.

I only fear the fate of others after I die.

Why won't you try to believe that after death there would be something beyond this so called of yours "nothingness"? At least if you do believe and when there is for real, you'll be glad.. But if there's none, I doubt you would still be able to know that you've decided to believe... Just a logical advice though...

Belief is not something you can choose just like that, yeah I can say ''Heaven exist'' but I'd be just lying to myself.

I don't know if these people actually experienced the verge of dying so they can say they're not afraid.


For me, yes I'm scared and the fact that I "technically" experienced the verge of dying, I realized it myself that I was really scared of it when I experienced that.

Of course I'm afraid. Who wouldn't be?

I mean, most use the fact that dying doesn't hurt in and of itself to justify their lack of fear. I think that's invalid. For me, it's not the pain of dying that I'm afraid of; it's the act of loss. The fact that I am losing something (in this case, my life) in my transition from life to death is what truly scares me more than anything else.

And if there's really no afterlife, then we're just floating in nothingness for eternity. I don't know about you guys, but that terrifies me like little else can.

How really sure are you? I mean, either way since you don't believe in after life.. Then if you're right, you won't still be able to realize it when you die, because there would be nothingness.. Whereas if you believe, then if it really exist, then at least you can tell to yourself that 'yes!' it's true, oh well if it isn't true, you won't be able to realize it either that it is not true because there would be nothingness.. Either way, I'm just being logical here... (sorry for the bad english, im not a native speaker.)

That's not even logical at all whatsoever, because you assume that both possibilities share equal plausibility, and that there aren't multitudes of other options. I'll give you an example for each objection.

If I were to tell you that if you don't send me $500 right now, you'd die a painful death, then according to your logic giving me the money is most reasonable. If you give it to me and I'm correct, you'd be most relieved; if I'm incorrect, $500 is not something that you couldn't make back in a lifetime. On the other hand, if you don't give me $500 and I'm correct, you'd die a painful death. If you accept this logic, then you are forced to concede to all claims by necessity.

Secondly, if it turns out that God rewards murderers, then living a life of virtue would bring you to eternal condemnation. We can apply this to your game theory as well. If your assertion of God is correct, you will go to Heaven. If my assertion of God is correct, you will go to Hell. Therefore, living a life of virtue has no advantages.

Lol at poll results, fear of death is natural, and wanting to survive is in basic instinct of all living things. If you had a gun at your head right now you would all be shitting yourselves.

I assume the people voting No, mean they are not scared of dying a peaceful death after living a long happy life, which is different.
