Why are you scared of death? That's the question, plain and simple.

I'm not really scared of death - I'm scared of the process of dying, because usually pain comes before death. In another way, I am scared of death, because after an hour of trying I was unable to comprehend not existing. So the unknown scares me a bit.

Your turn! biggrin.gif

I'm not. Well, obviously I'm trying to avoid dying, but I realize in the end it's going to happen, so might as well enjoy life while it lasts.

I'm not scared of being dead either. It's getting dead that bothers me tongue.gif. One night I thought I was going to die (I have no idea why) and the only thing that scared me about it was the process of dying.

I fear death, I don't want to die when I feel that I am not ready for it. I have lot of things to do before my life carries on a different way.

The pain from the process of dying and the suffering from the ones that care about me are why I don't want to die too soon. Plus, I haven't lived long enough to experience all the true joys of being human.

But then again, almost nobody truly cares about me and there is such a thing as a painless death...

That would explain not wanting to be dead, but what about death itself?

I don't fear death... Recently I've pretty much stopped caring. If I die, whatever. If I keep living, whatever.

The fear for me is caused by the fear of not being able to ever come back.

I'm not scared of dying. I think about it quite often. How I'm going to die, what I can do to die when I feel crap is too bad. What drugs I'll take to kill myself, who to take with me, etc...

Uncertainty of an afterlife is the only thing that bugs me. Contemplating nonexistance just blows my mind. huh.gif

Being dead is like dreamless sleep forever. That would make me feel better about not existing. Pain of death fear, not so much, though a painless death would be preferred

I fear not being able to experience anything or having my own free will ever again. That's only if I think about it though, so when I die, I want a quick, sudden death.

The only thing I would regret if I died right now is never doing ketamine, DMT, shrooms, acid, ecstasy, 2c-e, and other various research chemicals.. =(

I pretty much agree with Moose here.

Im an atheist, so my belief is when you die your dead completely. No soul, no heavan, no hell. So nonexistance, which we could think of as just blackness, is hard to think of, because blackness is something. Not being able to think or do anything and not being able to see anything nor acknowlege anything, its just so akward. You cant really explain nothingness because everything is something, unless your dead and are true nothingness.

Im not scared to die, but the uncertainty, and the way i die is what concerns me. I dont want to go quietly though. I want a big bang and to take out some people with me. I want to leave an impact on those around me, just to make them burst out of their protective bubbles they live in and realize they could be dead at any moment.

I wouldn't call it scared, but I don't want to die, because I want to go and do some of the ideas I have about things I have left to do.

I'm afraid of the uncertainty of the afterlife, and the fact (or maybe not fact?...) that I'll never live again.

I'm scared of dying, because, well, no longer being able to think or experience anything is not a condition I would like to be in, especially considering it lasts forever.

I don't believe in something after death, I just think that after my life is over, then whatever, not like I can change it, I just try and get the most accomplished in my lifespan as possible, I don't fear death, I don't fear pain, the only thing to fear is fear itself.

I'm scared of the afterlife and the deadly PAIN before it.

Scared of Pain. Death doesn't scare me, Pain does alot though.

But not all dieing has mass amounts of pain, if when i die it can be a fast one (hopefully natural causes to, I'd had to be murdered) I'd be happy.
