The only thing related to death that I'm scared about is if my funeral isn't done right, because I'm about to get the hell up out my coffin and fix it if it ain't.

This.

If my funeral would have been planned badly, I'd haunt whoever turned it into a bad funeral. In fact, I'm not as scared of death than compared to getting dementia. Man losing my memory would cause my life to fail already.

I think about this a lot actually. Death has it's way of creeping into my thoughts, and I honestly get sick to my stomach.

But the I look at things, and it does settle me down, is that assuming I die old, I will have lived such a full life that I'd be ready for death. Hopefully I'd have done everything in life that I wanted to, and be able to say that death wouldn't be so bad anymore.

I'm worried about growing old. I don't want to get to the point where I'm so old I can't remember the ones who mean everything to me, or where I'm in so much pain and can't live on my own.

As for the actual part of death, I'm not afraid of what comes afterwards. It means nothing to me. What I am worried about is what I leave behind. There are specific instructions I'll have for when I die, and I want to know that those will be followed and not ignored just because I'm dead.

I'm more worried about getting some horrible disease and suffering from that than I am dying. Once you're dead there's nothing to worry about anymore and I don't believe in an afterlife so it doesn't really matter to me. Death is just something that happens to everyone, it just means to make your life worth something and enjoy the journey there.

The only part of death that scares me is the fact that nobody knows exactly when it's gonna happen. Sure when you become really old you become aware it's getting close , but you can never know the exactly moment it will happen. Though other than that fact, it doesn't bother me much cause I know it's gonna happen someday Just don't know when so I try live a good life as much as possible.

I think about this quite a lot, actually.

I don't think I fear death, itself. I do believe in paradise after death, but I also have many doubts all the time about it. I mean, we don't actually know, do we? I cannot fathom either ceasing to exist, nor living eternally.

But, the thought of a paradise, where I can see my loved ones again, makes me at peace with death.

I'm also not really afraid of dying at the moment. I mean, what'll happen will happen, so I see no point of fearing it until it does. As I grow older, I shall probably start worrying about a painful death, but at the moment, I do not.

What worries me is any pain that I will leave behind. Anyone who will cry themselves to sleep, missing me. Anyone that my death shall cause pain to. That's what makes me afraid. I don't want to inflict that kind of pain into anyone.

Yeah, uh.. I'm terrified of dying? ;(

I think the only thing I hate more than my own death is the prospect of living forever, though. But I digress. I'm very, very afraid of dying. Call me un-evolved or instinctual, but my self preservation is quite adept. So much so that it's actually my diagnosis. I have severe anxiety that revolves around my general well being. When I'm panicked, I feel like I'm at the cusp of breathing my last breath, when rationally I know that's not the case. It's something that I, as an individual with maladjusted chemicals in my brain, can't help. Although I've made a lot of progress on medication.

Maybe my fear is built on experience, since we've all encountered death at one point or another; or maybe it's hereditary, all I know is that death is a frightening subject for me. I greatly dislike the concept of a "process" of dying through illness or sudden accident and the moment the brain ceases to function. The very act of composing this post is.. upsetting for me.

I am innately fearful of my life ending and losing everything that I am. And I cannot comprehend those who say they don't. I can understand feeling desensitized to it, but for the life of me I can not understand how, at the most base and animal side of humanity, one can not fear death.

No, because dying is only but an inconvenient truth. It's not about what happens then, it's about what's happening now.

I have been in a couple of near death experiences though, and they are scary, but I wouldn't say I fear them in my normal life.

Being a Catholic, I obviously believe in God.

I believe when someone dies, it's because they have fulfilled their purpose and God wants them to be happy with him.

This being said, no, I am not afraid of death. When the time comes for me to die, I hope I can laugh at the reaper and accept my fate calmly.

It's not something I really think about.

It wouldn't be fun, but I'm focused on living my life how I need to rather than worrying about death.

Cognitive dissonance. I KNOW that there's no point in fearing death, but that doesn't stop me from actually fearing it. It's actually my greatest fear. What will I leave behind? Will I die before I even get to leave anything behind? How long until I'm forgotten? What's on the "other side?" Knowing that it can happen at any time in any place by just about anything, and that it could possibly mean nothing is terrifying. I'm well aware I shouldn't be worrying about any of this and that it ultimately doesn't matter, but my thoughts aren't exactly 100% mine to command, now are they?

No matter how many times I tell myself I've accepted it, I haven't. And honestly, I'm starting to think that my fear is a good thing. It motivates me to make something of myself at all costs and to make sure I stay healthy and safe to stay away from death's door. I want to accomplish things I'll be remembered for and to touch the lives of others and live on in their "hearts". I WILL live long and leave a great legacy or die trying.
I'll put something cool here eventually.

I have not really been afraid of dying yet. When I die I will be nonexistent, nothingess, so it's not as if I'll be able to have a pity-party for myself. I have contemplated greatly on what it would be like to be absolutely nothing, however. So I'm not really afraid of dying because I won't ever realize I'm dead. What I worry about is leaving loved ones behind and for them to go through the pain of losing someone.

What I am afraid of is aging. A constantly ticking clock I cannot stop. I am absolutely helpless when it comes to the matter of my body growing and degenerating, which I find worse then death. I will never be able to be a child again once I reach adulthood, and once I am old I will never be able to be an adult again. Knowing that my life is ticking is, in a way, worse then dying. Dying is a rather simple, natural matter that will hopefully be painless. Life is hard. Helplessness and knowing of the impending doom that you will never be on this earth again is worse then the actual matter of dying.

To be as honest as possible, I don't really ever bothered about death and such that much, well of course I sometimes wonder what dying is like, but as of now I more fear that I might die in an inconvenient moment or place rather than the fact that I'll actually will do some day

I'd say yeah, I pretty much am, even if its stupid. I have an urge to become immortal in a sense, a logical sense grounded in realism through scientific methods, or atleast live a couple hundred years more with regenerating cells so aging won't become an issue. I wouldn't ever say no to that.

I had a moment where I feared for my life a few weeks ago, so I am quite afraid of death. For one reason; I don't know what happens in the afterlife. What happens in the afterlife does worry me, and I don't want to be in perpetual nothingness for eternity. Personally I hope I'm pinning on reincarnation; I would love to be a snake.

Controversial?

I'm not really afraid of death itself - I've managed to grasp the concept okayish. What I'm scared of is dying having not lived my life to the fullest - having not had sex, or graduated from uni, accomplished my dreams, fallen in love, etc. - because of this, I feel like every day you should live life to the absolute fullest you can; in other words, live like there's no tomorrow. :P

The only thing I'm afraid related to death is that i don't know what I'll do in after.
I hope there's some kind of tutorial when I get there...and freakin' ugly monsters too, so I can kick their faces off! :D
P.S. Now this led me to a theory that those RPG fantasy games' original purpose is to train us in our life after death! (Now that explains respawning)
