So, what's your take on death? Does it scare you? Does it bother you? Have you merely accepted it as something to happen to you one day? Discuss~

I'm terrified of death. I like living my life as much as possible, and the idea of death is bothersome to me as well. I can't really accept it just yet because it just... scares me. :c

Everybody is afraid of death. It's human, nay, animal nature to be afraid of it. Even those who consider suicide and even those who go through with it are afraid of death, ultimately. That doesn't mean you can't accept it and deal with it though.

We're all going to die eventually, and there's really very little we can do about it, aside from enjoying our life as best we can.

I don't get bothered by other people's deaths as much as some people. But I'd be lying if I said the thought of my own doesn't bother me somewhat since I have no idea what, if anything, comes next. I don't want to fade away into nothingness and be forgotten in a generation or two.

I'm not scared of death exactly. It's more that I'm scared of dying suddenly without a chance to prepare. My grandmothers both died recently but even for the one who was otherwise pretty healthy up to suddenly getting ill she was able to accept it pretty well and so did most of us. The cousins I had who were around my age and died from accidents make me kinda terrified if I think about it too much.

Having come extremely close to death in the past, I can't say that the idea of it really bothers me as much as it used to. Getting a taste of your own mortality shifts your perspective on life just a tad. Did for me, anyway. Whilst I wouldn't exactly say I don't care whether I live or die - at least, not at this particular moment in time; I have my off days same as everyone else - it doesn't bother me any more that my life will one day come to an end. It doesn't really scare me the way it used to. There are plenty of things in life far more terrifying and painful than death.

I'm in no particular rush for it, though. If it's something that is going to happen, it'll happen in it's own time without me worrying about it. Who knows? Maybe we'll find a way to achieve biological immortality before I succumb to death. Stranger things have happened. Whatever will happen will happen when it happens. I'm not facing death at this precise moment, so it's not really relevant.
I feel like I'm one of those people who just doesn't know how to react to death. ._.; I've only ever had news of some external family member who I've never seen in years suddenly passing away and while it would affect some of my immediate family members, I've never really shown so much emotion, mostly because I've never really knew them.
I was this way forever, really until just a few years ago. Until I was...18 maybe? I had never had anyone in my family die that did not have "great" in their name. Great grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc. I would be saddened by their deaths but my life went on seemingly unaffected. My grandpa died when I was 18 and that was the first time I had truly experienced death. I didn't do anything for 2 or 3 days because I didn't know what emotions to go through. I was honestly in shock.

Basically for me, I am not afraid of my own death. I know it's going to happen one day and I have accepted that. I don't see a reason to fear it because once it happens, my life is over and there will not be a need to worry. I do fear for the deaths of those around me though. I am constantly worrying about my last grandparents and when I will lose them. It's probably something that I shouldn't focus on too much as they are both very healthy but yeah...

I've been pretty close to death a couple times from my ulcerative colitis so it doesn't bother me much. I think about it sometimes, but I just see it as why am I gonna worry about it so much now when when I do die I'm not gonna care because I'm dead. And if there is some afterlife I'm totally not gonna care because I'll be out exploring new things I couldn't while I was alive. I do get scared about my grandma and dad dying the most for some reason.

I'm more scared of having my life extended past the point of being able to truly live. I'm a little scared of death but as lng as before my time I'm not spending months or years in pain or in bed then I will be fine.

Im not really scared of death. Its not like I can miss my former life or anything. Being dead, you dont feel the consequences. As long as you dont die a slow death.

Its not like being scared of being severely injured- where you have to deal with it for months or years and suffer the effects.

I dont want to die, but Im not really afraid. Maybe my POV will change if I experience a near-death event or if I have a family and my death would be bad for my family (for obvious reasons).

I'm absolutely afraid of death! We don't know what happens after we die and that frightens me a lot. I know I'll die one day but I'm still so frightened by it.

The clips are all loaded,
now what shall you do?

It depends how I die. The circumstance of being killed by accident (especially in a quick, painless, manor) would make me feel neutral about death. Death that results from hating myself or others would make me very uncomfortable because I would die knowing that any attempt I made trying to fix the flaws in the world was a big waste of time. I don't care if I die of old age either, as long as I can take my final moments to look back to say "I won".

The process of dying is more of an issue. If death is nothingness, then nothingness means infinite possibilities and infinite possibilities is a lot better than having to cope with the kind of bullcrap that I have to go through right now.

But, in case life's an endless cycle that just repeats itself and forces you to repeat everything over and over again: see you next cycle.

Of course I'm scared of death.. It's not so much I'm scared of death... I'm scared of the unknown. Nobody knows what happens after death, and it's psyducking scary. What's even more scary... Is, I should of been dead over a year ago, it was a crazy ride.
