Anyone here afraid of dying?

ive been thinking alot in the state i am in because it is 4 20 and ive come to the resolution that i am scared of dying someday whenever it is. Anyone out there scared of it also or are you imbracing death and looking forward to it because you believe in a god or spirt thingy of some sortAnyone here afraid of dying?
I am not afraid of dying, I just really, really, hope there is no after life... I don't know why people want an afterlife so much, I find the thought depressing as hell, I want true peace. If Christianity is right... Man I'm not going to enjoy that.. I'm either going to get raped by satan for all eternity or I'm going to worship God for all eternity. Either way, I don't think I'm going to like it. Anyone here afraid of dying?
No not really, its not a huge thing to me. I mean maybe if i knew the time and date, then yes, but i dont so no
beyond the realms of death my friend, it all fades to black, and then hallowed will be thy name.
I'm not afraid of the act of dying (any pain/fear that goes with it, etc.), but I'm absolutely terrified of what the afterlife holds. I don't want to have an afterlife...even if it's ''good.'' It scares and depresses me so much.
Im not scared of dying... but i am very angry that there will be so much knowledge which i will never be able to attain.
when i'm dying ill let you know
Death isn't scary to most people until they're facing it. Then you see that many of those who claim the idea of death doesn't bother them didn't understand just how powerful the human desire to exist is.
Nope. I look forward to it.

Sometimes death isn't scary because you don't even have time to process the thought. Also the fear of pain, and the fear of death are two different things. If my time was now, I would accept it... There's no need to fear something I cannot prevent. Sure this is all talk and I would probably scream like a little girl if I was getting eaten by zombies.. even though I have a high pain tolerance, but you know, I'm not really afraid to just - die.
Why would I beafraid of dying... there are more important things to worry about than dying.

[/QUOTE]Yep, this is true. If you die in a car accident, chances are you were only really terrified for a few seconds at most, and sometimes it happens so quickly that you don't even have time to see it coming. But in general, those who DO face death are frightened by it. Not all, but most. And many of those who aren't are those who quite simply haven't thought much about it, or who genuinely believe there is a favourable afterlife waiting for them. In the absence of such beliefs, when you do start to think about it, the prospect of not existing is certainly disturbing... if you like existing.This doesn't mean that you'll fall into a fit of depression over the idea of death, though.

It's strange, I don't think about suicide ever, but I do like to think about never coming to be. That's why I'm a bit uncertain if I would be afraid.

Once they induce fear and guilt that's when they sell you the snake oil. They can getthem to believe pretty much anything as long as they keep feedingthem fear.I'm not knocking you for having the fear, because to some extent I also have it, but my point was that your postgot me thinking of why the belief in an afterlife is so popular. Perhaps I'm just thinking out loud, though.
Right now yes but when I'm really old and I know death is coming I'll embrace it.
It kinda freaks me out about what could happen after Death, yes. I don't tend to think about it often, though, as I like to have pleasant thoughts in my mind, thank you very much! :x
The thought of not living terrifies me, and I believe in God. It just freaks me out when I think about one day dying, not being here anymore.

I'm a person who would eagerly choose to live for billions of years if given the chance, provided that it is in a healthy state and I'm not the only human in existence. In that respect I have every reason to hope for an afterlife, but no reason to believe in one. I wouldn't necessarily say I'm afraid of dying right now, because I'm young and healthy, and so the prospect of death is not something which occupies much of my thought. Faced with death, though, I think I would be uncomfortable, not because I was genuinely 'afraid' of not existing, but because I find the notion very unappealing.This may change with age, though. I hear that many people look at death as a relief when they're much older, and that it becomes much easier to accept and embrace, because even non-existence is more appealing than a life of constant physical pain and emotional pain (caused mainly by losing so many people you care about to death and being unable to replace the relationships).
