Do you fear death?

[doveling]

yep, its one of the most scariest things..
too many questions, the questions scare me most..
- where will i go
- will people be ok without me
- what does it feel like to be..gone.. do i have feelings? memories?
- how you fall into slumber

my grandma passed away last year, that alone made me cry for a few weeks and struck up hypochondria & anxiety..
death is really scary

when i was 10/11 i was terrified of death and i had to sleep in my mum's room for months because i was so scared lol

though i'm not scared at all now, i believe there isn't anything after death (rebirth i kind of believe in? not really though) and i'm at peace with dying and what comes along with it

 

[matt]

No whats the point

Right now I'm having an existential crisis and I'm 14 ffs.
I guess it's because I've been brought up in a religious household. No birthdays, no Christmas. But I kind of like it that way, it makes life a lot more simpler.
I've always felt that it wasn't for me, though. Whether I was sick or not I was nearly always forced to go to our version of church. I really don't feel comfortable there. Nearly everyone is so old, sarcastic and cranky. Nothing like everyone says it is there. Everyone looks so miserable and all the kids my age...well, let me say they're not nice at all.
I'm not going to say the name of the religion, because it's not exactly viewed with happiness and light in general society. And I honestly don't wish hellfire and destruction upon it, because it's the only way of life I've known.
I'm terrified what will happen if I do stray from it. I told my parents I wanted to take a break from it, and these past few weeks they've been even more hard on me. They said they would only let me leave if I had decent reasoning.
I do. I told them I hate going and they took it pretty badly.
So these past few weeks I've been pretty tired with life. I find eating and drinking pointless and I mostly stay inside because I don't want to deal with the outside world.
My parents believe in something different to me, but I'm actually terrified of dying.
I don't want to deal with a life after death. My life on Earth has been bad enough and I don't want to go through it again. I'd prefer to stay nestled up in my earthy tomb than being judged by God.
Basically what I'm scared of is not death itself, but what will happen afterwards. I know death will come upon us all one time, but I want it to be IT. The final destination. Nothing.

I think I know what religion you're talking about (but I won't say). I'm scared of dying, and this is because I'm an atheist, but sometimes I think "what if God really does exist and he sends me to hell for not believing in him?"

That's almost exactly what I'm afraid of. I don't exactly believe in God but I don't exactly disbelieve in him either. My parents always warn me how everything I do could end up with me being sent to "eternal death" as they like to refer to it.
I don't want to think about it. If they believe in it, that's fine and I bear no grudges whatsoever. They're my family! But I want to live my life and be happy, not mope in the corner waiting for the apocalypse to come. I don't want to feel miserable all the time.

I'm more afraid of dying young enough for my parents to mourn and suffer over me than death itself.
Which is slightly hypocritical, because I know it'd be a long time before I could fully recover if one of my parents died.

I don't have any religious beliefs, so I don't fear death. At worst, I expect a void of absolute nothing that I won't be conscious to experience.

 

[B e t h a n y]

Nope :3

 

[xxDianaxx]

No I am a Christian and believe I'll go to heaven.

 

[Delphine]

Saying 'no' may sound dumb, but I never think about it. And even when I talk with my friends and they ask me 'Are you not scared of what happens next?', I simply they I don't believe there's anything after: the body stops working, so does your mind and your conscience, and you're not even aware this is happening. It's hard to picture this but that's what I believe happens.
And also I'm completely atheist, if you were wondering

 

[Feloreena]

No, I don't fear death itself. I'm an atheist and I don't believe in any afterlife (I honestly think it would be torture to have to live in an afterlife for all of eternity regardless), and I believe that death will simply be like before you were born - nothingness that you have no awareness of.

I fear dying in a painful and/or prolonged way, or dying so young that I haven't achieved any goals in life. But I think that applies to most people.

 

[LunaLight]

I'm scared because I don't know where I will end up. Heaven, hell, nowhere. There's so many religions and God's that I have to choose not to believe in any of them because we will never know which one is the truth and which ones are the fairytales.

I agree.

 

[Leopardfire]

I believe when you die nothing happens, so I'm absolutely terrified. I can't bring myself to believe in religions anymore. I'm also paranoid of how I will die. You never know what could happen to you.

 

[OmgACNL]

I've always been scared of dying I know it's a natural part of life but I know I will miss everyone (if someone else dies) my mum died when I was 10 so I think that's why I'm so scared of it

 

[unravel]

Yes I do fear in death, I do not know what will happen next or whatever sometimes I cried when sleep because I keep thinking about it. If I die where will I go and how does it feel (or whatever) after?

I think "what if God really does exist and he sends me to hell for not believing in him?"

I kinda regret saying this before and I swear like jfc (maybe influenced in net) and I dunno the reason why maybe because lose faith in humanity or everything I wanted to be atheist but I changed my mind. I'm a Catholic and I stopped going to church when I was grade one and I do not know why.

I played Narcissu 1st & 2nd and this maybe learn my lesson... Speaking of this game and death I don't wanna die at home or at hospital, I want somewhere peaceful like in beach (not a resort lel)

 

[Gregriii]

Yes... I really hate thinking that things when I know that when I die, I will not remember anything from that life, It's a bit hard to me to be conscient that all my memories, good times will disappear...

 

[Earth Wolf-Howl]

Yes- I fear it. It's not like I don't know it'll happen, but that's the painful thing- knowing that, at any moment, all that you have and love could be snuffed out at any moment by a relentless disease or horrific accident. Even worse is the feeling that we don't know exactly what happens after we fade. I often wonder what could be waiting ahead- or if we'll just wait in nothing but an endless void for eternity. A favourite theory of mine is that we reminisce over life and replay it again and again, making different choices every time- but it's just that. A groundless, unproven theory.

Sometimes, I wish that it was possible to bestow life upon someone who has died, if only to know what lies ahead, even if the revival is only temporary. It would be a comfort to us all.

 

[Improv]

I don't fear death itself; I've been a Christian for as long as I remember and faith is basically what gets me through most hardships, I don't have a fear of where I'll go or who I'll be with. If you don't have a religion, then whatever, you know, that's your life and your choices.

I do, however, fear how I will die. I'm not scared of being murdered, honestly. I'm more scared of having a heart attack, stroke, aneurysm, etc. than dying by gunshot, stabbing, drowning, or burning.

 

[matt]

I certainly do...the fact that i might be the first person to live forever
