Do you fear death?

I know I do even though I try and tell myself I don't because I think I know where I'm going after I die (according to my religion). Regardless of my faith in what I believe, there's still no one who can tell you for 100% sure what happens after you die. I just feel like I have so much to do during my life here on Earth that I don't want it to end suddenly. I'm also afraid of dying a horrible death and suffering, such as being burned alive or being trapped underwater and drowning. Just an overall scary concept, I suppose.
 
I don't fear death, but what I do fear is pain. The pain of old age is something I really don't want to experience, and of course there are other things that can lead to dying that are much less pleasant.
 
I'm not really afraid of dying. I reckon it'll be just like falling asleep. Also, in accordance with my personal beliefs, I think I'll be able to be with my loved ones who've also passed away which I almost kind of look forward to. (Of course I'm unsure this will happen, but I feel like it will...idk why, but I just believe that)

I AM afraid of dying at a young age though or dying a really painful death.
 
I do fear death. I fear dying in here, while my city burns, and there's no one there to save it.
 
There are times when I wouldn't even mind being dead but that's when I'm not thinking. If I think about it death is the scariest thing to me because nobody really knows what happens when that time comes. My family is all religious and I was brought up to believe in an afterlife but living for eternity is the most frightening possibility for me. The idea of living forever, with no end, makes me scared and confused so I hope it isn't like that.
 
I fear death. My grandpa is 89, I'm super scared that death will strike him soon ;-;
But although I go to visit him and my grandma (who's 2 years younger but seems in better shale) regularly, he always trip, and once he tripped and fell on me. (****ing heavy and I thought he died on me D:)
But I also fear death for myself. Like sometimes I zone out and realize then that I'm a human, that I have a life, when I zone out it feels like ai'm just a soul. It's... Really weird.
 
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.
 
No, I'll accept it. What I fear is what will happen, where will I end up? It confuzzles me then scares me. I wouldn't mind hell, really. Sounds like a deal I'd take.

But yeah, I just wonder what it feels like. Is it cold? Is it warm? What is it?
 
Yes.
Death is the scariest thing I can think of.

I can't put it in words, but, where will we even go? We won't have any memories, will we just be floating in a dark space? Is there an after life? Are we jsut in nothingness?

I don't want to leave. I hate death and I hate thinking about it.

Death and I are pretty good friends, actually. Death reminds me to keep living until it's really, truly over. I've always been relatively content knowing that my body's going to return to the Earth someday. Not that I look forward to it, but it's the most comforting thought I have on the subject.

Death is kind of a liberator, in a sense. When I encounter something so horrid that my body can't handle it, or all my time is spent, Death hits the off switch. Death isn't enjoyable, and one of my greatest fears is a slow, agonizing death, but the fact that death is actually there is kind of a relief. I'd rather die than be kept alive by machines or whatever. That's what scares me the most.

So, yeah. Death and I are pretty chill. It does a lot of **** I don't like, but that's just how it is.
 
I definitely fear death, just because it's so unknown, we have no idea, life is all we know.
Every living creature for the most part fears death I think, I mean I think the whole reason we get scared is because we as living animals fear death and will avoid death at all costs (not talking about suicide). Just look at animals, like how cats easily get scared, birds fly away from us, or how impalas run when a lion chases it. It's only natural for us to fear death, I think...
I sometimes think religion was actually created to calm us down about death, and give some sort of understanding to it actually. Of course it's just all belief.
 
yes. a couple of summers ago, the realization of death really struck me for some reason and it gave me such bad anxiety. i wasn't feeling like myself for a while because of that (as silly as it may sound). I just had too much time to think about it. I mean, it still frightens me, but I sort of accept it for the time being. it's out of my control anyway.
 
No. I figure I will face it when I get there. Either there is nothing or we will all go on. I do not believe in a vengeful god who punishes so i am not fearful of a hell. What i am really afraid of is the manner of death. Too many people i have known died painfully, of disease, alone... I am afraid of a painful or lonely death the most.
 
I used to but then I thought hey it's a part of life and you are gonna have to accept it. So I did and now I don't really mind how I die, it's gonna happen at some point no point worrying about it. I'm not a religious person so I don't really believe in heaven or anything like that but then again even if my beliefs were wrong, which they might be, then I'm not sure I would want an after life.
 
yes but i fear pain and suffering more i guess
and leaving my loved ones behind
as mentioned, i definitely fear the unknown factor. pain + unknown = ????
