Not really, however I do not want to die unless it's old age, a disease or I'm in control of it (like suicide), I do not want to be offed via accident or some other means. No plane crashes, nuclear fire, and no some nutjob wants to fire a gun at me for no reason. But I don't dwell on it.

I was actually thinking the same thing when I saw this thread, like, two days ago. I was just like, "Probably not the sort of thing you wanna see on a forum full of mostly teenagers".
Then I just decided to roll with it.

Nah.
But yeah if someone suddenly shoots me or something.
But that's more fear of pain right?

I don't fear death, I kind of look forward to it. Not in a morbid or suicidal way...I'm just really curious as to what happens after we die. I want to find out the answer, and there's only one way to know. So I don't think when the time comes that I'll be very very sad. But of course, there are people who would be very devastated, like my parents, and I'd be sad for them.
I do wish that we could just *poof, disappear. I don't like the idea of leaving a rotting body behind. I don't like the idea of cremation or burial, so IDK what's gonna happen to my body. I guess probably burial by default, but that's very unappealing to me.
I almost wish there was some island they could just throw my body on, and then the animals can eat me or whatever. That seems most natural of all. But we couldn't do that with all the billions of people on earth, so it's not very practical.
Burial at sea seems pretty similar to that idea, at least the fishies, the sharks and plankton or whatever could feast on my remains. I have a horrible horrible phobia of being in the ocean though, so it seems kind of tragically ironic to think that's where I'd end up.
Some sort of crypt would be pretty ideal. But not a little coffin sized one. I'd want a whole room where I could stand up and move around. Yes I know, I'll be dead and there will be no standing or moving around. But I'm pretty claustrophobic, and the thought of not having that option is really really frightening.
Basically, I don't plan on dying until I figure out what to do with my remains. lol. No seriously.

Only for people I'm close to. I've lost way too many people already. As for me, kind of. I guess it's where I'm an atheist, I believe that there's nothing after death, I'll just be gone. I don't worry about getting into an after-death paradise. I won't even know I'm dead. But I also want to make the most of the one life I get, and for the most part, I don't want it to end.

I witnessed my mother's death 4 years ago and it was horrific. It was my biggest fear before it happened. She died of an internal haemorrhage and bled to death right before my eyes over the course of several hours. It was very graphic. A terrible way to die - especially for someone you cared so deeply about. I had to face that fear July 6th 2010 at 2:45pm when she passed after hours of watching her slip away, not being able to do a thing about it. The doctors asked us if they should resuscitate and my answer was no because she had been suffering for years - over a decade.
Jesus I'm so sorry you had to witness something like that.

I'm mostly just afraid of what will happen after death. There's so many theories and religions that I'm not sure which one is the right one. I don't know what will happen to me or what will happen when I'm gone.

It was traumatizing for sure to say the least. I appreciate your sympathy. Or even that you cared to comment/reply. So thank you.

I think I'm more afraid of the death of my mother than I am of my death. I don't know how I'd be able to handle that.. I'd rather die before her but I don't want her to have to deal with that. With me dying I think I am more afraid of the way I die then death itself.

Good grief.
I don't fear death but hearing about it makes me sad. Hearing about it was hard on me after my grandpa died back in May.

Yes, I live in fear of my grandma just dying in her sleep everyday, she's constantly sick and we're always doing what we can to support her.
My mother already died of an enlarged heart, I don't like death

I'm so sorry you had to experience that
I hope you found solace in that she is now in a better place and no longer suffering.
I fear death tremendously. I fear it for others around me as well as myself, each morning I tell my partner to be careful and that I love him because death can happen at any time and I am so damn scared of it.

So sorry about your mother
I'm not afraid if I have to die. I already chose to accept my fate. I just don't care at all as to what happens to me.
I'm afraid of the death of people close of me, though. I'm very dependent on those close to me. ._.

I'm not afraid of dying but the idea of losing the people I love is crazy overwhelming sometimes, it makes me really panicky My dad has been really sick for years and every time his name pops up on my phone I have a little freak out

I always felt like this to. Now that I`m 33 and a bit older, I don`t fear it that much and went from a preferation for burial to a preferation for cremation. I think its a natural thing that when you get older and built up experiences around this topic, sad as it may be, you kinda grow out of that way of thinking.
However, years ago I heard in Sweden they had this machine that could freeze your body to an incredible low temperature and then "shake" you to dust. I don`t know if a Scandanavian person can confirm this, but this would be cool as hell!
