I'm not afread of the death, however I'm afraid of the pain.
Pretty much this. Death comes inevitably.
I believe that death is a state of nothingness (think of your existence or lack thereof prior to being conceived). Hence, I do not fear it; there is literally nothing to fear. However, I am fearful of it being caused by a slow and/ or painful experience. Having said that, I'd like to live forever (even though I'm miserable).
it is easy to say you are not afraid of death because they are not expecting it in any moment
but in reality, all those who are saying they arent afraid, will be when the time come
I am afraid of death, but I am mostly afraid of the death of the people around me more

i'm hoping Physician Assisted Suicide is legal by the time i'm dying for i can skip the pain of death and i myself am an atheist so the way i see it when i die my consciousness wont exist anymore which i find sad
Why fear death? In fearing death I am already dead so that is why I choose to not think about death.
Not really. It's inevitable. Everyone is going to die some day, so why waste time being afraid of it? However, thinking about people I care about and how they might die before I do is horrifying.
No, I am afraid of going to hell. To me, being alive in this corrupted world is worse compared to how people feel about death. I used to care about not being able to live forever, but that was when I was younger.
nope. i mean, i would be terrified if i felt that death were imminent. however, i have no expectations of dying anytime soon so it's not on my mind.
I think if anything I am more afraid of how I will die, will it be painful? Leaving behind my loves one makes me sad, knowing all the people I've known will one day be forgotten.
I am ok with death, but don't want to go anytime soon. I mean I was dead for so long it never bothered me. I didn't have a conciousness until I was born. It does make me think about life and the meaning of it, everything we accomplish will one day be all gone and mean nothing.

Which is why there's nothing wrong with rawdogging hot hookers despite the possibility of contracting STDs.
I guess I am, yes. Being me and seeing the world through my eyes is all I have ever known of. It is hard and troublesome imagining that I'm not going to exist at some point.
Especially if my end comes as a result of an illness which is going to be painful both physically and psychologically.

Cause that would be a sh*t stressful way to live
Cross that bridge when you get to it
^pretty much this. Because death means nothing on me,but greater mishap some time in the unpredicted future
lol.
Everyone is afraid of death in some way, shape, or form. At least, if you're young and healthy. It's a natural biological function of ALL of us - Humans - to want to LIVE. To think. To breathe. To be.
Death is terrifying to me as a 24 year old just getting started on making a life for myself. The great thing is...there's this thing later on down the road. It's known in psychology as (rough recollection here, so it might not be the right term exactly) "Pride VS Regret" and then later on in life "Fulfillment VS Despair".
Essentially, when the time comes for us to die, if we've lived a full life, done good things, and we've become the person we set out to be when we were younger, we accept death and are open to it. But if we don't accomplish ANY of those things? Well, we regret our lives, wish we could go back, and live out our last days in despair.
I think by the time I'm 80+ years old, I'll be fine.
But, hey, maybe Ray Kurzwell is right, and the Singularity IS near, and we'll have live forever! lol.
Yes, I am afraid of feeling nothing, even if it means no pain. I like to hope consciousness is transferred to another body when one dies, or even an afterlife of some sort. After experiencing life, even though I am young, I'd hate to not exist for eternity when I die. It is scary. I'm not afraid of the pain though. I'd much rather have a slow painful death where I can say goodbye to friends and family, and have my last contemplation on life, then die instantly with no warning.
i'm afraid of dying before we discover immortality
I'm a bit annoyed and jealous about that idea as well.
