I haven't been afraid of death for a few years.

I've been living on borrowed time ever since I woke up from two weeks in a coma after a head injury.

I have brain damage and I lost year of memory so there is nothing left for me to fear!

Discover immortality? Is this a sci-fi movie joke reference?

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).

I'm not afraid of death, it just makes me sad knowing one day I will die...

The way I will die is a different story though. I just hope there is as little pain as possible when it happens...

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 not at all afraid of death, but I am sort of afraid of dying. The destination may not be unpleasant, but I fear that the process of getting there may hurt like hell.

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.

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.

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.

I'd say no but it doesn't mean I wouldn't fight tooth and nail to prevent myself from dying.

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.

Like Tyler Durden says "If you are afraid of death,you are useless. If you must know,not fear,know that someday your going to die."
