Not at all , not saying I want to die , but if it happened I would be ok with it at this point in my life , for the past year and a half my life has been going downhill , after I lost my mom and my oldest brother , then I was laid off from my job , that I enjoyed and been actively seeking work for the past 7 months now and having no lick whatsoever , it just blows my mind on how hard it is today to land a friggin decent paying job , Money is now getting tight and I can barely pay my bills , I feel like I worked my whole life to get me pretty much no where , it just blows my mind on how pathetic this country has become, so leaving this Earth doesn’t sound like a bad option at this point for me. I experienced enough of it honestly. My happiness is slowly fading away to the point it’s going to take a miracle to make me feel happy again.

I'm afraid of not getting to do all the things I want to do. Running out of time. Dying before I'm "ready" but I'm not afraid of the concept of death itself. If I reach a point in life where I feel like I've done most of the things I wanted to experience and I'm content then I feel like I won't be afraid of death. Maybe a little because we're programmed to fight it to the end but not truly afraid.

But I've made so much progress over my life so far and I still have more to accomplish I would feel disappointed and sad and loss, if I died right now because I'm doing well and I want to stay on this ride longer.

It depends on the way that death happens and how long it takes. I believe in heaven and hell and I think being a bad person is more dangerous than getting diagnosed with stomach cancer.

coxoabean · Accepted Answer

No, I'm not because I KNOW I'm going to heaven when I die. Thank the Lord for salvation and a wonderful peace that allows me to never fear death

Sonorous · Answer

I'm am not afraid of death. I am afraid of the pain that is often paired with it. Through any form. Experienced by any being.

Nik1hil · Answer

Everyone is afraid of death. It is an instinctive fear. If you did not have a fear of death, you would be mentally ill.

But if you look deeply, We are all afraid of "Uncertain death", We all want to greet death when we have lived a long, prosperous, healthy, and meaningful life. At least till the age of 90.
+100 Most of us will not want to live, to be not able to walk, not able to hear, shit in our bed. Now that is a horrible life, and most of us will prefer death.

sawno · Answer

Its funny how gag displays the trigger warner after the super bold letters you read first haha. But no I am not afraid of death at all, neither am I suicidal. Life is an experience for me to experience and after that I return to whatever world we came from if any.

Berethor · Answer

Who not a afraid of death? the sick muslims who flew the planes into the twin towers?

MikeTheBartender · Answer

No. I want to live long, but if I died tonight I know I lived life 90 percent to the max. Not 100 because the hours I worked. Hoping that by killing myself and my body earlier w work that if I die then years from now life would be 100 to the max.

Benjiman19 · Answer

No. It's a natural part of our lives. We are born, we live for however long as we can and then drop off a ladder and fall to our deaths. Probably not that last part, but we will all die at some point and I don't feel there should be any fear of it at all.

Now, car crash or something like that, I can understand being scared during that event. But to fear death after the event, why? I am at peace with myself and my choices in life.

OfMiceandMen · Answer

Not really, there are things I would still like to do and hope it doesn't happen anytime soon, but if it happens it happens. I've certainly lived longer than some people I know and it broke my heart to see them go so young.

FreyaRed · Answer

I'm not afraid of death that comes suddenly and unexpected, but death that takes over months or years daily a small piece of life, this death scares me.

avery58 · Answer

Yes since I don't know what happens after. Reincarnation would suck. I don't want a new life with a new family and loved ones.  And also the idea of nothingness is kind of scary as well.

Nikki1989 · Answer

No, not at all. Being maggot food doesn't scare me.

lil_will_12 · Answer

Not right now, no death can happen at any moment, in my opinion you need to accept that fact to be able to live without worry. (The fact itself is worrying tho💀)

Bricealan · Answer

I'm afraid of 'not being able to live anymore" - but yes, I too, like "Sonorous' below, fear what may precede my death, i. e. pain and the dread of it all.

Telekinetic-Potato · Answer

Nope. We're born, we live, we die.  I'm more afraid of having too many regrets when I die than death itself.

Jennz6 · Answer

To be absent from the body you will be close to the Lord

menina · Answer

I am. I know it's something I won't be able to avoid but I don't know what happens next or if anything happens at all, so yes I find it scary.

katiesmuff · Answer

No sense in being afraid of it as all of us will get there one day!

Agape93 · Answer

Nope, most of the time I welcome it, and a few times I tried to greet it.

Billlewis · Answer

No, because I've already lived the life of probably four or five people.

7Phoenix7 · Answer

I'm not afraid of it but I'm definitely not ready for it.

lightbulb27 · Answer

that'st he power of christ to take that, but fear of long suffering yes.

bobby_bush_eater · Answer

At times I get random anxiety over it, not so much for death itself but that if it happens early and I don't have children or finish some of my personal goals. That I do fear

Anonymous · Answer

A bit the past week but that's because I'm getting my tits clamped in a few days.

Anonymous · Answer

Yes. Everyone is to a certain extent. That’s why we want to build a name for ourselves, that’s why we are scared of losing our jobs or losing money. That’s why we are anxious and stressed. That’s why we take care of our children.

ChiTown33 · Answer

The more an more I live no. The longer I live the more people I care about are on the other side.

exitseven · Answer

I wasn't before but now I might be a little. Maybe because life is better today.

DJB72 · Answer

What's after  this  life, no. The  process  of getting there, a little.

Emanon25 · Answer

Not at all, everyone is going, we’re like riding a train and everyone is just waiting for his or her stop to get off.

Staximus · Answer

All the stupid dangerous shit I used to do would indicate I didn't but I don't want to die so I stopped doing crazy shit

It is not something I look forward to at the moment. But I'm not afraid

No, nearly dying a few times now has put any fear to bed Last time I wrote an impromptu will and testament before calling an ambulance
