What's the main reasons and the most common reasons people have death anxiety? #Death #Dead #DeathAnxiety

Death anxiety = Strong fear of both death and the thought of death. The fear may have different causes depending on the person.

My Opinion:
I think fear of death isn't always related to not existing itself or the pain in the dying process, but rather other underlying problems in life like fear of not accomplishing a goal, not succeeding in life, losing your identity (E. g. brain injury, Dementia) making burial day desirable and death reminding you of how bad life quality you've if you're ill. I think chronologically bored individuals and people who are ill usually fears death because of it reminds them on how much time they've wasted on things they doesn't enjoy. I'm not surprised if most people committing suicide or euthanasia have death anxiety of some forms. I don't think the fear of Hell, judgment day etc. are as common now as in the past.

From my experience existential crisis and problems with being an existential nihilistic atheist are questions about life quality, meaningfulness of what you're doing and if you enjoys your life or not. Far fewer would dream of immortality in an afterlife if Earth was a good place to live in with less suffering. The concept of Heaven wouldn't exist then and fewer people would be afraid of death. Then death wouldn't remind them of how terrible lives some have.
