I'm more afraid of living than dying because I've had a major suicidal depression and self-harming thoughts and feelings before. Life has been feeling like a drag, a burden to even wake up and breath. When life seems as hard, though, or difficult, like a bottomless pit of despair, misery and suffering, you'll want to end it in a flash instant. That's how I've been feeling about 8-9 years ago for about 6 months myself and I have even attempted suicide and self-harm many times before at 24-25 years old, hating on my human nature, hating on everything about myself and my own current life and humanity. I'm scared of changes and unpredictability, loving more stability, calm and peace more than anything else. Hence why except for a walk, meditation and yoga outside my private lane by my home, I haven't talked to anyone else irl except online.

I'm an Atheist. I don't believe in deities or anything supernatural. Therefor don't believe in an afterlife. To answer the question, yes I am afraid to die because I feel that death is final and I want to enjoy my life as much as I can.

I have so much I haven't done and so much I want to do. So many people that would be affected by my loss. I don't want to put anyone through something like that if it can be prevented.

I know death is inevitable but if I can choose to die of old age then I'd choose that over anything else. So to answer your question, yes I fear death.

I do hope that when I die, that I die peacefully in my sleep. I don't want my death to be in agony when I die. That's what scares me more than anything. I don't want to suffer a great deal when my time comes.

A wise man once said (from the gladiator) death comes for us all, all a man can really do is smile back.

To be honest death is taken ten fold from the beginning of time how many people are alive. If a man/woman wants to ascend from the ordinary life they live they must think outside the box. If you atheist/don't believe you have my respect but I only wish you would at the very least go in search of something more. It's almost like a mans myth from the very beginning, to be in search of his purpose. To go in search of why you were put on this earth and the reason why you are here. That question of why is what I will at the very least wish later in life the possibility may be considered. I don't rub my beliefs off on people but I am indeed a Christian.

There's no reason to be afraid of death. Do I fear it? I don't fear what might happen after but I do fear the the thought of being taken away from my family and removed from life on the earth. I have little fears but I suppose one of them is that.

What's death gonna do? Kill me?

It's really sad how little people know about nutrition and health in general. So many people keep making things worse because they don't see how much better life is if you're healthy, and how little it actually takes to be healthy.

There's all this misinformation and pseudoscience making weight loss and training out to be these super complicated endeavours that scare people away, while the reality everyone seems to be fighting against is so much simpler. All you have to do is spend a little bit of time learning which foods contain the most calories, and half an hour at the gym 2-3 times per week and you'll be shedding weight like nobody's business. The gym isn't even necessary, it's just a bonus. Physical activity of some form is necessary though, but not that much. Yet every time someone brings this up there's all these bullshit excuses like genetics, thyroid something or other, or whatever. Then there are 10 people swearing that keto is the only way to lose weight, while 10 others swear that the exact opposite is the only thing that works, and everyone's refusing to see the painfully obvious fact that the common denominator for all of them is they limit how many calories you consume.

I'm a Christian so I'm not afraid of death. I'm not ready for death though and that's because I know my daughter an family still need me around and I enjoy being around them.

When I was diagnosed with cancer, it frightened me to have to go through treatment. But I also felt that if the treatment would get too rough that I would welcome death.

I've seen this plenty of times from my own family, I hope you're doing alright.

Yes! I'm doing great now, thank you. I still see my surgeon and get cat scans to make sure everything is clear and I haven't had any recurrences.

I hope that your family members have been able to get through it all okay?

Cancer is a terrible thing. My grandfather just died and my Grandma (his wife) now has cancer. She's in her 70s and it breaks my heart because she's one of the greatest hearted and faithful Christians I've ever known. I look to her for guidance and there hasn't been not one time that I haven't seen her for the woman of faith she is. Looking at this from her perspective I know for a fact that she's scared and badly. I only wish I could consulate her stress so she knows that when it's her time to go then God will be ready for her and she'll be with my Grandfather again.

Not scared of dying and leaving this world behind. The only thing that does bug me is the way I would die. I would prefer to die peacefully in my sleep or something without suffering at all.

Not scared of it at all, i'm a firm believer that there is something else after this life.
I really look at things like humanity for instance, we are perfected and tested for the next phase of life, look at our planet, another perfection and test, i could go on but to answer the question no i'm not.

But what makes "us" so special? Dolphins are apparently self-aware and live in family units. What happens when they die? Or other animals? Why do humans get to have an "afterlife"? And if you reference religion, humans and other life existed for thousands and even millions of years before this so called "Jesus". Just something to think about. :)

I'm a bit scared of that moment.

I don't know if there is anything that comes after it, I'm 99% certain that there is not, but none of us can really know. So I can't be scared of that, but the moment of death.... I'm nervous about that, would be nice to just go in my sleep.

While I’m not religious I do believe that there is an after life so I’m not scared at all, it’s going to happen whether I like it or not.
