Are you afraid of death, /x/?

>>17868560
If I think hard enough about it I'm terrified, but on a superficial level it seems like the only way to truly obtain peace.

My own? No. The deaths of those I care about? Scared shitless.

>>17868560
Are you afraid of facing everything you've put to the back of your mind in life?

Because I can see how the fear could build up.

>>17868560
No, I welcome it.

>>17868560
Yes and no. All my family is pretty much dead. Only have my spouse and kids and I am scared of leaving them. My parents died when I was young and so did everyone else. I don't want to put my kids threw what I did.

After all the acid trips I've had I don't really fear anything \_(ツ)_/¯
It's gonna happen sometime anyways who gives a fuck

Do you fear death Mr.Op?

I don't fear death at all. It's what is gonna lead to it that scares the shit outta me.

I'm in peace with death in terms of "this will (and have to some already) happen to everyone, there's no way out of it".
But when I think about life in less selfish ways, the thought of dying young and not having used my life to benefit others, this makes me sad...

>>17868649

>>17868649
Fucking this.

Yes, but if I became focused on it I couldn't deal with life.

I was. But in the last 18 months my fiancee and our daughter have died. After we lost our daughter, we came to terms very quickly with the prospect of our own deaths and, for a time, we intended to commit suicide together. Of course, I never was able to come to terms with the idea of her dying without me but four months after we lost our baby girl, the girl I love was killed in a car accident.

I couldn't give a straight answer as to how I've managed to stay alive this long. It isn't something I'm particularly proud of or that means much. Each night contains the possibility that I'll end up killing myself and if I had to bet or guess, it's probably not likely that I'll make it through the year.

But no, I don't fear death anymore. I wouldn't say I welcome it, but it's going to happen sooner rather than later and nonexistence can not be a worse (or better, but whatever) thing than a life spent grieving for your child and head over heels in love with a dead girl.

I'm not afraid anymore, I've lived happily the last years. I'm just afraid of what will happen to my family and how they'll handle it.

Are you me?

>>17869108
Stay well, anon.

>>17868560
Probably, yes. I like existing. Even if it would be painful, I would cling to life. I would never have someone "pull the plug" on me, and it would be very hard for me to do it for someone else. I cannot grasp the concept of non-existence, henceforth I would not welcome it.

However if I became retarded or otherwise lose what I believe to be myself, I would have others put me down. It would be a mockery of what I used to be and a burden to everyone who knew me.

>>17869994
Well if you went retarded you probably wouldn't even remember wanting to die with dignity unless you've told your close family about it.

>>17870139
I did tell.

>>17868648
Something of note is that if the death is unexpected, then you aren't going to be afraid of it because you simply aren't aware. The second you add a time limit though, large or small, that's when you run into exponential fear. I'm sure if anyone in this thread got shot in the stomach, they would go into shock just as quickly as everybody else. 5 minutes will feel like an eternity.

>>17868560
No. I've accepted death as a part of the human experience, there's nothing to truly gain by dwelling on it.
I am however very curious of what lies beyond death. I believe non-existence lies beyond it, but if it's anything else, I wouldn't be opposed necessarily. There's something tranquil about dying and being at peace with the universe. "At peace" Assuming there is some sort of cosmic constant with human consciousness. If we really are just any other animal on the cosmic level with no intrinsic value to our consciousness on a universal level, then I suppose being at peace objectively doesn't matter after death, we'll just disappear.
That said, I'll retain my belief of being at peace universally when I die. Perhaps even being in a peaceful communion with all the other minds of people who have come before me on some universal level.

Be well, anons.

More than simply death, I am afraid of the bad karma/energy that leaks out to the next life from lifetime to lifetime.

>>17869108
I really hope you can manage to feel good again. I can't imagine being in your position. Good luck, anon.

I'm afraid of life..

>>17869269
And you will deal with it. Whether you deal with it destructively by getting passed out drunk, or by meditating on the feelings, you will still be dealing with them. You'll be living life.

Life is not meant to be easy, you're simply meant to overcome each obstacle as it comes along. However, this is not to say that life cannot be wonderful. Accept and a brace that life is filled with suffering and you will be set free. Next time you feel dread or hopeless, remind yourself that every single other person on the face of this world is playing the same convoluted game that you are.

Without trying to sound melodramatic, thank you to both of you. Unfortunately one of the important things that I lack is a family who is willing to be supportive or understanding, so even the simplest kind words are extraordinarily rare. That takes a heavy toll. Love to both of you.

I want to die as soon as possible. I wish I could die right now, I am not afraid of death even slightly. There's nothing after death, it is all a eternal dreamless sleep, which I love.

>>17869994
Even if you became retarded, you would get even more attention from other people. A trying soul will be trying wherever you put them or whatever you do to them.

If they don't fear you then you are running out of options for controlling them.
The only thing which can hold them back from doing something mad is their choice. Never try to circumvent choice, the only way to counter it is to have none yourself!!!

To him who in the love of Nature holds
Communion with her visible forms, she speaks
A various language; for his gayer hours
She has a voice of gladness, and a smile
And eloquence of beauty, and she glides
Into his darker musings, with a mild
And healing sympathy, that steals away
Their sharpness, ere he is aware. When thoughts
Of the last bitter hour come like a blight
Over thy spirit, and sad images
Of the stern agony, and shroud, and pall,
And breathless darkness, and the narrow house,
Make thee to shudder, and grow sick at heart;—
Go forth, under the open sky, and list
To Nature’s teachings, while from all around—
Earth and her waters, and the depths of air—
Comes a still voice—

>>17871807
Yet a few days, and thee
The all-beholding sun shall see no more
In all his course; nor yet in the cold ground,
Where thy pale form was laid, with many tears,
Nor in the embrace of ocean, shall exist
Thy image. Earth, that nourished thee, shall claim
Thy growth, to be resolved to earth again,
And, lost each human trace, surrendering up
Thine individual being, shalt thou go
To mix for ever with the elements,
To be a brother to the insensible rock
And to the sluggish clod, which the rude swain
Turns with his share, and treads upon. The oak
Shall send his roots abroad, and pierce thy mould.

>>17871808
Yet not to thine eternal resting-place
Shalt thou retire alone, nor couldst thou wish
Couch more magnificent. Thou shalt lie down
With patriarchs of the infant world—with kings,
The powerful of the earth—the wise, the good,
Fair forms, and hoary seers of ages past,
All in one mighty sepulchre. The hills
Rock-ribbed and ancient as the sun,—the vales
Stretching in pensive quietness between;
The venerable woods—rivers that move
In majesty, and the complaining brooks
That make the meadows green; and, poured round all,
Old Ocean’s gray and melancholy waste,—
Are but the solemn decorations all
Of the great tomb of man. The golden sun,
The planets, all the infinite host of heaven,
Are shining on the sad abodes of death,
Through the still lapse of ages. All that tread
The globe are but a handful to the tribes
That slumber in its bosom.—Take the wings
Of morning, pierce the Barcan wilderness,
Or lose thyself in the continuous woods
Where rolls the Oregon, and hears no sound,
Save his own dashings—yet the dead are there:

>>17871814
And millions in those solitudes, since first
The flight of years began, have laid them down
In their last sleep—the dead reign there alone.
So shalt thou rest, and what if thou withdraw
In silence from the living, and no friend
Take note of thy departure? All that breathe
Will share thy destiny. The gay will laugh
When thou art gone, the solemn brood of care
Plod on, and each one as before will chase
His favorite phantom; yet all these shall leave
Their mirth and their employments, and shall come
And make their bed with thee. As the long train
Of ages glide away, the sons of men,
The youth in life’s green spring, and he who goes
In the full strength of years, matron and maid,
The speechless babe, and the gray-headed man—
Shall one by one be gathered to thy side,
By those, who in their turn shall follow them.

>>17868560

This picture always reminds me of the show Undergrads.

>>17871817
So live, that when thy summons comes to join
The innumerable caravan, which moves
To that mysterious realm, where each shall take
His chamber in the silent halls of death,
Thou go not, like the quarry-slave at night,
Scourged to his dungeon, but, sustained and soothed
By an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave,
Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch
About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams.

I can't imagine the pain you've been through but stick with it, if not for yourself then for them. Take up a hobby or get involved with something to, as sad as it may sound, give your life a bit more meaning whilst you heal emotionally. You say you lack a supportive family, this is exactly the kind of thing they'd say to you. You're extremely brave and you know the family you've lost would want you to live on.

Yes and no. Yes because of the potential pain it would cause physically and the anguish it would cause my loved ones; no because while I don't know it's exact nature, I do believe in some kind of afterlife, so that should be interesting.

Spot the 14 year old

Not per se. I fear how my death would affect those close to me. (Which is why I haven't killed myself yet)

>>17868649
Also this

lately I've had the thought that, holy shit, if I died now, people would look upon my life so fucking sadly

so I wanna clean it up some before I kick it

I am afraid of death, only because I'm not sure which side I'll end up on.
I was in a bad relationship two years ago, and my boyfriend at the time was physically abusive. One night he snapped (I forget what he was mad about now but it was something small and unimportant) and began to choke me. I struggled and fought him and tried to breath and slowly slipped out of consciousness. I'm not sure if I was dying..but it was a feeling I've never had before so it's hard to explain, it was peace and just pure serenity. It was beautiful, I forget what I saw but it was so colorful and light and when he shook me back to I was crying not from what had just happened but because I didn't want to leave. I wanted to go back to wherever I just was.
About a year or so after that I had become increasingly depressed and decided that life wasn't worth it anymore. I took a thick extension cord and walked into the woods to hang myself. I was gone almost immediately, but this time it was different. It felt like hours when it was only minutes, it was pure fear and pain. Again, this is hard to describe it's almost a feeling past this world but it was pure fear. There was screaming and horrible darkness, I felt trapped and frozen surrounded by so much heartache. I came to with my hands clawing at my neck to breath and live.
I'm sure some will say that these were hallucinations brought on by loss of oxygen etc etc but I can't shake the feeling that I glimpsed into heaven and hell.

I think I'd like to experience my own death. I think I'd feel cheated (if I had the capacity to feel, of course) if I died in my sleep. I'd like to see how it happens, to feel it. Even though it doesn't last, I just want to k n o w.


I've been depressed for years and have considered suicide, but I don't want to do that to my family. My brother, mother and father don't deserve that sort of guilt. I don't want to purposely have that effect on someone's life.

Jesus christ, pal.

>>17868560

Not really, no. I'm afraid of pain, but not death itself.

Sometimes I worry about how if I died, I'd make my friends and family really sad, and perhaps push someone over the despair event horizon and into suicide. However, then I remember that every other time someone died in my family, they held a shitty memorial, acted like they cared for a few weeks, and then got on with their lives.

Every time a dead family member gets brought up in my family, it's to see who can out-meme eachother to prove they're the most empathetic and special-snowflakiest of all. It disgusts me.

Example:

>cousin brings up dead grandfather at family gathering
>another cousin shows off the tattoo he got to show how much he loves grandpa
>"OH YEAH, WELL CHECK OUT *MY* TATTOO, I LOVED HIM EVEN MORE"
>shitstorm ensues wherein family members get into a pissing contest to prove they loved grandpa the most when we all know they're just trying to make the conversation about themselves like the narcissistic shit stains that they are

Now that I think about it, I think death is the preferable choice. Won't have to listen to these fuckers anymore.

>>17868649
Same man same

>>17868560
depends on the circumstances, right now I'm pretty scared of it, but if some day I end up terminally ill, in constant agony and unable to wipe my own ass then I'd probably welcome it.

I like to think that what happens after death is what you want it to be.

I want to be reborn and experience life again because this experience was miserable to say the least.

I want to relive my whole life and actually be a good one.
Doesn't have to be me that I'm reborn to, as long as I live a happy life.

>>17868560

Very slightly. And only because I fear I won't make amends in time or something.

>>17868560
lets see, no taxes,no responsibilities,no heartbreak.. Yeah death doesn't seem so bad, it's life that is terrifying. Especially when life only gets harder and more depressing, as a kid you're scared of death because it's detached from you like the thought of killing. It just doesn't register as a normal thing, then you get older and life holds you down and rapes your dreams. Living a nightmare day in and day out and a soul crushing job for a family that doesn't appreciate you. A loveless marriage, your kid's resentment.. Death seems like a motherfuckin vacation.

If death is un-life the yes, I would fear it. But consider that life is the only experience you and I are familiar with. Ignore the crazies that claim they have turned into ghosts or reached an astral realm. How would you define death? Is it non-existence? Or non-experience?

nah i more or less know how death works, and the big thing i worry with that on is:

B: afterwards when reincarnation occurs back to this shitty hell, that i'm gonna be stuck so far in the future everything is a nuclear shithole.
C: that i get the other ending since i'm such a fat lazy fucker normally, i'm not gonna talk about this factor since people who don't know shouldn't know, especially since this is not something you should aim for by any means what so ever.

Im affraid the moment wont be appropriate , but fearing death as an experience is idiotic and childish.

You live your entire life to die once , its got to be pretty amazing or otherwise life is a joke.

>>17877870
not necessarily, sometimes fuckups do happen and people remember their death process at least, usually because something went down. its interesting everyones life is literally catalogued as a hard bound book based on the age you died in the records, with colors corresponding to how you died, such as if yours is blood red it means some punkass murdered your shit in.

>>17877920
Maybe we have an essence which continues, but our experiences are part of this life and world we're living.

Fresh life, fresh mind. If that is what happens anyway. It's not something to be concerned about for me or I'm going to waste my life worrying about the worst things I can imagine instead of living with love. If that's what happens and I waste my life worrying, in which life will I not? In which life will I truelly live? This one is as good as any to live.

>>17877955
fair enough, sometimes its just a complete pain in the ass when you remember things that don't normally make sense, like the scent of her hair, the dance, the theater.........

Personally, I fear death. For decades I exist; I breathe, touch, form opinions, cry and laugh, I exist. Death is, essentially, a state of non-existence- it is something that I can never understand and can neither determine when it will occur. My last thoughts will more than likely be "Oh, this is probably it."
To me, the unknown is terrifying, hence Death is a literal living nightmare to me.

However, what interests me is that fact that humans live with the knowledge that, at some point in time, we will die. We do not neglect this fact or openly deny it since it is a given, we are all completely aware that we will all die. And yet, we (or at least a majority of us) do not stress or panic about this fact- we simply continue living til we die. How do we live calmly with this fact?

Afterlife is that you want it to be.

Not really. I believe I will die at 24-27 just because my life has been bad and I've been close to dying almost my entire life. I'm ready for death.

>>17868560
Not really ....there are many things out of our control . It's the way I might die that scares me . Will it be a long and painful death or a quick and painless one ?

I'm not afraid of death. This whole thing is such a slog, I will be relieved when I finally flicker out. That said, I greatly fear powerlessness and humiliation. I struggle to sleep because I fear I will be attacked. Bad childhood. Often the only way I can sleep is by accepting that when I close my eyes I will die, and there's nothing I can do about it.

Eventually every person who knew you will die. And even if you managed to become crazy famous, you'll just be another name in a textbook that most people won't really care about.

I was raised Christian myself.
I've long since overcome it myself, I think subconsciously, it was my father who allowed me to open my eyes and see the world for myself.
As an animal I fear death, instinctively speaking.
But over time, I've come to understand death and respect it.
Life and death are part of the same cycle, because of this I have come to some solace.
A plant is grown, and is eaten by an animal, giving it energy to move and live.
The animal dies, energy from it is distributed to another animal and back to the soil again.
Never ending, over and over.
energy is never created nor destroyed, just distributed.
Because of this, I choose to believe that there is no real death, only the distribution of energy.
Being able to learn and understand death and it's cycle, something tangible other then some ambiguous afterlife has given me solace in the fact of death.
No matter what happens, even when the earth is dead and gone, our energy will still be floating around somewhere, waiting to be distributed to another planet to grow.

I believe, there is no true death.

I'm scared shitless of death. The world is ugly and terrifying, but also beautiful. Even setting aside the people in it for a moment, there is so much to see and do, yet so little time to see and do it in. I can honestly say I want to live forever. Not because I'm some amazing person, and that I think"lel, that'll never happen to me", but because, selfishly, I love existing too much to ever willingly let go. I love to eat, shit, shower and fuck as much as the next guy, and I don't ever want the ride to end. I almost don't care what it takes, if there was a way to cheat death, save for selling my soul(if it exists, still undecided on that), I would snatch it up within a heartbeat. Nonexistance terrifies me, shakes me to the core, and I can honestly say that I would rather give up my ending(if I could) than face the possibility of nonexistence. Fuck that. It's childish and it's cowardly, but I mean every word of it.

"Men do not fear death; they fear the pain of dying." ~ A.C.G.

In the so-called civilized world every birth and death has to be officially catalogued, if not professionally investigated, as if it would be regarded as suspicious or criminal otherwise.
It's said that in some simpler cultures uncontaminated by technological procedures and preconceptions, childbirth is without a great deal of pain, and probably, barring accident, likewise the end of life is fairly peaceful among these people. Modern anxieties are probably worse than the actual events themselves.

Are you? Mind your own business

Abso-fucking-lutely
I try not to think about it too much. Sometimes I find peace with it when I think about it as just simply disappearing; but that's what makes me freaked out about it even more on the days I don't feel good about it.

The idea that one day I'll have life slipping through my fingertips and have all feeling and my consciousness disappear for good into nothingness, never to come back, scares me and makes me incredibly anxious.

>>17868560

Used to be scared, I'd get butterflies when i thought of a void of nothingness, but I'm not scared anymore, I don't know why. Either that doesn't scare me anymore or it's because I don't believe in nothing anymore.

>>17868560
Death is not something I fear.

Death is natural. Death is the end of the cycle of life.

What I fear is what comes afterwards.

Feathery wings and pillowy clouds? Brimstone, hellfire, and torment? A black void? Life anew?

Death is not the end, but rather the precursor to whatever comes next. Death isn't something to fear, as death is nothing more than the release of life.

No it's not courageous to desire death or don't care about it - it's either mental damage or most likely crass insensitivity. A zone of comfort that is close to autism.

It's truly courageous only when you fight to conserve life and stay alive as much as possible. Without fearing that it wouldn't happen, you wouldn't care about life either.

To be afraid of unconsciousness is to be afraid of sleep. If it's exactly as you say, it wont be painful, scary, sad, lonely... it wont be anything. You'll be "fine" technically. The most profound neutral experience imaginable, nothing.

It's like being asleep without the dreams. If you remember dreams, that means you were conscious during your sleep. That's not death, death is unconsciousness.

>>17873228
I believe you. I also had a NDE when I was in a car crash. It was a head-on collision and I hit the steering wheel hard, blood everywhere. I was choking on my own blood until the pain ended. I felt warm light, surrounded by this beautiful sound and this overwhelming feeling of peace and happiness. I felt that light drawing me in until the paramedics flipped me over and I vomited all the blood back out and began to breathe again. I'm not religious but there's something after this. We just won't know until it happens.

No because I accept the reality that we all physically die at some point and there is nothing we can do about it.

I'm not scared of being dead.
i'm scared of the way I'll die.

People have been wanting to stay alive since the brain has wanted to stay alive. There has been trillions of life forms that have wanted to stay alive before me but have died. Their death is nothing more than spreading their atoms back into the cycle of life.We all want to stay alive but unfortunately our current mathematical make up only allows us to be alive for a certain time. We will die. Our atoms will go elsewhere. But eventually the same atoms that have created us will be there again to create us. The next cosmic cycle awaits us. Should we decide from a trillion trillion "earth" years from now that we can change or are we going to do the same things again? We will do the same things. Our brains are wired with pure mathematical origins. We will be born under different atoms and we will be born by the same atoms. The only escape is understanding that it takes the pure death of a network of atoms to allow a greater and better network of atoms by the same atoms that has created you, to achieve something bigger and better. The real understanding here is that our atoms in these "living" times is temporarily to the per atom interaction. Meaning we live and die a trillion times with each breath we take. Once that is understood, we can rest with the thought of death.

I'm not afraid of being dead.

I'm just afraid of the process that might get me there.

I don't want to have some terribly painful incident that causes me to bleed out slowly and have to face my impending doom while fully conscious for a long period of time.

If it's quick, I'm cool with it.

>>17868560
Very much so. I hate thinking about it. The worst part is that I can't really think of a good end.

I don't want to die and dissappear and become nothing, but at the same time I don't want to have to live forever in the afterlife/reincarnation.

Whatever will be will be and I don't get to choose between the two, but even if I could I don't like either, and logically there are no other options.

It all fills me with dread desu

I just don't have the energy to care about living or dying anymore so I mean I don't really care either way

Not at all. To the point where I don't care even if loved ones pass. Not because I'm a prick, but because I know there's only one thing that dies, that disappears, and thats the ego, the thought of ones self.

Its literally a joke that you ( not your ego) plays on yourself for very good reasons.

I mean, its so simple, if you didn't convince yourself that you one day would cease to exist then this wouldn't be fun at all.

It likes to pretend, it likes to play.

However, if you mean does your ego die, your thought of yourself. Then yes, that will happen, but thats just a thought.


Don't worry you will remember.

You are afraid of death in some way, not just the pain that comes with it or that your family has, but the actual act of transitioning from existence to non existence. That's where all pain stems from. It's that process that cause things like the grim reaper through fear. The grim reaper was created to put some kind of a face on death, because it's the most mysterious thing and terrifies all people on some level.

>>17897958

>>17868560
There are 2 big reasons why I fear death.

1. Because there is no way to learn anything about it. This scares me shitless because one of the things I like a lot in life is 'knowing' things. Not being able to do everything and knowing the ins and outs of everything out there, but just knowing and learning about it. There's no way to learn anything about death.

2. Because there are many, many things I want to do in this world. Too many. Enough that there's no physical way for me achieve everything I want before death. Death is the end of my time, and I desperately need more time.

I don't necessarily fear or care about death or how I die. But I'm scared shitless of running out of time before I satisfy my desire for knowledge and experience, which is 100% guaranteed to happen. And I can do nothing about it.

Death is the only way I'll ever be able to experience my most cherished fantasies, providing there exists an enjoyable afterlife that doesn't involve some bearded twat breathing down my neck, eternal torture or complete nothingness. I'm too paralyzed by mental illnesses, anxiety, shit genetics and social retardedness to enjoy a life worth living so I see death as some kind of potential reward, or returning Home. I still have days when the fear of death, or the death of the few people in life I care about terrifies me.


Its like 4 am here so this probs just sounds like incoherent ramblings, whatevs.

I'm not afraid of death more afraid of how I die like I don't wanna die of some painfull ass heart attack alone at home like laying here knowing I'm dying or some shit like that.

>>17868560
not what comes after we go through the process of dying, we all do it, as the old saying goes you never get out of life alive.
But the action of being killed violently, or rather that transition into death, the uncertainty of it is rather chilling.
I guess it really doesn't matter though if atheist are right, just goes to nothingness from there, we wouldn't even be able to comprehend the nothingness because we'd be literally non-existent.

I want death. Not because of some edgy dispute I have with mommy and daddy tho. I'm just tired of kids fearing me. People asking what happened to me. Women won't want to know me because of how nervous I make them. My face and personality are just a caricature of what I used to be. I hear the people I thought accepted me talk about me like I'm a goddamn animal. I just want to see the other side, and maybe it could be less lonely.

O God: for in thee doe I put my trust.
O my soule, thou hast sayd unto the Lord, Thou art my Lord: my goodnes extendeth not to thee:
But to the Saints, that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.
Their sorrowes shalbe multiplied, that hasten after another God: their drinke offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lippes.
The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance, and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.
The lines are fallen unto mee in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.
I will blesse the Lord, who hath given me counsell: my reines also instruct me in the night seasons.
I haue set the Lord alwaies before me: because hee is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory reioyceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.
For thou wilt not leave my soule in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine holy one to see corruption.
Thou wilt shewe me the path of life: in thy presence is fulnesse of joy, at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

Well, either there's something or there's nothing. What is 'nothing', anyway? If you don't exist, you can't experience it. So there's no harm. We have no idea what's after death, so it's not worth worrying about now, especially when you're still young. When it comes, it comes. Part of me is just really curious more than scared.

With the advent of digital media, we've seen more by now than our ancestors did for most of their lives. That phrase kinda loses meaning when you can see so much of the world only by typing a few words into a search box. Minds me of what I tell a few people every once in while. "Age is only as old as you feel, but I should probably be in a retirement home by now." And I'm just a few months short of 21.

not really

Death is great but sad for your friends. Period.
Death is awakening
