Current Events > Honestly, the thought of dying is just terrifying

(+) Yeah! (+)

I know, everyone and everything dies eventually, but it's just hard to take it all in you know. I may or may not be reincarnated, and death is final, there is no coming back from it. Whether I live until I'm 100, or I get killed in a freak accident, all death is equal. I'm young now but with every passing birthday it's just more years off of my life.

Now, I'm a man of science, I believe in the process, not religious teachings. Do I think I'll be reincarnated and given a new conscience? Maybe, nobody knows for sure. My life is very insignificant in the history of man, nobody will remember me after I'm gone for a while unless I shape up and do something worth remembering.

I guess this idea of getting older has made me more reckless and forthcoming in my attitude. I've noticed that I've been more outwardly flirty and confident in myself which seems to just attract people to me, I even have a few "occasions" coming up with some female coworkers. But... I want to live like this forever, I don't want to disappear

Meh, death is just another inevitability so I don't sweat it.

It's fucking bullshit tho.
Like imagine everyone that has died the past few years waiting for kingdom hearts.
If I would die now I would never know what One Piece was.
I'm scared shit less and I really hope I don't die I want to prevent dying..
Fuck

No you don't man. It gets worse every year.

You won't know you died. Everyone that has died don't know they died. As long as you can formulate thoughts, you are alive. I hope this brings some comfort.

That's why there's no point worrying about it or most things really.

I am more afraid of how it will happen rather than that it will happen.
---

meh it's not a big deal really. plus once I'm dead it's not like I can be sad about it. I'll be dead

sweet release from the mortal coil. :v i hope reincarnation is real and I get to come back as something else. I'd love to be a honeybadger.

you get over it.

and as you lose people who matter to you, you stop really seeing it as losing out on something awesome.

I want to know how One Piece ends

of course I'm like 30 years younger than the author but still

I'm 30 and it's cool if I die, my glory days have passed me. Nothing good comes after 30

I just want to out live my parents tbh

Interesting.

There are times i feel dead. Like nobody else is aware of themselves like i Am. Theyre bots more or less living out a script of what my subconsciousness saw throughout my life. I notice familiar people. Either they look the same or have something else that reminds me of them. Its weird cause they never met Yet, have features i can identify with on a personal level. There are no strangers Anymore.

So i wonder if i am dead at these times. Something waiting for me to say i am done now, whats next...

I was caught in a riptide in oregon lil over a decade ago. I was caught in it and was swept out into the ocean. I actually panicked and burned myself out. I tried kick myself up from the bottom but didnt take a proper breath. I was out farther and the floor was deeper than i thought. I remember looking up and not seeing the ceiling of the ocean.

So i recall everything becoming blurry While underwater. i had held my breath. My neck and shoulders were burning from exhaustion. My arms and legs were fatigued. I just stopped and felt a relief from my body. A haze was the last thing i saw. Then everything clearing up like a portrait. I was amazed at it. I was no longer in pain or felt tired. Everything in slow motion And clearing up. My awareness with my surrounding multiplied to levels. like drug induced levels. I looked at my hands and how it made an afterimage as i moved it. I saw the ocean floor. It was a warm dark color detailed in coral and the blue ocean water. I feel myself rise but i see a figure under Me. ...it was me. That moment framed in my mind. I dont know when i closed my eyes but the next sense i heard was my friend calling out to me. I open my eyes at the faint voice and swim up. I found myself renewed. The exhaustion hit me again as i swam back with everything i had left.

i find myself reflecting on it a bit too much these past few years. Did i die Back then. If i did What i am doing here.

I dont know if ill be terrified of dying. I feel like i am not but that can change when that time comes.

I'm 31 and I sort of feel like this too. I know I'm technically still young and very capable but it really doesn't feel that way. I miss having less responsibilities and when everything was fun and full of adventure. Life seems pretty damn mundane now, like a hollow shell of its former self. Just going through the motions, no new experiences, etc.

For me the scariest thing is just getting old. To the point where you are noticeably weaker and less capable. Why would I want to live to be old if I'm just going to be a weaker, sicker version of myself? Quality over quantity all the way.

I take comfort that billions of years passed before I existed and I felt nothing, so I know I won't suffer by not existing for the rest of time after life.
