If death scares you, you haven't put a mark on this world you are proud of. You haven't even faced it and are fearful of it? In many ways facing it over and over culls that fear, but I can say it never really spooked me ever over all.
 
I'm not sacred of dying, I'm scared of leaving those that I love behind and having them mourn over my death. Had to see my late great uncle go through the final stages of his life, held his hand to the end to ensure he died peacefully by his side when, he passed. My uncle went through hell and back in WW2 and would talk about how much of an absolute hell the battle off Samar was. But that day he passed I saw genuine fear in his eyes. When you see death up close and personal, especially when its a loved one, it changes your perception of life and really makes you appreciate it a hell of a lot fucking more

My only marks on this world are those of an autistic class clown, not much to show off. I'll have to test your theory.

I can't begin to imagine what he went through. Your uncle must've been a strong man. :feels: for you. I imagine dying was more terrifying than hell.

The intresting thing about facing or thinking about death is that it really snaps everything else into perspective.

Not really, I'd appreciate the rest tbh. What really scares me is the inability to die.
 
I like what Socrates thought on Death, that's it's stupid to be scared of it because you're scared of the unknown essentially.

Dying though, that's a different matter. That is very terrifying.

I'm not really afraid of dying but I don't want to suddenly die in a way that would be horrible for my family and friends. I'm mostly worried for them, and I also want to be able to finish some projects before I go. I want to find out exactly what happens at the end, but I don't want to go a grisly, painful way. Though, I'm more frightened of getting a head injury and becoming r.etarded than dying.

Inability to die as in 'souls/afterlife/reincarnation is a thing and there's no getting off this ride' or 'I'm on life-support and just functional enough to know it'?

Lets answer that question with another question

Which one would be worse?
 
I have lost most of my family to deaths and it's been no barrier for me to still interact with them through my usual messing with the occult. I know I'll one day be like these spirits, and someone who reads my books will probably try to summon me up, and most likely kids messing around like I did when I started. Every religion pretty much says the same thing about the soul being immortal and there being some sort of afterlife, but my personal beliefs offer a choice to move on or reincarnate for another round. If souls can't get drunk on offerings of whisky, I'll be back for that next round.

I'm desensitize by seeing death on the internet but actually going through the process would scare me, what happens after I die, I don't care about it at all it's just the thought of how I would die is that I'm more concerned about.

I am not afraid of death itself, but am afraid of the way I die. Once I can't take care of myself anymore, I am going to have a final cage deathmatch.

But as far as death itself, once I am dead, I am dead. For all I care, just throw me in the trash

I don't fear death. I don't seek it, but I don't fear it either.

If anything, I'd welcome it given how utterly fucked up this world we live in has become.
If you're posting on this website right now chances are you are living in the best time and place in history. Suck it up, butter cup. You could be flayed and sitting in a slowly dying pile of Akkadians that pissed off the Assyrian army. You could be watching all your teeth fall out from scurvy while that strange pain in your leg that you don't know is an untreatable blood clot makes it feel like someone jammed an obsidian dagger in there in stone age Europe. You could be being gangraped by some random Mongol nomads.

But you're not, you're shitposting on a site that exists to make fun of autists. Presumably in a room with air conditioning, and a full belly.

I suppose you are right. Yeah, things may suck today but you are right, it was a lot worse back then. Like you said, I'm on the internet in a place with easy access to food, clean running water, and electricity and not wasting away in a filthy shack dying of bubonic plague.

I was just really depressed and upset at the time I made that post, and I apologize for my idiocy and melodrama.

Statistically speaking, humanity does not have a 100% death rate. There are billions of humans that have never died, and that will be true throughout all of human existence.

I don't know that I fear death, after all, I don't know what exactly it even is. If it is what I think it is, simple non-existence, I don't fear it. Dying could be pretty horrible though, so I guess that's kinda scary.
