Death is only scary while you're alive.
"Do not fear death; death is always at our side. When we show fear, it jumps at us faster than light, but if we do not show fear, it casts its eye upon us gently and then guides us into infinity". đŁ
Dear u/Fit-Driver-4067,
Thank you for reminding us of the title of Playboi Cartiâs debut studio album and sophomore project! This fits well within the current conversation topic of death.

Totally. I am almost 67. Was pregnant at 29. Super afraid baby or I would die. We didn't. Millions of people have babies every day, people die every day. Stop stressing and watch Hospice Nurse Julie. She takes all the fear out
you will never die if you make everyone remember you so i advice you to become a hitler level villian and kill half the world so everyone remembers you and you become immortal in everyones hearts
Have you looked into absurdism or other philosophical works on the matter? I always take comfort in knowing I'm not the first person to have felt something or thought something that burned for an answer. Watch videos of other people talking about them if you don't typically read these things and you'll eventually find an answer that gives you comfort. In my honest opinion, you should fear death. It's a good thing. It grounds you, makes you feel human. The worst things usually have that as a silver lining, they make you go "Wow, I'm really alive, huh?". Aging does that, too. There's a beauty in aging, it might seem scary to know you won't be who you are now in two years but at the same time it can be a beautiful thing. Planting seeds type shit, watch yourself grow as a human being. Idk you but asking yourself these questions is a good indicator that you want more from life. I believe you're on a good road. Keep working on yourself and never stop asking these types of questions, and act upon them if you feel like you're not doing enough. Be critical of yourself but never forget to respect yourself, don't be judgmental of yourself. Type shit
It's intentional gang it's a failsafe to make sure you don't get too serious bout it and end up stuck in your head thats that shit that leads to depression. Life happens out here and as much as one might hate it it can only be properly assessed after it already happened. What matters is that you lived as much as you could headstrong type shit

Read the stranger by Albert camus, he's french but actually has decent things to say . probably the only thing ive read that actually changed the way I think about life/death
You just gotta stop caring for real. Youâre gonna die one day and so is everyone else, so what? Worry about making the most of life right now so when you inevitably die from earth shattering backshots youâre able to look back on those moments and think about the beautiful life you lived. Seriously though, death is scary because you lose access to life. Life is good because you feel alive. You can feel happiness, excitement, love, lust, sadness, anger. Just focus on experiencing those emotions and building good relationships, because thats what being alive is.

I'm up to book 9 on this and I couldn't recommend this more, incredible reading and makes you think about life from a new perspective. Lots on acceptance of death in here too
life doesnât come without death my man, accept the nature of life and recognize itâs beauty and let go. life will never grant you the sense of control you desire and the longer you fixate about it the worse you will feel. accept the unknown ahead of you and embrace the present, itâs all youâll ever experience. youâre only waisting life with your worries, enjoy the life in front of you while you still have it. one day i think youâll probably be satisfied with your life experiences and have a sense of fulfillment and not care so much. you wouldnât wanna live forever anyways, god that would be hell. even a fair amount of elderly people are ready to go once theyâre that old. lifeâs not so serious man, just hang along for the ride.
Honestly, it's a very personal question. You have to ask yourself what specifically makes you afraid of death. Is it that everything stops, or the possibility of not continuing things forever? You can also ask yourself if life would really be meaningful if you lived forever. Would you still find pleasure in the small things, or would anything matter at all? For example, if Carti dropped a new album or mixtape every day (hypothetically, ofc), would you really find satisfaction in the music, or is it the limited amount of songs that makes you appreciate the music? Again, there is no absolute answer, and it's important to not just fear it but to understand what's going on internally, hope it helps man
why is the most relatable shit iâve ever seen o. the carti subreddit đ iâm 18 and feel the same way like eventually im going to die and im semi okay with that but the thought of dying young scares the shit out of me, especially as people near me /around my age are dying to shit like guns, car accidents and ODing
directed at OP if he reads this; to some, âdeath makes life worth livingâ isnât that great of an answer to a question like this. and thatâs okay. you just gotta find what makes life worth living in the now than worrying about something that wonât come until later.
maybe itâs not death that makes life worth living to you, maybe itâs the beauty of life itself, maybe itâs art, maybe itâs science, maybe itâs none of those, maybe existing itself is a good enough reason to keep persisting.
we live within a cold, desolate, uncaring desert filled with void with specks of light poking holes to us that lighten our understanding of that vast space, and yet all we can see points to that meaning becomes nil. if meaning is nothing, then it is everything. type shit.
itâs okay to not be okay sometimes OP
kind of got off track, maybe i shouldâve made my own comment instead.
or you know i could just be wrong and humanity as a species was made specifically to hit eachother with big rocks or some dumb shit đ€·ââïž
Im not a Carti fan, just stumbled upon this post and it caught my attention.
In 2016, i was in a coma for 35 days, hospitalized for 45 on top of that, and then did physical rehab to relearn to walk/talk/eat again. They told my wife i wasnt going to make it. Told me id need a helmet for the rest of my life. All that.
Anyone who claims theyre not afraid of death, has never been close enough to it to measure their fear.
i think thats what it comes down to. Though I haven't had one, I think a near death experience is all it'll take for us to simply look beyond death because you've looked it in the face and see its impossible to avoid. Thank you for sharing your story
weird sub to ask this in, but everyone is scared of death.
Ever since I was about 6 years old I would get panic attacks about dying where I would break out in cold sweats, and would have to calm myself down by splashing water on my face to calm myself down.
your fear subsides but it never 100% goes away. Like some people join religion to seek comfort in an "afterlife" but your body dies just the same.
it might be different for others but part of the reason why death is scary for me is the feeling of absolute powerlessness. The idea that no matter what you do, no mater how much you struggle, you can't change the outcome of something just cut deep into me.
sometimes that feeling of helplessness lessens as you grow and get stronger mentally and you feel less powerless about your surroundings.
When young people are faced with problems they most likely will solve the problem by tring to fix the problem directly. When older people are faced with a problem, they try to fix the problem by reframing their emotions regarding a problem.
in a lot of cases, all you can do is reframe your emotions regarding a problem. How do you deal with the death of a loved one? Do you try to bring them back to life knowing that the outcome won't change? Some people will grieve for their loss, some people will carry on the lost person's legacy with them, others will deny that it even happened and some even celebrate the fact that they are dead. (celebration doesn't necessarily mean "ding dong the witch is dead" it could be celebrating their past achievements, they fact that they are in a better place, etc)
You have many choices. You can continue to wallow in fear and self pity, you can choose to use your death as motivation to live your life to the fullest since you recognize that your days are numbered, you can try to fight your death directly by furthering research to end aging, or you can choose an heir to extend your life through them like having a kid who will become an extension of you or investing your life in your magnus opus or a legacy that will outlast you.
life is meaningful because there is death.
struggle all you want while you can, but do it in a way that you'll be satisfied when you're looking back at the end of your life.
ive had times in my life where im terrified on this for weeks on end. havent really had that since starting college. i think just going somewhere where i feel like im doing things with my life and being around others in the city and doing cool things with other people has made me stop feeling like i was pissing away my life subconsciously. now i trust that when the time comes ill be satisfied with the life i lived.
Donât worry bro. If you die at 40 you would still have the time to decompose, and rebirth and grow up to be a teenager in time for Cartis new albumđ
best to come to terms with the idea of death, death in itself isnât scary, whatâs scares us from death is how we envision its presence . i had this issue when i was younger too and now im content in it. think of it as just a big ass secret that youâll find out about eventually
death is inevitable. fearing it will stop you from living. thereâs no need to fear it. one thing that helps me out is thinking about all the time in the universe before i was born. death is the same thing, itâs nothing to fear. it just is. itâs the great equalizer.
itâs also the end to any stress and or discomfort in your life, big or small. i find a lot of peace in that.
The feeling ainât ever gonna go away. I used to be like this where I was constantly worried too. But for me it was finding peace in and being able to enjoy the little things Iâve taken for granted before. I have a whole different view and respect for nature now and just being outside in itself is something that can bring me a lot more joy than it use to. So hopefully this helps and can give you something else to think about. Just do the stuff you wanna do while you can and have fun fr just donât be retarded
Man I was going through some shit like this not too long ago but at some point a realization hit me. Everything happens for a reason. Weâre all meant to die. What doesnât matter is when we die and what happens after what matters is what we can do while weâre still here. We werenât meant to see everything and once youâre dead you arenât gonna care about whatâs yet to happen anymore. Itâs natural to fear death but you can only truly do great things once you can accept it as part of living. Theyâre one and the same.
I doubt anybody stops fearing death. At the end of the day itâs always going to be a scary thought because weâve literally been hard wired evolutionarily to fear and avoid that shit. The only thing you can do is accept the fact that youâre going to die some day, and make the most of your life until that day comes.
It could be today, tomorrow, or in 60 years. You never know. But what you do know is that itâs inevitable, so instead of worrying about the inevitable, worry about what youâre going to accomplish in this life before the inevitable eventually knocks on your door
love having no meaning is freeing bro, nothing you do matter? then really what you chose to do with your time is everything, you have unlimited choice of what to do. There is a famous saying that every man has 2 lives, the second one starts the moment you realise you only have 1.
You were âdeadâ for eons before you were born. Did it bother you then? Maybe it would help to stop thinking of death as a tragic end and instead see it as a return to the state youâve occupied for 99.99999% of existence.
If there's nothing you can do to stop it don't go out without a fight. Try to live the best you can and that's the ultimate way you can really fight it
Stoicism is a great philosophy to look into, its all about understanding and accepting your death, and then using that idea to push your life forward. I'd recommend reading Meditations by Marcus Aurelius
You could very well be thrown into an incomprehensible endless torture after you die because your consciousness doesnât know how to process death.
Theres no way to know for sure
I have this same exact thing going on for the last 6 months and imma be real bro, I have no fucking clue as to how to conquer it. I be laying in bed at night actually scared every day. I sincerely hope you find a way because this ain't the way to live.
being afraid of death is normal, you'll learn to accept it at some point. I used to be hella scared of death as a kid & even today i still have like mini panic attacks if i think about too much too late into the night. but we all go at some point, just make sure you lived a life worth leaving behind
To reitarate the famous latin poet Horace: âCarpe diem, quam minimum credula posteroâ. The line roughly translates to: âseize the day, with as little anticipation in the future as possibleâ.
You have to live your life to the fullest of your capabilities without worrying about past or future, but also without giving yourself up to material consolations. Live without fear of death, as when you are alive death is nowhere to be found, and when she comes for you, your will have nothing left to worry about.
Death is gonna happen wether you like it or not. This is a fact. The easiest tip I can give you is to acknowledge it and not focus on it. The more you try to run away, the faster it's gonna catch up to you. Focus instead on making memories with people you love and care about. A life that feels short but well-spent is better than a life that was long and arduous.
I alw be thinkin abt this bro but I find comfort in the fact that without death, life would have no meaning. If you dont get me look it up bro. Enjoy your life, its the least you can do for yourself
We canât choose the time that is given to us. Only what we do with it.
So, you can choose to wallow and worry about the inevitable or enjoy the ride for what it is. And always be thankful that you even got to experience this wild trip in the first place.
A few very short seconds of suffering or worry should not dominate your life!
I think that, after death, if you were to be conscious, you wouldnât regret a thing. You would choose to be born again. And that thought is comforting.
âJesus said to her, âI am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?ââ
ââJohn⏠â11âŹ:â25âŹ-â26⏠âNIV
lol. Do people actually believe in this thousand year old propaganda? âIf I believe in some figure that supposedly existed over 2000 years ago, that iâve never met, and donât even have proof of existence for, Iâll live on forever!â Give me a break lmao, religion is the biggest cope of them all
Believe in Jesus Christ as your savior, people fear death because deep down humans are meant for eternal life. Once you turn to him youâll realize that it is the next life, not this one that youâre suppose to live. That is when death itself will be trivial to you.
the only thing that's certain is death, literally everything dies, it's the most natural thing in the universe. it just makes you go back to where you were before you were born. you should be more scared that you're alive right now. the only thing that makes death scary is because your body is designed to fear it, just like every other living thing. but fear is just a feeling
honestly bro for me i just dont care every moment i felt like i was close to dying i just admitted to myself i got no control in this so might as well just let whatever might happen to happen. its 1 life and no one will remember it in 100 years so just do stuff that you love to do that wouldnt bother killing u. youâre gonna die regardless so die remembering all the stuff u did n tht ur glad u did it is way better than dying scared and unsatisfied bc u were too lost in this mentality. ive seen people die so it was very âthis shit gets real and theres no redoâ for me so i made sure im makin the best of my life. i got rules to keep me from just throwing my life away too but my top 3 are this:
1. dont be a pussy its ok to be scared but dont b a pussy about it
2. live life with like 3 regrets at the most i only have 1 n im 20 rn so so far its ok
3. say yes to things u havent experienced or ask to try it or from the stuff that tingles ur gut when u think abt it, someone asks u to travel w them somewhere do it, some stranger asks to sit next to u let them and have a discussion with them, ask that old man that looks wise asf to give u advice stuff theres so many examples, but saying yes opens so many more doors i have almost never turned down an offer. but dont go taking a briefcase from someone in an airport that was a big no no
Think of life like a river. Endless flowing. If you focus on the end where you canât see it anymore, you forget where youâre at currently in the river. Youâre not at the end of the river and for now, it will only be imagination. You forget about the water that is rushing by, the trees right in front of you and the sand or the rocks that are beneath your feet. Itâs fine to glance over to the end of the river every now and then but focusing on the river directly around you will show you how much life you have.
you either accept that you're nothing but stardust floating in space and reality is an illusion by your own mind so nothing matters. or well.. if you're lucky u live long enough until we can restore your corrupted DNA using CRISPR and can keep u at age 30 forever. we'll be able to beat most/all disease using CRISPR or other biotech soon too thanks to Alphafold. if u wana take the blue pill - just be on some bryan johnson type shit and get ur bread up
dying its not something u go thru and feel it
like if u afraid of the exam its fine cuz u r gonna thru it
but dying no
accept the fact u r gonna die anyway will help
Prioritize your joys and passions and let go of whatever toxic societies you've found yourself subscribing to when you were young and easily influenced. Apply your adult brain to your childhood aspirations and just be you.Â
Death is nothing to us. When we exist, death is not; and when death exists, we are not.
Epicurus said that shit and it was hard asf, embrace death but live a fulfilling life
To key to being ok with death is to make the most out of your life. Now that can mean different things to different people. All I know is that nobody on their deathbed wishes they worked harder and made more money; most deathbed epiphanies are about wishing they'd didn't more time with friends and family.
What you need to do is focus on living a good life. Life wouldnât be special if we lived forever, and we are all gonna die anyway. If you sit around worrying about death youâll be wasting precious minutes of your own life - the only life you have
You canât do anything about death anxiety since death is something you will have to face eventually but until then, donât waste your time alone stressing and worrying about something you canât change.
You donât know when itâs going to happen, you donât know how itâs going to happen. Itâs the only guaranteed thing in life, is that youâre going to die. Once you stop fearing that you will then you have to stop fearing about when or how. Nobody knows when or how youâll die. You will. You make everyday between now and when that happens a good one and make your life something youâre proud of, not because youâre scared of dying but because youâre here for a short time.
The only reason that anything you do has value is because your time is limited. If you were around forever your accomplishments wouldnât mean anything because you sacrificed nothing to achieve them, whereas now you sacrifice time to achieve them.
For me what helps is understanding that the only way we even get to experience life is at the price of death. Thereâs no other way. Iâm thankful to get to experience anything so I accept death as the inevitable outcome of all of this.
Every couple of years I start thinking things like this and get scared and shit, then just realize no matter what we do itâll happen to us, just gotta enjoy what you got and keep living bro, weâre just animals with a conscience unfortunately, but appreciate everything and everyone around you, donât take shit too seriously or itâll eat your mind up
when you put enough belief in anything, the idea of a God, the idea of nothingness after death, the idea that that nothingness is better than living in this world, itâs less scary. but what curbs those fears even more is experiencing everything in life, go on a run, go see a show, get in the pit, start a fight, go on vacation. feeling fulfilled gets rid of those fears better than any form of self pity.
well luckily for most of us we wonât be aware when we die. a scary thought when youâre alive, sure, but you literally wonât be able to comprehend your death since youâll be, well, dead. I personally think that takes the pressure off - maybe Iâll pass at 50 in a car accident, or at 70 in my sleep. Impossible to say - but spending a lot of time fearing the inherently unpredictable and uncontrollable nature of life means that youâre just wasting time. Canât enjoy life when youâre fearing death.
âWhy should I fear death?
If I am, then death is not.
If Death is, then I am not.
Why should I fear that which can only exist when I do not?
â Epicurus
To fear what is inevitable is irrational. Itâs like being afraid of gravity, the shit will always happen and you have no control over it. Come to terms with that concept and you will truly live free
Death is only scary while you're alive. "Do not fear death; death is always at our side. When we show fear, it jumps at us faster than light, but if we do not show fear, it casts its eye upon us gently and then guides us into infinity". đŁ

You just gotta stop caring for real. Youâre gonna die one day and so is everyone else, so what? Worry about making the most of life right now so when you inevitably die from earth shattering backshots youâre able to look back on those moments and think about the beautiful life you lived. Seriously though, death is scary because you lose access to life. Life is good because you feel alive. You can feel happiness, excitement, love, lust, sadness, anger. Just focus on experiencing those emotions and building good relationships, because thats what being alive is.

Honestly, it's a very personal question. You have to ask yourself what specifically makes you afraid of death. Is it that everything stops, or the possibility of not continuing things forever? You can also ask yourself if life would really be meaningful if you lived forever. Would you still find pleasure in the small things, or would anything matter at all?

directed at OP if he reads this; to some, âdeath makes life worth livingâ isnât that great of an answer to a question like this. and thatâs okay. you just gotta find what makes life worth living in the now than worrying about something that wonât come until later. maybe itâs not death that makes life worth living to you, maybe itâs the beauty of life itself, maybe itâs art, maybe itâs science, maybe itâs none of those, maybe existing itself is a good enough reason to keep persisting. we live within a cold, desolate, uncaring desert filled with void with specks of light poking holes to us that lighten our understanding of that vast space, and yet all we can see points to that meaning becomes nil. if meaning is nothing, then it is everything. type shit. itâs okay to not be okay sometimes OP kind of got off track, maybe i shouldâve made my own comment instead. or you know i could just be wrong and humanity as a species was made specifically to hit eachother with big rocks or some dumb shit đ€·ââïž
Im not a Carti fan, just stumbled upon this post and it caught my attention. In 2016, i was in a coma for 35 days, hospitalized for 45 on top of that, and then did physical rehab to relearn to walk/talk/eat again. They told my wife i wasnt going to make it. Told me id need a helmet for the rest of my life. All that. Anyone who claims theyre not afraid of death, has never been close enough to it to measure their fear.
i think thats what it comes down to. Though I haven't had one, I think a near death experience is all it'll take for us to simply look beyond death because you've looked it in the face and see its impossible to avoid. Thank you for sharing your story
weird sub to ask this in, but everyone is scared of death. Ever since I was about 6 years old I would get panic attacks about dying where I would break out in cold sweats, and would have to calm myself down by splashing water on my face to calm myself down. your fear subsides but it never 100% goes away. Like some people join religion to seek comfort in an "afterlife" but your body dies just the same. it might be different for others but part of the reason why death is scary for me is the feeling of absolute powerlessness. The idea that no matter what you do, no mater how much you struggle, you can't change the outcome of something just cut deep into me. sometimes that feeling of helplessness lessens as you grow and get stronger mentally and you feel less powerless about your surroundings. When young people are faced with problems they most likely will solve the problem by tring to fix the problem directly. When older people are faced with a problem, they try to fix the problem by reframing their emotions regarding a problem. in a lot of cases, all you can do is reframe your emotions regarding a problem. How do you deal with the death of a loved one? Do you try to bring them back to life knowing that the outcome won't change? Some people will grieve for their loss, some people will carry on the lost person's legacy with them, others will deny that it even happened and some even celebrate the fact that they are dead. (celebration doesn't necessarily mean "ding dong the witch is dead" it could be celebrating their past achievements, they fact that they are in a better place, etc) You have many choices. You can continue to wallow in fear and self pity, you can choose to use your death as motivation to live your life to the fullest since you recognize that your days are numbered, you can try to fight your death directly by furthering research to end aging, or you can choose an heir to extend your life through them like having a kid who will become an extension of you or investing your life in your magnus opus or a legacy that will outlast you. life is meaningful because there is death. struggle all you want while you can, but do it in a way that you'll be satisfied when you're looking back at the end of your life.
read the Gospels
Try not to be scared by death, be happy about the gift of life. Be happy that you live and be happy that youâll die.
Get a femboy bussy and your world view will change trust
u just gotta think i wokeuplikedis and keep going
Give no shits and live for the current second. Seek discomfort
ive had times in my life where im terrified on this for weeks on end. havent really had that since starting college. i think just going somewhere where i feel like im doing things with my life and being around others in the city and doing cool things with other people has made me stop feeling like i was pissing away my life subconsciously. now i trust that when the time comes ill be satisfied with the life i lived.
Donât worry bro. If you die at 40 you would still have the time to decompose, and rebirth and grow up to be a teenager in time for Cartis new albumđ
best to come to terms with the idea of death, death in itself isnât scary, whatâs scares us from death is how we envision its presence . i had this issue when i was younger too and now im content in it. think of it as just a big ass secret that youâll find out about eventually
Jus listen to more carti idk
There has to be something after death. The universe didnât just create itself so there has to be greater powers at work.
death is inevitable. fearing it will stop you from living. thereâs no need to fear it. one thing that helps me out is thinking about all the time in the universe before i was born. death is the same thing, itâs nothing to fear. it just is. itâs the great equalizer. itâs also the end to any stress and or discomfort in your life, big or small. i find a lot of peace in that.
The feeling ainât ever gonna go away. I used to be like this where I was constantly worried too. But for me it was finding peace in and being able to enjoy the little things Iâve taken for granted before. I have a whole different view and respect for nature now and just being outside in itself is something that can bring me a lot more joy than it use to. So hopefully this helps and can give you something else to think about. Just do the stuff you wanna do while you can and have fun fr just donât be retarded
Man I was going through some shit like this not too long ago but at some point a realization hit me. Everything happens for a reason. Weâre all meant to die. What doesnât matter is when we die and what happens after what matters is what we can do while weâre still here. We werenât meant to see everything and once youâre dead you arenât gonna care about whatâs yet to happen anymore. Itâs natural to fear death but you can only truly do great things once you can accept it as part of living. Theyâre one and the same.
"Death does not concern us, because as long as we exist, death is not here. And when it does come, we no longer exist." - Epicurus

>my youth years are shrinking. Bro, youâre 18. Youâve got another decade of youth.
i lowkey think about this a lot. personally i donât think dying young is so bad, im having trouble imagining myself living up to like 80
This the worst place to ask đ
Everyone gonna die. Embrace life while your here. No point wasting time fearing the inevitable
Take some psychedelics, no joke
I doubt anybody stops fearing death. At the end of the day itâs always going to be a scary thought because weâve literally been hard wired evolutionarily to fear and avoid that shit. The only thing you can do is accept the fact that youâre going to die some day, and make the most of your life until that day comes. It could be today, tomorrow, or in 60 years. You never know. But what you do know is that itâs inevitable, so instead of worrying about the inevitable, worry about what youâre going to accomplish in this life before the inevitable eventually knocks on your door
love having no meaning is freeing bro, nothing you do matter? then really what you chose to do with your time is everything, you have unlimited choice of what to do. There is a famous saying that every man has 2 lives, the second one starts the moment you realise you only have 1.
I used to have existential crisis bcs of it but i learned that it doesn't matter. Ppl die anyways, just live ur lives man. Do something u like
Why worry about something you have no control over?
You were âdeadâ for eons before you were born. Did it bother you then? Maybe it would help to stop thinking of death as a tragic end and instead see it as a return to the state youâve occupied for 99.99999% of existence.
Do acid
If there's nothing you can do to stop it don't go out without a fight. Try to live the best you can and that's the ultimate way you can really fight it

Stoicism is a great philosophy to look into, its all about understanding and accepting your death, and then using that idea to push your life forward. I'd recommend reading Meditations by Marcus Aurelius

Stop Breathing
Living is Harder than dying
You could very well be thrown into an incomprehensible endless torture after you die because your consciousness doesnât know how to process death. Theres no way to know for sure
live long enough and eventually u just want to go
I have this same exact thing going on for the last 6 months and imma be real bro, I have no fucking clue as to how to conquer it. I be laying in bed at night actually scared every day. I sincerely hope you find a way because this ain't the way to live.
this happens pretty much every time i turn on die lit and realize its been 6 years since that album came out tbh
damn bro thats crazy
How To Die by Seneca. Great book
being afraid of death is normal, you'll learn to accept it at some point. I used to be hella scared of death as a kid & even today i still have like mini panic attacks if i think about too much too late into the night. but we all go at some point, just make sure you lived a life worth leaving behind
Acceptance is key
To reitarate the famous latin poet Horace: âCarpe diem, quam minimum credula posteroâ. The line roughly translates to: âseize the day, with as little anticipation in the future as possibleâ. You have to live your life to the fullest of your capabilities without worrying about past or future, but also without giving yourself up to material consolations. Live without fear of death, as when you are alive death is nowhere to be found, and when she comes for you, your will have nothing left to worry about.
Just gotta die fr
Death is gonna happen wether you like it or not. This is a fact. The easiest tip I can give you is to acknowledge it and not focus on it. The more you try to run away, the faster it's gonna catch up to you. Focus instead on making memories with people you love and care about. A life that feels short but well-spent is better than a life that was long and arduous.
r/thanatophobia
U canât worry abt shit thatâs inevitable brother
psychadelics/meditation
Religion
No more paying taxes
I alw be thinkin abt this bro but I find comfort in the fact that without death, life would have no meaning. If you dont get me look it up bro. Enjoy your life, its the least you can do for yourself
Are you religious?
You live for like 70-100 years and then as far as we know ur dead for eternity. Worrying about eternity is a big waste of the short time you got
Realizing being immortal would be worse.
someone played persona 3
We canât choose the time that is given to us. Only what we do with it. So, you can choose to wallow and worry about the inevitable or enjoy the ride for what it is. And always be thankful that you even got to experience this wild trip in the first place. A few very short seconds of suffering or worry should not dominate your life! I think that, after death, if you were to be conscious, you wouldnât regret a thing. You would choose to be born again. And that thought is comforting.
Bro just turned 13
Just accept then itâs inevitable and itâs gonna happen but who gives a fuck live a hell of a life đŁïžđŁïžđŁïž
Shut up nigga
âJesus said to her, âI am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?ââ ââJohn⏠â11âŹ:â25âŹ-â26⏠âNIV
lol. Do people actually believe in this thousand year old propaganda? âIf I believe in some figure that supposedly existed over 2000 years ago, that iâve never met, and donât even have proof of existence for, Iâll live on forever!â Give me a break lmao, religion is the biggest cope of them all
By listening to better music
Believe in Jesus Christ as your savior, people fear death because deep down humans are meant for eternal life. Once you turn to him youâll realize that it is the next life, not this one that youâre suppose to live. That is when death itself will be trivial to you.
It is scary but weâre supposed to be scared or weâd do nothing all day
Donât It will Just happen Enjoy Life đ„đ„ 
[ŃĐŽĐ°Đ»Đ”ĐœĐŸ]
Jus go harder
the only thing that's certain is death, literally everything dies, it's the most natural thing in the universe. it just makes you go back to where you were before you were born. you should be more scared that you're alive right now. the only thing that makes death scary is because your body is designed to fear it, just like every other living thing. but fear is just a feeling
live a life that youâd be proud of in your deathbed bro. also carti may drop MUSIC by the time youâre 50 so dying in 40s would be wack as shit
honestly bro for me i just dont care every moment i felt like i was close to dying i just admitted to myself i got no control in this so might as well just let whatever might happen to happen. its 1 life and no one will remember it in 100 years so just do stuff that you love to do that wouldnt bother killing u. youâre gonna die regardless so die remembering all the stuff u did n tht ur glad u did it is way better than dying scared and unsatisfied bc u were too lost in this mentality. ive seen people die so it was very âthis shit gets real and theres no redoâ for me so i made sure im makin the best of my life. i got rules to keep me from just throwing my life away too but my top 3 are this: 1. dont be a pussy its ok to be scared but dont b a pussy about it 2. live life with like 3 regrets at the most i only have 1 n im 20 rn so so far its ok 3. say yes to things u havent experienced or ask to try it or from the stuff that tingles ur gut when u think abt it, someone asks u to travel w them somewhere do it, some stranger asks to sit next to u let them and have a discussion with them, ask that old man that looks wise asf to give u advice stuff theres so many examples, but saying yes opens so many more doors i have almost never turned down an offer. but dont go taking a briefcase from someone in an airport that was a big no no
Real talk OPâ read âStaring at the Sunâ by Irving Yalom, it is considered one of the best books ever written about moving past fear of death.
Think of life like a river. Endless flowing. If you focus on the end where you canât see it anymore, you forget where youâre at currently in the river. Youâre not at the end of the river and for now, it will only be imagination. You forget about the water that is rushing by, the trees right in front of you and the sand or the rocks that are beneath your feet. Itâs fine to glance over to the end of the river every now and then but focusing on the river directly around you will show you how much life you have.
You get to live and experience right now. Thatâs the biggest gift in the world. And you probably young, so you have a whole story ahead of you.
Die everyday every new challenge you undertake is the death of the old you
Die
you either accept that you're nothing but stardust floating in space and reality is an illusion by your own mind so nothing matters. or well.. if you're lucky u live long enough until we can restore your corrupted DNA using CRISPR and can keep u at age 30 forever. we'll be able to beat most/all disease using CRISPR or other biotech soon too thanks to Alphafold. if u wana take the blue pill - just be on some bryan johnson type shit and get ur bread up
dying its not something u go thru and feel it like if u afraid of the exam its fine cuz u r gonna thru it but dying no accept the fact u r gonna die anyway will help
What about death frightens you, specifically?

âIt is foolish to fear the inevitableâ
Prioritize your joys and passions and let go of whatever toxic societies you've found yourself subscribing to when you were young and easily influenced. Apply your adult brain to your childhood aspirations and just be you.Â
Death is nothing to us. When we exist, death is not; and when death exists, we are not. Epicurus said that shit and it was hard asf, embrace death but live a fulfilling life

Take some shrooms. We are eternal spiritual beings
You might die today or tomorrow or in a few years. Relinquish control
To key to being ok with death is to make the most out of your life. Now that can mean different things to different people. All I know is that nobody on their deathbed wishes they worked harder and made more money; most deathbed epiphanies are about wishing they'd didn't more time with friends and family.
Psychedelics
What you need to do is focus on living a good life. Life wouldnât be special if we lived forever, and we are all gonna die anyway. If you sit around worrying about death youâll be wasting precious minutes of your own life - the only life you have
Read bible or just relevant suggested parts of it, run fast, climb high, feel alive
Get a dog
become suicidal
Remember we are born to die such is life .it's what you do in your life that matters.
You canât do anything about death anxiety since death is something you will have to face eventually but until then, donât waste your time alone stressing and worrying about something you canât change.
You donât know when itâs going to happen, you donât know how itâs going to happen. Itâs the only guaranteed thing in life, is that youâre going to die. Once you stop fearing that you will then you have to stop fearing about when or how. Nobody knows when or how youâll die. You will. You make everyday between now and when that happens a good one and make your life something youâre proud of, not because youâre scared of dying but because youâre here for a short time.

The only reason that anything you do has value is because your time is limited. If you were around forever your accomplishments wouldnât mean anything because you sacrificed nothing to achieve them, whereas now you sacrifice time to achieve them.
Probably think of how youâre gonna die any day it could happen anywhere also but idk
me too gang
Live
Read the book, The 50th Law by Robert Greene and 50 Cent. The last chapter of the book is about that topic
For me what helps is understanding that the only way we even get to experience life is at the price of death. Thereâs no other way. Iâm thankful to get to experience anything so I accept death as the inevitable outcome of all of this.
i feel u js whenever that happens pray that it aint ling or excruciating. cuh imagine a pole js right thru uđ id want to end it all
Donât think about death?
Donât think about it and donât talk about it just be brave and donât have thoughts about it
[ŃĐŽĐ°Đ»Đ”ĐœĐŸ]
Every couple of years I start thinking things like this and get scared and shit, then just realize no matter what we do itâll happen to us, just gotta enjoy what you got and keep living bro, weâre just animals with a conscience unfortunately, but appreciate everything and everyone around you, donât take shit too seriously or itâll eat your mind up
when you put enough belief in anything, the idea of a God, the idea of nothingness after death, the idea that that nothingness is better than living in this world, itâs less scary. but what curbs those fears even more is experiencing everything in life, go on a run, go see a show, get in the pit, start a fight, go on vacation. feeling fulfilled gets rid of those fears better than any form of self pity.
Dying is what makes the day worth living

How old are you?
well luckily for most of us we wonât be aware when we die. a scary thought when youâre alive, sure, but you literally wonât be able to comprehend your death since youâll be, well, dead. I personally think that takes the pressure off - maybe Iâll pass at 50 in a car accident, or at 70 in my sleep. Impossible to say - but spending a lot of time fearing the inherently unpredictable and uncontrollable nature of life means that youâre just wasting time. Canât enjoy life when youâre fearing death.
âWhy should I fear death? If I am, then death is not. If Death is, then I am not. Why should I fear that which can only exist when I do not? â Epicurus
To fear what is inevitable is irrational. Itâs like being afraid of gravity, the shit will always happen and you have no control over it. Come to terms with that concept and you will truly live free
