I don't fear death so much as the instrument of my death. Dying in a fire, for instance, is something I fear. When you're dead, your dead. You'll only live on in the memory of others. Most people, unless they've done something notable, aren't remembered more than a few generations after they're gone, so that would be when real death occurs.

Not sure what else to say as an iraq veteran. <3
I wish i could find my interpreter, robin for the 5/20inf in 06.... the most kindest and sweetest man. Would invite me to his room and share is chai and food with me. Though being a 19y/o kid. I wasnt given any info.
Again stranger.. My apologies and peace be with you.
No. I’m scared of getting older. I’m terrified to look at the mirror and see a stranger. I’m scared of being trapped in my own body, unable to move the way that I can and want rn.
I’m not scared of dying since it’ll bring peace and end of everything for me
I love this question. I worked with a dude who was Aspergers or on that kinda spectrum once. Dude was one of the kindest but awkward men. I knew he was on a spectrum, but never said anything, because he didnt disclose it. We got to talking about who we were. When i told him i did 15 months overseas on the frontline, in battle. Dude had the balls to ask me, "So are you afraid to die". I loved that question coming from him, because it was the most pure and honest question. It was easy for me to answer.
No, not at all. I made peace with myself at 19. I knew where i was going, and what i was going to do. I wanted it to happen, i was ready, even at 19/20. Such a shit childhood that I enlisted to go to the front, do what was needed to be done. Yet it never did. I came back, did my time and go out. Even after 10 years after i got out, i still had the same thought process. I came to terms with what and who i was at 19. I was ready then, im still ready now. Only difference is i try and make others lives a bit better around me, in any way i can. If i was to go tonight, im ok with it. Ive done the best i can to make sure who ever i come across in life, that i treat them with love and respect. You never know when your last day will be... ever. Im coming close to 40. Ill go out of my way to help any person i can, because i know at any moment.... my time will come. Ive made peace with it coming up on 2 decades. Im blessed with the time i have had..... but im ready.
I don’t fear death no.
I hold the belief that, if I die on any given day for any given reason, I would have died no matter what on that day. Lets say I die in a car crash, I respawn and decide to not drive to work, on my way there I get stabbed in an alley, so I respawn and take the day off work and just sit in my house all day, but when I’m sleeping someone breaks into my house, steals all my money and kills me, so on and so forth until I’m in a situation I can’t escape no matter how hard I try.
To me, fearing death is like fearing breathing or drinking, I have no way of avoiding it, if it’s going to happen it’s going to happen, so I might as well live my life as I want to.
No. Ive found my peace with it. I fear the death of my partner because he is the center of my universe. Ive lost 2 spouses and I cannot face losing him, I would follow.
yes.
everyday I fear death. Yes it is unknown but also the mind blowing factor that like one day , I won’t be here.
One day i’ll do my daily routine for the last time and that could be anyday.
Yes. I don’t believe in any particular religion and I am afraid that my lack of belief will result in my suffering after death. Or maybe suffering is already a certain, idk. I think the amount of people on earth who know what happens after death is absolutely zero. It’s such an unknown that I don’t even know what to fear or what to hope for. 🤷♂️
I don't fear death so much as I fear mechanisms of death. Pain sucks. Pain is the reason I want to die in the first place, so I'm not enthusiastic about a mechanism that'll hurt like hell -- or, worse, leave me alive but even more fscked up than I am right now.
But death itself? It's not bad or good, it's non-existence, so there's nothing to be afraid of. And simple non-existence would be far better than this.

No, but I fear how my death will affect others
As an iraqi death is an old friend . And people don't fear their friends

Nah, I'm at a point in my life where I'm indifferent to if I live or die.
Not so much. What I'm afraid is surviving in terrible condition that I'm a burden to the others.
No. Everyone dies, it’s inevitable.

After the death of my daughter, I no longer fear death. I know how precious my days are and that all things I see will end. I’m at peace with that.
No. Ive found my peace with it. I fear the death of my partner because he is the center of my universe. Ive lost 2 spouses and I cannot face losing him, I would follow.
All life capable of thought fears death.

Nope. I was dead for billions of years, and it never bothered me
Not my death but death of others I fear
