@Death

Not really a fear, but I try my best to avoid dying

check my thread on it, but also no one really told me how serious it was right during the time so i really only know from after i was in stable condition, like there was an entire 14 day period where i could have went to sleep and not woken up, but i didn’t know it until after. but leaving so suddenly and not closing any open doors scares me about that possibility

I use to but after I had my suicidal breakdown I pretty much don’t care anymore. Not saying I’m still on that, it just made me not fear death anymore. If it happen then it happen. F*** being scared, I just move like it’s my last day, make sure I do stuff I enjoy and keep my relationships with people in good standing because you’ll never know.

I’m praying for you fam 🙏🏾 If you ever need to talk inbox me

death is always pretty close. A friend of me died this year cause of minor health issues (infections) very suddenly. He was only 21...

In an islamic perspective death is a moment everybody should be happy if it happens, because now you have the chance to be close to god and the prophets.

Furthermore you arent held back by physical vices like on earth and are kinda "free" after death.

Death isnt a bad thing. Its only bad if you die as a man with bad characteristics and virtues.

I’m sorry for your loss bro 🙏🏾

I don’t fear death, I only fear how I transition out of this world.

Terror Management Theory argues that we all fear death—to the point where humanity's entire societal system is a product of our collective knowledge that we are all finite beings.

Even someone as myself, who has claimed to "have no fear of death" for some time now, still acknowledges this theory and believe it to be true, if to a certain extent.

not during the day but I think about what it would be like if I never woke up basically every night before I go to sleep

Its an intrusive thought at this point which makes sleeping harder because it makes me anxious

Yup

Plan on seeing therapist when i can afford it

It’s crippling

I find it wild how most of us tend to realize the importance of how mortality around the same age

I feel you tho OP who knows what happens next

i only fear the act of dying, as in me physically dying. i don’t think about what happens after much

dying was my biggest fear when i was a kid tho. i was like 7 years old crying about the fact that i was gonna die eventually, used to ask my mom all the time why people die.

have a near death experience

feel like my dad is at that age where you just start to think about death more cause he been reading the Bible everyday this year and he’s never been a super religious person

How old are you?

well theres only two possibilities.

either your conscious experience ends in which case there is literally nothing to fear.

or it doesn't in which case the journey continues.

ive come across this theory but find myself disagreeing. it has an incredible bias towards modern-day, globalized society.

past civilizations have handled death with far greater acceptance. I even remember reading about isolated tribes that existed in recent times, and saw death as an appropriate response to pretty trivial problems

Great insight, thanks for sharing. I felt the same type of bias when reading into TMT as well. There's certain events and concepts that don't necessarily align with it's proposed doctrine.

However, with there being no doubt shrouded around archaic humans and their "improved" acceptance of death (in comparison to modern humans), their elevated acceptance does not automatically mean that they were completely devoid of the fear of death and its alleged driving forces.

Maybe it has something to do with the strength of a culture's tether to beliefs in their god and their perceived forgivenesss of that god? Archaic humans undoubtedly had stronger beliefs than their modern predecessors. Perhaps this can give credence to the notion that a stronger belief lessens the fear of death?

Interesting stuff to think about, very happy for your response.
