You?

I think billions of other people also feel this way. And probably a underlying reason for religious affiliation

Nope your the only one ☝️

19 years old, we similar broski

In my case it comes from some family trauma i wnt go to deep into

One of my childhood memories is being around 8 yrs old and askimg my brother if one day we’ll die and crying so it goes back far

Every single day of my life I have anxiety over dying

yeah, no problem. completely agree that it was driven by the ideologies underlying past civilizations.

I can even see it in myself- a lot of the beliefs that I've developed over time have lessened my fear of death, I think.

Use to.

I know it’s part of the life cycle . I just try to do things that make me happy

we gon be alright homie, we gon be alright

EDIT: went to follow you but realized I already followed, you a real one lmao

I agree, the more that's added to the experience of life, the less I sense that underlying fear.

Just gotta live life and go where it takes you.

U might not remember but I remember u from ktt1

We interacted a couple times

I just hope I wake up in the matrix lobby and Lordtron is like 'Welcome back, friend! We have another simulation set up for you, this time it takes place 800 years after your previous life.'

Alternatively, I hope there is an existence where every living being that was important to me can once again be reunited with me forever.

I used to be scared of death now it seems peaceful

Elon gonna invent an immortality device don’t worry broskies

I dont fear death i fear not living

not afraid of afterlife or not being around, more afraid of the discomfort/confusion my physical body might feel right before.

holy f*** i forgot about this song

unlocking memories i forgot i had

i fear physical and possible* mental deterioration more; not being able to do things you were once able to do.

what makes me hopeful is information about nutrition and health has never been so readily available to everyone and the study of medicine is improving each year.

i think a fear of death for alot of people is what comes after our passing, and at the moment we're unable to discover what lays ahead.

might as well not be alive then
go live your life stop worrying about s*** man

I went through the same phase when I was 23 years old. I think a lot of it is related to the fact that in that time of our lives (late 10s, early 20s) we're getting out of our youth and into adulthood and suddenly you're confronted with the knowledge of how scarily fast your life reached that point. Your childhood and adolescence is practically behind you and you see how mercilessly fast life moves on.

Plus, I was always kinda scared of death as I don't believe there's an afterlife or anything like that, and I've had OCD and anxiety ever since I was like 14, 15 years old.

Anyway, when I was 23, one day I just had a strong panic attack at work related to some random thoughts about dying, had to take a week off from work just to get my mind straight.
I saw a psychiatrist a couple of times, never took pills to lessen the anxiety cause they always had some kind of severe side-effect on me, unfortunately (some caused severe depression, some erectal dysfunction, etc.).
As life went on, I just kind of outgrew it, honestly. I'm 28 now, married since last year, bout to have my first kid... Life is here and it's happening right now. There's no sense in worrying about what happens once you're gone, cause you'll be gone then, easy as that. All we can do is face our mortality, face the oblivion and laugh at it - enjoy life and the things that make you content and happy.

Hope this helps, OP.

Don’t fear the reaper

i don't fear the idea of dying, i fear the emotional damage it'd cause to those around me

also worried about who will be throwing my hard drives into a sawmill

Yea I be feeling like I’m gonna die young

Great post, man.
