Are you afraid of death? Why?

[Ioneliness]

I was looking at threads of people discussing what happens after we die and didn't relate at all. I saw one comment saying you could start life over like a video game, lol. What else could wait for us after life but non-existence/nothingness?. Do other animals think there is some afterlife that exists if they practice morals that were simply just made up? There has been millions of years when everyone reading this didn't exist. We literally have people who have survived near death experiences say that they felt nothing, like they are at peace. The answer is obvious to me. I guess my life is so dull and empty that I don't really have anything to lose, so thats why im not scared-but I honestly feel like there is no other rational way to think about death.

I'm not scared of reincarnation or nothingness i am just afraid of the pain. That's why my preferred methods are so quick i won't notice anything. Methods like getting crushed by a shipping container for example.

Is there a megathread on the shipping container method?

I don't afraid of death or the pain it will take, I afraid what if I didn't die and survive? Becoming a vegetable? I live with abusive people I fear them mostly, and they will most probably throw me away in the dirty street if I become a vegetable that's what I fear the most. Surviving. Death sounds like a hug to me, and a mercy upon life.

death can't be worse than life

I don't believe in the afterlife and I think that the most probably scenario after we die is just nothigness when you don't feel anything because your brain stops fuctioning and it's responsible for thought process.

Concept of hell and heaven doesn't make sense for me because I don't think there is a free will among humans. We are simply determined by factors beyond our control like genes, environment, culture so God would have to sentence people to eternity in pain based on actions that weren't in their control.
Reincarnation would be slighty more reliable but still very unlikely because lack of any proof for that

I'm not scared of pain or the process of dying, but I am scared of what happens after. I don't want there to be nothing after because I'm a person who doesn't hate the world or living, I just don't think that the person I am right now is suited for it.

I sort of hope it's like a video game. I disappear for a moment and then come back as someone new.

I'm scared of death because i'm wired to be afraid of it, even if i say i'm not. The old lizzie brain pulls me back to the most basic instinct : survive. I wish i could bypass it.

Death is not scary to me. The process to achieve death or what might happen after it is what scares me. I hate the idea of both eternal torture and reincarnation. I hope if reincarnation exist then we can't be reincarnated as animal, as it'd suck to get reincarnated as a farm animal and get slaughtered.

Nah but i saw a couple of videos from china and india on 4chan a while ago of people getting smushed by those things. There's once minced meat left a second later.

I'm not scared of Death.

Death is Non-existence forever . we've experienced non-existence before we were born.

When you don't exist you can't suffer pain that is so bad it's a billion times worse than you can imagine. you can't fall into a hell a trillion times worse than the worst you can imagine if you don't exist . but while alive you certainly can suffer to such horrible extents and beyond.

this is just one reason i don't fear Death but i do fear being alive . but imo they seem to have most people believing the exact oppossite. and this is just one thing out of millions .

1 micro-second after my brain dies i will cease to exist and never exist again. all my problems will be solved instantly and foreever. never will i suffer, feel unbearable pain, have problems , bad memories, 1000 other horrible things in this evil life and evil world.

I don't see why i or anyone should fear Death , no suffering , no pain , no problems no bad memories. instead they have everyone thinking they love something that can torture a human or animal extremely

No, I'm not afraid of death; I'm afraid of surviving. And of what will happen after that. I'm also afraid of how my decision will affect my parents. Although things are getting so much worse right now that very little bothers me anymore

I am mostly scared for what will happen to my family without me
I have been homeless since January this year. I was planning in 2023, but then my father passed away in 2024. Since then I've had to take care of my family, consisting of my mother, my sister, and my nephew
I am really tired, mentally, physically. In every way I feel spent and undone
