*lil shrug* I don't think about it enough either way. I mean, I realise it's a thing that will happen, but I don't know enough about how I'm going to die to formulate an opinion one way or the other.
Am I scared of dying peacefully in my sleep? Hell no. Am I scared that I'll be kidnapped and eventually have my head cut off as I release a final gurgled scream? Well, not in a day-to-day way, but it'd suck if it happened.
It's foolish to fear an inevitability. That's not to say I don't find the subject uncomfortable or that I wouldn't do everything in my power to delay it, and fearing things that can cause death is totally reasonable, but the idea itself that eventually it will all be over is almost reassuring in some morbid way.
It keeps me up many nights. I'm terribly afraid that there's nothing on the other end, and I don't look forward to meeting that. Even if there is anything, I don't like the idea that I'm not going to be myself, or that I'll be in some 'other place.' I'll be perfectly honest: I like it here. Sure, it ain't close to perfect, but I've got a wonderful, loving boyfriend, great food, great games, and plenty of things to do. I just. Don't like the idea that it's all going to go away.
Persona 3 holds a place in my heart for really fucking me up with the way it handles the topic of death.
No. It's probably because I don't care much about my life, but I could be told I'd die a month from now and it wouldn't really bother me. I barely think about it anyways.
And as others have said, there's no use in fearing the inevitable.
No I'm not afraid of death, I'm actually rather fascinated with the idea. Unfortunately what I'm afraid of is missing stuff, which Is why I have taken up Vinny's noble cause to destroying the earth so that I don't miss anything.
Had to look it up. Found this. Listening. Interesting.
Ha, I'm not saying I WANT to die, hell, I want to lived to be fuckin' Clint Eastwood- but I'm already prepared and expecting it, and it honestly doesn't worry me one bit.
I'm not afraid of death. Honestly it's almost a relief, seeing the state the world is spiraling into. I don't want to be around when it all goes to hell.
Well, I'm afraid of being in terrible pain as I'm dying; but as for the prospect itself, no. I've lived a pretty full and interesting life so I wouldn't have a ton of regrets on my deathbed.
That being said, there's still an absolute ton I want to do before I die. There's only the one lifetime we have, so we have to make it count. (Atheist)
I'm afraid of some horrible causes of death, like drowning or burning alive. However, I'm not afraid of the concept of death itself. As a Christian, I believe that death is most definitely not the end. It's actually a rather pleasing thought.
Only when you think about the unknown, and how you will not exist anymore, it becomes overwhelming. Though religious people find comfort that there is an afterlife which probably gives them a lot more courage when it's time to pass.
No Claude, I do not. Why fear something that is inevitable? I have more important things to be scared of. Like sharks.. those damn water demons.
That doesn't make sense to me. Why be afraid of sharks at all if you're not even afraid of them killing you? I don't get it. To not be afraid of death is to fear nothing.

Just because I don't fear death doesn't mean I can't fear something that has the ability to rip my limbs off.

Being an atheist myself, I no longer think about what if, but about what is and what will be. I'm excited about what people will learn long after I'm gone. Strangely, I'm stoked for the people after my life and beyond. I can only hope they enjoy the ride much like I have. And I, ain't done.
Not at all, I was as a child but once you think theres nothing on the other side it doesn't hurt to be mentally insane in a sense and think of it as more than an end.
If you really are that fucking afraid of it then get in to some religion or something, don't bitch about the inevitable when there are ways to end fear.
Lots of death/paranormal related topics lately. Also enjoy your life, don't spend time waiting for it to end. The thought that life will always continue around me is enough for me, the possibility of life actually being much more interesting on the other side excites me a bit.
I'm not afraid of death itself, I've accepted that i'm going to die. I'm afraid of the way I'm going to die though, or that I die before doing all that I want to do.

So if a shark attacks you, you'd prefer if it just killed you completely instead of biting off a limb?
I'm afraid of dying slowly and/or painfully, and what will be awaiting after it, but not the act of death itself. Honestly, it pisses me off more then anything. I despise with every fibre of my being the idea that some day humans might colonize other planets and explore the universe and discover things I could never imagine, and I won't be around to see it.

Not wanting to currently die doesn't = fearing death. If I die, I die. But a shark still terrifies me because I have a minor case of galeophobia and I don't want to be swimming around and have a shark show up behind me.
@CL60: Alright, alright. You know, I have this strange phobia of video game sharks. In real life, I find sharks fascinating, and I'm not exactly terrified of them but I'd probably be pretty freaking scared if I saw one in the water with me. But dude, in video games, I'm just absolutely horrified. You know how Jaws made people afraid of the ocean? Jaws on the NES made me afraid of going underwater in games...
