why or why not?
they said that if you die, everything after it is so beautiful that you won't regret you died, and it should be keep secret.... i guess we will never know until we die...
I guess thats the thing, what makes us actually fear dying is the fact that we are going into the unknown. If it was 100% fact that when we die...

...then i suppose it wouldn't really be very scary at all. Personally i don't fear death itself, my fear lies in what happens once I am dead. The worst outcome that could happen in my opinion, would be nothing at all. I can't imagine living this life, trying so hard to make something of yourself, for it to just end and stop, to become a 'nothing'. No,
Death is a natural part of things. It happens to everyone, so there is no reason to fear it.
As for the post of nothingness.... Think about civiliations of ancient times, no one knows any indivual from them. Only the societies' legacies might live on...
Nah. Live life without regrets, treat every day as your last!

Everything in this phrase.
The life have a cicle, things born, grows and die, so we dont have to fear the death, because that is a natural thing on the life.
That is my opnion, of course.I'm not afraid of death, I'm just afraid of dying young and not getting to live a full life. So I'm somewhat careful of what I do on a daily basis.

Yeah i agree with what you said. I mean if you're older, then well it's expected. But if you're young , theres too many things you want to do and experience.I think I am more fearful of disease and being helpless in my old age, than death itself. I could never take my own life but I think to die of cancer for example or any other such awful diseases must be the worst nightmare ever. I fear that kind of pain, vulnerability, loss of independence. I also fear the days in old age if and when I would not be able to move around freely and easily any longer, or to lose my ability to think clearly. I think death would then be a wonderful release.

Im not afraid to die . i love my life but i dnt afraid to die cos we where go there i mean thats our line to heaven .
Not exactly. More afraid of HOW I die and WHEN I die then of death itself. Cause I'm barely 14, and there's still so many things I haven't done or experienced that I want to experience. And I'd rather not die in some accident or something. I'd rather die of natural causes but really late in my life. (late 80s, hopefully)

Nope. Natural order. Imagine the mess if no-one died.
definitely not.. All humans are destined to be there.... IT is the last chapter of our lives... I can die tomorrow, today , tonight or now.. No matter how careful we are not to die or no matter how we avoid it... If its your time...it is your time..!
I know it is natural but I am afraid to die. It is normal for me if you are old enough to die, if you’ve had your chance to live.
There are so many things that I want to see and do. I am scared that one day I might look at my life and realize that I missed a lot of things I shouldn’t miss! That is what I’m afraid of.
Yes, I am scared of dying. Life is so beautiful that I do not want to be dead any time sooner. A few days ago my friends grandfather passed away and we were talking about that. My friend told how his grandfather had passed away and he talked about several health problems of his grandfather. It was like so scary and I really thought about how my time would come one day and I would get out of the world the same way. So, I am really really scared of death. The more I think about it the more it scares me. Specially during the night.

There are consquences in doing so, since human life is becoming a joke these days and you'll regret alot more then you'd think. But no, I wouldn't fear death, no matter how I die. Although I'd rather die at an old age and die quickly instead of suffering.
As for beliefs, I'm not religious in any way, but my theory is that when you die, you're "reincarnated" into another human baby (exluding the caste system from certain beliefs, I'm not too sure which belief system believes in this) but without any memory whatsoever of your past life. At least you'd get a new start without even knowing it.. Imagine how many times we've actually died, if this were true. But nobody knows, nobody will ever know.
The most shocking thing, though, is that some people have died but have been brought back to life a few minutes afterwards (human technology..). Miracles will happen, and miracles such as this have happened countless times.Yes, I am scared of dying.
There are so many wonderful things in this world, and not enough time in a short lifespan to experience it all. The worst part about dying is that it is unknown. If it is known to us, then it is somewhat better. For example, say X happens to us after death; you could say you are very afraid of X. You could also be not bothered by X at all.
I know it should happen, and it will happen with me one day too, but I want to die without too much of pain, no suffering, preferably, and with the feeling with that I have made the world around me better.
I'm not scared of death.... I'm scared of what it will be after, we all want to know if there is something after... I live my life the best I can everyday. I'm prudent but when your time has come, you can't do anything so I won't try to report it if I know my time has come.
See ya in heaven everyone ! 
Yes, i'm scared of death. There are tons of things that i'm yet to do and this makes me fear. I've got to live, get a good job and live as a man in my dreams.
I think that's religion is all about. Helping scared people since '0
Not death per say. It is the fear of 'nothing' that bothers me. Yes, I understand that if nothing occures then obviously nothing is there for me, and I won't know it happened. But I mostly am worried about non-existence. I guess then, it is basically that I don't want to lose my identity.
Because what are you really, other then a conscious mind that interprets events... I don't want to stop interpreting! 
Not especially its inevitable, isn't it?
I'm not afraid to die. It's what we were meant to do. I just hope that if it is painful that it doesn't take a long time to die. I do want to see my kids grow up so I would be disappointed (if I can feel disappointed after death) if I couldn't be apart of their lives until they are grown with children of their own.
I've been thinking about this 'nothingness'.. It gets a bit scientific, but it can relate to this nontheless.
Your 'mind' is only a bunch of cells/dna grouped up randomly, which scientists still can't figure out how/why. But when you die, all your cells die (eventually), which means you don't have a mind and can't think or feel anything.. or anything for that matter. You wouldn't know that you're nothing, you wouldn't even exist anymore.
Dang, this is why such a topic can get to you. I just wish we knew what happens -.-
I used to have a huge fear of dying but as I have grown older that fear has left me. I personally believe their is something else once we are done here anyhow.
yes I am...maybe because I am not yet ready to die, there still a lot things that I haven't done in my life...but then as I thought about it...if its your time you cannot decide for it anymore...when its your time,then it is your time.
I fear that I die before I get a chance to play Fable 2.... :O
Nah, I don't fear it, it's coming. Can't avoid it. I did have a small fear while growing up, but that quickly left. Religion also helps in such matters.
EDIT: Just after I posted this, I thought... What if I die RIGHT NOW? Am I ready? (Only 13, 14 in October) My answer was not just yet.
I am really scared to die. I would love to die with no pain. Dying with pain isn't a good death.
I am not scared to die.
This is just the end of life.
Too many people are scared to die and don't enjoy life for that
I'm not scared of dying as much as I am of the death that comes infinitely after it.
yea, the idea of dying is kind of scary, but it's goin to happen so it's one of those things you just have to accept... unless you find a fountain of youth =P
Yeah, i'm so scared to die. It's the worst thing to ever happen to me.
When you die you can not actually regret anything at all. You are dead. You either should feel sorry for your loved ones and think how hard your death may come upon them due to the simple fact that everything left existance, you are and will remain dead.
I am not. Just me maybe; it doesnt bother me.
I think most people probably are. We are afraid of the unknown, and death is the greatest unknown. This is the reason why most religions were invented after all.
A lot of people take solace in the thought of heaven or the afterlife. For me, I can't believe in such things, and at times I'm a little envious of people who can.
Have a look at the following article, I think it relates to this topic quite well:
http://www.mysticjohnculbertson.com/death1.html
What do you think? it's interesting that we say that everything after death is beautiful, it just doesn't make sense, when we probably have no idea. Maybe it's nothing, like there is nothing after death, and once you die, that's it, like when you are asleep, and have no dreams. But then again, I don't know, maybe it is beautiful.
I don't think that was the idea in the article I linked to above. It specifically doesn't talk about how wonderful the next life will be. Instead, it takes this life and points out why it's important not to either obsess about how awful death is, nor ignore this life in the hope of something better, but to take this life by the horns and get out of it all that you can.
nah im not scared , death is just one big adventure....
i will feel sad for the ones who loved me but where will we go......
imo with all the stars and planets out there , theres got to be life on one of them...
we go to another planet i think 
Not really death itself, but experiencing it. =P
Pretty much what other people have said - i havent got a fear of death its self but as someone put "nonexistence" or just not being. Ok we wont know if we are not here like someone else pointed out but just to be nothing, bbrrrrrr, thats scary.
Has anyone really sat down and really thought deeply about death? It frightens me when i do. Imagine, what happens when you are sleeping, it's almost as if you don't exist for that short period of time that you are sleeping. There is no consciousness, you're just lying there, dead. Sure you have brain activity still, but you aren't really 100% aware of it. Now imagine not ever waking up. That is death. I can't seem to imagine it any other way. that's what frightens me, what happens to our consciousness when we're dead and brain activity ceases all together. Do we no longer exist?
Of course it always helps to have some sort of faith, whether it be heaven or reincarnation. My faith is what ultimately makes life worth living.
Yeah, though I'm more concerned with it in the way of "what would happen to all those who depend on me if I did?"
The idea is frightening.
im not afraid to die but more like curiosity.. like how does it feel to die.. i mean, its gona happen once and no replay..
how we die, obviously we do not know but everyone wishes for a simple painless death rather than the painful dreadful long lasting pain till death comes..
i just had a friend who died in a bike accident.. it was an instant death.. tt's when i realised we could go anytime, so, we should start treasuring our life..
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
thanks alot ..... u got me worried
and also.... i think im gonna have nightmares!!!!!!!

No because it's going to happen wether we like it or not so why waste your life fearing it when you could just live your life and have fun, if your time comes then it comes there isn't anything you can do.yup I am scared to die and why I should not be, after all death leaves everything blank and void. I presume no life after death so naturally it would mean an end to your existence, nothing to do nothing to feel, just black voidness. It sends me shivers down my spine when I think about death!!
Death is inevitable. Rather than fearing the loss of life, why not live life to its greatest extent, while at the same time maintaining an awareness of this inevitability?
I do not fear death. I fear the unknown.
-Y
I only fear fear itself.
Seriously though, It doesn't bother me knowing I could die tomorrow.
Whether I like it or not, It's going to happen.
And I know my friends and family can deal with it.
I'm a bit curious about what happens after we die anyway.
scared when I was a child. now, I'm to think no longer. Do things well you are facing, it's import and you should focus.
I fear not of death it WILL come for us all eventually so what point is there in fleeing from it? I learned to accept it infact embrace it even I find Death quite beautiful ... besides whose gonna miss me if I die anyway?
im not afraid to die when its my time, its my time to leave this earth.
I'm afraid of dying or afraid to know what will happen when I die, like afterlife and all of that. There is so much I want to do and want to see and its frightening to know I won't get to live to see everything. On the other hand, why are we dying to live? When were just living to die.

Just about sums it up.I guess i am.
Cos i"m 25 and i'l invested most of my life for education. So if i die now, All that invesment is in vain :p
And not that i didn't had fun in my lif, But I have more things to do before i die ( as every one)
I'm not afraid of dying. In fact i'm one of those that people who look forward to dying. Maybe cause I want to know what lies beyond but more so cause I feel that death is something that liberates you from the shackles of life. Hence death is not to be feared but looked forward to.
definately petrified.
i think there are 2 elements to it - one is the unknown that you go into and the second is how you would die. If I knew for sure I was going to die in my sleep painlessly then it wouldn't be so bad and i'd only have the the unknown to contend with, but the odds are it will be either car crash, punched to death, cancer or heart attack, or a worse, degenerative disease such as park's or alz etc its that second element I'm not looking forward to.
mind you dying in the way of my namesake has a lot to be said for it. although the official time of death was 1.04 pm pretty well everyone knows he died instantly at 12.30 when the 3rd shot blew his head open. The only thing he knew about was the wound from the second bullet (the magic one). hich would have been painful but he only had 3 seconds to think about that one.
I wonder what the effect would be on the fear of dying if you knew with absolute certainty that you were going to die at a particular time and in a particular way.
If you're afraid to die you better not be afraid to live.
Yes, I am scared to die because I just stated to have my own family. I wanna grow old with them, I wanna stay longer with them, I wanna see my children to have their own family someday. I just hope it will happen what i wanted to happen someday.
I'm not scared to die ... I mean, it's the next challenge ....
Plus, I believe in karma so, as you sow shall you reap.
No, I am not scared to "die". I do not know if it really does exsist, so I honestly cannot say. I'm not sure you can go through life being afriad to "die", because everytime you fall asleep, everytime you enter a building, everytime you turn a blind corner you might not know what is waiting to happen.
I don't think that an normal person cannot be afraid to die, it is normal...If you are insane well then it dosen't really matter now would it?
I'm a lil scared of dying but I usually don't like to worry about things I can't control. Its good to just live life to the fullest and know that if you were to die tomorrow you would have done everything you wanted to do. I try to have a lil fun. I know as I get older the fear would be less as I would have lived more of life and also be more prepared for it. I'm not ready now though, not for another 50+ years ! lol
no i am not scared to die. It is natural phenomenon that every thing which gets birth in this earth has to die. So what to fear about death. It has to come and it will come so I do not fear about it.
No, I am not scared to die. Death is a way of life (no pun intended). Having been in the military and been in several hotspots I have faced death a few times already and lived to tell about it. Death is a stage in life that can't be avoided. It will come whether you want it to or not.
I am a true believer in "If it isn't your time to go. It isn't your time to go." I was in an automobile accident in March of this year. An idiot who was speeding and talking on his cell phone ran a red light and t-boned me. My SUV was totaled. I got knocked around and banged up pretty good but I walked away from it. The police and EMS both stated that I should have been hauled away on a stretcher. Luck, fate, will of God, or karma who knows. Bottom line is was not my time to cash in. No one can help or stop death from coming, so why fear it?
No, not really. I don't WANT to die, of course, but I wouldn't say I fear it. My idea of the afterlife is that you kind of define your own reality after you die - that is, whatever you imagine happening is what "happens". It's hard to explain, but it's very comforting. Much more comforting than the traditional idea of heaven and hell.
No because let's face it, eventually we will all die.

*applause*
beautifully phrased!I fear the unknown. So many have said that death is nice and heave and all that. BUT do we actually know any of that?
I don't know where I came from or where I am going to, so yes. I am fearful of the unknown.
For me, I'm going to be honest, No. Everyone will end up dieing sooner or later, All I say to my self is, live life to the fullest, because your never promised tommarow.
I'm not scared to die. All of us are bound to die. Any moment of any day. For me, if we are afraid to die, and we know that any moment could be our last, then all our life we are going to live in fear because death doesn't have an exact date or time.
Eversince I was five, I wanted to know the feeling of dying. I don't know why, but I think I'm just curious about it. Then, as I grow up, I realized that every human being is going to die so why be scared of it? Maybe, the only thing we can do to prepare us for our death is to make our lives productive. Let's do our best to live our life to the best that we can.
Cheers!
I'm not afraid of dying, it's going to happen eventually. I know there a lot more things I want to do before I die but if it happens soon, I have no regrets.
i personally don't care. if i die, i die. i think im mostly good, s either nothing will happen or i'll go up.

You couldn't be more wrong on this point and you can only say it because you're not going through it and can't imagine knowing what it's like to KNOW you are going to die soon. I can remember playing this game at the pub years ago - "would you rather know you're going to die or not" and most people wished that they knew so they could DO stuff before it happened.
As someone who is actually in this position - the answer is YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW. Knowing all the things you're going to miss, regretting what you haven't had the time to do, or reaching your full potential etc. The sleepless nights, constant anxiety, tears just under the surface most of the time, not being able to make future plans like where you're going for Christmas holidays and so on.
And it has nothing to do with what age you are either! A few of you have said it's OK to die if you're old. What age is old? Old is usually anything 20 years+ older than yours. I would be old to you but I think I'm young.
Allow me to give some advice - don't put your dreams off until later - there may not be a later. Do as much as you can as soon as you can. You can't take anything with you but it's the good memories and good friends you've gathered that sustain you in the end not career positions, lots of assets and so on.
OllyHonestly I think most of us aren't afraid to die when we think it's not going to happen any time soon. I'm not afraid now--I think it's natural and I'm just not worried. But I often wonder if I would be afraid if I knew that it was coming.
It happened recently that I had a cross-country relocation. I lived on the east coast, now I'm on the west. Just before we moved, we went to our favorite beach and had a great day, and at some point at the end of the day just before we left, I realized I may never come back to that particular beach, even if I visit NYC again.
I've spent a lot of good time at that beach. So as I was standing there looking at the water and thinking about how I might NEVER come back, and I started to wonder how it would feel if I were dying. I envisioned myself standing on a beach thinking, I might never come back to any beach, ever again. This might be the last time. It was easier to put myself in that place at that moment because I was facing many endings in my life anyway, and I knew everything was all about to change and I was probably going to turn into a new "me" because I was entering a new phase in my life, etc.
How surreal.
Moving is not at all the same as dying but it led me to some strange thoughts--similar things to what Olly brought up. What if I didn't have to plan for anything after the next couple of months? What if I were going to walk down this street or make my bed or see these people for the last time? What if it were my last time on a train or paying for groceries?
People say all the time that they want to live like this day is their last and blah blah blah, but so few of us really do and those who commit to that kind of lifestyle are probably incredibly disfunctional.
However, I started reading the Idiot. I haven't finished yet, but they mention this guy at the beginning--and I'm pretty sure that the author went through this same ordeal--a prisoner who was slated for execution who, at the very last moment, was spared. Can you imagine? Living your last night, facing your final demons, and then at the very last possible second realizing you were going to live? How would that affect your outlook? What would you do with the rest of your life?
thanks to death,the more we take it serious,the more we treasure our life,haha
[/img] i think you all are insane - firstly you all seem too philosophical about this matter
honeslty how can you be afraid of the inevitable. its like saying I am afraid to get hit in a boxing match.
look at it this way, if you believe in god then you either go to heaven or hell and you will live forever
if you belive in some energy flux or reincarnation dont worry you will also always exist (dont know how since your memories make you YOU without them you are dead)
but if you dont believe in god heaven and all that juju then great when you die it wont matter since you wont think or care...so go wild live for the moment
and dont eat yellow snow

it IS a philosophical matter. No one knows what happens when you die. Even if you believe you have some idea, the details are a mystery. And the dying process is frequently painful and I don't think that being afraid to die is out of the realm of what is normal or unreasonable. People are afraid of the unknown and they're definitely afraid of pain, so if they're afraid of dying they're not insane, that's human.this question has been asked on many-a personality quiz. and i got to wonder, why would you be scared? sure, some people will drown, get sick, get shot, or some other premature cause. but most of the time, we die of natural causes. the expected lifetime for US citizens is 75 years. that plenty of time, and thats better than 50% of the world. we have nothing to fear.
I am not afraid of dying. as we know that life and death are natural things.Death is definite and it will come.So what to fear about it.So enjoy life...
I don't fear death... however, I don't particularly want to die in a painful fashion, nor until I've got everything done.
Death happens to everyone.... why should I be afraid?
i am not scared to die.
It is so because life and death are normal phenomenon.
everyone has to die at last.
I would rather say that I am more afraid of my family member's or any intimate friend's death than mine. This is because I know that then I would feel lonely and miserable for a very long time (I am very sensitive person).
As far as my death is concerned - well, it is part of the whole human life and because of its inevitability we cannot avoid it. I'm not afraid.
If you arn't afraid of death itself then you must have something wrong with you, or have isolated the emotion. Human beings are afraid of death for a very good reason - to keep from doing stupid things and killing ourselves.
So yes, I am.
Don't Worry, Be Happy

Every single year, month, day, hour, minute, second and even millisecond that passes me reduces the distance between me and the death. The more I do live, the more the death is chasing me.
So, there is no way to get scared of DEATH. Sometimes death is sweeter than humiliating life, and sometimes death comes while you were expecting even longer life.
There is life after death. Eternal life that will never end. If you were nice person, you'll get your reward (a life one thousand times better than the life on the world). But if you were a bad guy, bad guys go to hell.

| Live like a man and die like a legend! |
If I have to be honest I am a little ... most of all I am scared of dying in car accident.....
I'm scared to death of death (pun more or less intended).
It's my worst and only fear. I love life, and I don't want it to end. I'm especially scared that death is nothing but nothingness. And I'm scared to die without knowing it. I want to have time to say my final goodbyes to this world. I'm scared that dying is like when you fall asleep during a surgery: one second you're here, and the next...
But death being nothing, no heaven, no hell... well that's the most logical, scientific explanation. No body, no minds, no conscience... On the other hand, I believe in paranormal phenomenons, and that gives me hope that it's not the total end, afterall.
Actually, the less I think about it, the better. I sometimes get panick attacks when I imagine myself dying with nothing happening after that.. for ever and ever. I get vertigo and I feel nauseous. In these instants, I say to myself: Right here, right now, you're alive.
And it helps.
Someone back said that they would be more scared if they knew they are about to die. I think, for me, it's the contrary. It would give me time to accept it, and get ready for it.
Angelina Jolie once said: "If I think more about death than some other people, it is probably because I love life more." I think that's her best quote.
Well of course I'm afraid to die. Anyone who says they aren't must not like life that much. As death is generally perceived to be the opposite of life. We should all not want it to happen and should certainly be 'afraid' of it. If we all had no fear of death, I suppose we might be a bunch of high-risk takers.
Death? I hate even that idea...
I am not sure, if I'm afraid of death or not.
no i am not scared to die.
it is a natural phenomenon.
everything which exists has to die once.
Not, only pitying, that it takes so long. People, who don't want to die, having a good, useful and productive life, loving friends and family, are frequently dieing young, in their 40s, and who don't mind to die as soon as life stopped making sense, is forgotten by Grim Reaper.
A what will be after the death, hope that there will be nothing, just seizing to exist. For religious there may be expectation to have a better after life.
Worst possible scenario - reincarnation and return to the same life, again and again. I sincerely hope, that my internal self is educated and advanced enough (how modest of me 
) to become the last returned to life in the spiral of understanding the universe and advancing spiritually. I am scared of death, when I just think, there's no god. But I believe and in my opinion, that's the only thing we have - hope.
Death is a natural thing in life. All things live and die.
On that note, I don't fear death, because that makes it seem to come ever so more quickly. But I definatly want to live my life before death.
I am not scared to die 
'm a little bit scared of death... most when I'm lying in my bed and thinking about something, I get a thought like "when you are dead, you are not here anymore." and then I'm lying there like I'm frozen...
I'm really a litte bit scared I think xD
I'm not scared to die in particular but when I feel sick (especially headaches etc.) I have a tendency to think it's some horrible disease that will kill me.
I look at it like Socrates. When he was to be put to death his followers asked him the same question. He explained it like this; If when I die there is no afterlife, then I won't know it. If there is an afterlife then I'll already be there and not have to worry about it. So really what's to be afraid of? Except maybe nothing.
Im not afraid of dying, but at the same time, I don't really hurry it along, cause once your dead, your going to be dead for a very long time.....
SO we've heard anyway.
The only people afraid of death are the ones that know that they haven't lived a fulfilling life. After a hard days work there is nothing better then having a nice long rest. Life is no different. Once you feel that you have achieved enough in life, death is a much deserved rest.
No, i wanna die ,BUT I CAN NOT !
I personally do not fear death... At least at the moment. I agree with many of the people here who mention that death is all part of life and that there is nothing to be afraid of.
But I do know that for most people, fear will set in only when you are on the verge of dying... Meaning you know you are going to die the next minute but there is nothing you can do. That feeling is very awful. Not that I had experience near-death situations, but I had heard from people who were at the verge of death but survived.
Another aspect to look at is people who attempts/commits suicide. Most people who attempt suicide do not die, mainly because of fear. In fact, some people who attempt suicide might have the fear of not dying, given the fact that its worse of to attempt suicide and survive than to succeed in it. People who drown are bloated, people who tried drug overdose but got saved had to "wash their stomach", people who jump of building might survive with disabled limb(s) and people who cut their wrists had to suffer immerse pain while losing blood. Non is good, so do not attempt suicide.
I think the reason why people are scared of death is that they believe they will actually be aware at the moment it happens. i doubt anyone is truly aware that they are dying, and I don't mean in a terminal illness time line, I'm talking in the last few seconds it happens because the brain is probably the first part that turns off.
I'm not scared of death, I'm scared of pain.
People might say that death is when all your pain vanishes. It's not, because you're not aware that you are dying and therefore not aware that you don't feel any pain. The only people that are scared of death is your loved ones, because they are scared of your death.
