Are you afraid to die?

No.

Very much so, I still have quite a few things that I'd really like to accomplish while I'm here . Once I have completed all of those goals, however, then I'll be able to say that I no longer fear death.

Yes, I worry about it every day. And my family dying too, particularly my parents, they are pushing 60 now.

i'm ready to matriculate into heaven NOW, but my sister might have other ideas.

Not in the least and I'm atheist so I expect oblivion. I don't fear the billions of years that passed before my existence and similarly don't fear those that will pass after my existence.

Yes, I'm afraid to die. I've never been dead and it sounds horrible to me.

Hell no, I will embrace death when it comes. Of course, I don't WANT to die, but the fact that I will effectively just be permanently asleep feels like one of the biggest comforts in the world. I don't know how people can be scared of it, unless of course they have a young family to care for, etc..... But I don't.

Sometimes I wish that I would die, purely because death is so SIMPLE. Aspies always worry about not doing something 'right' or the same as an NT, but death is 1 thing that is a constant. It doesn't matter whether NT or AS, everyone dies the same. Don't get me wrong, though, I love life.

The beauty of death, for me, is that when you die it will be nothing but peace. Your body will be in the ground, and seemingly instantaneously (as you'll be dead) the Earth will either be engulfed by the Sun or will have been smashed to pieces by asteroids. Either way, the matter that comprises you WILL, even if it takes billions of years, become matter floating through space, on an asteroid, as part of another planet or even as the Martian equivalent of Jennifer Aniston's martian breast! ...... Although that last one is unlikely.

heaven sounds like a lot of FUN to me

There are two kinds of people- those who claim that they do not fear death. And then there are honest people. Two mutually exclusive groups.

I'm not afraid of death at all, although I do fear the cause of my death, i.e. will I be in pain or have my dignity taken away from me. What happens after that does not scare me. Until I became a mother, I don't think I ever thought about, what will happen if I die. But, now that I have a child, I really don't want to die for a very long time.

After a wee while on the wrong planet (see what I did there?) I look forward to the torment eventually ending. That being said, I've no intention of hastening it consciously, although I do like to do some of the more physically demanding sports that the majority of people in their early 40s have already given up as a bad idea.

As Woody Allen said, "I intend to live forever and I'm doing OK so far".

I hope it's by an asteroid impact.
