Are you scared of dying ?

Everyone is, even if they think they aren't.
Fear itself cannot be rationalised. Only the sources of it can be.
You'll join the stampede when someone scream "bomb!"
in a crowd, running aimlessly without any thought.
It's easy to say that you are not afraid of something
that you can't fathom you will ever face.
Even if you know you will die, you don't expect it and you don't even really
want to believe or assimilate it.
You can ask yourself whether you'll be ready when it is time to die.

i don´t think that death could be more horrible then life. i only fear it because i don´t want to dissappear and be forgotten one time.

If death wouldn't result in that, what exactly would be fearsome in death?
It'd be the same as taking a nap.

Somewhat. I am scared of how it will affect my family, - more than anything - like if I die young or in some type of accident. <8 And of course how I will die. D;

I'm mostly scared of pain, I don't want to die a painful death but I don't want to die from being jacked up with morphine either so if I die I'd like to die in my sleep without suffering.

More scared of HOW I will die rather than death itself.
Will it be peaceful?
Or a epic battle of blood and death?
DUN DUN DUN.

Bump!
Honestly speaking I haven't thought much about death or dying. They seem like very very faraway concepts to me. Though I read about stuff dealing with death practically all the time, I can't bring myself to take it very seriously and brood over it. So till now I am not scared of it. You have to think about something to form an opinion, which I certainly haven't.

YOLO!!! jk jk
Honestly, I am just as "scared" for my future career/life/etc as dying. It's worrisome but that is just part of life. Death comes to everyone whether we like it or not. Preferably, I would like to die happy, old, and painless insert hetero woman version of Tyrion's quote~ However, I just find that I will just take the future as it comes. I shouldn't stress about all the things that the future holds...I wouldn't be able to do anything 😀

At the moment? Yes. There are still 8 more volumes of Stormlight Archive that haven't been published. I can't die till I read those.
Aside from jokes, I would say that I'm not really scared of dying. Never found much meaning in this thing called "Life" anyway...

Short answer? Nope. Long answer? Still nope.
I don't feel too much about death, it's gonna happen sooner or later no matter what you do, and it's supposed to happen, or else life itself would become meaningless. Well, it's probably largely due to me believing quite firmly in afterlife. Can't imagine anything else. Basically, death is too everyday for me to feel like it means much.
But no, not yet. Used to wanna hurry up and die, without having to get old... but right now, not yet. Have things I want and I'm NOT gonna take dying before then. Though as half others will agree... life can be scarier than death. A LOT scarier...

I once saw some murder scene (I was in a different country, haha, what luck),
The man got his skull blown away and his brain got splattered everywhere,
I don't know, but looking at it kinda 'amused' me back then,
stared at it for minutes.... Well, it was my first time seeing something so gruesome IRL...
After that day, I feel like that I now know the feeling of dying (just dropping dead),
the feeling of just blacking out while walking and falling face first...
Not sure if I'm that afraid anymore, the feeling haunted me for quite some time and just got used to it... I'm not afraid but I'm still not ready to die, yet...

Do I fear death? Perhaps, like everyone else, I do. I really don't know. All I know is that it intrigues me in a way that life never could. In high school my art teacher feared for me because morbidity featured so heavily in my works. I was 14 at the time.
Even now, when I'm not preoccupied with living, sometimes I wonder about death. Death as a philosophical concept, a theological concept. Sometimes i think that death is brutally final, at other times I imagine it to be a form of release. I ponder upon questions, that have doubtlessly baffled others before me. Is there a place like heaven? What happens to the souls of people who don't maintain any religious beliefs? Is there a way to bridge the chasm that separates the living from the dead?
Still other times I look at death with the eyes of an artist; seeing it for what it is, as something that is terrible and yet because it is terrible, is also beautiful. Yes. I think that in it's own way death is beautiful. Like day and night, life and death mirror each other, as alike as they are different, both terrible and both wonderful.
And I'm certain that in the moments before my death, I'll come to think of life then, as I do of death now, but then again I'm an incurable romantic.
I give up. I see not point in living if I can't be beautiful.

Yes. I'm above all afraid of what will happen to me next. The idea of simply vanishing is horrible.
