Is it normal that I fear death, and death will eventually come?
I have had several anxiety attacks about death, and if I die and so on.
Not a serious question just wondering.
I didn't vote because death is a part if life. Just enjoy your life the best way you can. Death will come but don't obsess about it.
It's another case of fear of the unknown, and while you don't know if you gain something through death (an afterlife, for example) one thing is certain: You will lose EVERYTHING. And while it sounds horrible and pointless lemme tell you: it is, and that's the comedy of life really.
One thing is certain: you will die, and there's nothing you can do about that. Worrying about death is as pointless as constantly fretting that the laws of physics might suddenly cease to operate as normal, and you'll float off into outer space.
If you have religious beliefs or believe in karma or some other form of cosmic justice, then what you should really be concerned about is doing the correct thing in the here and now.
If you believe that when we die it's just fade to black and oblivion, then there's really nothing to worry about. You weren't unhappy before you came into this life, so how could you possibly feel unhappy when you've left it?
The important thing is that you're alive right now. Your job is to figure out how you can use this day in the best way possible. Worrying that it might be your last can only get in the way of that.
You are a weirdo to fear death. Try doing something dangerous you can’t do with someone unknowing supervising you and do something that will kill you. Like if you can’t swim go to a public pool, go in the deep end, and wait for them to save you. It gives a new perspective on life.
