I find it silly to be scared of something that you can't avoid. Everyone at one point will die, naturally or not.

I'm not afraid of being dead, I'm afraid of not living any more.

No.
I'm not afraid of death.
I don't think I have been in a long time.
I AM afraid of what comes right before death, but not death itself.
More than anything, I'm curious about death. Curious what it feels like. Curious what happens afterwords. I want to know if, perhaps, some of the religions were right and there is an afterlife. I, personally, believe that once you are dead, you retain some consciousness for a few seconds or minutes after death, so that you experience the death. Then, you're gone. And life keeps moving on.

I would imagine that death feels like your brain is receiving multitudes of paper cuts for about ten minutes unless you die and so does your brain.

( I mean this because your brain activity is alive for about 10 or so minutes until it is finally more dead then the stiff cat. )

I'm afraid of when death happens as well as the nothingness that happens afterward. I'm afraid of not existing anymore.

Why would anyone be afraid of not existing? If you don't exist at all, then you can't very well mind that you don't exist, now can you?

That's exactly what I'm afraid of. I'm afraid of my time ending. There's so much I want to do.
