Subject: Let's talk about the fear of dying alone.

I really don't care whether I get married. I don't ever want to have kids, so it doesn't really matter to me.

That will all change.

Why are all of your threads so depressing? Something getting you down?

I'm at a really weird place in my life right now.


All I can say is, don't let it get the best of you.

All life is is a really weird occasion.

I'm actually more afraid of being far from alone when I die. I'd rather not think about leaving a hole in so many people's lives. I have my partner, few close friends and a couple of siblings. I wouldn't turn down the chance for a few more close friends for variety's sake, but I'd rather no more than that.

That's actually quite an interesting way of looking at it. Reading through the rest of the responses I've been able to relate to all of them in some way, but I never thought of it this way.

Just to say, I have no fear of dying, and I have no doubt that I won't die alone, so I'm pretty content with where I am/where I'm going.

Very interesting perspective indeed.

I wouldn't say that is a fear of mine.

No, I prefer not having my independence constrained.

Studies show that men think about sex every 7 seconds. I do my best to eat hotdogs in under 6, just so things don't get weird.

Please allow me to introduce Myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long year
Stole many a man's soul and faith

Actually, I would prefer to die alone with my own dignity.

Remember the other night, I made a thread when Mrs Charlie was in the hospital. She had to be brought into the ER. While we were there, a guy was brought in. He was overweight, naked, and was found face down in a YMCA gym bathroom.

Its obvious that he probably pushed himself too hard, went to shower, had a heart attack and died.

There was no dignity there. Naked, face down in a bathroom, in such a way that he became the punchline in a joke about fat people. Its OK if you laugh, it IS a little funny.

But its also not. The guy died the butt of a joke. In such a way that I hope for his sake that there isn't an afterlife, as he would be terribly embarrassed. Now, if he passed in his own bed, peacefully in the middle of the night, then at least there is something there. Some dignity in his last moment.

Not a fear for me, just one of those unavoidable certainties, like dentist appointments

Be sure to tell everyone how cool you are. If you don't tell them, they won't know.

A self-loathing, unconfident person will never be happy with himself regardless of what relationship he may find himself in. Secret to love is self-love first. Everything else falls in line after.

Eventually, I believe, you will find somebody who's positive qualities outweigh the negative. Only a self-loathing or, in other-words, probably depressed person will focus only on the negative qualities of his partner (or his life) and never be content.

A lot of people strive for the illusion of perfection, but there is no such thing as perfection and reaching for it will only end in failure and disappointment (because there is no perfection). This can be applied to finding the "perfect" mate or the "right one".

Anyway, you may have think I've gone of tangent but I believe everything you're mentioning is the symptoms of a depressed person first and foremost: everything is only black or white, you dismiss the positives, you're trying to fortune-tell events that haven't happened yet - all cognitive distortions.

Sources - I know and have felt like you do and have recovered from it.

We will die regardless, how it happens will be either favorable or unfavorable. Same could happen to any of us. While I don't believe in an afterlife, I'd like to think if there is one everyone there would gain an ultimate sense of understanding and empathy so nothing like embarrassment would exist.

For whatever reason, while just sitting and thinking, probably a week ago, you will die alone, whether you have a companion or not. They may be there while you're dieing, but they can't follow you after death, into the great unknown(unless they die with you, but that's not something I assume you'd want for someone you love). So, you come into this world by yourself(unless you have a twin) and leave it by yourself(unless you believe in a god, but I'm assuming you mean human companionship and don't wanna turn this into a religious thread).

Now, I'm not afraid to die alone, I'm afraid to die at all, lol. What I'm more afraid of though, is dieing before I make my way in and really experience life, finding a way to make a name for myself, finding love, having a child, perhaps. Y'know, being something worth grieving over.

Dear tomorrow, Find some sensibility, Respond to emotion.
Dear Politician, Define sagacity,
All chances of survival are beginning to diminish.
Comedy is no excuse for our own blasphemies.
Mass media, Mass pessimism, Mass Denial.
My television tells me to panic, but I don't think I'll listen.
The apathetic force us to persevere, with their backwards priorities.

I do not fear dying single with all my relatives being dead.

What I do fear, is dying in black hole, cave, coffin, etc.

That's all I want to do. Is live life the way I want to, to the fullest. Unfortunately, it's a lot more difficult than people realize. For me anyways.

It's hard to be optimistic when you've lived a majority of your life in the negative.

You're absolutely right. Its not easy getting out of pessimistic thinking. It takes time, but ultimately its worth it. The question is, are you willing to take the steps to change what happens in your life?

Also, I don't know if you read my first post in the thread, but there I think I explained most of what I what to say.

A week ago I had a miscarriage with my "fun" buddy. She was a little more than that. We weren't necessarily dating. But we were always hanging around each other. Pretty much a relationship, just wasn't labeled as that. We found out she was pregnant. Overwhelmed by the fact it happened. Scared, but as strange as it is, excited.

We talked it out how we were going to handle everything. With the family and friends. It was something that just stayed between us. Unspoken of. Now were were officially together, no one knew. We were both petrified what everyone was going to say. Since we are so young and haven't achieved our goals and financially stable.

I told her I would stay with her through thick and thin. She said the same. She had the miscarriage. She pretty much exiled me out of her life. It's nice to know she felt obligated to stay with me. Not because she "wanted" to but because she felt she had too. Instead of being honest, she lied.

Of course shes a human being and this was a sudden change to both our lives, it would have been fine if she didn't want me in those aspects. She showed her true colors toward me. She was selfish. It could have been anyone there with her to expose the news. Anyone, so she wouldn't be alone.

I was just the guy that did this to her.

I have that fear, but I don't think I'd stoop that low.
