Death is inevitable, fearing it is no different than fearing you'll get wet after you jump in a pool. I don't think death is something people should be afraid of, life is more painful than death, death is when all the pain goes away. Not to say that we shouldn't embrace life though, it's the only one we've got. My biggest fear is potatoes. Seriously. Comparing the fear of death to the fear of getting wet kind of puts me off. While I can understand your perspective, I definitely don't agree that death is something people shouldn't be afraid of. I notice that a lot of people that do not fear death are the same people who are comfortable with the idea of an afterlife. Unfortunately, I don't share that same comfortableness. When I die, the most reasonable thing that will happen (to me) is that my brain will shut down and I will no longer exist. The idea of not existing to me is absolutely terrifying. I understand that if I don't exist then I wouldn't notice it, but that's the thing.. There will be no "I" to notice anything. Sure, the pain will goes away when I do, but so will the love, happiness, and everything else. I suppose my fear of death also stems from a fear of the unknown. I'd also like to know why you are afraid of potatoes. PICTURE RELATED... It's death :/ I don't believe in an afterlife, I refuse to waste my emotion of fear on something I KNOW will happen, regardless of what comes next.

My Phobias: - Hematophobia (fear of blood) - Aquaphobia (fear of water) in regards to swimming - Acrophobia (fear of heights) in regards to both being in an elevated place, looking down, or being in a lower place looking up at something (example: a tall building).

Walking into the girl's bathroom on accident. I did that once when I was like 11 at the movie theatre. Everything was backwards.

Trypophobia, I haz it Srsly T.T Fear of circles and holes? Yeah, but its more like fear of clusters of holes. Like, if I see a picture of a lotus seed pod, I'll freakk out. Idk why, I srsly think its such a stupid phobia.
