Why are men like this? 😵‍💫

It’s easy to be brave in an imagined scenario.

While I have absolutely no fear about being dead, I am mildly apprehensive about the process...

I almost died once and had an intense near death experience, I was ready to die... I was not afraid, it felt good, comfortable and safe.... I still remember it clearly and this experience took away a little bit the fear of dying... not completely, because I hope that I will not have to go until I am old, very old and I wish for a gentle, pleasant transition to this other form of being, where our souls are actually free from pain and suffering and where our loved ones are waiting for us with open arms. :)

I have decided that I will never die until I feel like it.

I have. I do not fear death, I only hope I go very quickly, not lingering with palliative care.

How do you know that 9 out of 10 men have thought about it deeply and are not afraid? Have done a scientif study about it?

I doubt that most of them have seriously thought about death. In Western societies most people try to ignore the fact that we are all mortal.

I do not think any living creature wants to go before it's time.
I imagine younger men think the way you said because they fear almost nothing.

Thing is, it is like in every grave scenario that xists, it kills men earlier than women. After a while men are probably more accepting of a possible early demise. Not without fear thoug

For a start men thinking deeply is an Oxymoron. Men thinking about death very unlikely; they are reticence enough even to go to the Doctor as it is.

I am calling you out on this one.

Surely you jest. The true figure is more likely 1/10.

I don't know if I've really thought that much about it, but I'm not afraid of it, because I'm a believer.
My sister was very brave. She suffered a lot of pain (colon cancer). Maybe her example strengthens me.
My mother died three years ago. Given the degree of dementia that she suffered, death was a blessed relief.
I was at my friend's deathbed on Monday (lung cancer). Not pleasant, but inevitable.

I can only speak for myself on this.

It's a natural process and it happens to everyone. I'm at peace with that. However, I've never given any thought as to how it might happen. There's no way of knowing this with any certainty.

I don't think it has anything to do with gender and more to do with life experiences.
Also I think men are socialized to see their own death as a more acceptable loss and has less intrinsic value then a woman or child's death. Just look at how men's lives are treated historically. So perhaps more men do think about it.
In general though, I think the more contact you have with facing death, the more you think about it, I think. Really, I find I'm more morbid then anybody I know. I have no fear of dying.

I'm the queen of morbid.

I think whether we've faced our own mortality (male or female) depends to a large extent on our life experiences:

1) Have we had a near death experience?

2) Have we watch a loved one die?

And also due in part to our beliefs about an afterlife. Do we view this life as all there is? Or as simply step one in our journey?

Its just a fact of life L. ..,

Its a gift
Live life to your potential, do what needs to be done and accomplish all your dreams now while you can..,👍

It's all part of the process.
Actually for me it helped me live my life more fully. I'm an existentialist so this is it and it is short and yours to do with as best you can

It's going to happen to everyone. I think just make best use of the time we have, personally.

We've a one out of one chance of dying... Everyone one of us faces those odds...

true

Sounds like me, not sure if it's 9/10 I'm usually the weird one

why fear something that naturally happens to us all?

Is this not something humans do?

🤣

I continue to think about dying and how I'm going to be dead someday....and I'm still scared of dying.
If I live another 15 days, I will be older than any male ancestor on my father's side of the family

Lady Death had cancelled our dates every time she was supposed to come.
She had the most creative excuses for.
Seems she friend zoned me for years.
She still have the power but not the charm over me.

I've actually died twice. & almost died so many times. It's not really scary tbh. It's just nothing when it happens.

Like I always say, I don't care if I die because I'll be too dead to care 🤷

I have. 🤦‍♂️

Dunno, I can only speak for myself. The thought has crossed my mind, tho I try to push it out of my head when it happens

I have had to face death and have made my peace with it

What? Where? How?

No, I am not good with dying.

Yes .i have nightmares about dying. I am scared shit less

I am wanting to see what the experience brings lol

I grew up in a very bad area where blacks would just as soon shoot you, stab you or beat you to death with a club. I learned early how to fight with the intention of convincing them I was not a person to mess with by the age of 12. I was shot at three different times, had two attempts with knives and one with a club but things did not end well for them. Three friends died due to these types of acts, two friends died from overdoses of drugs or alcohol and two committed suicide. I never expected to live past 18. However I would not trade the way I grew up for the way kids are growing up today as they are whimps and are being educated by liberal academia which turns them into sheep.

I thought about it pretty deeply, but I'm still scared to die.

I know how i'm going to die and no not scared at all

I almost died a few times. I definitely was scared as shit and a crying mess. Most say that until it actually happens.
