Is she weird or just overly prepared for the future?

I have this friend who’s super weird ( some of you may know which one I’m talking about)

And she has this weird superstition in which she doesn't like planning things more than 6 months in advanced because she says that she might die and that life isn’t guaranteed. 😬

For example, a few of my friends and I are planning a trip to Orlando sometime this year. And when we asked her about it she was like “ idk, I may not be around” She even has her funeral arrangements planned apparently… 🪦

That’s kinda weird right? She’s a lovely, positive girl overall except for this.

It’s good to acknowledge that we can die at any time to help you appreciate things more, but if you don’t want to plan for anything, that makes me wonder if you appreciate at all.

@Reject exactly
Like I don’t get it
She has a nice career, house and loving family but for some reason she’s very adamant that life can end at any moment

@Ashly Hmm. She might be trying to avoid getting too attached to things knowing that they can suddenly go away. You should tell her it’s better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all. You’ve heard that quote, right?

@Reject yes I have
This is just the way she’s always been, maybe something to do with her Past?

I don’t mean to disrespect her in any way by posting this it’s just something that I think is odd and I would like other people’s opinions

@Ashly I don’t think it’s disrespectful! You’re just curious about your friend and maybe a little concerned. That’s how all friends should be. It is indeed a little odd, but my biggest worry there is not wanting to plan anything. That’s not good for anyone. So I hope she can find reasons be excited about the future again.

@Reject thank you for understanding 🫂 life is meant to be enjoyed and lived
We’re all gonna go sometime, when that happens, it’s just the way it is

@Ashly Of course. You’re right too. Enjoy and live life! Don’t hide from it. I’d try to talk to her about it just to be sure of things. That could really help.
