I know this is morbid as fuck, but I keep thinking about it and its just staying on my mind
I feel more worried about dying without a SIGNIFICANT OTHER than I do about dying GENERALLY to be honest..
Don't fall for it hun, a significant amount of those couples will end up miserable as sini've been to a LOT of weddings this year.. (I'll be on number 5 next week) and I'm very very happy for everyone naturally. They are all wonderful friends and people I value massively in my life. But hearing all their stories about how they fell in love and found this person that 'made them complete' has been really quite a tough thing to hear repeatedly... And your post here is exactly how I feel. I don't want to have died and not really experienced that deep trust and love, or have had the opportunity to make a choice about whether I want more in my life - a house, kids, whatever else it might be. I'm aware that being with a significant other isn't the be all and end all of that - and I've heard all the stuff about love yourself first - but a lot of life is tied down by being in a relationship and I do feel like I've done all the ground work on myself now.
For some of us that isn't so far away. Or at least I'm closer to it in that direction than I am to when this community started.When we are like 70 will we remember Moopy? Will we remember these days?
This is closest to how I feel about it, I think.I worry about illness, pain and suffering. But not death itself.
Agreed. It fills me with terror and they are both cracking on a bit. I struggle to understand how I am supposed to go on without their presence.If anything, I’m terrified of my parents dying.

I presume you mean the LSD overdose rather than being overshadowed by an American President dying.I quite like the idea of going out like Aldous Huxley

What do you want to achieve? Its a question I’ve been asking lately after a bit of a minor meltdown earlier this year.I'm probably not destined to live an exceptionally long life. So my only fear is not achieving what I want. Not being here I don't care about, slow demises although painful are a good opportunity. In short not really. It's no worse than being alive.
In response to dying I am very much with @Star in that I really dread leaving my children. They are semi independent now, and I have made sure when I do pop my clogs that they are more than well provided for but seriously, a mothers love is a blessing but the thought of leaving them leaves my stomach in absolute KNOTS.
This definitely resonates with me, I've always tried to measure success by "am I happy?" before other concerns.The ambition I lack professionally pretty much covers all aspects of my life. I don't feel like there's anything I want to achieve particularly - and certainly nothing I'm striving for. Yes, there are places I haven't visited I'd still like to go and others I'd like to return to, but I don't feel any sense of having massively missed out.
I kind of feel that my life has been bumbling about a bit, fucking things up occasionally but trying to have a nice time on the whole. And for the most part I'm happy with that. On reflection I know plenty of people who have had far worse.

As a single childless gay, I sometimes think about how little devastation I’d leave behind if I died. Yeah the people who love me would be sad (possibly, tbc) but I don’t have any dependents or anyone whose life would be severely impacted if I slipped away.
I’m not planning on it, but you know.
