Why Always Thinking About Death?

[Azunite]

Why do I always think about death? Seriously. I think about my friends' deaths, I always imagine myself trying to help their parents arrange their funerals, people are like: "I'm sorry for your loss man, I knew she was a very close friend of yours" etc... I see myself at their graves, standing there, alone...


Or I think about my death, how would people find it out, ( my friends, etc ), how would they react...

Is it because I want more attention? Is it because I know that everyone will start to think about me, care for me when I die? Like Dr. House said: When you die, people suddenly start to like you.

I think about this stuff too. I guess maybe it is being unsure about how people feel or what they think. I know that deep down (regardless of how hard-ass people wanna come off) everybody wants to be liked and know they're liked.

Death is so final and it is that time where people think about the deceased and try to encapsulate all the experiences they've had. I guess it's not so strange that we try to 'see' what people would do or how they would be when we die.

Thinking about friends dying helps us explore what we really think about them. How they impact our lives. How would life be without them, etc.

Thanks for starting this thread. It's actually nice to know that somebody else does this. I know I probably didn't help you at all, but it helped me to put my own thoughts into perspective about this. Thanks again! :)

I think about that too... I sometimes think, "What if I died? Who would come to my funeral? Who would cry? Who would miss me?" I seldom think about my friends' deaths, but when I do, I just imagine myself going into a deep, quiet, depression. For some reason, when I imagine my friends' deaths, I always imagine that I get less attention...

I share similar sediments, I've always wondered who are the ones that would attend my funeral when I'm gone.

Like Crywolf had mentioned, I guess I'm in doubt of the impression I create in others, whether if they would be there till my debt is to pay.

Perhaps I'm just paranoid.
