Not Phased By Death

[partyprobe]

I don't really know really why I am so heartless when it comes to death. I was wondering is it messed up if I don't feel anything when some one dies. Ok I have family members and seen someone die before but I don't feel any thing. Like I don't cry or care that they died. I know every one either gets emotional or brake down seeing a guy colapse in front of you. But death to me is not a big deal. if I was in a war and seen friendly soilders die I already know i could just do what I was doing before with no problem.

[Maydraie]

You don't find death exciting and entertaining?
(If not there is something wrong with you)

[partyprobe]

No but there is just nothing. Like sometimes i just don't feel anything. No excitement, greed, sadness, happiness, nothing. I know im not depressed but i just don't know.

[animex09]

nothing wrong, u just feel diferent about it

[Koopaking]

This makes you a more sensible person than most people, who cry over spilled milk, or killed people.

[Russkie]

Have others around you felt the cold hand of death himself? If you witness this on a frequent basis, then its no surprise you dont get emotional.

I'm exactly the same way.

But you're Russkie. Of course you're not emotional!

[libitina]

ive had 3 or more of my family members die and i dont either
i feel nothing but ive just learned to deal w/ it. nothing can stop them fromdieing its always going to happen and never stop

I'm exactly the same way.

Not many people died in front of me. But I dont feel any emotion.

And party, im the same way. I see someone die but i get over it and sometimes never think about it til a few years later.
And when i do remember a few years later, I dont feel any emotion either.
So I guess I have the same problem as you then.

[Maydraie]

No but there is just nothing. Like sometimes i just don't feel anything. No excitement, greed, sadness, happiness, nothing. I know im not depressed but i just don't know.

You'd make a great undead person or leader of an undead legion

[libitina]

when i see my family die i dont think about it then dont care i know ill see them in the next life time or in dreams

[LoKiWorlD]

Strange...for some reason whenever a family member of mine dies I too don't get sad or cry and even though i see my relatives cry it doesn't matter how hard i try...nothing seems to make an effect. I think it's because i'm optimistic and only do what's necessary in certain situations...crying over and over again to me wouldn't have done anything to change the fact that their dead.

[libitina]

exactly
so y cry
i just wish them good luck in the next life

[AIDA]

death isnt that big a deal. a lot of people make a big fuss about it. but its not that bad.

[Russkie]

But you're Russkie. Of course you're not emotional!

*trys to think of something*

You have a point...

[alsharid]

I feel nothing too, but after few months I miss them.

[AJLUCKY13]

I'd feel pretty sad if it were one of my familly members but then i would just take revenge on russkie

I apologize if I sound skeptical here, it's because I am.

I simply don't believe any average person like you or me or most other people in this forum would feel a bit of an "immunity" towards the feelings of death.

You said you have family members and seen someone die, but was the person who died "in" your family? And if they were, were you particularly close to them?

There are people who would scream if they saw anyone dead. But they aren't screaming because they think "Ah, someone's dead," they're screaming because they're thinking "Ah, I'm about to be next".

The death of someone you don't really know and someone who you hold very close to you are two very different things. It is said that when someone near you dies (and I literally mean "near" here), the first, human thought, is relief that it wasn't them.

I'd imagine some people vary a bit from death experiences and their feelings towards it, but I'm quite sure there's just this inevitable point where if you're faced with death, or the death of someone close to you arrives, there's just no avoiding fear or sorrow.

I'm at a bit of a disadvantage as far as the whole topic goes, mind you. Personally, the only people near me who have died has been a classmate in the grade above me and my grandfather, a long time ago.

I didn't feel sorrow for the classmate because it was a simple car wreck and I hardly spoke to the guy, so all I really felt "Sorry" for was his sister, who was in my grade.

As far as my grandfather goes, I remember when he had died from cancer and the local pastor came to our house to pray to my mom. (She took it very hard considering it was the father on her side of the family). I saw her crying and cried too, but I wasn't really all that sad, it just seemed right.

Now I knew my grandfather quite well, he used to carry me on his shoulders through the house and play other games with me, but I just didn't feel so bad. It's likely because I was too young to really even fathom what death meant, so I'll rest it at that.

But to sum it up, I just don't think you can be so sure of your feelings toward death until it directly affects your life.

wow:o.o: very well put
I also think it depeneds on how close u were to that person...
as for me,i would be sad if the person who died was close to me

[AnimeAtack]

Yes, I agree with you guys. Hearing about a death isn't that sad as most people exagerate about it. but seeing someone die in front of your eyes has a different feeling to it .The person I saw dying in front of me was just a buissiness man dying on the street from a gun shot. I'll remeber that moment forever in my life. He was tugging on my shirt with his knees oin the ground bleeding. All I did was stare at him awkwardly, which is kind of embarasing.

[analogZero]

It's an ever growing trait with people these days. We build very little attachment to those around us and therefore have little bond to be severed when the death of a truly loved one comes along. If you don't feel much when someone or something dies, it's because you probably didn't much care that they were alive, sorry to say. I've lost a good handful of people close to me, and while I did feel bad for those who had a greater attachment, there's only one person I can honestly say I miss almost every day. Insensitive perhaps, but on the other hand most people wouldn't help somebody in the street if they were in a life or death situation. they'd avoid it so they don't get involved, or call for help so somebody else can do it. We've just grown detached, plain and simple. you're going to be about as likely to care about some random person's death as you are to saying hello to strangers on the street. But we'll all die one die and nobody'll give a crap about that either.
let's go see what's on tv.

My ultimate goal in life is to wipe out 99.99% of the human population and start over with the left over chosen people and rule as the first emperor of the whole world!!

[Klard]

You'd make a great undead person or leader of an undead legion

I have that wrapped up quite nicely, thank you very much.

But on a more serious note, yes I've experienced the death of some people around me. My neighbor and good friend shot himself in the head a few years ago. I still miss him. Not so much the person as the feeling of having a friend who would give you booze even though you were underage, and who grew his own corn in his backyard in town. He was a guy who would blow things up in his front yard for the hell of it.


Here's to you Crazy Dave! You were the best neighbor who nailed snake skins to his tree ever!

[analogZero]

better make it 99.9999%. fewer minions means less odds of a revolt.

[Kurotachi]

the only tme i have cried when someone has died was my grandpa but he was my best friend from the time i was born till the time he had died and that i would never be able to see him till i am dead if that is how things work and there is no one was that close to then nor will i ever be that close with someone again... so idk for me its normal not to cry when someone dies its just death... it happens to everyone its all the matter of when it will be the time for the next one to go... so dont cry its just a waste of eye lubrication..and im not afraid of death either so why should i cry when someone dies?

[atomsk]

welll i med death once you know what he said. "you and evrey know you know and love will f______ DIE

[mszjay14]

[analogZero]

not with that kind of support he won't.

[leerock89]

Lets just say when I do this it will be done biologically and chemically so that it ensures the percentage.

[Unknown]

welll i med death once you know what he said. "you and evrey know you know and love will f______ DIE

No, that's just common sense.

[Kurotachi]

i agree with unknown and btw atomsk learn how to type and speak english,,, dick..

[carolyn07]

...i guess your just in reality,.coz in reality we all have to die!,.

me!,.

i easily cry to those coz of pity!,.im scared of this!,.but im not scared of me dying,.

as much as possible,.i dont want to die this early coz i want to do more stuffs,.but if its my time,.i accept it!,.

but!,.i dont like the people i love to die!,.

naaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!,.i dont like!,.♥

[atomsk]

you want me to speak proper english then ok
a wise man once said that one thinks therefore he is. however, in light of this a question must be asked. if we exist due to cerebral imagination, who's imagination compiles together as planet earth or the universe?
not a single gramatic or spelling mistake

[Kurotachi]

yay... im not afraid of death nor do i care when i die... sometimes i think this world is better off with out someone like me...

[FoX66]

You are not alone. I too feel nothing when a loved one dies, or watching it.

[Ryuzaki]

I actually kind of chuckle when i found out someone dies it may make me sound heartless though

[Kenshy]

i agree with unknown and btw atomsk learn how to type and speak english,,, dick..

Perhaps you should take a few grammatical lessons before directing others to do so.

(You cannot make an ellipsis out of commas.)

[RavynMK]

Death is not the end so there really is no need to feel anything... If it was someone you cared about when you die you'll see them again when you die so no big problems there..... if it's someone you don't know then there are no emotional ties or anything so it isn't expected..... I was laughing histerically at my uncles viewing..... they had to seperate thescryer and I from different rooms and everyone was looking at us like we were the most aweful children in the world..... but to us it was no big deal.... and we loved our uncle... but he died doing what he loved.... which was drinking alcoholic bevearages..... besides.... he was funny and awesome to hang out with..... but we were the only ones who where unfazed we could laugh and ignore everything going on around us... of course I was uncomfortable looking at a dead body but it was like a normal day..... We had a party afterwords.... fun times....

[stanmarsh]

All people feel pain diffrently, some try to make jokes, some weep and some just arnt phased by it and some feel they went somwere that its all better its all how u look at it

[Holly-Sama]

You aren't wrong for dealing with death differently than someone else. We all have our ways of dealing. Just because you feel indifferent toward death doesn't mean that you're heartless.

[Kurotachi]

eh its cause i hit the wrong button how about you think before you speak?

i welcome death cause when i die and go to hell m taking hell over it wll be my domain... >:|

[soulten]

I've had enough death around me it just doesn't scare me. I just accept it. I'm not if that's a good thing.

[LoKiWorlD]

Not long ago a dead person was found in the woods behind my house. First thought in my mind was..."So thats what that smell was..."

[Kurotachi]

eh idc about death ive seen someone shot to death infront of me in chicagos ghetto

[ichigogirl]

It doesn't make you a bad person, it just makes you stronger.

[Neoliger]

Well, I was thinking about this the other days. I think I could be a hit man with out any remorse, then it comes to death. I just don't feel it.

[jyuukai]

I always say that death is a part of life. It's inevitable. Whether or not you choose to accept it it will happen. Whenever I tell people this they call me psycho, evil, child of Satan, etc. I just say 'thank you' ^^

[Neoliger]

Death is the final fronteer, no matter who you are.

[justblazze]

man are u emo _>>

wtf? LOL, they call you psycho/evil for stating a fact?
Clearly, they are retarded.

[Waste]

Death.
I accepted it a long time ago, it doesn't scare me, if i die then i hope i go inside the world in my mind, that would be my idea of heaven.

[Lince]

I'd probably be sad if someone I knew died, but that hasn't happened yet so maybe not. I'm not at all scared of death though, that's for sure. :dance:

[Axe Man]

No I ouldn't say say anything is wrong with you. I feel the same way. death is something that cannot be avoided why drag it out?

[BlueSano]

actually ...it makes you ..you ...i am the same way... i see ppl breaking down ..and ppl die around me... but i feel nothing... i just do what i gotta do .. and deal with it .. if you are called heartles then maybe i am too

[conigwolf]

you people are sad you know that right

[CloudX21]

Yea death can't be avoided. I'm not scared of death, I will just accept it when it's time.

[am0184]

I see an assassin in the making *evil grin* good, i've been low on skilled hitmen for a while now.
