How the FUCK do you cope with death? Everything, literally everything, is going to die, even the universe at some point...

you submit everything to me

The absurdness of life begets the freedom to pursue one's own goals. Death nullifies all, and absolves all, kid.

OOGA BOOGA, DEATH MAKE user SCARED, DEATH BAD

i almost died from leukemia when i was 13 and all i felt was relief

This but unironically.

If you’re planning on shortening your time alive then death must not concern you too much.

It does because it's all going to be futile. I only do it because it gives me a quick rush of domapine and endorphin.

came here to post this

If it’s all futile, why worry about it? You have complete freedom to do as you please. I understand that it would be preferable if we could choose when we die, and it’s natural to be frightened by things out of our control, but the freedom a meaningless, inconsequential existence produces must be of some consolation.

I understand and agree with everything that you said in a rational sense, but when it comes to feeling, i can only feel despair when thinking about these things. I think that it has to do with the awareness that things don't matter in the universal sense, but on a daily basis, they do matter. It does matter if you treat your mom like shit or you're a good son. It matters if you have a good relationship with your peers in college or work. Both for your mental health, and for society, even if on an small scale. But then people like me (depressed people in general, faggots in general) want more than this. We want these actions to matter on an universal scale. We're narcissists, i believe.

Why do the small things matter, like a relationship with your mom or peers, if all of them are going to cease to be? Why does it matter if you’re a good person or not? Good and bad ultimately subjective; everyone has their own conception of what good and bad are. In order to reap the utmost freedom you must forgo any moral bindings you feel, or simple create your own - not follow the ones placed before you by others.

this. God loves you.

No he fucking doesn’t

Shut up faggot.

There is literally nothing here worth sticking around for. Unless we're talking about some fantasy scenario like ascending to Godhood or embarking on some epic quest I'd prefer dying quickly rather than lingering.

You're right, that is some peak cope

Butterfly, come on now, you will find faith eventually, god has been in your life all along, even if you don't see it. faith isn't about believing a skydaddy, its a refreshing way to interpret the world and the blessings in your life, if it makes you a better and more loving and grateful person, why run from it? for me its about appreciating the world around me, and the things in my life, I went to a catholic school and it was all bullshit to me, I literally would sleep in mass. it takes a load off your shoulders knowing there is a plan for you, its just perspective, one that i prefer more than feeling hateful and vindictive about my very existence.

Chill, read Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius.

The comfort of death will come to men and demons alike.

What's there to cope with? Everything has a beginning, middle, and end. You should be reassured by knowing all things come to an end. Why do you want anything to last forever?

The same way I’ll remember how to not ride a bike.

There's anti-ageing research being developed right now which might prolong life indefinitely and thus delaying death for centuries. Depending on your age, you might benefit from anti-ageing therapy and even if you don't, just read Epicureanism.

those afraid of death are most dangerous, and, ironically, should be killed.

I know it may not feel like the facts but you are eternal. this world does not define you

"Being remembered" is a cope for having a shitty life. Just try to live a good life that you enjoy instead.

Read the Bible

Pathetic

Why are they the most dangerous? I would have thought those who weren't afraid would be the most dangerous, since they would have no limits

He still does and always will, even if you poison yourself with hormone pills and chop your dick off for no real discernible reason.

Enjoy writhing in inexistence while i dab on your graves.

That shit is not coming in our life time. If it did, overpopulation would become a huge issue, so the technology would be suppressed. Maybe focus on coming to terms with what in all likelihood is inevitable for you instead of throwing all your mental energy into a huge cope

You are not afraid of death, you are afraid of the infinite. Consider that I told you that when you died you would be asleep for 10 trillion years then awaken as if no time had passed, would you be ok? Your answer is yes of course. Now consider that I were to tell you that when you die you actually end up staring at the last thing you saw for all eternity, this would be an extremely distressing proposition. So the first thing to do in addressing your fear is to realise what aspect you are afraid of, precisely. It is not in your case pain or death, but rather the huge unimaginable expanse of infinite. Of having been then suddenly no longer being...ever.
The next step to realise is that infinite produces such a profound sense of despair because infinite is an abomination, it does not exist anywhere in nature, it is a paradox that cannot exist. Consider a void, nothingness, were a void to be bounded it could no longer be a void since the fact that it is bounded would mean it has some implicit order, thus it cannot truly be total absence. The presence of something negates the possibility of nothing. Since we know that something exists (this universe) we know that nothing does not exist therefore infinite does not exist in any facet of the grand sum of this cosmos. Thus we can conclude that you fear something that is incomprehensible and does not exist: eternity. Your fear is irrational. Even if it were to take 100^100^100^100^100 years for you to exist again, you will exist again. This is in fact a statistical certainty as even 'heat death' is an impossible process to fully understand. If the universe could turn into nothing it would already be nothing, there will always be something and if there is always something there will eventually be everything. From nothing you can never have something, from something you can never have nothing.

Read on Terror Management Theory
Coping mechanisms go from delusion (i.e. religion) to having children. I would say the most successful way to cope is to make meaningful connections with others e.g. have sex.

It may be for scholars but not for ordinary people, for most people it’s a cope with impermanence and a lack of objective morality
because I cannot possibly comprehend or make any good guess at any god/gods or afterlife that may exist I just don’t think about it, I’ll have a family and raise children as best I can, then try not to let death bother me because I’m not in a position to do anything about it and if there is nothing I won’t be around to know

Try to see the remaining beautiful things in this (((rotten))) world and try to save them for the future people. Life is just a train, and the end destination is Heaven, just enjoy the ride and appreciate the landscapes

t. paganbeta who got cucked by a couple of Catholichads

There's this brief moment in the morning, after you wake up from the void, where you literally have to remind yourself to participate in the world again. Take that moment as a reminder that none of this will matter once your brain shuts down for the last time.
Also, when your brain is low on dopamine and serotonin, you stop actually caring about anything that's going on around you. I've experienced this so many times, the absurdity of everything has been literally rammed down my throat at this point.

Therefore I've come to accept that life is meaningless, and that none of what I do actually matters in the end. But I try to make it an experience that's as pleasant for me and others as possible. Some days it's harder to achieve than others, but well who really gives a shit in the end. Learn to suffer, and carry the burden as long as you can.

The only thing I'm afraid of now is the pain that will inevitably precede my eventual demise. Whether it be a drawn out illness or an accident, I don't know, but I am still very afraid of the process of dying, when your body fights with all it's might to keep you alive.
After that, sweet nothingness, eternal sleep. That's fine by me.

If you're scared of death so much go get beat up by some cops

How do you even cope with being alive? death is such a comforting idea to me, nothing gives me relief more than the thought that one day I'll just cease to exist, that no matter how bad my life gets, I always have a door open for me to end it all.

Cope

Low test

Trips is a faggot

Alcohol.
When I was very young, about 7 I talked about god, life, death, heaven and hell with a friend. He said that he would rather be in hell that cease to exist.
I am not sure about that, but I definitelly fear losing my consciousness.

READ. THE. BIBLE.

Normies just have sex to cope, but
1. That's even bigger cope (it's just trying to ignore the problem).
2. Seeing as you made this post, you probably can't get laid.

Everything you have is more than you were guaranteed, no matter how bad it is. Make the best out of it, you won a cosmic lottery just being here beating out billions of other sperm.

As for the rest, you've imbued impermanence with importance which is a value it does not inherently possess. Nothing in the universe lasts forever, it's why we're here, so that better things can come after that which paves the way. We really don't understand how everything works, and I suspect that even when the universe dies it gives birth to countless others

Stop giving unobtainable goals value and they will cease having them. Figure out what makes you happy and do it. All meaning is man-made, so create some that works for you. "Nothing matters" is everyone's default state, things only matter if you want them to

ITT: not a single good answer

life and death aren't just two sides of an instant in time. we're surrounded by death constantly, and only very rarely do we even catch a glimpse of life. what you call life, i call death. don't lie to yourself - you cling to death - you commit a little suicide every day.

People are the opium of the socialists.

Quite nicely, thank you.

By recognizing that it’s absurd and irrational to spend any time agonizing over something that you have absolutely no control over and couldn’t possibly understand until it happens.

How do we know we only get one shot at life? This life, for sure. But it probably goes in a circle, like the Lion King.

Nothing really happens anytime ever

Thats the problem. Youre too focused on the end goal of any activity you do. If you really want to start living life, learn to enjoy the moment. You should do art for arts sake, not so that what youll do will have an impact on the world. Ironically when you start genuinely doing something for the sake of that something, the end product becomes better. You say that you genuinely enjoy the creative process, but deep down this fixation on the futilesness of your efforts is whats crippling you. You still care about the end goal.

Start meditating. Maybe take some acid and listen to some alan watts lectures.

Dude, there are 4 year old girls that die every day and they aren’t nearly as big of pussies as you are. You will NOT escape death. You life will be permanently extinguished one day. Quit being a whiney faggot and go live life to the fullest.

>How do you cope with the fact that you only have 1 (one) shot at life and your life is fucking terrible?
Your brain does it automatically. It's impossible not to cope.

They're not whining because they are too stupid to comprehend the despair of it all. You may as well raise some brain dead dog as an example of a living being that doesn't care about death.
Lack of despair in the face of death is a sign of lack of intelligence. Exhibit 1: You.

The grief of the religious is the most severe.

A dreamless sleep is something I have no memory of whatsoever. it's a void. You could also compare it to a narcosis, if you've ever been through one. You literally fall into a void and somehow come back out at the other end.
If the doctors decided to kill me while I was under I wouldn't ever know it, the void would just last forever.
I know it's hard to deal with this feeling, but it's the burden every sufficiently self-aware living being has to carry. I always wonder just how sheltered people who still believe in an afterlife must live their lives. If you've ever taken a long walk in nature, and have observed it with sufficient intelligence and honesty, you will know this life is all there is.

But why?

Dude, there are year old girls that die every day and they aren’t nearly as big of pussies as you are. You will NOT escape death. You life will be permanently extinguished one day. Quit being a whiney faggot and go live life to the fullest.

Your heart will stop pumping. The blood in your brain will coagulate causing irreversible destruction at the cellular level. Rigor mortis will kick in and you will be stiff as a plank. You will be brought to a mortician and will have the clothes stripped off your cold, lifeless body. Everyone will laugh at your small penis. They will drain your blood and pump you full of embalming fluid. Some creepy old dude is going to put a suit on you, and have to zip up your pants around your small, cold penis. He will apply makeup to your face and you will be put on display for all your friends and family to see. You’ll be out into the cold dark earth where you will decompose. Maggot will chew away your tiny penis. Worms will wiggle through your eye sockets. Your tombstone will deteriorate. Nobody will know or care a out who you were. Your bones will rot in the cold earth. There is nothing you can do.

Most individuals who claim that they fear death, actually fear pain, and are averse to martial adventure, as opposed to those ones who know pain, and consequently - know themselves, through martial adventure, and who welcome transition of worldly death.
