If I had my way, I'd die peacefully in my sleep at 90 years old, surrounded by family. Cheesy maybe, but dying alone is one of the saddest things I can imagine.
I haven't got a clue. I just hope it's (relatively) painless.
No, I'd rather it be kept a secret. I really don't need that added stress tbh.
I've got a strong will to live and see tomorrow, so it's hard to imagine wanting to die for me personally. But I've thought of what circumstances that would make me actually want to die. If I was terminally ill, like a prognosis of a few months, I'd live until it was too much of a burden to others, then I'd just want to find a drug or something and die in my sleep. I don't want to be a financial burden on someone.
How I think I'll die? Disease. Heart disease or gastrointestinal cancer, since I've always had stomach issues and I've always had blood pressure issues. I'd rather leave this world while I was still relatively happy and healthy, and haven't had drowned my family in medical bills, so I'd want to leave pretty soon after having a terminal prognosis so my family remembered me as I was, not what disease would make me be.
If I could know... I'd say no. Time has always been a bit of an issue with me. I live on a schedule, just about everything in my life I do with a timetable set in mind. So if I knew, I think that I'd micromanage and panic about everything I did. I'd be angry when anything wasted my time, I'd be less generous and more selfish. I don't want to know, I don't think I could handle knowing when I'd die. Because life would be lived by what's left, not what might come.
That being said, are you willing to divulge your thoughts of your own opinion on your own possible mortality?
Edit
Also, I started thinking about it, if in a sort of situation where I could save a great many others by sacrificing myself, say in some dramatic and crazy situation, I'd probably volunteer myself to take the riskiest job if I was qualified to spare someone else the fate or risking their life. Kinda like... I'm generally the one whom takes care of my home when it's just me and my sis, many a time have we heard noises from downstairs that scared us and I'd be the one sneaking around to try and find the source while she stays hidden or follows behind me. I'd like to die a hero, or I'd die saving a great many people if need be.
Slow enough that I can make peace with it or so fast I never know what hit me.
EDIT : Oh, and I like to keep my dignity intact. I already have an advanced directive (perks of having a sister in law school). There will be no keeping me alive on breathing tubes and shit. One of my biggest fears is being in a vegetative state without an exit.
Probably heart disease or something, cancer is thankfully very rare in my family. Either that or one of those damn hybrids will punch my ticket. It may sound funny, but those things are silent death for people who can't see well.
Pffffft fuck no! Surprise me.
I'm stealing this.
And not at all.
As for the first part, I don't really have a specific way I would want to die. The less pain the better. Something really memorable would be fun (not in an infamous way, but like not having my parachute open while skydiving or something).
The second part all I have to say is that I don't plan on living too far into my 50s, 60s at the latest, if you catch my drift.
I would definitely want to know when I was going to die. I could have my affairs in order and have the most fun I could until the last moment. They always say, "live like you're dying" but you can't really do that unless you know you're dying!
Hahaha that just made my night.
Glad to be of service.
I'm serious about the hybrids though.
In my sleep, of old age. So that way I don't have to suffer, and I have time to say goodbye to friends and family.
Probably in a car accident or beat up badly or something. I'm not very good at concentrating, and I tend to make people angry by accident.
Nah
In a blaze of fucking glory! Why? Cause that's they way id prefer dying.
I have no idea, any death will suit me as long as it is quick.
Yeah I would.
How would you like your life to end? And why would you want to die this way? Beheaded with the most built up momentum and quickiest blow by an Axe in my sleep or shot in the head also in my sleep, why? Because I don't want to live anymore probably.
How do you actually think your life will end? And why do you think you will die this way?
Executed, death sentence. Why? I prefer to keep the reason undisclosed.
If you could, would you want to know when and how you were going to die? Sure but I am pretty sure it's impossible to predict the future because it doesn't exist. It's more of an abstract kind of thing.
Knife fight, because badass.
Car crash, because it's going to be ugly.
And no.
I would like to die of Old age I guess. I'm curious about the future whether if its good/bad
Tbh I'll probably die from some cancer or some shit. I been having some health problems lately, and I've been to the ER like twice in a year for chest/side pains. I would prefer not to die like that but you know shit happens.
Fuck no.
I want to die of old age. I want to live as long as possible because I love life.
Being murdered. It's a beautiful yet filthy world we live in. It's a filthy goddamn helpless world with a lot of nasty inhumane idiots.
No. If I knew that then that's pretty much all I would think about and nothing else.
I want to get crushed by a runaway semi truck driven by the Incredible Hulk.
Getting crushed by a runaway semi truck driven by the Incredible Hulk. It better happen.
Nah, I'd like it to be a surprise when I get crushed by a runaway semi truck driven by the Incredible Hulk.
And yes, I was making a Futurama joke with this post.
Well, don't hurt anyone...
As for telling the future, yes it's likely impossible. Not because time doesn't exist, but the implications of transferring data through time and space is much too daunting even if you had the ability to do it. But I wasn't approaching the question from a point of probability lol
Woah. Things get deep in the telltale community.
I entirely plan on living forever. I love life and when driving down the road or at random moments I'll reflect on it and appreciate every facet of it. Even(and sometimes especially) the tough times. I'm a frickin' weirdo like that. So there's no way that I would really prefer to die aside from, I suppose, late in life and from natural causes.
I'll die young, maybe in a car wreck, or from a deadly disease I didn't know about. There isn't a real reason I think this, just an unfortunate suspicion/fear/paranoia I get.
And to your last question, yes and no. I think I really would like to know, because I would want to do my best to do everything I ever wanted before that point, but I'm terrible with due dates. I'll put everything off and then panic as the time approaches. Nothing will get done till I'm lying in my death bed begging the nurse to let me go bungee jumping.
- Peacefully/old age because I don't wanna suffer while dying and I wanna see how the world has changed from the day I was born till the day I die.
2. How do you actually think your life will end? And why do you think you will die this way?
- Yea everyone dies at some point. I probably won't die the way I want to tho, It's the most common way to die think.
3. If you could, would you want to know when and how you were going to die?
- lmao no, if I did I would be scared my whole life knowing my fate.
So deep though lmfao
How do I think I'll leave this world?
In my late 40s, sitting alone in my small flat in front of a TV/computer screen. An unfortunate heart attack due to many years of unhealthy overeating, drinking, and who knows what else.
Talked with my mother recently about how she wants to be buried. Really heavy stuff but what she wants is to die while she is still herself. She doesn't want to get so old she has to go live in a nursing home or not be able to remember who she is. So she told me, when she was ready, she wanted to go to Nepal, and go up Everest as high as she could with me and my brother and be left up there. And even though I know that's hopefully 40 yrs from now at the soonest, it still breaks my heart thinking about that. I even tried joking with her that I'd at least be guaranteed to achieve my dream of making it past base camp, but thinking about that is really hard.

I'm weird too
Old Age, just to live a full life.
> How do you actually think your life will end? And why do you think you will die this way?
A few different ways are possible...Assassination, disease, some kind of crash...Normal stuff that could happen everyday, less of the assassination part.
> If you could, would you want to know when and how you were going to die?
I would like to know when but not how, at least if I know when then I know the schedule I gotta keep, however if I don't know how then I'll never be afraid of one certain thing.
The government has been talking about requiring hybrid and electric cars to be fitted with noisemakers.
It sounds nuts, but its a genuine problem.
Actually the Pedestrian Safety Enhancement Act of 2010 stipulates that artificial noisemakers must be installed, but the automaker lobby has successfully delayed implementation until 2018 or later.
No warning. I want it to be at a completely random point between now and infinity. It doesn't matter so much exactly how. Preferably painless, but if its quick, I could deal with some pain.
Probably in a car accident. I got rear-ended yesterday at a red light. There are so god-damned many bad drivers out there.
Already answered this. Fuck no. I wouldn't even want a ballpark estimate of the time or a hint of how. I've seen the movies. I know how it goes. You spend the end of your life obsessing about your death and you end up causing it with your obsession. No thank you.
Its going to happen sooner or later though. They like using the silent feature in their commercials. Once the novelty wears off and these vehicles become commonplace, they'll come around.
Hopefully. Corporate greed just floors me sometimes. "Those senseless deaths are unfortunate, but what about our bottom line?"
Well first off right now I don't really want it to end but if it is I want to go in a badass way. I'll probably end up indirectly killing myself out of ignorance or stupidity. I don't want to know when or how cuz that'll spoil the ending, like reading the last chapter of a book.
I don't know how I'll die, but I want a painless or quick death. Maybe I'd like to leave this world in an interesting kind of way, like hit by a meteor or in a volcanic eruption (I'm not kidding here)
Definitely don't want to die in a hospital. (I've seen that shit enough, it's not good for anyone) Never wanted to live for a 100 years, when I die I want to be aware of who I am.
So yeah, I surely don't want to live forever. Sometimes I even fear I'd commit suicide somewhen, or simply die because of my own stupidity.
Even though I'm a curious person I don't want to know how or when I will die. Knowing my fate would destroy my sanity.
Suicide/To avoid serious pain
Suicide/To avoid serious pain
Yes
I'd like to live a long and healthy life and die of old age. I'd like to die peacefully in my sleep because I'm so scared of long and painful deaths. I've been having some breathing issues lately and I used to have asthma when I was a child so I'm terrified of no longer being able to breathe. I'm also scared of accidents.
Honestly I think that if we all knew when we were going to die we wouldn't be able to enjoy life, we would keep thinking about it, at least I know I would. So I'd rather not know how and when I'm gonna die, I just hope I achieve everything I want before it happens.
ASAP, quick and painless, hopefully dying for something I believe in but I get killed by accident. I think it's pretty self explanatory.
I'm not sure actually. I doubt I'd die of old age. I don't think anybody would try to kill me. I'm not gonna suicide. Maybe I'd just starve in a forest. Who knows.
No. Surprise me.
MARTYR ME
When I'm old, a painless death, and I kind of want to know that it's coming- the whole dying in your sleep in the middle of the night doesn't really appeal to me.
I think ill go out being old and all that I said or I could imagine myself dying in some stupid way being young.
Not really because I would probably end up thinking about it too much.
How would you like your life to end? And why would you want to die this way?
Being killed by Batman it will prove no matter your convictions or beliefs we are all nothing but sophisticated animals when the chips are down we show our true selves
How do you actually think your life will end? And why do you think you will die this way?
Hilariously tragic killed by the batman we both will die probably that's the only way it will end our endless cycle of games
If you could, would you want to know when and how you were going to die?
A joke is never funny if you already know the punchline
By redeeming myself for all the bullshit I've put other human beings through in my entire life, because I feel like an asshole about everything.
Probably by being in the wrong place at the wrong time, and then being an asshole about it.
Nah. That takes the suspense and horror out of it. What'll keep me up at night in constant suffering if I already know what's coming? Details man, they are important.
Electrocuted by a toaster.
Accidentally fall from the height in the mountains. The nature is gorgeous, I could experience flying, got an extreme attack of adrenaline on the way and it would be quick and painless, I imagine it like that at least.
Because of a heart attack, in the bed at home surrounded by family.
No. If I'd know, my perception of life would be crushed and I don't want my last years or weeks to become tainted.
How would I like to die? Surronded by family (if I have any by then), having finished watching the last episode of whatever TV show I obsess over, fanta in hand and in the company of the cat I most certainly would have (because I fuckin' love them to death). This is not a joke, by the way. I am actually serious about this. I would want to die in this scenario if I had a choice.
How do I think my life shall end? Good question. I am still a youth, and hence I cannot say much on this. If I had to answer, I would say old age. I live in a country and age where nothing less is generally expected.
Would I want to know how and when I was to die? NO! I will die when I shall and that shall be that. I am bad enough with anxiety already and I most certainly do not need a date and time looming over my head, telling me that I am destined to die at the age of 27 in a car crash whereby I lose a limb and bleed out or that I will die at the age of 90 by cardiac arrest.
