How the hell does anyone do it? No matter when it comes, it’ll be too soon. It’s scary to think that you may actually DIE any given minute. If you actually think about it it’s pretty scary in my opinion.
How?
Learn how to truly live, then when the thought of death comes, you’ll say… “Bring it on!” 
Just some friendly advice. 
I like I like. Now to learn how the hell to live. ](https://www.ilovephilosophy.com/uploads/default/original/2X/7/7c349bf1053f368a5729d053e1e91215f22ce66c.gif "Brick wall"){kind=small}
One priest said to me: “We are not really afraid of dying but on how we will die is what really bothers us.”
Yeah, that’s a huge part of it. All I know is it better be instant and I better not know about it before hand. Seriously, I could imagine being in a plane falling from the sky, I don’t know what the hell I would do.
Brad Pitt once said (and I don’t know why the fuck I am grabbbing and rephrasing quotations haha) if you are falling in an airplane there are oxygen mask that will shoot out of the compartment.
You take huge breaths from this. But too much oxygen will make you euphoric. You accept your fate.
Fear living an unexamined life worse than death.
That is true.
The fear of the death can be the fear of the unknown, as nobody knows actually what happens (unless that person thinks s/he has memories of past deaths and the memory is somehow trustworthy …).
Also, the death comes with pains, usually. So, fear for suffering can be the cause, too.
Many people try to escape these fear by irrational theories and dreams/hopes like religion, or illusion that they have found the answer to all unknown including death and they think themselves as being “enlightened”, which is a joke most of the time. 
If we don’t want to fall in these type of absurdity and self delusion, we need to be honest to the fears, which takes great strength/precision/courage/etc in all parts of ourselves.
It’s not easy. That’s why we have so many stupid religions and beliefs, and human monkeys remain generally very stupid.
Philosophy and critical thinking can be the tool to cut off our tendency in finding the absolute answer in something relative/limited/conditional.
But many people use them to construct ugly bunch of theories and theologies to hide (as if they can actually hide…) from the fear of all sorts.
You can observe this almost everywhere humans live and discuss.
It can be a disgusting sight, if you happen to have any hope in human monkeys. 
As death approaches, things don’t slow down, they accelerate. One goes thrown several folds in a short period of time. Of course, this is only when one knows that death is imminent.
Ignore death. It’s gonna happen anyway, and stressing out about it wont change it.
I like that.
Hmmm … I guess you don’t know the nature of the fear, yet.
Try to ignore it as hard as you can, all the time, with all your might, will power, intention, intelligence, whatever you got.
Accepting one’s own mortality can make sweet even the greatest of suffering, but only if one is not religious. If one is a religious type, then the bare thought of death makes bitter even the sweetest of moments in life, and so obviously death is left ignored, or even rethought as another life–a better one!
That’s simply incorrect. Many a war has been waged with countless deaths due to some religion guaranteeing its soldiers an eternal life, a justified cause. Death then becomes not a thing in itself, but the ‘gate’ to something greater. Are suicide bombers not evidence enough?
well… thinking about death is directly scary…
My only hope is that i live a fufilling life… And that by the end of it i’ll have no regrets and also be tired as fuck…
I think there’s some ambiguity here. I use death in the sense that one ends. Death to these religious fanatics is but the gate to another [better] life. So I don’t think I’m incorrect in saying that these religious fanatics who gladly go to their death do fear death, i.e. the end. In fact I think a major reason for their belief that death is not an end but another beginning is this fear of the end–a wishful thinking. Death for them becomes a coping mechanism for death. No?
The problem there though, is that you can’t fear what you don’t believe. If you asked me “Do you fear the Loch Ness monster so much that you wish to not believe in it?” or just “Do you fear the Loch Ness monster?”, even after its horrific traits are described to me, I still would say no. These religious fanatics can’t fear “The End” because they don’t believe in one.
It just doesn’t make sense to me that their thinking should be like “I’m just going to die! I might as well die now!”, when they could just as easily go to heaven through a variety of non-“jihad” ways.
I’ve seen a number of people reach their 50’s and turn to God after a life of decadence. In these cases, and many others, I will agree. But if a child has grown up being taught one thing and that thing only, alternatives, such as an end to consciousness are not only not accepted/understood, but even the thought is immediately dismissed.
Death is motivational, and a part of life. To ignore it is to ignore what makes human life particularly exciting and meaningful. Just look at the responses in this thread, many of them use death as a reason to live a nobler type of life.
It is how we define ourselves, it plays a fundamental role in our world view, we are who we are because we die. Ignoring death is just silly.
I think everyone has a general dread of death, a sort of fascination to understand what it is and attraction to it, but at the same time all we know is life and we want to hang onto it. This is not a fear of death, but a general wonderment that it lends life. This wonderment is precisely there because we have not come to terms with death, not in the sense that we have made up our minds about it.
I was dead billions of years before i was born - forgot who said that, maybe mark twain.
As one of the above posters says, i don’t care about dying, its gonna happen, but HOW it happens is what i see, most people are more worried about.
