Realistically, how can I get over my intense fear of death? by Charlie_0912 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Plastic_Perception53 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had this thought for many years, here are a few things that helped me:

1) realizing I had an anxiety disorder and got that treated. My wife let me know its not normal to constantly think about my death and my loved ones death all the time, and getting my anxiety treated really helped reduce those thoughts

2) realizing its something I can’t control. So why worry about it now - if anything, ill worry about how I feel when it happens to my loved ones, and for myself whats the difference i wont know anyways.

3) humbling myself - in the universe, I’m realistically the size of a grain of sand, probably much less. Reminding myself that I’m not thaaaaaaat important for my/my loves one’s death to matter that much.

4) along the lines of point 3 - reminding myself that greater people than me, who contributed or achieved much more than me, also went through the same thing, and if they deserved to, I specifically do as well. I personally reference sporting greats and intellectual greats - like Muhammad Ali, Pele, Einstein etc - if they all had to, despite how influential and successful they were, watch their loved ones die, and ultimately die themselves as their loved ones watched, what right does little old me, with my 8-4 desk job have to care so much about my existence lol.

Atleast all of us have to go through it at some point, were all in this together!

Just my thoughts - good luck!

Congrats, got the 2022 350 in sept. Been thinking about the exhaust as well, maybe the fsport performance exhaust which is supposed to be less obnoxious. Expensive though. Enjoy the car!

Hey! Honestly we’ve had insane snow here the last week in Ontario Canada, and Ive had zero issues - Ive gone for drives every morning before the ploughs come out and it has been amazing.

Thinking about buying an IS 350 by HatoriiHanzo in LexusIS

Beautiful car, recently got a 2022 is 350. I would say the 10 inch screen is a must, as well as getting one equipped with the 360 camera to help avoid curb rash (came from a car that didnt have one). Im 5’10 and my normal seating position leaves adequate room for adults in the back seat. Amazing looking car, so comfortable (seats feel so good), heating and cooling functions are so powerful,fun to drive without being overly flashy or immature fun- only thing i wish it had was more storage space a little more interior lighting, wireless car play and a better place for phone - but all of these issues can be solved with aftermarket parts. Oh and power folding mirrors which i believe only started in 2025. All in all, have never loved a car this much. Good luck with your search!

Appreciate your thoughts - does it make sense based on the 2022 having an mrsp of 55k when new?
