>>20354970I feel like most young guys go through that death-obsession phase. Anywhere from late teens to mid or even late 20s. At this point you're still young but realize you aren't a kid anymore and will never go back - development begins to turn into stagnation and decline at this point, and you become acutely aware of that around this age. I thought I was going through it when I was 17 only for it to rebound and for me to get the absolute brunt of it at 22.
It's exacerbated by a secular and nihilistic society. Many young people now have a worldview that basically amounts to the logical endpoint of retarded nu-nihilism and it shows.
All I can tell you is that my fear of death stopped when I overdosed on carfent and saw some shit. I'm Catholic again now and that fear of death and obsession with it are completely gone now. Even for gaytheists who believe in oblivion it can be overcome by the fact that it literally isn't possible for you to ever be dead. If you're alive you obviously aren't dead, and if you're le oblivionized you aren't alive to be aware of the fact you're dead. An infinite amount of time passed before you were born and you didn't care it all. You weren't dead then because you didn't even exist. You can only ever be alive.
