but really how do you get over that we're all gonna die one day

don't think about it.

+1 That's the only way.

What about it bothers you?

I can't cope with the idea of other people dying, but I take a measure of comfort in that it might happen to me before it happens to anyone else.

You don't. You just make the best of the time you do have.

I dunno. I think it's one of those things where the only way to do it is you just do it. Nothing else you can do about it. I mean, I've been thinking about it a really long time and that's the best answer I've come to: it's just a part of life.

I find this odd. For me, I find the idea that we will all die someday comforting. It makes the time we have more valuable. I wouldn't want to live forever. A nice long life would be nice, but not forever.

I mostly ignore it. Though sometimes something will hit me and I'll freak out for a bit. Like the other day I read a thing about depression clinically aging cells. That scared me, but I'm trying not to think about it.

I think about what my life was like before I existed. And realize that just like then, I will have no consciousness and won't care.

It doesn't bother me.

I mostly get annoyed with myself for wasting so much time. Try to work out how to change that, realise I'm screwed and then go back to drowning my sorrows in self-destructive behaviour.

It doesn't bother me at all. I think the fact that I have been suicidal in varying degrees (I'm doing pretty good right now though) since I was quite young has made me very accepting of my own mortality, and it really doesn't bother me that someday it will be over.

My religious beliefs are very comforting to me, and honestly, I think it's a much better use of our emotional energy to focus on living life to the fullest rather than constantly worrying about dying.

At 25 (if that's how old you are; not sure exactly what you meant by "quarter-life crisis") you still have a LOT of life ahead of you. I am also 25, and I recently came to the conscious realization that people don't stop living when they hit 30, and many people have their best years later on in life.

It frightens me, but only because I don't know what's going to happen next. I'm curious.

What happened with me is that I recognized that, if I spent all of my time worrying about the fact that we're all gonna die, I'd wind up dying without enjoying or having done anything. Now, whenever I start worrying, I say to myself, "okay, so how can I make the best of today, just in case?"

Basically, turn mortality into an excuse to improve yourself, get invested in hobbies, and do things that make you happy.

Do cool stuff, cross stuff of my bucket list, have no fear. Then when death comes, I can look it in the eye and know that I have accomplished at least some of what I set out to do.

I just accept the fact that at least I don't have to go alone.

make a lot of jokes, enjoy a lot of good food and drink and sights and smells and ideas, be bravely kind to the people in your life, hang out with animals and/or babies if it suits your purpose, and consume excellent media

or just like get really into a podcast

Thinking about that fact honestly doesn't bother me at all. When I'm not in the middle of a depression, I actually find the idea of it comforting. I.e. "This embarrassing moment will not last forever."

I just don't care?

The thought and feeling is always with me. But the more involved I get in life, the more it lessens. When I feel isolated and alone, it comes back in full force.

If you're religious, pray about it.

If not, don't think about it.

All the other days we're not gonna die.

For me being dead means we don't exist anymore. To me that's the biggest freedom I can imagine, so it's not something I'm afraid of. I'm quite curious about death, actually, because I don't know what it's like.

Sickness on the other hand terrifies me, which is why I try to live as healthily as possible. It might be futile anyway, but trying to take care of myself the best I can gives me comfort, and creates an illusion like I have any control over my life.
