I have never related to "fear of death"

[YIDIRYIDIR]

It never made sense to me, I've never felt scared to die. When I see people struggling and doing inner work to get past their fear of death, I just feel surprised, like looking at someone who has phobia of something regular.

You didn't go to hell right? Your life is okay. Maybe on your death bed, you will say why did I waste my life denying what is in front of my eyes the whole while. Next lifetime I am not going to ignore the inevitability and will toil to go beyond body.

It’s actually the opposite, my whole childhood has been traumatic, same for late teenage and early adulthood. 
 

I’m not talking about fear of death from that angle. Even though people that have a good life are the ones that’ll actually experience greater attachment to what they have and fear losing it.

Same same same omg it’s so fun when someone speaks a shared opinion

And it’s the people who think death is “forever nothing” that are afraid

ummmmmmm

the idea of forced reincarnating over and over is wayyyyyy worse . People got it backwards

Cept when we're young we typically say, let's just dance and be merry for death and doom is eons away. Plenty of time to buy insurance. The purpose of life I would say is to die before you die rather than stare death in the face and shakingly say, where is your sting?

The grandiosity of youth.

Iirc, you didn't try psychedelics nor started consistent spiritual practice. So you having no fear of death might just be ignorance and lack of experience.

Also, if you have any aversion whatsoever(which you have), that is a subtle fear of death speaking.

Also, why would you be attached to spending your life in a certain way? why would you say "why did i waste my life"? who cares? why have that standard and want life to be a certain way?

Might be that.

also, does fear of death relate to spirituality? so many regular people that know nothing about spirituality struggle with that. it's a psychological state.

Life has a purpose.

It does. Fear is related to identity, which is tied to psychology and spirituality simultaneously.
