I think it would be depressing to have someone watch me die, for me and for them. I would hope that no one needs to watch that.

Expect to die alone, absolutely. Do I hope to die alone, absolutely fucking not. My life has been one miserable tragedy after the other. This fate has not been my choice.
Right there with you. May the stars find us both a better path before the end comes.
Old joke: I hope to die peacefully in my sleep like my grandfather, not screaming in terror like his passengers.
like his passengers.
… like the passengers in his car.

We’re born alone, and we die alone. This is a truth.
I expect to die alone. Hopefully fast and painless without noticing.
Maybe it already happened and you didn’t notice.
And he’s just a disembodied string of characters forever stuck on Lemmy? I guess it’s better than Hell. 🥲
Then this afterworld really sucks.
It really depends on the manner of my death. If it was gruesome and tragic? Alone please. My family doesn’t need to see that.
Old and in my bed and knowing my death is coming? I want to be in my husband’s arms, I want my son to know I didn’t suffer.
my dream is to die quietly in my sleep, but i have lots of unfulfilled dreams, like Trump has explosive diarrhoea during a live broadcast, Putin keels over at a military parade bleeding from every orifice and thay sets if a chain that auto releases photos of him, Farage and Orban giving each other HJs at a sauna… thay sort of thing
May all of your dreams become reality. I really want that for you.
I won’t die alone, I’m going to jump off of a building downtown in a suit filled with candy when the time comes. King sized. The good stuff.
Hope so. If that happens, it’ll mean my wife won’t have to. We only have each other and I wouldn’t want her to have to go through that.
I used to think people were afraid of dying alone because it would be embarrassing for no one to bother to show up for your death, but then I figured that’s probably not it because that would be really stupid. Now I’m not sure what’s behind it. Personally I feel like it would be really embarrassing for people to find my corpse.
I expect to die alone, but don’t really care how it goes down. Life happens and then it doesn’t. No big deal.
I’m still young, but I think there is a non-zero and significant chance of me dying alone. Even the thought of it scares me. Also, I think it is a terrible thing for a child (no matter how old) to go through. Man, I’m never having kids, lol!
Probably…
I would prefer not to die alone. Not only for the company in probably one of, if not the biggest, scariest, event in someone’s life, but also because of the logistics. I’d hate to be going out, unable to move while laying on the kitchen floor, and desperately, deliriously, thirsty with 2 days worth of shit caked in my pants.
That said, if going alone seems to be the case, I’ll try to arrange things in advance and face it with some degree of stoicism.
Ben Gibbard once said “Love is watching someone die.” And I agree. So, I hope not.
My soul is too quixotic, everyone else in the world would have to collectively decide that I should die alone before I gave up on myself. I’m definitely getting uglier but people were somehow dating me before so that probably isn’t likely to change.
What could possibly change is by the time I die will I still think being alone is the affliction I’ve believed it to be?
