Phobia of Eternity

[Lea]

Yea I think my main problem with the idea of eternity is the fact that right now I'm not comfortable sharing myself with other people, once I can do that I think eternity wouldn't be so bad but still....

Did I write anything about sharing yourself with others Maybe you just didn´t understand it right, I meant dying. Unless they fancy to eat my body afterwards ::.

Uh no.... I was just saying that for me once I can be comfortable with being myself with other people that eternity wouldn't be so bad. It was mainly this line "To me it seems that most people in this life who firmly believe some teaching, are well adjusted in society and have a net of people around them feel safe and don´t have to think about things like this. They have structure they are comfortable in, therefore don´t have to think about eternity. But I have nothing and I´m in it all the time." that made me talk about "sharing" myself with others. Lmao Well I hope nobody would eat me afterwards.

Oh I get it now. But that´s what this whole forum in about after all isn´t it, because we´re all in deep ****. If we were OK, we would be out there socializing and not having to think about eternity.

When I was 8 or 9 I used to stay awake many many nights in absolute terror at the thought of eternity. I would see a record player going around and around and around and never stopping and seeing my life go on like that and it scared me beyond anything I've ever experienced. My parents were religious, so I guess I assumed eternity was fact. The thought doesn't bother me anymore as I don't believe anything can be eternal.
