It would be awesome to see my friends and loved ones hurt beyond belief. You're right.

If you want to view it critically like that you can, but I was saying it more like see who your true friends are, which girls/guys secretly liked you, etc.

I'm just saying that's what would happen. Besides, it's easier just to talk to the girl you like.

Very valid points. I was simply saying it would be nice to see how people truly felt about you once they realized you were gone.

It it not easier. Not at all.

Well for me it is I guess.

I've always been secretly afraid that all the people I'd hope actually miss me really wouldn't care if I died. Or that my life is so uneventful that my death would only have an impact on my loved ones. I think the latter scares me more, since it's probably true.

I'd just want to know if my influence on the world is more significant than I believe it is.

I'd feel awful if no one cried or if my death was dismissed, and it would pain me greatly to see those who really cared crying. A parent shouldn't have to deal with the death of their child, so I can't imagine seeing my mother or my grandparents grieving over me. I think some things are better left unknown. Such an experience, in my opinion, would not be nothing . It could be life-changing and forever alter your feelings about your friends and family, even yourself. Of course that could be a good thing, but it could also go very wrong, and it could be something that would keep you up at night. It's not that I wouldn't want to know who my real friends are, but I'd sort of rather wait until I really died. Okay, just thought I'd explain myself since I'm the only one in the Disagreed box, haha.

I agree completely with all of that myself and I can see why there have been a few "no ways". However, the whole reason behind this post was a simple idea that I really didn't put a whole lot of thought in to. Seeing those you care for grieving would definitely be a terrible thing to bear and coming back to life somehow would be horrific trying to explain to everyone that you just wanted to see what they would do. Again, just to explain my reasoning for believing this, I was stating it as more of a see what kind of an effect you have had on your community sort of thing. For example, how many people show up to your funeral, see who shows up (Friends, enemies, strangers), how peoples lives would change without you, etc.

I understand your point, too. It's normal to be curious about what people think about you, and how you affected their lives, and the best way to find out is at your own funeral, Haha. It's a bit morbid so I guess I'm fine with the fact that I'll probably never know.
