LOL yeah... but my point is, I'm gonna do the stuff I like in life and when the time comes, I'll just sit, chill and wait for whatever is gonna happen.

definitely when
Definitely when I die so I can get things done that I want to (like travel and take photos and make friends and support my parents) before I die. I'd rather know when I'm dying so I can budget my time rather than be constantly afraid of my cause of death. If I learned I would die of disease, wouldn't I become a hypochondriac then? And if I learned I would die in a train accident, wouldn't I be paranoid about trains?? I'd rather live slowly and purposefully rather than full of paranoia.
I'd rather know when I die so I can make the most out of my time I have left.
I would hate to know HOW I die. Let's say I die in a car accident for example.... Then i'm gonna spend the rest of my life fearing to get in a car and would try to avoid them at all costs. Might get lucky and the answer could be old age. But on the off chance I die from a freak accident, I'd rather not know lol.

I'd rather not know either, but if I was forced to choose, I'd definitely choose when over how. Knowing what would kill me but not being able to change it would be scary, but at least when could potentially be a little more productive, like if I knew when I was going to die, then I could plan the month before to focus on wrapping up loose ends and spending extra time with loved ones.
When so you don't waste your life trying your hardest to avoid "how you died" or "the cause of your death." It isn't even close imo. When you know when you die, you can try to fit in as much as possible before you die, somthing a lot of people can't actually do in the real world.

Tough question. If I had to choose, I'd probably rather know when over how. At that point, it wouldn't matter to me how it would happen since I'd know my time was up regardless. Method becomes meaningless.
I would rather know neither as knowing either one is just going to make me fret over it and not be able to live my life the way I want to.
I guess if I had to choose I would choose when, but I would rather not know at all.

This is so hard as death is a huge cause of anxiety for me, and is probably my biggest fear - knowing either would stress me out a lot, but I think I would rather know how if I /had/ to choose

I guess how.
To try and prevent it
Though if I were to die in a horrible tragedy, it would probably make me a little depressed to know it.
I wouldn’t like to know when though. I don’t teslly want to know if it’s sooner than expected

I would definitely rather know when I was going to die. Death doesn't scare me, so regardless of how much or little time I had left, I think I'd accept it. Plus, knowing when it would happen would give me the opportunity to make sure everything was taken care of ahead of time so my husband didn't have to stress over things, assuming he outlived me. I could have all the important details worked out.
I would NOT want to know how I died, because unless it was peacefully in my sleep, I'd stress over it constantly. While I'm not afraid of death, I am afraid of the potential pain and/or fear depending on the method. And if it's one of the types of deaths I fear most, like drowning or fire, I don't know if I could ever handle that knowledge.
