it was night and i was crossing the street but i wasn't at a crosswalk. so i was crossing and all of a sudden a bright light comes towards me and i just look at it and keep walking like "oh its a car". it was so close to hitting me and the woman in the car made a turn later to come check on me. i just felt normal though lol i literally didn't feel anything at all
I can't swim. XD And one day back in elementary I put on a lifejacket that I think was too small, I even tried to ask for help since I wasn't familiar with lifejackets
(Which was really hard for shy little me back then;-;)but the lifeguards kinda just threw a pile at me and went off to their own business.
Anyway, the lifejacket didn't work. So I went into the deep end and I realized that I wasn't going up. My thoughts were "Why the hell am I not going up?" and "This is why I hate pool trips."
Yes I almost died because I stuck my head out of the car window while my dad closed it
When I was in 2nd grade, I almost drowned in Lake Superior. I was following my older cousin around and I ended up in the deep end on my tippy toes. Didn't realize I was literally at the end of a drop. I told him to help me because I can't swim, but he thought I was messing around and he left me. We were with a lot of family, but everyone was kind of scattered along the shore. It's a beautiful place lol. I tried to save myself by swimming forward but the waves pushed me into the drop. I think it was about 8-10 feet. Little me plunged into the dark and I remember trying to push myself off the bottom.The longer I was in the water, the more it felt like I was able to breathe underwater, but that was me slowly dying. Strange. At that moment, I remember thinking how cool it was that I was probably going to become a mermaid. Lol stupid 2nd grade thoughts!! I would've left with no regrets. One of my other cousins tried to help me. She was older but not much bigger than me. I'm a big girl. My dumb ass struggled for air and pulled her into the water with me. So there we were, both flopping around trying to step on each other for air. Before I knew it, for what seemed like an eternity, she was gone. Then an older gentleman, my hero, grabbed my arm and pulled me out of the water. I don't really remember what happened next but me and my cousin sat on the beach both hella pale and purple lips. Our families surrounded us. I'm just sad I will never know who saved me and my cousin, but I am so thankful. I'm really surprised I am not traumatized by this incident. I actually love swimming...I still can't swim that well but I love playing in the water. I am, though, terrified of dark water. I'm 26 now ^^
I got hit by a car and managed to get away with some bruises only, my first thought was "uh oh I'm gonna die" Σ(  ̄□ ̄||)
Not sure any of these qualify as "near death" but it's the closest I've been.
When I was 3 a loose nail on a playground slide slit open my scalp. Had to get a couple of staples in my head. Was too young to remember any of it but my parents say it was pretty bad.
At 8 I had an extremely high fever causing hallucinations and for whatever reason my mom didn't take me to the hospital.
At 9 I nearly drowned in a neighborhood pool that had the depth of the water mislabeled. There was no lifeguard but fortunately a nearby boy saw me go under and assisted me with a life preserver.
Idk if these 2 count
1. Was close to being hit by a car but fortunately the car stopped and lightly hit my leg.
2. Fell and hit my head on the sharp leg of the table. Had to get 3 stitches on my head. During the surgery I had an outer body experience and felt like I was already dead. It was weird coz I knew I had 0 regrets and it felt like a relief from all my problems.
One thing for sure I am more careful now and I value my life more.
I was walking in the dark and my friend stopped me all of a sudden. I wondered why he stopped me until he said, "look below!" I died for a second there. I was 1 cm close to falling into this giant hole (couldn't even see the bottom!)
Have you ever had a near-death experience? If yes, what kind of feeling is it and how did it happen? If no, would you want to experience it? Why? Why not?
