* The video "Why Die?" from ''WebVideo/CGPGrey'' [[InvertedTrope argues against this idea]], saying that LivingForeverIsAwesome and that the human race has been ConditionedToAcceptHorror.
* A ''WebAnimation/DorklyOriginals'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MR2JzK-y5_g short]] pokes on [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Tails]]' ability to not die, eventually believing himself to be blessed... until a full century after everyone he knows is dead and tries to end his life. He revives again and screams a BigNo.

* A problem with human immortality in ''Manhwa/CielTheLastAutumnStory'', as unlike Arc Dragons, humans can't endure the experience of living so long. Even when Marion Everett becomes immortal for the specific purpose of saving the world, the centuries of life wear her down to a shell of her former self.
* In ''Manhwa/{{Rebirth}}'', Rett Butler, the best friend of the main character, was [[BlessedWithSuck cursed with immortality]] by the [[AGodAmI the villain]] 300 years ago. Why? So he can watch the world be destroyed by said villain.

* Vampires in ''VisualNovel/DiabolikLovers'' series [[NotAfraidToDie look forward to dying]], although they generally don't actively seek it. The character most likely to bring up this celebratory attitude toward death is the local LovableSexManiac (for whatever definition of lovable,) Laito. Despite being young in vampire terms, [[spoiler:he was tired of his nightmare of a life even before meeting the heroine and discovering that for him, [[LoveHurts falling in love is a harrowing, painful ordeal]] which he is [[LadykillerInLove psychologically ill-suited to endure]].]] And if he makes it through all that, he enters into a relationship with a girl that he can't share immortality with, and he dreads being left behind to the point of contemplating SuicideByCop.

* ''Literature/TheBible'': Cain, [[WordOfDante who is sometimes conflated with the Wandering Jew]], may be considered an example. After killing his brother, the Lord promises that anyone who harms him (which may include Cain himself) will suffer God's wrath. He places a mark on Cain, so that everyone will know to leave him alone. Although not explicitly immortal, this guarantees that Cain will have a long time to suffer for his crime.

The [[FateWorseThanDeath worst fate possible]] might well be {{immortality}}. Sure, you might like the idea that you get to live forever and see what the world's like hundreds of years from now, but what's eternal life compared to the pain of life in general? From eventual boredom to [[AndIMustScream eternal entrapment and torture]] to the [[MayflyDecemberRomance emotional anguish]] of seeing your [[MayflyDecemberFriendship loved ones]] die, one by one, as you stay fixed in time. Then let's not forget that the Earth might be destroyed by the expanding sun in a few billion years, so if you haven't a way to leave by then you can look forward to spending eternity in space, orbiting the dying core of the sun.

And with how each cycle will feel shorter and shorter each time, the emotional and psychological pain will only get worse.
