Is it normal to not fear death but fear pain?

Is it normal to not mind when I die, provided it is painless? But then I think of the potential suffering I would leave behind, but then I remember that it wouldn't affect me because I would be dead and incapable of anything other than decomposing. I am not afraid of dying (obviously I would prefer not to) but I am afraid of getting hurt, say for example if I got shot in the chest or face, I would rather die than live.

    My biggest fear would be a stabbing. Other than that I don't care about dying as I hate my life anyway.

    Absolutely normal. It's better to have a painless death than agonizing one.

    I feel the same way. Like dying of old age or just randomly in my sleep doesn't scare me at all but being burnt alive or something like that absolutely terrifies me.
