1. Fear of death. When you fear something, you might subconsciously be attracting it, wanting to get it over with.
2. Politics. Politicians would have a huge interest in life spans being short, so as to reduce the value of a human life. Otherwise they couldn't get anyone to go to war for them. Would you risk your life if it were 900 years long? I wouldn't.
3. Religion in situations when it is tied to the state. Such as Christianity became, when the Emperor Constantine realized the value of it, and how convenient it was for politicians and rich people to have poor people believing in the afterlife, and the idea that life is full of suffering, but then you go to heaven.
4. Feeling like you're not good enough, a failure. That one is a classic: a person in the dumps, whose aspirations were thwarted: laying on the couch with drapes closed, drinking and eating junk food. The Japanese, they deal with it quick - gut themselves. Most common reaction to failure and discontent is becoming ill, dying from a broken heart, aging 10 years in a week, etc. In fact, most people on SSI got there because they felt they couldn't get a job, or couldn't keep it, so they convinced themselves that they were ill.
5. Feelings of inadequacy, jealousy and envy. Those feelings are eating at you, making you miserable, and if you feel helpless to do something constructive about it, you might subconsciously need a real good excuse such as: "I'm out of shape, I'm too old, how can I compete with someone half my age, I can't - I have arthritis pains," and so forth. Such people often feel "it's him or me", and they commit murder, racial discrimination, violence, bullying, and such, as an expression of helplessness.
6. Young people want the older people out of the way. They want to run the world, business, household differently, they want freedom and money. Children often hurt their parents so much, that those parents want to die. My friend just went thru this with her teenage son; she ended up in a hospital with a nervous breakdown and a double pneumonia. If she lived a hundred years ago, she would have, most likely, died.
7. Romantic love is a huge cause of death and aging. Most people just don't seem to be capable of staying happily together and getting along. Once the infatuation is over they get bored and want to be free and to fall in love again. Unfortunately, it is never at the same exact time, so one of the lovers is hurt and devastated and broken-hearted.
8. Out of control population growth. Unfortunately too many selfish, insecure and ignorant people have children when they shouldn't, ruining this planet for everyone else. I worked as a freelance interpreter for DSHS and often had to interpret for a woman with 5 to 12 children. Frankly, there should be a rule, every woman on DSHS should have a birth control shot, no shot no money. Same with any women in the 3rd world if they expect to get any food or medical help.
9. Technology. A huge contributor to aging, disease and death! Pollution, unhealthy additives to water and food, lack of proper nutrition in foods you buy in the stores, too much food, too much sugar in everything, the list goes on and on.
10. Wrong role models. Instead of looking around and thinking that you'll age and die because so many people do all over the place, focus on one or two people in history who didn't: Comte De Sait Germain, Even Jesus. But if you chose Jesus as your role model disregard the fact that he was crucified - that was not necessary, and remember that when he talked of eternal life he never, ever said that it was necessary to die first.
