It could be because you are not alive now in the spiritual sense .
Amplified:
even when we were [spiritually] dead and separated from Him because of our sins, He made us [spiritually] alive together with Christ (for by His grace—His undeserved favor and mercy—you have been saved from God’s judgment).
Source: https://bible.knowing-jesus.com/Ephesians/2/5
This is but a short space of time we spend on this earth and what is said of where we go if we are Christians ?
New King James Version
But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”

Why do I have to live forever?
Ah, cause God said so and enforces what he says.You can try to use your 'free will' to overturn/overpower Him.
I have never met a person who wants death .
Most want death to end suffering .even then they dont want to be forgotten.the idea that no one will remember them is bothersome.
Let's be honest when we die ,100 years from now .no one will know us . I have looked up my wife's ggf buried one hundred years ago .she nor her dad met him .her dad remember his son .said where he is buried and not much else .
The point is , eternity with Jesus is a blessing .no sorrow ,no pain or death etc .
