"A First Person Creeypasta is meant to be the story telling itself while it is happening. Clearly, you do not understand that the piece itself is fiction, so therefore the "how could u be dead and still post your story" is very illogical."

Majority of the 1st person pastas I've read are written as if it's the person who experienced an encounter with a monster/ghost/whatever is telling the story after it happened. Which is why it makes no sense to have the protagonist/narrator die at the end.

Plus first person doesn't mean that the story is telling itself. First person means one of the characters is telling their story. Which, again, is why it makes no sense to have the protagonist/narrator die at the end.
