from the perspective of my experience, yes. I think that is not true if you make a copy.

At least, you would leave an old you behind. Which from my intuition would be "me".

I understand "me" would also live on, but at that point I think I would just prefer to die.

so "you" is connected with the physical matter that makes you up? You are aware that that physical matter is completely replaced many times over during the course of your life time?
