I know that mostly about aging is undesirable, there's wrinkles and other skin related issues plus other health concerns. But for me, I will hate the part where my teeth and hair will vanish because of aging. Of course, many people are already experiencing that even if they aren't old yet but mostly, older people have these problems. I don't want to look at the mirror one day finding out that my hair and teeth are missing. I don't wanna grow old. :( How about you, which part of aging do you hate most?

I hate the part when members of your family start to leave your house one by one or have their own families and you are left with no one. I dread the thought of being alone when I get old. Physically, I hate the decrease in energy. Old people lose energy and would prefer to stay at home than to go out and have fun. I hate the sickness and weak body that prevents you from doing what you want.

Right, I agree. Much like McDonalds Filipino commercial wherein the children are leaving the house one by one and in the end, the old parents are left alone. That was sad but a reality of life. I just hope that getting old physically will vanish sooner than I hoped for.

I'm not really that old. But what I have noticed with my mom is that, she hates having white hair, wrinkles and some body pain. Well, she's still beautiful, but still there are times that she's down because of those reasons. :)

One particular aspect of being older is that younger people will often addressed you with the polite words of Mr, Sir, etc. When people are calling me with this words, I felt that I was already too old for them and that I belonged to the older generation. Though it only shows politeness of the other person, i would still be prepared to be called on my first name as it will look younger.

Stop you feeling old! Forget the mirror and stop influenced by them! You're not old, yet as long as you still want to be beautiful, but beauty world still vibrate, but I still enjoy childish things and you have desires to fulfill. Not old, while colored dress, while wholeheartedly smile and laugh out loud, how long you not embarrassed to cry when you touch the heart emotion. Not old, but still feel the need to be loved and comforted, while people look close, but still miss you and if you still have unfulfilled dreams. Old is the person who does not want anything that no longer enjoy anything, old soul, the expression worn, petrified heart, one who has abandoned himself helplessness that always says it's too late, who believes it is inappropriate to wear youthful, which is too let to love - the fear of failure, no longer have dreams and courage ... You can be 20 years old and younger to 60 ... depends only on you!

After you turn 50 (I am now 71), the way in which people speak to you starts to change. There are more and more subtle suggestions - and sometimes outright remarks - to the effect that you are "losing it". You probably aren't losing it. You probably aren't making any more mistakes than you made when you were young. But when you DO make a mistake, it is interpreted differently by those around you. They see it as more "significant" than those juvenile slip-ups. You will also find that, as a topic of conversation, senile dementia comes up more often at the meal table. There is also more talk about "how you will manage" after x number of years - even if you are, in reality, still quite fit and healthy. This is one of the things I dislike most about growing old. Sometimes, I find I have to work a little harder to keep my confidence up.

HELLO Stuckonu, the wrinkles and skin related issues hate me most. the Hair and teeth can adjust by beautification. We can't stay always young and think it is the nature's wonder we can't change that. No one can conquer that. Be always happy it has got a 100% result to stay young.

well, i completely agree with you. hair and teeth are the most beautiful thing and when it comes to aging these two usually starts wearing down very fast. well for me hair is the most important and beautiful part of a woman`s body and it is the first thing that starts to vanish fast. well taking care of hair is mostly essential but we cannot prevent hair from vanishing.
