Fear of getting Old !!

Old age is just a part of life and a part of life that I really don't think I have to deal with for a long time. Although there are times where the younger generation does make me feel old and I have barely left it. It seems like the generation gap and the communication gap is getting wider and wider. My teenage years were not that long ago. Still old age, I just hope I am rather just going to do many of the things that I rather enjoy doing right in life. There are times where I just hope I am able to do as much as I can with life. If really have a fear of anything, it is growing old without too many major accomplishments when you really think about it. Still time waits for no person and life goes on.

The best thing about growing older is u r more wiser and u r more stable and understand things better, isn that great? We cant run away from nature but when we make the best out of it, u feel everything single day arr worth while...

i am not scared though but i am just praying i would age gracefully... gracefully surrendering the things of youth - so i won't grow old bitter but seriously, that is what me and hubby prays for.

I'm about your age and just started noticing how quickly time passes, year after year. People say I look younger than I am, but when I look in the mirror I see I don't. I know this body gets older but I still feel that I'm a child, and I can imagine that it won't change even when I am 80. Just with a little bit more wisdom, hopefully.

i think most of the people will worry to get old one day in our life. but this is normal to us, if you do not getting old, maybe you will start to worry about not getting old. so just do whatever we can do in our life and treasure everyday, instead of worrying to get old. =) enjoy life.

I have such fear when I was 25. A lot changes happened around that year. Now, I can see white hair looking myself in the mirror. It is bad to feel that I'm getting old physically. The memory of childhood is lively but we can never go back again. However, we have life ahead. We haven't much time to relook what we have experienced. There are many things and people for us to take care. I'd like to put yestoday away and embrace today and tomorrow warts and all.

No I'm not.... I'm much more older than you but I'm not afraid of it. And I think nothing to fear about. Everyone are going there anytime anyplace anywhere only we don't know when. That's why as long as we are alive we must let our live to the fullest so when times come we have no regret.

Age is really just a number. I don't fear getting older. And currently I don't think about dying either. I try and focus on life, and living each day to the fullest! Otherwise, I think a person might just live too afraid to accomplish any dreams they may have.

Hi Ivan and welcome to my lot. Yes I can remember when I was your age and thinking boy I am getting old! Now that I am 58 I laugh at myself for thinking I was getting old when I was actually so young back then. Mom is 72 and she looks and acts like she is still a young woman. Granny has lived to be 93 and is just now gotten to where she can't take care of herself. I had a great aunt that lived to be a 107 before she passed on. So think God you are still young enough to do something positive with you life! So sit back my friend and enjoy this life your not old hun! You are just beginning this life! Live love be happy in this life! Enjoy everyday that God has given you, your still so young my friend!

I also have the same fear, and I know that it is the natural process of all of us here. We can't avoid any of it, especially aging. So, I would say, let it go, and live your life the best you can. I have so many regrets, and so many things I want to do. I wish that I can do all of these before the age catch me up.

yep,sometimes thing feeling would be occurring to mind, when i meet some middle school students,i really wanna go tell them,"treasure your now time,it is epic"~~~ but anyway,the clock would keep going without hesitation,without turning back,it's the truth that everyone has to be facing... so what i'm worrying most is that i'm wasting time,i haven't made my life full. so long as we make our life full,and make it everyday, we won't be fearing getting old, coz we've got the time we ever spent,we 've got memoeries,and it's full~~~ youth is not a time of life,it's a matter of the will~~

if you start to worry about getting older, it makes you look older, it makes you feel older, treat each day as a brand new day, enjoy the days you have on this earth because you only get one go in life, we are all blessed to have been put on this earth and if it weren't for our grandparents, our parents would not have been born hence us being born, so life is very precious, we have had our youth, we now have our adult life so enjoy it whilst you can because you never know what's around the corner, enjoy it and take each day as it comes, i never worry about age because each breath we take, we grow older, each minute we are here we get older, there's nothing we can do about the aging process, so enjoy life whist you have it

I admitted it. Sometimes when we are alone that question comes without thinking. We are really Human we feel different side of our mind to question that. In this world, our life is just too short. Even though you reach 50-80's is just only blink of an eye and you ask yourself that was so fast. I'm in the ages of 20's and I looked back the time when I was a kid. Its really unforgettable and those moments.Even though I still young and there are things that must come my way and they said. Its the beginning of my long journey. For me its, your life and how you care the life that was given to you, while you are still on Earth you must do the right thing before you regret and I know you must take its consequences and try to learn the mistakes you made.
