Why Do People Want to Look Younger?

When I see ads of miracle creams that make someone look 25 at the age of 40, I just wonder why should someone need to do so?
I have turned 30 a month ago and I enjoy the level of maturity I have achieved with age; I never want to go back to 25, neither do I want to look 25.
I like the fact of aging because people will pay attention and respect to me, I will be able to express and establish my opinion more clearly and boldly.
Why are some people afraid of aging?

I also feel some are obsessed with looking younger.
I never worried at all to look younger and agree it is better to look our age.
I tell my friends they are more worried about their physical appearance than what they put in their mouths!

I also use some beauty products, but I use them only to keep my skin clean and soft, that's it; i like the fresh feel and fragrance. I never expect to look fairer or younger. If some people hate me for having some spots, unwanted hairs or pimples on my face, I really don't need them in my life!

@arundhatiwriter It is self-confidence that matters and also to look presentable - siva

Nobody wants to become old when there are ways.

Let's reverse it. How would you feel if you were just 18 years old and yet you look 40? Does looking old at a young age make you feel respected?

I guess aging reminds people that our time on earth is limited

Well, that might be a valid reason; but it is an inevitable truth.

Well, say that again when you become older and with fine wrinkles appearing already . 
For myself , i want to look younger because all my officemates are so much younger than me . So looking young would not make my age so obvious .
