Fear of aging,is what people fear most

I accept my age, it does not mean that the fear of aging does not exist, but it is more exactly a fear of aging "bad" and to not be able anymore to continue to live by myself, things like losing eyesight, the use of my legs or getting an Alzheimer decease...

You can imagine the depression I go through when I reached my 30th birthday because I love being on my 20's. I still look young for a 30 year old but growing some grey really freaked me out. if I can afford it I will have stem cell theraphy and telomerase therapy by now because I am so afraid of aging. if vampires are real I will let them bite my arm.

After soe remakrks toi me about crabby old people blah blah,it was so bice to be greeted when im ouside in front ot the center by an elderly -iVietnamese GoodDay Grandma tghis I kearned is their way of showing respect to an old lady. Tjhey telll me alot of adult vietnamese keep their elderly parents in thet homes

I am as old as I am and I do not care who knows how old I am.

I just wish we could age without alll the pains.

I'm going through a bit of the fear of aging. I turned 36 this year, and one day it hit me that I could be half way done with my life. I found that realization to be a bit startling.

I'm 62. I get up and shake out all the kinks and it's a good day. I don't mind my age at all.

I prefer to accept my age (whatever it is) than to turn into those pityful Peter Pans who will never grow up.

I'm past my mid 40s now . . . and I'm mostly ok with it. Sure I like the idea of being youthful for as long as I can, but I try to be real. There's no turning back the clock, but we can sure make the best of now and time ahead.

I can honestly say that I've enjoyed every age that I've been, even the present one which is my 8th decade.

I love being 54 and look forward to growing older .

I agree with @topffer. It is fear of something going wrong that is the worry. A major stroke where suddenly you're dependent on others and can't communicate. I think that would be the worst thing.

True.

That is very true. I can't agree more. Nice observation

I am not looking forward to aging, but it is inevitable. It is part of this thing we call life.

It's a little too late to be afraid of aging when your 69! It is what it is and better than the alternative! I am only afraid of tornadoes and fires.

Every age has got something special and we have to accept our age. Only that way you will be able to live your life properly.

We should not fear aging. Instead, we ahould be thankful that another year has passed and our Creator still grant us a day to live. I guess some people fear it because they are looking on their physical appearance. It is not bad but we have to accept that it is natural. We can do things to prevent it but we cant avoid it.

I am not afraid of ageing

Last month, i m turned to 30. I accept my age. There are few ambition and task i have set for myself before i cross 50. As, year by year passing i m afraid of what if i could not do it before 50. That's my biggest tension on my every birthday. i got married at the age of 26, me and my husband planned for a baby after 2 years of marriage. We were so happy and feeling like that we are among the most happiest couple around the world. After waiting for 8 and half months, we were very close to our biggest moment of our life. i wish i could carry my baby boy in my arms but during delivery i lost my baby due to the negligence and carelessness of the doctor and her staff. Its been 2 year now, but we are still not blessed with baby as i m suffering through some internal infections. There are many things happened in past 2 years that makes me very much uncomfortable. but yes i do accept my age.!
