Are you afraid of getting old?

I'll just deal with it when it comes. Though I'm not looking forward to it. I had ross river fever once and that made me feel like a 20 yr old trapped in an 80 yr old body. Not looking forward to pain and exhaustion but I will deal with it.

I just don't want to grow old alone....

Mainly because of the medical issues

Too late, I crossed over that bridge years ago!

not afraid, i'd rather it didn't happen but not really afraid, i'm getting grey hairs as it is right now so i'm used to the idea already

Getting old is life process.,, we all get there at the end.,, what i'm afraid is being alone when i get old.

I am not afraid of getting old I don't like the side effects that come with it.

I'm afraid of not getting old...

I am not afraid of it really, I do worry about how bad my fibro will be when I get there. Getting old is inevitable nothing I can do but keep movie forward.

Honestly, yes, I am a little.

I'm not afraid I'm just not looking forward to it.

its inevitable.
Me:I want you to play this on my 64th birthday.
WHEN IM 64.

Getting old beats the hell out of the alternative.

Yes. I am vain, what can I say? lol

I'm not afraid of aging, but I'm terrified of becoming frail and being taken advantage of by a care provider or anyone if I can't get out of bed and care for myself.

I'll be 56 my next birthday so I would say no.

I don't fear getting old. I just don't want to look or act old.

Yes actually....though not selfishly. I want to always be able to do things then as I do now and I never want any sort or arthritis...or lose my memory..or hemorroids. D:
And I just hope my hair turns all white not grey.... :p

Though I wouldn't mind If I looked like this

rich and famous? xD

Bad ass.

I'm a lot more afraid of NOT getting older.

I am happy each day I wake up, I don't fear aging, it's one of those things that can't be avoided so it's best to just be grateful each day we do have :)

All the time. Everyone who tells me about it makes it sound really awful.

I am long past any thoughts of being afraid of getting old. Now I am concerned about getting dead.

C'mon, no one likes to get old. But I still have time to enjoy life to the maximum ;)

Enjoying life to the maximum can lead to getting old.

depends on your "maximum". Doing things that you like to do, don't affects you, right? The only thing that leads you to getting old, is time..

Having fun and doing things you love to the maximum is good. Excessive drinking and lack of sleep are the types of things that will make you old before your time... That is why there are 80 year olds running marathons and 50 years old dead from living too much good life.

Its to late to worry now.

Old is bad.

Heavens no!! I am a senior and truly appreciate the life I've lived! It was great being a kid in the 50's and a teenager in the 60's. I wouldn't trade those years for anything nor would I want to be a young person now. I feel for the younger generations that will never experience what America was like during those times. Yes, we had our problems but I truly believe ppl took responsibility for their actions and their lives then as opposed to what we have going on now. We had a lot more consideration and feeling for one another then. Now it's me me me. BTW age is a frame of mind. If you were raised in the woods by wolves and didn't know when you were born how old would you guess yourself to be now??

not really....

Pissed is more like it. I want my energy back!

Darlin' I am old and just beginning a new career. Just remember that age is just a number. Enjoy life!

Yes. It's a fear of mine.

I am! LOL It's not for sissies!

Not afraid, but I'm NOT looking forward to it either.

But it ain't for sissies!

Quality of life means more to me, so I suppose more afraid of NOT growing old, all things being equal.
