I am not afraid of aging, but more afraid of people's reactions to my aging.

I'm not afraid of aging.

I don't have a fear of aging or a fear of death.

The fear of old age is something that one feels when they're younger. Once you get to being old, you're already there, so you don't even think about it anymore.

I don't fear aging. It's natural, and I can't stop it!

Any fear of aging, I think, is simply vanity.

Knowing how to age and not being afraid of aging is very healthy.

I do think about aging. I have those moments of panic and vanity, but life keeps getting better, so you can't worry about it too much.

Why is it that when we get older, we get more fearful?

I feel about aging the way William Saroyan said he felt about death: Everybody has to do it, but I always believed an exception would be made in my case.
