I've found a formula for avoiding these exaggerated fears of age; you take care of every day - let the calendar take care of the years.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
From my perspective, there's no reason to be afraid of aging, because if you age, you're lucky! The alternative is death.
I'm not afraid of aging.
I am not afraid of aging, but more afraid of people's reactions to my aging.
There are several ways to mess up your life by fighting to make your calendar age match your felt age. I live in the Southwest, a part of the country with more than its share of fair skies, material wealth, and people who are trying not to be as old as they are.
There's no point living at my age with many ingrained great fears.
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!
When I turned 50, I realized I was now going to start counting backwards in terms of the years I had left. Then I turned 60, and I just stopped counting. I don't have a fear of death, but I have an awareness that there's a time limit.
Ageing is something that both men and women are utterly terrified about.
I don't have a fear of aging or a fear of death.
