Why is it that when we get older, we get more fearful?
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 am not afraid of aging, but more afraid of people's reactions to my aging.
There's no point living at my age with many ingrained great fears.
As you get older, subconsciously you start thinking about mortality and protecting your offspring. It opens up a whole new avenue of life experiences.
It seems like the more you grow up the more you fear things.
I used to panic and get rattled when I was young, but as I've got older, I've started literally to live day to day. With age, you work out what matters.
I don't have a fear of aging or a fear of death.
The older you get, the more yourself you can be and the less worried you are about what other people think.
Ageing is something that both men and women are utterly terrified about.
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.
