Feeling bad about Old People
72% Normal
6 Comments

Whenever I see an old person who looks like they're struggling, I always feel really bad that I'm so able. And I feel as though they're perhaps jealous of me, for being so able.

Does anybody else feel bad around old people?
Do you think it's normal?

I feel that we, as humans, are living to long nowadays. I'm not sure if I want to be around and not self-sufficent. I'm 32 and I wish I was younger all the time; don't feel bad for me. You should be jealous of all the good drugs the elderly are on! :)
i dislike old people, whenever i see them struggling i usually wish that they would fall or i think about pushing them over and taking their cane
Well you do have a lot of compassion about old people don't you it seems. Usually when someone feels for someone they have a lot of compassion. I think that is what you have for old people. You know you may want to work with the elderly if you feel so bad about it.
I would advise being cautious about working with the elderly. I used to volunteer in a nursing home and take people from their rooms to therapy. I saw alot of sad things, and I would always be dreading the next day I would come.

You'd be better of playing games and making conversation with the people that still have their mind.

Seeing crazy old people all the time just makes you want to go home, grab a shotgun and die young.
I feel the same way. I have actually been in tears because of it. I don't understand why, but I just hate it.
I actually pray that I am able to get around better when I'm that age. I don't dislike old people, I do feel that they shouldn't be allowed to drive a car at a certain age. If they are struggling, be respectful of your elders and go help them out. That should ease your conscience...
