Since i was a little girl I always been afraid of getting old ., I feel like people will ignore me ..like if i were invisible., i see people do that to old people all the time ;(
Well we are either really lucky or really unlucky, as we live in an era where elongation of natural lifespan is a real possibility in the years to come, so depending on how old you are now, it could be the cruelest thing, to see healthy life extension coming in the next few decades but knowing its too late to benefit from it.
I believe young people today will live a very long time (without disease associated with old age), and ultimately humans will become immortal, through manipulations of Genes etc.
Of course we will need to change society, we cannot all continue to bare children if there is significantly less death (people would still die from accidents, or ilnesses that cannot yet be treated, etc). Also our objective for living would dramatically change, once you know your going to be alive for hundreds if not thousands of years, your viewpoint dramatically changes, eventually you would get bored of shopping and consumerism, our mindset would change towards exploring the universe etc.
In a nut shell if your over 30 your probably still gonna die, if your under 30 you might scrape into the begining of the new era
Yes it's normal. I think everyone is but just doesn't admit it.
I'm 25 and think that I am old. But I felt the same at 24, and 23 and 22.
I think that fear stems from not being 100% satisfied with life. As each year goes by and you do not accomplish what you want, the less time you have and the older you feel.
Just think, if you had it all - everything you wanted - would you have any worries?
No.
You'd be too caught up in the now, living your life to the fullest.
So my advice is to stop thinking about what you will be decades from now, and figure out how you will be the best you tomorrow.
Because the body may not live forever but legends do.
How will you change the world and be remembered by everyone?
That is what matters most.
The main reason I'm afraid of getting old is that there is a propability that I'll lost my conscious and get to forget everything; which would mean that I would be the same as a vegetable.
Getting old is natural. By the time you are 60 you will realize that no one really notoces each other anyways. Of course no one wants the health risks and the problems that hinder the elderly, but it happens. Just enjoy your life now, save for retirement, and from there, you can look back and enjoy life all over again..
Good luck.
I'm also afraid of getting old, but not because of invisibility. I don't want to deteriorate and dramatically age before my eyes. I'd rather die then get to that point...
Yeah getting old is really quite sad. You just have to try to live in the now. I plan on being very baked when I'm old. Like super baked all day just enjoying cannabis and conversation with my wife. ( I don't even smoke )
Can you really be sad while stoned?
I don't think anyone really wants to get old. You can avoid this by dying young.
I'm afraid to get old because I don't want to die. Of coarse that can happen when your young too. I'm just terribly afraid of death!
Eww, I'm afraid of getting old, too! But not for the same reason as you. I'm actually really scared to get all kind of weird diseases and will die in a very painful way. Or to see the one I love suffer and die. It's completely normal, I think.
I'm absolutely terrified of getting old ! Hope it gets better for yoo xcc
Do a Walt Disney. Get your head chopped off and cryogenically frozen. Although that dude had it done after he died, for some weird reason. Instead of just having a dead head, he's got a dead head that's a bit chillier.
Someone should have told the crazy fruit to have it done before he keeled over.
Probably normal but by the time your at an age where you feel is old you realise there's always older and your age doesn't seem that bad
so ..get stoned., cut my head while i'm young will make it less scary??wow why i didn't think of that ,,,THX!!
