I hate old peope

Hating old people is about as rational as hating blue-eyed people, or people taller than average, or people with a skin color different to your own.

You finish by saying you hate watching people get old and you're terrified of death. That suggests that what you really feel when you look at old people is not hate, but fear. When I started to read your question, I thought you were shallow and pretty stupid (or a troll), but by the time I got to the end I was wondering if your problem might be a little too much empathy. Maybe you look at old people and put yourself in their shoes, and the hate you feel is not about them, but the idea of you being like that?

Old people that are annoying and weak were probably always annoying and weak. There's no cosmic law that means the passage of years invariably turns generous, positive, curious young people into selfish, negative, stupid old people.

Life can be difficult, and some people do get beaten down by their experiences. Few people reach old age without suffering some health problems, and bodies do wear out. Many old people suffer from chronic physical pain of one sort or another, and that can make it very difficult to be positive. Some old people are filled with regret about things they did or didn't do, and that can be another sort of chronic pain. Once people stop working, it's very easy for their lives to become very narrow and self-centered, and that can make things difficult for those around them.

I'm over 60 now, and here's what I've found about getting older: as long as your body behaves itself and you can accept that you're no longer young, how you see the world doesn't really change that much. It can be a little bit of a shock to look in the mirror and see some old guy looking back at you, but I'm still me. I know a lot more than I did when I was your age, and that means some of my opinions have changed and developed over the decades, but as long as you have people in your life who love you, as long as you can keep looking forward and not back, and as long as you don't have money or health worries, life just keeps getting better and more interesting.

You mention twice how much you love your grandparents. Is it possible that part of your fear of old age and death is because you fear their deaths?

If you think your grandparents have dealt well with getting old, why don't you talk to them about what they've experienced as the years have passed, and how they've coped with the ways their bodies have changed?

50? You mad? 50 isn't old!
'Old' people nag because these young'uns have absolutely no respect anymore (well most) ..
I'm only 24 but I already find myself complaining about the youth of today .. because they're total idiots.

You too are going to be an old person, So I can just imagine you hating yourself for being old.

I'm afraid of getting old honestly, but it's not normal to hate all old people.

Sounds like you may have had an unpleasant experience with an entitled, rude old person.

Sometimes they think that they're much wiser than younger people because of how long they've been alive, even if it isn't true.

Whatever the cause, your attitude is way too extreme and hateful to be considered normal.

I also trust older people better because they come from an age where people were more honest, played fewer games and jerked people around less than they do today, and had better moral structures. Some people say that people acted just as messed up back then as they do today, and are only nicer now because they've mellowed with age. I disagree completely. People in general back then did not act like people today do. Everything was different 60 - 70 years ago; music, films, family structures, people at work, relationships, values. Almost everybody was different back then. I do agree that some old people are bitter. Some older people today are bitter because of the way the world has gotten worse, some are bitter because of going through traumatic times like World War 2, but many older people are the nicest, most genuine people around, and that's the sign of how more people were like way back then. The nice elderly people today though were not the bitter people of the old days, and were not dishonest pricks back then. People are not going to switch from angry, game playing pricks to nice, decent older folks just because they've turned elderly. Once a person is past 30 to 35 years old, they are who they are going to be the rest of their lives.

I'm 65 but agree that doctor's can't just let people go. Too many old people are causing welfare and financial problems. I think a peaceful death is preferable to someone jumping up and down on my chest. We all have a limited time here and once incontinence, blindness and helplessness appear it's time to go.

Old people aren't a waste of space. Being disgusted by them is completely abnormal.

I wish you a looooooooooooooong life, and your house to be near a student block :)

You hate old people because there's preponderance of them. The population is aging, and now we have senior living facilities on every street corner. Quality of life is now measured in the number of pea soup cups a person dribbles down their chin each day. States like Florida have turned into "Night of the Living Dead". It's nauseating, depressing, and cause for concern.
There's life, death, and mere subsistence -- and I will choose death over mere subsistence.

Thanks a lot! I got some bad news for you. You will grow old too you little twerp.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but you're going to be old someday. Go off yourself.

What kind of person hates one of the most vulnerable groups in society? What a major ball sack and ass man?

You need therapy.

The edge !

The way things are going in this world, you'll be lucky to get old.

Bad idea because time goes by quick, and soon you will be old. So hating the smelly old people will have a bad effect when you reach that age - and you will, unless you get run over by a truck tomorrow.

This is so messed up! Hating old people, what hatered is gonna come next in this new fucked up society today? Doctors and welfare wasting time and money by helping old people? Seriously!? Old people have every right to live just like anybody else until it's their time to go naturally. It doesn't matter if some people want to consider them invalid, they are not wasting space. And I got news for you, you'll be old, wrinkled, and invalid someday too unless you die before you get there. There's no third option.

Old people blah blah.

How many people under 50 are billionaires ten times over excluding dot com nouveau riche ?

How many under 50s run countries.

How many under 50s are in control of multi-national companies whose power & influence extend globally.

You are them

Too many old people is the problem.

It wasn't long ago, that people who were lucky enough to reach 65, usually died before they reached 70.
But the stupid doctor, keeps fixing all their stupid problems.

What's worse, is the stupid government, that is run by stupid old people, has mandated that it's illegal for stupid old people to die, only so they can brag and gloat about how old and stupid they have become.

Then, the stupid old people themselves, usually wait until it's too late to fix all the stupid problems that they had caused.
