I am only in my mid 20's and have been through a lot, and my body is already falling apart. I have no plans to have children.
I feel like living to be old, especially 90+, would be a torturous existence. I'd be content with only living to be middle aged, like 40-50. I don't want to outlive my friends and loved ones and be alone.
Thats what everyone thinks when their young but most people don't wish they were dead when their old. How you perceive aging changes mate.
Doesnormalmatter is right: how you perceive age changes as you get older.
I was your age about forty years ago, and I really had no conception of what it would be like to be in my sixties. In fact, it's not a bad place to be at all. Definitely different to being in my twenties, but I now see that the guy I was then was really pretty dumb and naïve.
I now have some assumptions about what it would be like to be ninety, but I'm not sure those are any more accurate than my earlier assumptions about being in my sixties.
I suggest you focus on living your life to the best of your abilities right now, and try to forget about worrying what life will be like for you more than half a century down the line. You may eventually get there and find out what that's like, or it might not happen. It might not be nearly as bad as you now think, or it may be horrible for you, but then we all have options for exiting life on our own terms if we so choose.
Yh I got that feeling a bit,if I get old so be it but I get perplexed with people who are wishing and hoping to live very long cmon haven’t they seen most people in their 90s no way am I wishing for that if it happens it happens though
Nobody WANTS to be old! People just tend to get old if they continue to keep on living.
