I am not afraid of death or anything, in fact, I am scared about losing myself.

This tends to happen at older ages, dementia and such. When I see people like those, out of their mind, unable to think straight, sometimes agressivity and ignorance...

I do not want to end up like one of them.

I keep thinking that maybe I should save myself a freakin bullet and when I reach the age, just do everyone a favor and shoot myself, or use some drug that will make me fall a sleep or something.

I understand that they are people who are normal when they are old, but they are minority.

I am 21 by the way.

    Big talk from a young person. You'll be kicking and screaming to stay alive when you get here, I have no doubt. The less life one has to look forward to, the more precious it is.

    It is normal to worry about dementia as one approaches old age, but it is not normal for you to worry about it at this stage in your life. You have DECADES yet! Why are you distressing yourself about it now? Put it from your mind, and enjoy the wonderful gift that is your life.

      I'm 65 and 8 months old. My mind don't know I'm old, my body does. I can still have sex, go fishing, take trips, go camping. I can't fight like I could when I was 38. I still play shooter games. I'm retired for the second time. That was my biggest mistake selling my biz. I miss working I wish I never sold my biz. At 65 I don't want to spend $90.000 to go back to work. Getting old is not what I wanted but what you do between young and old is the important thing.

    I disagree, but I used to think the same.
    I am confident I will be happy throughout my life.

      There's a difference between wanting to be young, and wanting to die just because you're older.

        Wanting to live young also means Not wanting to live old.
