What scares you the most about getting old?

[KiLl_RoY]

what would happen in a zombie attack and im a 84 year old grandpa on a wheel chair!

 

[Lynx]

Losing control of my body, my mind and my senses (= going blind, deaf, etc.)
Also, I fear having regrets, and I fear the feeling that I've missed out on things I should've done while I had an opportunity.

 

[WlknCntrdiction]

I'm not scared of getting old, period. Cause I know I'll still be doing Parkour, and keeping fit and active even when I'm reaching 50 odd in age. You may not be able to say you won't get certain diseases, no one can, but I'm not going to sit around like most old people do and just decay and not do anything about it. You see it everywhere, the elderly not being able to do anything for themselves and the obese parents who are dying slowly, not going to be me that's for sure.

Having to buy a single piece of fruit with a coupon and then return it, making people wait behind me while I complain.

But not needing a fake ID to rent ultra-porn would be a plus.

Cookie if you get that.

 

[open trap]

all the advantages that come with being young such as alot of energy, fast matabolism, quick recovery from injuries, you no the that good stuff

 

[PTSpyder]

Simply medically speaking, parkinson's disease. Something about being stuck inside your body but not able to control yourself is terrifying. More likely to happen to everyone is something that Ive started to notice as I am getting older. People come to you looking for answers to serious and important things, and you have no bleeding idea on what they should do, so you give them your best advice and they hang on your every word like its gold. Man, I dont even know what to do with my life, what in the world would have possibly given you the impression that I know what YOU should do with yours?

 

[Lord Thodin]

When my body gives out on me. Or realizing that i have a regret about something, then being to old to fix it.

Example: Really wish i could'a sky dived off the seattle space needle.......too late now

 

[SecretTacoNinja]

Everything. The illness, the loss of memory, the loss of bowel control...

I don't wanna get old.

My grandmother also has Parkinson's and meets with a group of people with the same condition about once a week. My uncle says its fine as long as they don't serve soup.

[Beffudled Sheep]

All of the ailments scare me. I don't want to go blind, deaf, lose control of bodily functions like taking a piss. I would sooner die than get sick because of age.

Thanks for that. My family can be pretty tasteless.

 

[DrDeath3191]

Losing my mind to alzeimers scares the hell out of me.

 

[GodsOneMistake]

Probably not being to hear as well. I just hope that getting old doesn't make me a nuisance to those around me.

But HardRock You already are, there's no reason to worry about that. Now please it's time for you to take your stool softener and than go to bed. XP

 

[dontworryaboutit]

Basically, most of what I have to say about my old age fears can be summed up through this song.


Yeah I know it's not very imaginative of me to simply respond by using someone else's intellectual property, but tough. You'll have to live with it.

 

[Lord Beautiful]

Losing my mental clarity and sexiness.

 

[Twilight_guy]

Having to wear adult diapers. I hope I never get that bad.

 

[theultimateend]

Please note that I do not mean dying. I mean all the things that start going wrong with your body as you get older.

Death is the result of everything going wrong at exactly the wrong time.

But honestly, take your pick. They all terrify me.

Saggy Balls?

That's what I'm going to have to pick. I'm told that old balls sag waaaay down.

Losing my mind to alzeimers scares the hell out of me.

Good news is that its ultimately fatal so once you have it your number is certainly getting called. Well ok that's bad news but it helps that people know this doesn't just make your mind go, it also kills you.

 

[Zersy]

I agree. going blind would be the worst thing for me too. I can't imagine a life where i couldn't read. Its my ultimate nightmare

Try having a dream where you are blind !!

IT was one of the most scariest and awkward dreams in my life.
