Does it bother you at all? If so what aspects? Mobility? Physical Appearance?

We all get older so no.
I think it might start to bother me if i became less mobile but i don't mind my looks aging particularly, in fact it'd be nice to look older:P

Never bothers me, although I turned 21 on the 16th and I found myself thinking about aging and how time seems to be going by so quickly.

You can insult anyone you want.......
Physical appearance doesn't bother me as much. I want to keep my mobility as I can be independent and go where ever I want without needing help.

it scares me
even thinking of me being over 20 am like :eek: nope
its prob one of my biggest fears i think... to slowly fade away alone
i look at those really old people that come on the bus and take like 20 minutes to sit down in their actual seat
and i think about how at some point they were my age, they were making silly mistakes and laughing and joking around with their mates, their whole lives ahead of them
now their mates are probably dead, their kids prob only visit like twice a year, their grandkids are glued to their phones
such a depressing life i swear

It scares and depresses me. Not being able to remember things, not being able to hear properly, needing a carer, not being able to walk properly, all of it pretty much. And yes, the thought of my appearance changing freaks me out like my hairline thinning, having grey hair, wrinkles and a bad posture. And just not being able to have the energy and impulsiveness that I have now. I feel really sorry for the elderly

All of the above. There's not really a lot to be done about it, other than trying to keep in shape.

However bad aging is, it's better than the (current) alternative!

Yes true, and also it's not going to happen for a good few years so that's a relief. Yes you're right - at least if you're ageing, you're still able to experience things
