Gerascophobia (Greek: gerasco, "I am ageing" and φόβος, phobos, "fear")[1] is an abnormal or persistent fear of growing old or ageing.[2] Gerascophobia is a clinical phobia generally classified under specific phobias, fear of a single specific panic trigger.
Some authors also refer to it as gerontophobia, while others prefer to distinguish the fear/dislike of old age in general and the fear of one's own ageing.[1]
Gerascophobia is based on anxieties of being left alone, of being without resources and of being incapable of caring for oneself.[
Everbody has fears. I have one, in fact I have more than one. but the most I hate is becoming old. Sounds silly huh? but its true. I'm afraid to age. Is that so wrong.
I hate this fear because of all the phobia I have it's the only one that I cant seem to shake. Everytime I'm lying in bed I always space out and imagine me being old. It gives me the creeps. Its like a cold current running thru my spine.
I dont see anything good in aging. For me, It's the dumbest phenomenon in this world. I never want to see myself declining from my youth. I dont want to become helpless. Its better to die young than die of old age.

IT PAYS TO CHECK THE LABEL
This post was inspired by an episode of KYLE XY enjoy.
Everything we do in this world ends up giving us a title. A title sometimes
we can be proud of , or most of the times were ashamed to be associated with. Sometimes we dont even realize that our actions are the basis of this labels.
And society generally take this labels to sum us up as persons as a whole.
Let me elaborate.
Case 1. Rihanna and Chris Brown.
When the scandal between them broke the news, They end up gettting labeled. Rihanna being "THE VICTIM" and Chris being the "BEATER"
Rihanna ended up being more famous overnight while Chris became the most hated man on earth. (Too bad for you)
Case 2. Romeo and Juliet.
This couple ended up having too many labels. The star-crossed lovers, the greatest love story of all time and the greates MORONS in history.
Now, how did that happen? Well, not all we do were taken as they were by this judgemental society. Even if people see how noble your actions are, people will somehow twist things the way they are so you can be some amusement.
Now instead of the star-crossed lovers, they also go by the name of the couple-who-did-not-bother-checking-each-others-pulse-before-drinking-poison. Tsk tsk tsk. Such a waste.
Case 3. Certain devoted lover and cheating girlfriend.
Guy, work his ass off to be a better man for her. while, girlfriend on the other hand goes behind his back to flirt with other guys. What happens to them. She earned the title "CHEATER" and he goes by the name "BETRAYED".
To sum it all, is up to you. I just want to remind you that whatever label you earn in this life will always follow till you die. Because people never forget, and they will never fail to remind us the labels we earned.
