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.
