I am scared, worried and have anxiety about being an old man.
General AdviceBro…..I’ll be 51 on August 11th. You are just getting started.
The best advice I can give you is take care of your health. Start right fucking now. If you don’t have that going for you nothing else matters.
Aging isn't your problem. Fear of aging is the problem. Aging happens whether we like it or not. So it can happen with happiness and grace, or anxiety and fretting. Which will you prefer? Working on that fear is the best thing you can do. Also eat healthy and exercise.
Oh sweet heart, you better get over this complex because you have many years a head of you. And guess what? Every year after, we'll say 40, you will slowly decay.
Bruh.
I’m 65 years old and never thought I’d survive past 40. I did dirt bike stunts before that was a thing, raced cars, free climbed cliffs, etc. Ues I have arthritis and hard days, but my scar tissue and bad joints have been joyfully earned. You, my friend need some therapy. At 24, you are boxing yourself out of life because of fear. That’s speaks of a deeper issue than what can be managed in this forum. Get some help. In the meantime, live like you won’t make it to 40.
24? Wow more than halfway there already. Sorry.
Fuck man, calm down. I'm 45 and in great shape. Just workout and eat right.... don't do too many drugs/alchohol and you'll be fine. Just this morning I saw a video of a beastly ass 70yr old coming into a gym.
Dude im 29 and I barely feel different than 19. Yes u will age yes it will suck but death will fix it lol
Life just starts getting good at 30 bro. Chill lol
Start living....do stuff.....go places, meet people, go traveling, life can be short.....you run the risk of worrying your whole life away, and then getting old and thinking "why didn't I do more when I was young!" You should be having an absolute ball at your age. Life is supposed to be fun......take a leaf out of the French way of life, they make sure they squeeze as much fun out of every day as they can..... When you're enjoying every day you won't be concerned about anything other than taking as much pleasure as you can from the simple things in life......
24…. Really. I’m 62 and only just starting to worry about it. I’m not going anywhere any time soon.
I love the "how old live".

Everything you’ve ever known and loved has happened in the last 24 years. You’re anxious about being over 100? That’s three more of your lives. Imagine living your ENTIRE LIFE three more times. You have a lot more in front of you than you realize.
Dude. Worry about shit you can control. And seek therapy. Quick. Or your best years will be wasted on this bs... and you'll wonder what you did with your life.
It’s ganna happen no one likes it no one can fight it and every one dies, so knowing that yous should put your mind into other aspects of life like healthy lifestyle, family and hobbies retirement funds making yourself an happy life so when you are old even with your old body, you still can enjoy life
This might be unpopular, but good. Be afraid. You will never be this young again. Imagine all the things you can't do when you are older and do them nos. Over and over. Have so much fun while you are this age that when you get older, you have no regrets.
Plus I know so many people that got more physically fit in their 50s than they ever were in their 20s. I'm 33 right now and feel just as good as when I was 24.
It's not unpopular. It's just ill-advised. Does fear prevent aging?
Shadduuuuuuuup
yes, a thousand upvotes to you. a lot of this "anxiety" young people are having is happening because they aren't being told to STFU.
OP go talk to some of the migrants that are coming in to the country and ask them what their anxieties were and are. There's a certain level of privilege that enables a 24 year old to have anxiety about getting old (and ignorance to now just realize that aging cannot be stopped)
Your not old
What age is old to you?
