To be really scared of getting old

[Sophia91]

I’m so scared of getting old and losing my looks. I was talking to a friend last week who said it’s all down hill after about 35. Im also bothered about health, more so than looks, but these things are really playing on my mind.

Do you have kids OP? I found much less worried about my looks now I have kids - much more worried about my own mortality

One of the gifts of getting older is that you start to care so much less about what others think of you. Becoming less visible felt like a blessing too. Your worries and concerns are just immaturities and once you realise that you are so much more than how you look, you will not feel this way.
