Is it normal that i fear the elderly?

Alright, so every since I was really little I can always remember being afriad of the elderly especially crippled and sad looking individuals. Just the sight of them makes me freak out. I can't really help it at all. Haha and there's no way you can get me into a hospital or nursing home. I guess the fact that I'm a germaphobe doesn't help at all. Is that normal?

  • Well ALOT of elderly people are afraid of us - so i'd say it's normal lol. I personally have a fear of being old because there's alot of pain and other disappointments that come with it.

  • This isn't normal as such, but I understand where you come from. Maybe there was a death in your family when you were young and that made you over compensate with trying to escape from your own mortality in later life (maybe even subconsciously?)
    Just a guess though:
