Is it normal that i'm terrified of old people?

No one I've talked to about it feels the same. They all think I'm like, a horrible person for disliking old people but I can't help it. They terrify me and make me feel sick.. Is that normal?

    I guess it's normal. I don't like old people unless it's my grandparents. I looveee my grandparents and I find it beautiful to see them happily married for that long. But seeing other old people I don't bother to find it beautiful lol

    Try to see old people as wiser people, for generally they are. Try to see them as kinder for generally they are as they have learned to balance themselves. You are only afraid of becoming old which if you are lucky you wil one day.

    I think we have made our lives sterile on families. The family used to consist of all generations in the house. Grandparents were great story tellers. People delt with death a bit better too. Now we shuffle the old folks away from us.

    It's very common to feel uncomforable/afraid of the elderly. I am too and I am surprised no one around you shares those feelings.

    I try to avoid being nere old people, gratefully I dont know a lot of them. I dont hate them ,I just feel easily discusted by them, especially if I see them eating. Old people have a special odor which creep me out, its like the smell of death, like they should have died a long time ago, but still walk among us. Its not that I wish them to die, I just dont want to run into them.

    Only if the old people are dressed in flowing white gowns at midnight in a cemetary.

    no its not normal its just something society has forced upon us by removing elderly ppl from our families. think about it when you get older would you like to be shunned to an elderly home or live with your family?
