Strange fear for old people

46% Normal
11 Comments

Ever since I was small, I have this weird fear of old people. The way they talk the way they act. I'm particularly afraid of the old homeless people/beggars. it is as if I feel grim weeper lurking by. The wrinkles.. the expressions.. It scares me even though they look fine or happy. It is so semiotic to me.
However I'm fine with my grandmother only. But she passed away when I was 12, the day after my birthday.

I SOMETIMES FEEL DISGUSTED AT MYSELF BY THIS FEAR. *gasps* Am I normal? I MEAN I'M AFRAID OF OLD PEOPLE.

    Ahhh I love old people (not in a pervy way) you can learn so much from them, and the lines in their faces that you hate tell a million stories. You just have to look at it from a different perspective because this is definitely not normal

    You obviously know it's not normal since you uses the word STRANGE, an antonym of normal, to describe it.
