Is it normal to be scared of aging?

Mostly.Normal for most people

Yes, it’s normal to feel scared of aging. Getting older can bring up worries about change, health, appearance, and time passing, even if you also look forward to parts of it.

Aging can feel unsettling because it means change—and because it can bring thoughts about health, losing people, or having less time. You might also feel pressure to stay young, which doesn’t exactly make the whole thing easier.
