How to deal with aging?

Question

I'm 24 and I m suddenly terrified of getting older. I know its kinda of a universal fear but some people seem to deal with that very well. Can you please help and tell me your secret? Feel like i cant make mistakes anymore, younger ones may be more clever or better at doing stuff and its embarassing. I havent accomplised anything.

Answer

Fear of aging and fear of falling behind in your accomplishments are two different things. For fear of aging, I just remind myself that I’ll age either way, spending precious time worrying about it does absolutely nothing—for reference I’m 32 and don’t feel “old.” Whenever you catch yourself worrying about getting older just remember you can worry for the next year and you’ll still be another year older and in the exact same place if you do nothing but worry, or you can take steps towards your goals and enjoy life for that year and you’ll be a year wiser too. 
For fear of falling behind your peers, you can start by really examining your life goals whatever they might be, career goals, health goals, hobby goals, relationship goals, artistic goals, educational goals, etc. whatever calls to you. It’s okay to have multiple long term, mid-term, and short term goals. And write down any steps you can take to get there. The smallest steps matter. Say one of your goals is to further your career. Examine what classes or certificates you can take now to get you closer to that goal. Read books by distinguished people in that career, etc. If you want to run a marathon, you start by training every day and go a littler further and a little faster to reach your goal. Baby steps!

Answer

Think about some people don’t age and die young. Aging is a privilege that not many have.

Answer

Best thing you can do is manage your stress, exercise, use sun screen, hydrate and eat well/healthy. I didn’t do any of that due to my medical conditions and im aging much faster than my peers. It really is that simple.

Answer

Are you comparing yourself to people even younger than you? You're practically still a baby. The key is to just accept yourself where you're at while maintaining a growth mindset. If you think aging is hard at 24, wait until you're in your 40s and 50s and beyond… It doesn't get easier. ￼
