An insight user wrote, “Fear of aging. Living in a culture that devalues the elderly. The idea of “anti-aging” as a marketing and sales hook. The abnormality, toxicity, and delusion involved with the pursuit of eternal youth.”
Many Redditors agreed that “With age comes wisdom (if you’re doing it right). That wisdom gives you insight about things like the fact that aging doesn’t matter, how cool you seem to others doesn’t matter, and that you should just do whatever makes you happy in life.”
