I guess the most part which most of the people get's freaked out from getting old, is they become weaker physically, as you know humans inmately never and ever likes to appear weak.. I guess the isolation from the community and body weakness are the only two reasons why people get scared from getting old.

But there are some old people who doesn't at all looks old, they have this young spirit which makes them look younger then their age, but unfortunately they are so rare.

not really! every age has its own beauty,every wrinkle on the face and evry grey hair on the head represent somthing from your past.When the time comes you get what you are supposed to get .You can not prevent it but you can delay it by eating health ,having regular exercises and keeping out of stress as much as possible.Loosing my mind would make me scared the most about getting old as the mind is the manager of the body.I would be scared that i would not be able to remember my kids and grandkids.i might even end up kissing the man who i have never seen by thinking that is my husband.lol.would be funny

However, in my point of view, getting alone is the worst thing to a person, specially to old people

There is any reason to be scared about age.Everybody needs to pass every age and reach many expiriences.It is very important for us people wisedom.Every age can be beautiful only we have to know what we want to do,what want to feel and achieve.With such sort of knowledge it is not important whether I am 30 ,40 ,50 or 100 years old person.Till I feel ,till I like, till I love, till I have friends the age is not important to me.

I'm not scared; it is natural that everyone will get to this stage of life. I only wish that everyone will be in a good health when he/she reaches this stage, so take care of yourself and your body. Honesty, I'm afraid of cognitive diseases like Parkinson and Alzheimer diseases.
