This is a question for the older people. As you get older do you begin to lose your sense acceptable behavior

Question

Do you begin to not care as much about right and wrong?

Answer 1

True, The older you get the easier it is to walk up to someone and say "you're fat AND you're ugly, get out of my way"

It is truly liberating.

Answer 2

i used to think my mother was the most embarrassing person on earth and would alm0ost die at some of the things that she did and said. As I got older, and I am probably old enough to be your grandmother, I am doing the same thing that my mom did. I taste all the samples at grocery stores, say whatever is on my mind, wear shorts in the winter, or whatever I want to wear, and care very little of what others may think. I think that as one gets older, life becomes simplified in that there is no more need t0 succeed, pretend, keep up with the Jones and really we begin to see how futile and foolish the rat race really is. So yes I think ascceptable behavior begins to be less important

Answer 3

At the age of 53 I think I qualify as older. I don't care much for what other
people think of me but I don't think I exhibit inappropriate behaviour. I do
think alot about right and wrong. It seems that there are continually things
coming up which need to be thought about and ruled right or wrong. I
spend more time thinking now than ever before. I hope I don't turn into
one of those bossy, pushy, opinionated old hags. I think that they must
have always been that way. It takes a long time to learn how to be so
annoying.

Answer 4

As one gets older we have MORE awareness of what is right or wrong. Older people do not lose their sense of acceptable behavior we have more of it.

Answer 5

Well I'm older but not that old. Anyway.....I don't think it's so much that you lose your sense of what's right and what's wrong but more like you come to the conclusion that people need to accept you for who and what you are. When you are younger you want to be accepted, be in the "in" crowd so you go with the beat of the drum. As you age and mature you come to realize that you can't please everyone or make them like you so the only one you truly need to please is yourself. So you start to march to your own drum. I haven't nor will I ever lose my sense of right and wrong but I don't care what people think of me. Either they like me for me or they aren't worth my time. Simple as that!

Answer 6

the opposite c, we may lose our hair ,our eyesight or our ability to climb tall stairs , but we do not lose the sense of right or wrong . If you never had respect for yourself or anything else ,you won't have it now , but that is a very small number
So the answer is,nope , and as for loss of acceptable behaviour. this is not to be confused with a disease called Alzheimer's.
as for unacceptable behaviour , the younger have shown that they can outdo any group with unacceptable behaviour .

Answer 7

I don't believe so. I think as you get older your moral sense actually increases based on life's experiences. Of course, if a medical issue arises, such as Alzheimer's disease, then certainly erratic behavior can result. But, for all other seniors, I think the majority act responsibly.

Answer 8

I'm 50 years old. In my opinion you get better at making moraal decisions and are less concerned with appearances. If somebody doesn't like your morality you tend to be less concerned about it. So long as you know what you are doing is the right thing the rest can...

Answer 9

You care more about what is right and wrong and less about what people think of you.
