Elderly People

Discussion

This might be a bit uncomfortable, and if so I’m sorry for that. I’m just looking for psychoanalytic and inner perspectives and thoughts. Even when I was very young, I enjoyed observing elderly people and chatting with them. I tried to speak wisely, asked them questions, and wanted to gain their approval. Right now, I want to quit my current job and I’m looking at job postings where I could work in elderly care in nursing homes.

To go further, I don’t have anything that could be described as perverse, but as a bisexual person, I sometimes find myself sexually attracted to them.

I have my own thoughts about the reason for my interest in elderly people, but since the people in this subreddit have very high insight, I just wanted to write down my feelings without influencing possible answers.
