I feel like I’m 50. I’m in my twenties.
Not at all. I’m 36 but I still feel like I’m in my 20s (that is, until I’m actually around people in their 20s).
This. It probably is a mix of holding onto being “young” while also being “flash frozen” due to the last decade or so of global politics and events.
Sometimes older, sometimes younger. Depends on the day.
Yea. I feel sore and tired, but also more self-assured. It’s a decent trade
Physically yes, mentally no
Yes in the way that the older I get, the more important it becomes to take care of myself. Physical activity is most important for me in this regard. Giving myself opportunity to sleep well. Avoid alcohol. These three things interact. If I take care of myself I don’t feel physically old.
Way the opposite. I feel like the people around me (specially those of my same age group or older peers) want me to feel it.
I realize that for many things, my points of view, for example on how to spend my free time or on things that, with age tend to become conservative, such as immigration or lgbtq+ matters, I retain the same progressive views I had in my 20’s so, specially at work, people tend to make me feel as if I never grew up.
Apparently, around here, when you get to your 30’s and beyond, videogames become a taboo, anime too, and you must get a hobby in line with your age, such as soccer or, lately, following wackos on facebook spewing insane crap.
You also have to start being racist and bigot.
In my 40s and physically I feel every year. Things creak, break, make me groan and weight glues to my belly. I finally feel like an adult now
I felt like that in my 20’s. I am now eating better, lot less stressed and I am more physically active. I am stronger, more flexible, have more energy, and enjoy my life more now than ever
Start exercise… Suggest road bicycle, best sport ever and great for aging!
Getting close to 50 and I don’t feel it at all.
Maybe lucky, or maybe the high volume of balanced physical activity I do actually helps a lot.
50+ and I can feel it every single day. Often, at night too. I’ve a few severe health issue that certainly do not help. I learned to ignore that constant negative feedback from my body to focus on the positive feedback it also is sending me like feeling better because I try to take good care of whatever is still working in it ;)
That being said, I still don’t feel like an adult… or maybe it would be more correct to say I feel the same I felt when I was a little boy which did not felt much like being a kid.
I no more think of myself as being as old as I am than fly.
Yes. I went to a water slide park today with my kids. My backside was sore from the part where you sit down, before you slide.
Historically, it would be sure from the landing of a launch off feoma half seared position.
Still, seeing my young kids enjoy it is kore enjoyable than enjoying it myself at their age.
I’m 67 feel like 45-ish so no.
Not really but I trust the number. I guess I define what my age feels like rather than the other way around. I sure as hell would not fit with people my age from 30 years ago.
I have trouble sleeping since I’m in my 30s, especially because I can’t sleep like I used to before. I now have to sleep on the side, otherwise my back hurts, but I’m not comfy.
But apart from that, I don’t feel any different during the day.
