ever feel like you're getting old?

sometimes reading this forum i feel a bit old and in the way.. I am just 38 and not old in my mind or in real life but when i read what many heads tend to post on here..i feel that sometimes ive aged 20 yrs with one post....

different way of thinking i guess, i can usually tell the posts from older adults versus younger without looking at the age, but every now and then I think WTF? and i see the the poster is 17...

makes sense i was probably like that at 17 except we had NO internet at all, no web, no forums....none of the fun things that are available now...

anyway that is my random thought...

topics that make me feel old - when ppl discuss pharmies and selling...etc...

not smart in my eyes, also when people discuss what Mom said to them once home from school...things that are soo far back in my memory, its lind of nice to be brought back to that innocence, but also a bit like im old and in the way.....

 

sometimes I do feel like I'm getting old yeah. not because of this forum though.. just because of the responsibilities building up.

 

not really. in 10 years I'll be 35, which is still pretty young. that's ten more years of doing whatever the hell I want, then might be time to consider settling. maybe.

 

What would you rather discuss?

 

I'm guessing how the price of depends has skyrocketed, and how a membership in AARP isn’t the great money saver we were all led to believe

Just kidding

Hell I'm only 5 years younger, and while I can pass for someone in their early 20s, I wake up some mornings in desperate need of Geritol

I only feel old when I look in the mirror-lol!

Sometimes, some of the things younger posters are concerned about seem silly in the grand scheme of things, but I can remember when the same things seemed super important to me, too. Doesn't seem like that long ago, either. Kids have to go through the stuff kids have to go through.

A lot of the time, though, I really like hearing what younger people think. We need to hear from people who still see infinite possibilities.

Now, posts about how getting stoned is someone's main reason for living are just sad.

 

No, I do not feel old. Hell I am not old why should I.

However there are days I feel like I have been alive for thousands of years.

Maybe I have.

 

No. I'm afraid I'll GET old if I feel it. So I refuse to participate.

 

Yes sometimes I do

but in a way I don't mind because that means less time in the govt work camps

I actually am pretty young seeming for my age and still hang around some 20 somethings

I do feel more jaded sometimes when i read overly optimistic words written by eager college students and the like

or overly pouty words written by teens


look here junior don't you be so happy, and for heaven's sake don't you be so sad-Tom Verlaine

 

I want to accomplish everything ive planned before im 25, so yes i feel im getting old.

 

I've been a miner for a heart of gold, and I'm gettin' old.

 

People think I'm late 20's most of the time.

I have a wise soul.

 

never..age is timeless..

 

people think Im sixteen

 

I'm old and young at the same time.Luvit!

 

only every fucking day...

 

I've been in a real crisis ever since turning 30. But aside from that I'm fine.


P.S. I do feel a gaping experience gap sometimes when I flirt with the twenty-somethings at the bar.

 

i feel old when i get heartburn, or when i fall asleep watching tv in the afternoon

 

When I feel like I'm getting old, I turn to a great piece of advice from my philandering Dad.

'You're only as old as the woman you feel!'

 

LOL fair enough
