Do you feel old? If so, when did you start to feel that you were old?

I'm 23 and I feel ancient. Probably because most of my online friends are younger than me and I've been an adult for a while, finished college, etc. I started feeling old around 18-19, actually. When I was a kid, I got into a mindset that I would never really grow up and I'd be a child forever. Sometimes, I still try to convince myself that I'm an adult

What about you?

I'm just 2 years older than you, and my mom is 58 and my dad is 57. Holy shit, they'll be in their 60s soon.

I always thought it was dumb that they just assume that all males are testosterone-driven road ragers, regardless of driving record.

I'm 21, and I still feel young. It's weird. I know people who are 23 and they say that they feel old too. Hm...

Not just yet. I may be 25, but I still got a bit of youth kickin' around, that's for sure. So long as I act a bit closer to my shoe size, that's what counts.

Hopefully that feeling won't go away anytime soon.

I'm 19, I feel old and a fool, and my parents have both essentially reached their 60's (mom's turning 60 in November).

I certainly feel it from time to time, but I certainly know I'm not. Most of the time I just feel like an average 19-year-old, really. (I think it's normal for everyone, really.)

One thing that's bothered me was 30 and 40-year-olds saying they're old. Feeling it is one thing, but I never actually say I am.

My mom and dad are in their young 50s. I remember when I was little thinking they were going to die. I feel stupid now. Oh and I am younger.

I am 21. I have always 'felt' old, regardless of my physical age... I have an old soul, so to speak. Never cared for most things people did my age as a teenager and had nothing in common with them on pop culture things.

Now that I'm older though, I can now relate to people again, since past teenage people are generally agreeable, in my mind.

...

No offense to the would-be teenagers here. :p

I feel old when I think about how there are kids on the internet now younger than the Gamecube. And how I was born in the same year as SMB3 in Japan. A nerdy way to think about it, but yes.

And then I realize I'm still in school and it gets worse.

It is especially scary when old dudes (with a kid heart) who normally call you a 'kid' for being 22.... no longer call you a kid when you turn 23.

People should have been born with a stop aging button.

Haha, it's the same here! I'll be turning 24 in a few months. I started working at quite a young age and I've always been more 'serious' and 'enterprising' than most of my friends. I currently have a summer job as a mailman (since I'll be going to Australia in a few weeks for a long time) and I have to pick up corporate mail at companies. One of these companies is the high school I went to when I was 11 - 15 years old. I really felt ancient when I saw all these tiny juveniles walking around when I went to pick up the mail.

Same here, except for the "don't feel old" part.

I just finished moving out of my apartment, and my legs and back hurt so bad I can hardly move OR sleep.

I may just be going through this. I'm pretty much the only one in class with no interest in: most of their pop culture, sports, the television, smoking, getting high, and sex.
And I feel a bit old too.

Oh, and I'll be turning 16 soon. That's about the age people thought I am when I talked to them on the internet when I was 11. Wonder if anything changed.

22 in 6 days.

Sometimes I feel old, but that's mainly when I feel alienated from my peers. People generally think I'm older than I am, so it doesn't help much.

I think most people feel old when they make a lot of bad decisions in succession, too. The learning curve is steep, and it makes you weary.

24 here. I don't feel old mentally. I'm still just a kid at heart. I can sit down with a box of Legos and play for hours. I can play video games all day and eat pizza all 3 meals.

I have moments when I realize I'm an adult, like paying bills, caring for my children, going to work, etc. But it doesn't make me feel all that old. I guess maybe because I have 4 older brothers so I always know I'm the youngest. My oldest brother is turning 40 next year and my mom is 60 this year.
