Title: Do you feel older or younger than your actual age?
Post by: slimz on July 10, 2014, 11:51:52 AM
So what is it?

I feel about 4 years younger, generally. When I think about it, there are some logical reasons (extra school, tend to hang out with cats younger than I am, etc.). But every now and then my real age hits me like  :frown:. Not like I'm being irresponsible and need to "grow up," but just because it's not how I feel in everyday life.

How bout you guys and gals?   :cyclist: or (https://goemaw.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Femoticoner.com%2Ffiles%2Femoticons%2Fsmileys%2Fbaby2-smiley.gif&hash=0afd9c76ee89b390fe9d93b75784ee2396b2429b) ?

I kinda feel my age. I got married young so I never experienced single life post college, so occasionally that makes me feel old, but mostly thankful because I like how things are for me now.

I act and date four years younger than my age.  I'm also really immature.

I am told I look 23/24 so I roll with that. Although the few gray hairs I have remind me I'm not that young.

It's kinda like in high school (7-12), I remember feeling like "omg the seniors are so hip, cool, whatever and looking up to them. But when I was a senior I didn't feel like I was suddenly some hip cool kid. I just felt like me?

Physically I feel right about where I should be, prime of my life. Mentally though I feel older, about 5 years so. I've had internships throughout college and worked every summer since I was a junior in high school, and started working full time at a good job right out of school. Basically, other than some decent winter breaks since my junior year of high school, when I didn't have school, I worked, when I didn't have work, I had school, for basically 9 years now, which when I think that the last time I had a summer off, and felt like a kid, was almost a decade ago and I'm in my mid 20's, I definitely feel old. My confirmation on this is that almost everyone I hang out with now on a regular basis is 30ish. Kind of works out I guess, maturity with a body that still feels very young.

I think I want to do activities that tend toward younger, but then my body reminds me that I am old.

How the eff would I know if I feel older than I am?  I've never been older than I am. 

People that think they don't feel as old as they are are living in denial and fear of their old dusty set of balls that they have.  Real cowards.

I feel younger but the joints are going south and the spare tire is inflating.  However, I feel like a total young stud when I compare myself to most of the fat bastards I grew up with.

I pretty much always feel the same.  I'll acknowledge that my body doesn't recover as quickly from exercise as it once did if I have to, but I never really think about that.

It's all in your head, except when you haven't done any physical activity in awhile then you feel your age.

Only thing that makes me feel younger than my age is when I see buddies I graduated with acting really old.

all of my friends my age are married with kids. and have been. for years. so i always inevitably feel younger. and i think even if that wasn't the case, i generally act quite a bit younger than my age and would feel the same way regardless.

my body is beginning to make me feel the accumulation of years tho  :frown:
