I’m 36 and people tell me frequently they thought I was in my mid 20s. Sometimes you’re only as old as you act and feel. Some people just give up.
Well, how you look has a lot to do with that.
I don’t think I’m going to win any contest in that department to be honest with you.
But do you look young for your age?
Yep, I’m in better shape now in my 40s than I was when I was in my 20s. Owning a large rescue farm probably helps with that, but people think the same thing with my wife as well.
You have to stay active.
I am not a triathlete, and I don’t think you should be one either. It’s important to either find work where you can stand at least half the day or do some sort of extra exercise.
Get a logistics or supply chain job, use your brain and your legs.

Happy birthday!
Here’s your present.

Yeah, then in your forties you realize how young you still were in your thirties.
This is so nonsensical, yet so true simultaneously. The actual ages will differ for each of us, but the general concept is accurate
Let me add another perspective.
I am 42 this year. Intellectually, I know I’m closer to 50 than to 30, but even typing that out, I dont really “believe” that.
I don’t even really have a problem turning 50, per se. I just can’t lock in the concept as a future eventuality. I am calling it in my 42nd year: I won’t see 50 coming until it’s literally here.
Or I’m destined to die before then.
I feel like I peaked mentally at like 28. Like, I’m older now but I don’t mentally feel older. I can feel it in me bones but not in me head, see?
Me, immediately upon reading this thread:
Fuck.
All it matters is I still have one more year to tell strangers I’m 27, sweet
Very true, except the trigger age is different for everybody.
For me it was 42-43, I went from feeling 30ish and comfortable hanging out with people that age to feeling like the old guy in the room. And physically feeling 60…
Man… I have been feeling that since my teens… I don’t think it can get worse…
Welp, I turn 35 in two months. I think it’s too late for me anyway
I’m 37 and fuck all of this wonky bullshit psychology. Stay healthy, keep fit and be as old as you want to be.
Don’t say that. I turn 34 in March as well, and I am going back to college. It certainly was a difficult experience turning 30 in the middle of COVID, feeling very isolated, my “career” fell apart because the business I helped build from the ground up was sold, but here I am making a go of it to make a better life. I’m just here to say don’t give up on yourself or your future. We only have but one life to live, and we should try to make the best of it regardless of the cards we are dealt. I believe in you!
I turn forty this year. For the past couple of months, I’ve noticed I get “old-man tired”. There is no period of “getting tired”. It’s just all the sudden I am tired. Nothing can be done until I sleep. I don’t sleep nearly as long at least.
I guess since I just turned 57 that makes me actually 80?
Nah 60s are the new 40s! You’re good!

when you are 34 you are actually 27 but the second you turn 35 you are 50. i learned this too late but it’s not too late for me to warn you.
They used to say this about 30, to my understanding
Oh good. Hopefully by the time I’m 34 it will be 38.
