Are you feeling older?
Jump to: Newest in thread
I know that we are all chronologically getting older but do you feel that mentally too?
I don't feel any older mentally than I did in my 20s, when I look in the mirror I see ageing but I don't feel it yet.
Have a great day all.  |

Yes. I do like this stage of life. I'm aware that I cannot run as fast , jump as high , or drink as often but there are compensations for being mature and I wouldn't swap what I have for a return to youth...
We are born the wrong way around  |

For me I don't feel old as I'm still in good working order mentally and physically. But if I was in a room of 20 somethings I'd be much more aware of my age. |

My knee does today.
I've moved from the hedonistic to the epicurean.
Still feel the will to push the boundaries but I mostly drink tea and go for walks in the woods.
Actually I have always done that I just used to get stoned too.
Oh I don't know... What was the question? |

I've always felt older than many people my age, but that could be down to the fact that I prefer being in bed by 9pm and cwtched up with a book.
I do feel really old however when I ID someone at the bar and the number starts with 20 |

I collected my first pair of reading glasses today - up until now I’ve only needed glasses for distance (a pretty strong prescription too!) - so today I feel old 
It also takes me longer to recover from a big night out - but then it doesn’t help that I still try to dance like I did when I was 18  |

I don’t feel older so much, but … I’ve gained experience and confidence with the accumulation of years. I make less mistakes than I used to. I fill my space in the world a bit better - I feel like I’ve earned it.
I don’t mind this ageing thing. |

The only way I really feel older is in exercise and making sure I warm up correctly as opposed to when I was younger and my joints/muscles were made of rubber  |

I had to grow up before I reached 10 due to crap family troubles.
When I turned 20 I began to see my childhood was lacking in fun so I started to reclaim it a lot.
I thought that by the time I reached 40 I would have calmed down again.
Wrong!
If I hadn't had my life changing accident at 43 I would still be feeling 20 again. |

My mind still thinks I'm about 21
My body has a tendency to remind my mind that this is not the case on numerous occasions, like if I kneel down.
One thing I've found as I've got older is that hard surfaces feel an awful lot more solid than they did when I was younger. |

I'm learning several languages as well as a relatively new musical instrument (piano coming soon too) and over the last week I've cycled 20-plus miles on windy country roads on four occasions. So no, not feeling older than my years, in fact a decade or two younger. It's only the odd glitch that makes me feel older... oh, and ageism in various places... Maybe I ought to knock a couple of decades off my Fabs age as I'm forever being told I don't look my age. |

I don't feel much older mentally, and still able to do everything I want to do physically, but I am definitely conscious of my aging.
Obvious signs like the salt-n-peppering hair and less youthful skin, but sometimes I'm just struck by my actual age, and how long ago my youth was!  |

Salt & pepper hair is sexy though  |

"Obvious signs like the salt-n-peppering hair …
I’m quite jealous of that. Wish mine would turn."
Dream big, RTG!
To be fair, it's quite subtle so far, but the times they are a-changing with each passing hair cut... |
