I am 41, will be 42 in december!! I feel awkward because I have always been the "young one" in my family...all my siblings are 10,11 and 12 years older then me. Even my husband is 4 years older then me. Then one day I wake up and realize the "young one" is now 41! damn damn damn!!

Well, I don't think about it too much. However, everyday I am asked (X100)... is that your real hair? No way! How old are you!? No way!!!

It is good to feel like an eternal young whipper snapper.

~Hugs Miguel.

However... in the morning when I first step out of bed, my joints feel like 999.

i think i'm selectively age dysphoric...i usually don't feel like a 36...ahem...37-year-old. i still have lots of energy, i still love weird shit and loud music, blah blah blah whatever...but when a young'un gets on my nerves, i have no problem going into my old man authority-figure voice and giving the whippersnapper what-for.

sweety!

I just DREAD the day when I'm out on the dance floor doing my thing and some of the younger folks start looking at me funny.

So far, soooo good.

MIGUELGOMEZ said:

I'm having a little bit of that.

Not that anyone's looked at me funny, but that I keep expecting them to. There's a new dance night in Mpls that I've been to twice that I absolutely LOVE but the crowd is about 8-10 years tounger than me. I hate that feeling. Certainly no one has said anything but I know they're all wondering who the old lady is hogging the speaker.

MIGUELGOMEZ said:

Oh, don't even trip, Miggy! The youngsters probably already have, but that's because they're really good at hiding it. Just enjoy yourself--the youngsters have been staring at me from the sidelines since I was their age!

Then 50 must be the new 40

Im 36 and so couldnt care about it , occasionally someone will say something and it reminds me of how old I really am but I dont act like a responsible adult at all

MIGUELGOMEZ said:

It probably doesn't help that I bring my own dancing pole.....

Awww!

I am 47 but feel 37. The other day I was approached by a saleswoman and I was asked to point out my age bracket and she was totally shocked that I said between 45 and 55. She said that she thought I was between 25 and 35. I have no wrinkles or sagging jowls and very few laugh lines although the grey hairs which now seem to be coming through seem to give it all away -- ha ha ha!!!

The children keep me young they are 5 yrs and 4 yrs and I have asked my husband if we can adopt another baby - we are now seriously considering it.

Congratulations on the possible new bambino!!!
That is lovely.

I don't suppose I relate to age either in a positive or negative way... It just is....

Actually there is a right way to live your life. And even if you think there's not there is definitely a wrong way to live your life so if there's a wrong then there has to be a right.....just sayin'.

The other day my managers daughter who is 17 was hanging with us and the song "Papa don't preach" came up and she thought Kelly Osbourne was the originator. She had no idea it was Madonna and then I felt old.

I'm only 19
