Same here. Not sure when it started happening though.

when i hit 40 i started falling apart...really ...i got arthritis in my foot, found out i had IC (cystitis)...then last yr i got tendonitis in my elbow.
(& thats just a few of my ailments)

but i do have my good days~

I don't feel old...I feel superior.

When I started drinking as a way to compliment a meal as opposed to drinking for the soul purpose of getting sloshed.

A year or so ago when I found I couldn't drink loads of beer on back to back evenings. Takes longer to recover than when I was 21.

i clearly remember thinking my childhood was over and that i should settle down at six years old. i've never really felt young.

You guys are hot little babes I must say.

I started feeling old when, I went to six flags magic mountain with my nieces over the summer...and all the rides that use to be fun, were now kinda scary!!!

I've been an old soul all my life. I've never felt connected to my own generation and I am glad of that.

When the person who started this thread used the phrase, "I'm just 25..."

roodboi said:

oh yeah! when I hear mums say to their kids "go ask that lady over there" instead of girl

although MY kids still insist I am girl not a lady

ZombieKitten said:

I wish my mom would send me to ask you a question..

roodboi said:

"wtf Jase! go ask that nice lady over there!"

ZombieKitten said:

I'd run up to you all snotty nosed...tug on your sleeve...












never mind, this is starting to seem like a fetish chatroom conversation...

i got id'd at the bar when i went out with meow85 last week (i'm 12 yrs her senior! )
and my nephew insists that since i'm not a mom i must still be a teenager


although neither of those things have anything to do with feeling or looking young
i think in the last couple years when my skin has started to loose it's bounce
and i contemplate whether i will ever realistically have a child...
or considering that i'm closer to my twenty year reunion than i am to my ten year


but grey hairs... first one was at about 23 or so.

I started to feel old when.....oh wait im still a teenager

Turning 30 was not fun

My 20 year HS reunion is next year

Ocean said:

I'm turning 30 soon

Calligraphy said:

Haha, that was the whole point of it though. It's really really weird at JUST 25 and losing a connection with "the kids"

Oh yeah, and I've just been informed of my 10 year school reunion (we leave at 16 here). Obviously I'm giving it a miss since I've got another Prince concert booked that day. No WAY I'm giving up Prince to see a bunch of people I would have kept in contact with if I actually cared about them.

next year is my 20 year one!

This year (33). But I think I said that last year. Philosophically, each year we get older we notice another new “old-indicator”, a back twinge, a grey hair, a grey pube and think that’s it, NOW I am old. I hope this continues. So when I am 60, i can say, now I am old, but last year I wasn't. It depends on from what perspective you look at it.

For me perhaps a better question would be when did you last feel young? To this, i would reply (finally) 25/26

I have days but they come and go...lately I have felt it because I am a little stressed at home and at work.
I find that when we are super busy at work and I do not have to time to eat let alone pee that I get cranky and I never did that when I was young....

Since I broke my leg last year I still get pain in that spot that broke- when that flares up I feel old but it could be much worse...

I am always told I do not look 36 - so that is good!
