Forums - General Discussion - Signs of being old?

My life won't change because of my outside appearance. I'm more concerned with my fitness, slowed reaction speed and weakening immune system.

Age has nothing to do with experience...something iften confused by people.

As you get older...I'm now 33 two things stand out.

One is...you don't feel your age mentally. You truly wonder if people view you as an adult.

And second. You realize that the world has so much to offer. The knowledge you possess no matter how accomplished...is in fact minuscule.

You do notice the signs...and will compare yourself to not only people your age but people of all ages sibce some of us age well and others just don't. So in return you become conscious of eating healthy snd exercise...almost naturally.

In all seriousness...it feels like I was 18 just a few years ago.



Insert Coin. Press START. You Died. Continue?

Get grey hair on the sides. Waking up getting harder. Damned kids skateboarding on the sidewalk.

the biggest sign I found was the difference when I complete the sum of Current Year - Year of Birth = X
Each year the answer seems to grow larger and I've not found a method to reverse this process yet.

Age isn't something which particularly matters to me, the main side effects of it are not the impact on me but on others, I'm well aware that it's unlikely I will be over 50 years old and have both or even one of my parents still alive, I'm gravely aware that my brother is both older than me and enjoys recreational drug use, his partner while older again also has a family history of degenerative cognitive defects in later life, with almost 100% of the female members of the family succumbing to them in relative youth, haha, it also reminds me that my cunt/ex wife is 6 years younger than me and will likely live to see a Star Wars movie + Stand alone film which I will not get to experience, unless Karma actually exists and she is consumed by a goat at some stage in her life.

But yeah.... how has my age impacted me? People trust me slightly more now when it comes to repairing PC's than they did when I was a little brat teen that is for sure, now I've got a face which suggests I'll fix it... rather than I'll steal it to download porn.... even though under the face I will still use it to download porn if my own laptop is out of power and something is required!

....

My age also impacts some of the way I refer to things as the previous paragraph should not have the term download in it, that is a throw back to being alive in the 80s/90s when downloading was a thing and the concept of streaming 1080p porn was just a pipe dream of the future... fuck it, I remember downloading porn... pictures...

 

That reminds me that my half-brother and sister had two dead parents before they were even 10 years old.



I already feel like I'm getting old despite turning 20 this year. The reason being that most of the games I play, music I listen to and movies I watch are decades old. The media I consume stops at around the mid-2000s mostly.

I can barely put my legs over my head anymore.

When you mention something you thought was general knowledge to someone younger than you and they say "What's that?"



Hmm, pie.

When your balls reach your knee.

When you talk to younger people that dont know what a CD player is. Don't even get me started on cassette tapes lol. Vinyl records is making a random comeback so young kids kind of know what that is.
