Do you like getting older?


Mostly yes. I am starting to notice a few downsides but it's still very minor so far. But the mental upsides are huge. I can't even compare myself to the person I was 5 years ago, let alone when I was a teenager. And I want to keep going in that development. I was slowed down in some areas and I really wanna change that because it will let me experience life more fully. But it might take another 5 years. A lot of things take time but it can also be so worth it when you finally get there.
With age you have the chance to achieve several of those big goals. Either getting rid of some bad things that were holding you back or building up something good that can get you ahead in life and you will be leveled up as a person and won't want to go back. Of course after a while you also start to lose things but I've been spared so far. I had a shoulder problem that scared me a bit but I've been going to physio therapy and I think it'll go away again. If I take it easy and don't push myself too hard I think I can stay healthy and fit for a long time still. I haven't had any serious long term health problems my whole life so I have a good situation to build from.
I do the older I get the more in tune I become there are some young people that don't have a clue they look at an age . I will use my e 46 as being old , when I was a teen I thought the same thing but NIW that I am older at at 46 I need to older people did I might have called them home when I was younger because I am in the same mindset same physical or better at 46 then I was when I was 21 or18 the only thing that has changed I mean is Maybe the wrinkles on my face LOL but the inside of me is still the inside of it has not changed what so ever a few years back a friend of mine i think was 35 at the time everything we would do he would say that he's old I was saying dude how can you say that I haven't even hit my Prime yet and I don't feel old I love for me I don't know if it's because I reached dirt bikes 3/4 of my life but I feel exactly the same way I did but I was in my 20s and 30s except for a little bit wiser that's about it
I think life actually get better with age. I have way more control over my career and my finances in my 40s than I ever did in my 20s. I also have a much better idea about which direction I want to go and what I want to do/be in life. I'm in a way better relationship now then the idiots I dated in my 20s. Believe it or not (despite what TV/movies may tell you) the sex is also a lot better. There are advantages to being younger, but I think the advantages of being older far outweigh the advantages of youth
Yes actually. The older I get the wiser and more mature I become.
I can also now start figuring out my life and becoming who I want to be.
I think one of the things I love most about growing older is that I can now start standing up for myself, not take peoples sht (people as in family, friends snd total strangers) and call people out or just cut people off, snd if other adults don’t like it then that’s a them problem.

Yeah actually I do or rather don’t mind.
Both my 5km and 10km times are better than when I was 25.
I accept my age but influence my fitness.
I have far more disposable income.
I have more qualifications
more balanced life experience to call on.
I have hit most of my goals in life.
@Sweetener_ I think some are a bit too touchy about the fact they are getting over the hill, and no longer spring chickens
😂😂😂
I wish I'd stop aging right now to be honest. 27 is perfect in my opinion. Ah well though. Old age will hit you faster than you realize. One day you'll look back and say "Where tf did my time go?" There's this weird concept that the older you get, the faster time seems to go by.
18+ is ancient? XD do you even realize how old people get? i'm 35 and to me, getting older did not yet manifest as a bad thing. i don't even notice it. the only thing that changes for me, that i grow more hair on my body, which incidentally some girls find really hot xD
I don't like it so much. The other day I felt a fart coming and in my room all alone so I let it go very freely. Then it wasn't just a fart. There was another thing there. So I ran to the toilet and it was too late.
Now I gotta be very conservative with my farts. Like let 10% out and see if nothing else coming. Then release additional 10%. So far so good. So I build up the confidence and try releasing like 30% fart. Then it is okay and then I release the rest. But I'm always ready to run to the toilet when I do the fart now because you never know.
Yes. I know plenty of people who died before my age. So I'm appreciating every candle I can blow out.
I don't think anyone really likes to get older, well much beyond a certain age that each individual likes, but then I would have missed seeing my daughters grow up, and for me to be there for them, there are many other reasons but that one is good
It's not about liking it... It's about accepting it and looking at the positives and not just the negatives
And realize it's not something to use to devalue or insult someone, Because someday the people that do that are also gonna be that old/ancient person... Don't know whatever happened to respect your elders... 🤷🏼♀️
It's called having a sense of humor, just because I joke with you doesn't mean I don't respect you.
And who said I was talking about you tho? I was talking in general because there are slot of younger users in this site that have been rude to the older users, calling them boomers, saying okay old man, etc.
I stopped enjoying getting older when I was like 15
If 18 and up is old then you don't stay young for very long. It's okay
If 18+ is old what ya gonna do when you join us? Then?
Don't know 🙈😂😂
Nah. I used to mosh in the foam pits. Now I do the shuffle at the senior center to get my boogie on. Pour a non-alcoholic apple juice out for all the old homies.
Ahah I’m a grandpa then. 18 is still a child to me.
No, you're right. I'm ancient. I remember when they were building the pyramids.
Aye, I'm past me best lass, past me best. Int no use for me anymore. Put me out me misery! I'm already one foot in t'grave!
If I didn't grow old, I'd be dead. So yep, happy to still be enveloped by this mortal coil.
The alternative is considerably worse.
In this present system, yes; when you're not long for this world, you are less likely to see it reach where it's headed. But ideally, no; I'd have liked to have been no older than age 30 or 40, forever...
18+ is old? I promise you 16-20 is a blur you won’t be thinking it’s old for long😭
Nope. But it's going to happen to you too. Women in my experience feel it a lot quicker.
some yes some no, my mom is almost 60 and is working overtime in a factory and she comes home with lots of energy yet. My uncle is a walmart greeter works part time and feels washed out after work he is 51
Well yea. Your genetics and how you take care of yourself play into it a lot, but the issue with women is lack of fitness. Lack of upper body strength, they will use their back for everything. Especially with kids. Carrying a kid around kills their backs because they can't handle the weight. I do what I can to make sure I preserve my body to last, It's the only one I got.
Exactly!
No. Lol
And yes, it was an obvious joke! And I laughed! 😄
I'd rather be in my twenties forever. So yes, but only to a point.
No, Especially since I have not found the love of my life yet.
OMG... I am 70+ I just enjoy hearing young-uns complain, there is Nothing New
Nope, especially since I'm very childish and my mind doesn't match my age.
Not at all. If you knew my situation, you'd really understand why.
Hahaha 18 is older. Sometimes children should be seen amd not heard isn't such a bad expression.
It has its benefits, but no. One day I'll start looking older aside from my grey hair and I'm not thrilled.
My back started to hurt like hell few days ago for no apparent reason.
I'm personally glad I'm not a young idiot who uses emojis as a way of making age discrimination seem cool.
It's not that deep...
A lot of people in their 50s get pushed out of the work force, and people are really mean to old people, so it's not really something to joke about.
let me stop you right there
not something anyone can change. you make the best of it and move on
When i was younger my back was hurting so much sometimes. Now it doesn't hurt at all.
It’s Great! Fantastic! Couldn’t get any better! I wish I could do it twice !
Are You Fucking Kidding Me? 😳😳😳😳😳
hum nah on this age you still young and you can do everything no parents bossin around hah
but eh getting old is part of life before dying so i dont think about it i just live and do what the heck i want.
I've been enjoying it!
No. I wish i'm 20 forever. I physically feel old already but i don't want to feel worse hehe.
The updates are really nice. And the time is getting closer for each year so... I guess.
Well 2 years and you will become old 😂
I guess 😂😂
You’ll be 18+ one day so I hope you enjoy being a 16 and 17 year old
Yes, I love getting older.
No, I want to stay 19 forever! ✨💕
I don't like it but it's better than the alternative.
Aregadiem leviosa... since we are being dramatic here.
Nope but it beats the alternative.
nahhh I still need to evolve mentally
It beats the alternative 🤣😉
You can call me gamps then.
No I do not, but everybody gets there eventually
Get over it kid!! 😜😂

I am as an old wine 🍷
