Biology says that I am 53 but I feel like 25? What age do you feel?

Question

For some reason I feel like I felt when I was 25. What is going on?

NoDecision · Accepted Answer

I feel like I'm 40. I guess I'm growing old before my time.

Yesterday when I was young
The taste of life was sweet as rain upon my tongue
I teased at life as if it were a foolish game
The way the evening breeze may tease a candle flame
The thousand dreams I dreamed, the splendid things I planned
I always built alas on weak and shifting sand
I lived by night and shunned the naked light of the day
And only now I see how the years ran away

Yesterday when I was young
So many drinking songs were waiting to be sung
So many wayward pleasures lay in store for me
And so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see
I ran so fast that time and youth at last ran out
I never stopped to think what life was all about
And every conversation I can now recall
Concerned itself with me and nothing else at all

Yesterday the moon was blue
And every crazy day brought something new to do
I used my magic age as if it were a wand
And never saw the waste and emptiness beyond
The game of love I played with arrogance and pride
And every flame I lit too quickly quickly died
The friends I made all seemed somehow to drift away
And only I am left on stage to end the play
There are so many songs in me that won't be sung
I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue
The time has come for me to pay for
Yesterday when I was young...

There's NO damn way you're 53, what are you? A FUGGING VAMPIRE? YOU LOOK YOUNGER THAN FEW OF MY CLASSMATES.

Like how are you 53. There's no way you're 53, stop capping ma'am. And if you're 53, THEN I'M A SPERM.

WHERE ARE YOUR LIFE HACKS AND SKIN CARE TIPS AT?

Hand me that damn magical potion you drink before sleeping every night to contain your youth.

And I'm not even kidding. Like how is this humanely possible? I know you said you feel 25 but I'm absolutely flabbergasted by how you also look 25 or maybe even younger.

I'm 17 and I feel like 17 only, slightly mature but very stupid at the same time. And I think I look 20 or somewhere between 20-23 because I gained a lot of weight due to high school stress. If I work out and take care of myself I'll probably look my age.

Similar here. I'm 59. No muscle loss. I'm about 7-8 pounds heavier than the day I graduated university almost 40 years ago. I still run 7-13 miles. I still lift, ski, mountain bike, backpack, climb mountains, swim. I have no aches and pains. I still run up stairs 2 at a time. My resting heartrate is about 54. Low enough that a new nurse asked if that's normal for me at a recent annual physical exam. My annual blood tests come back with perfect cholesterol (LDL 80, HDL 60 , triglycerides, etc.)

I honestly don't "feel" much different than I did in my 20's. Even though my chronological age is 59, my doctor says my biological age is more like 40. Why? I don't know for sure. Lifestyle? Genetics?

But what sucks about it is everyone around me is aging much faster. There hasn't been anyone to ski, backpack, or ride with for a couple of decades. All my friends look older and act older. It's one reason I end up dating women in their 20's to 40's. They can still do stuff, LOL.

I've been feeling like a 21 year old female blonde with the curves in all the right places ever since puberty.

Come to think of it, I've always felt like a 21 year old blonde with the curves in all the right places, even before puberty!

I can dream, perhaps one day!

Massageman · Answer

I feel about ten years younger than my age, but my knees feel about ten years older.

SereneScribe3 · Answer

Several billion years old. I feel I've been around since the Bing Bang, watching the universe unfold. I have witnessed countless historical and cosmic events including dinosaurs' extinction (they left in protest over bad weather), noah's flood, the building of the pyramid, the Great plague of London and the birth of the Internet. I'm as timeless as earth. It's hard to explain but my spirit feels both ancient and young at the same time; it transcends time, yet somehow it's been trapped in this squishy casing.

@cherrylove007 biology says i'm 41yr old. by my mind and personality says i'm 28yr old

NordicInScandinavia · Answer

Sometimes I feel like a itty bitty kid - other times I feel like I've a foot in my grave, so I'm soon 35 in years but how old I feel depends on the day (& sometimes activity/situations).

Amy_Mi · Answer

Chronological age is just a number, energy, mindset, and vitality define how you feel far more than the calendar.

Feeling 25 at 53 reflects your curiosity, passion, and engagement with life.

True age is measured in perspective, resilience, and enthusiasm, not digits.

Purpleronnie · Answer

I’ve been told I look younger than my years , and that I have wisdom beyond my years. I commonly feel older than my years when I look at and listen to the relative youth that surrounds me but young spirited when I think of all the things I have yet to do.

Genie23 · Answer

To be honest, how old I feel really depends on the day. Some days.. feel like I'm in my early 20s. Sometimes, I feel like I'm in my 80s.. and once in a while I feel like a kid, lol

jazzy34 · Answer

Do you take care of yourself (i. e. exercise regularly, eat well, etc)? If so, that's probably why. Personally, I think that's great! Embrace it! :)

Bricealan · Answer

Kori1236 · Answer

I feel like I’m 70 but that’s because I work too much, don’t sleep nearly enough, and don’t eat/exercise enough. Im 32. In general when I do get to manage to take a break and sleep enough I feel like I’m in my 20s

NobodyXox · Answer

When I introduce myself I want to say 21 automatically, I feel like I'm missing about 2 years because of the pandemic. It felt like life stood still.
It takes me a while to remember that I'm actually 23.

Well mentally I feel like late teens/early 20s.. Like I'm still finding my place in the world.. Physically, I probably feel as a 32 year old should.. Maybe not as springy as a 20 year old, but still full of vigor and energy..

Kabluie · Answer

I look way younger than my age, good skincare regime helps so that's a part of feeling a generation younger. I have a lot of features from my mom, no one believed she was 50 when I was younger.
