Did (do) you feel sad when you were about to turn 30?

[DrunkAss]

I had this ex long ago who was so afraid of turning 30 (we were both in our mid-20s). Her paranoia sort of spread to me. She watched people in her life like family members turn boring at that age, get married, become tired-looking and routine. I don't know if I'm the exception or if I was determined to be one, but I had my best years in my early-mid 30s. 35 was da bomb. It was getting a tad old for night clubs but I shifted more to traveling, hanging out at each other's houses, being able to open up more freely with people. You know what's shit? 40. At least if you turn 40 during COVID-19, 40 is gonna be shit.

It depends on one's level of success and comfort level in their lives.

I just turned 34 three weeks ago and it was the most depressing day ever. I bought a cake for myself and went down to the local bar to do the thing where people throw their own birthday party for strangers, only no one was there and I forgot I live in a city of assholes (the other foreigners are, at least), so it just ended up being me cutting the cake and eating it with the male and female bartender pseudo-friends I have here.

To add insult to injury and rub salt in the wound, the female bartender had her 25th birthday literally two weeks later and it was a big bash with tons of people having fun and partying; very few of them being people she actually knew. I can't tell whether it's me who sucks, this town, or a combination of both. But yeah, I've been old for seven years now and I hate it.

If you are sad about turning 30, imagine when you turn 40 or 50 and so on. Age is just a number. We all gonna die someday. Either we make the best of it, or be sad and miserable about something insignificant as your age number.

I’m not 30 yet but, There is a quote i wanna share.

[Anonymous]

For me, 40 was a bit sad. Especially with this year being so crappy anyway. But 40 feels old. Like I'm constantly hurting. I ache constantly, I don't sleep well. I'm not where I want with my career, and my love life has stalled out completely, though it's been that way for a long time. Being cooped up alone doesn't help my social life, so it just feels like 40 hit me in the ass HARD, though life has been rough overall anyway.

Stuck at an age where most 20 somethings would view me as incredibly old, and I'm probably not, but I feel really old. And too old for nothing to be working right for me. I should be established. At 30, it was sort of more ok to be in a rough patch. It wasn't completely unheard of to have job failures and have to restart a career. But 40... wow.

People in their 30s are young these days. I've seen so many people in their 30s that I mistake to be in their mid-20s. I do however fear aging when my body naturally degrades. I've struggled with obesity and mental illness throughout my life and I've already missed out on the whole teen and college experience, I sometimes feel like I've missed out on life.

[HOAAH]

Maybe yes. I ran away for 3 days at a hotel. I hated my life. I don't even know why. I just felt like i was supposed to be perfect and have everything but i didn't feel like i was.

[Anonymous]

yes, mainly because i feel i didn't experience enough in my 20s in terms of dating/social life, and at the same time, it gets me mad because, it reminds me, it seems that letting life pass you by or wasting years of your life, is deemed unmasculine by the world, life, society, being a guy, i'm expected to be in control of my life or my destiny

[sheikalana]

The only reason why I was a bit sad it's because I couldn't have a proper celebration due to covid-19 lol.

[Unit1]

Man, I was sad and depressed on my 26. th birthday 8 days ago. I had them birthday blues.

I don't even wanna think about 30. I have so much to accomplish and I'm already feeling old.

[Levin]

You're 30 in about 4 years? Well boo hoo, I'm 35 now.

Just make the most of your life and don't worry about your age. We're all going to die...

[SaraSmithishere]

No. I'm 29 now and I'll be 30 in January. Honestly, the thing that makes me the saddest is knowing that my parents are getting older and are closer to death.

[zagor]

I was very happy to turn 30 because it meant I was leaving my late 20's which were a major clusterfuck...

[Tyrael]

I used to think about turning 30, then it just snuck up on me and before I knew it I was 30. It's not that big a deal tbh, though I feel like I should've done a lot more with my life by now.

[jamesgoldman]

30 will be a good year for me as it's a Glenfiddich birthday

[Likes2drive]

Not really, it was so long ago but I started a family then

[Sakura-san]

No, I still have 9 years to turn 30 but I’m sure when that time comes I will accomplished a lot of things and my kids will turn into teens and It will be a total new chapter in my life.

[Anonymous]
