Are you content with the age you're at?

[Simslover92]

I'm 31. But sometimes hate that I'm 31 because I'm 9 years away from 40. But then I can't wait to be 32 because it's my lucky number and I think great things are going to happen for me at 32. Plus I think 2024 is going to be a great year for me in general. I can just feel it.

So I'm sort of content with being 31 but there are moments where I'm scared about getting older.

How about you? Are you happy with the age you're at? Are you nervous about getting older?

[menina]

Sometimes I wish I was younger so I could do everything I didn't do when I was in my 20's.

But at the same time I'm happy for being 31. I had a friend who passed away when we were 6. I always wonder how her life would have turned out to be. Sadly, she will never be 31. So I'm thankful for being alive, despite everything I went through.

I'm not scared of getting old, I'm scared of not having time to make my dreams come true. I'm also scared of loneliness. I don't want to get old without having friends or family.

[Simslover92]

Omg I had a friend too that passed away at a young age. I want to say she was only 7 or 8 and I too always wonder how her life would have turned out to be for her. It makes me thankful too. I also wish I could be younger sometimes so I could do everything I didn't get to do in my 20s. But the good thing is we're still young and have time to do what we can now. You have time to make your dreams come true and so do I! :)

[menina]

Really? I can't believe it! 😦😦😦 I'm sorry for your loss. It's sad that we have this in common.

"But the good thing is we're still young and have time to do what we can now. You have time to make your dreams come true and so do I!" - You're absolutely right! 😊

[Simslover92]

I'm sorry for your loss as well! It is indeed sad we have that in common.

[menina]

Thank you. May our friends rest in peace.

[Simslover92]

Thank you as well and yes indeed. 🙏

[menina]

Thank you for the MHO. :)

[Simslover92]

You're welcome!

[CrimsonAngel09]

Are you happy with the age you're at?

Definitely not, started finding silver hairs at 29 years old. For me it's a reminder that I'm running out of time. I don't look forward to being in my 40s either.

Are you nervous about getting older?

Hell yeah. Too bad I couldn't stay in my early 20s forever.

[Simslover92]

Haha yeah I definitely agree with you on that. If there were a time machine I would definitely go back to my early 20s! Those were the best years of my life.

[Apple1996]

Yeah I'm getting more happy the older that I get. My early adulthood years sucked. I felt really lost and depressed. It finally feels like I'm stepping towards finding myself

[Simslover92]

That's awesome! Glad you feel like you are stepping towards finding yourself!

[Anonymous]

Don’t be scared about getting older there’s nothing wrong with aging! I like the positive attitude you have and the optimism you hold about the future. I hope to adopt that.

I am 21 and I am not nervous about anything in regards to my age, but obviously at this age many people have had romantic exploits and blossoming friendships etc. and I have had none of those things… so comparison does get me down because I am a late bloomer. Also I really struggle with my mental health and have depression and anxiety, and that feels like a prison that is stealing time from me, because I can never just feel free and I feel like I can’t just live.
Also I’m a very cynical person currently so I don’t value my own existence and I am very apathetic about current affairs and future prospects. Aging doesn’t bother me, but I do sometimes worry about a potential decline in my health although I know it’s natural.

All in all, I hope to get better mentally, emotionally, physically, and just get a grip on things as I age, but the age I am at doesn’t necessarily scare me.

[Simslover92]

That's good that it doesn't scare you and at your age it definitely shouldn't scare you. You are young and have so much time to explore romantic exploits and blossoming friendships, etc. Don't let your depression and anxiety stop you from living life like it did me. I went through a lot of my 20s deeply depressed and it kept me from experiencing the things that a lot of people in their 20s experience. You will get better mentally emotionally physically! I hope for nothing but the best for you and I hope that you start living life soon because your youth does go by fast.

[Potteplante]

I've waisted a lot of my years on absolute nonsense - partying, drugs, alcohol, worrying about things I can't control and I'm not about to waste more worrying about things I've no control over. I'm content with my life and where I'm at, my health is good - I hopefully see more good years ahead of me than I've already lived. As long as my life improved with age - I'm fine with again, it's better than the other option.

[Sour-rose]

Yeah. I'm ____ and only thing that makes it delicious is because the time i spent realizing how to be truly happy instead of keeping up with a lie. Of course, when I was younger, my age was still a baby age. But now I'm at the point in my life where My age has gotten me wisdom and revelation.

[Pacquet]

Honestly, the fact that everyone feels nervous about their age gives me comfort in a weird way like “oh, we’re all feeling this?”. Also I feel like no one really cares that much especially the older you get. I say if you feel youthful that’s all that matters as cheesy as it sounds but I think it’s just comes down to just taking good care of your health.

[Simslover92]

That's true. It does boil down to just taking good care of your health and you will feel good and youthful.

[Static_In_The_Attic]

Like wine some people get better with age & knock on wood I’m one of those people. As for me I’m quite content with my age & the only way to move is forward & that is something I had to except.

[ProbablyClueless]

I guess. It's not like I have much choice in the matter. I'm happier and feel better now than I did 10 years ago; at this same point in my twenties.

I think I've made good use of my time so far.

[Drooogie4]

Yes.

I love getting older honestly. I'm a month away from 28 and easily the most confident and secure I've ever been.

[Simslover92]

That's good for you! I wish I had been the most confident and secure at 27/28 but I wasn't.

[Fireguy17]

here is the thing, if you live long enough you get old.
That is just the way it is.
There is nothing you can do about it so embrace each day, it is marvelous gift.
At some point we all will run out of tomorrows.

[Mansearching]

Yes I'm content. But I feel every bit of my age... lol

Am I happy where im at with my age no. But that's the hand i was delt and have to just deal with it.

[Simslover92]

Very true.

[sunflower00]

I’m happy with being 22. I’m scared of getting older but I know it’s a blessing so…bring it on!

[Simslover92]

Indeed it is!

[Danny_dan92]

We’re the same age


(High five)




Yeah, and I’m close to death more than the past 30 years

[Simslover92]

(High five)

And yeah if we're lucky it'll be 50 to 60 more years before that happens.

[Danny_dan92]

Unless some freak accident happens 🤣🤣

[Simslover92]

Lol yep which is why I said if we're lucky lol 🤣🤣

[Danny_dan92]

If I get unlucky, it’s ok. I lived a good life 😂

[Simslover92]

Well that makes one of us lol

[Danny_dan92]

Oh come on now, lol can’t look at life from the glass half empty perspective

[Simslover92]

I try not to but I'm a bit of a pessimist lol

[Danny_dan92]

What made you a pessimist? 💀

[Simslover92]

A lot of deaths have happened in my life. One of my good friends died when we were just 24. My aunt who was only 24 died when I was only 17. My best friend in grade school died when we were only 7. So yeah life hasn't exactly treated me nicely. So I tend to look at life pessimistically because of that.

[Danny_dan92]

People come and go tho. And I have a feeling because of these unfortunate losses you’ve grown to fear death. You don’t know when it’s gonna knock on your door.

At least from a psychological perspective it makes sense. You’ve seen so many people you cared about die so young you don’t know when it’s gonna happen to you.

Also, you have surpassing guilt. You feel sad that you’ve lived longer than those you mentioned

[Simslover92]

People do come and go but I just never expected them all to die so young. And you're right I have grown to fear death because of what happened. And yes I do feel guilty. Sometimes I wonder why it wasn't me. It could have easily been me so many times.

I've escaped death quite a few times. I was in a bad car accident and could have died. I also could have died from alcohol poisoning when I was deep in depression and I've always wondered why I didn't die those times.

It's made me even more pessimistic about life even though I know I should feel the opposite. 🤷‍♀️

[Danny_dan92]

You shouldn’t feel sad. I’m not religious but I can say that everything happens for a reason. In a weird way, so I think you haven’t died for a reason, that being said you should look forward to your future

[Simslover92]

I try not to and it indeed does happen for a reason and I try to look to the future positively as possible. I am actually lately hopeful for next year. I have a good feeling about it.

[Danny_dan92]

There you go!!! 😊 that’s the right way to think

[sundayflower]

16, i turn 17 in October tho. i wanna get older bc i actually want to experience life but at the same time im scared of being an adult lol

[Simslover92]

Trust me when I say you have plenty of time before you'll be an actual adult. Adulthood really doesn't start until after college. From 18-22, if you go off to college that is, it's smooth sailing. Yes you will have a bit more responsibility but not nearly as much as once you graduate college. So you have plenty of time before you have to start worrying about the real world where you have to worry about bills and such. Right now just focus on being a kid and having fun! Because trust me when the party's over, it's hell from there on out.

[AviatorTom]

What choice do I have? ... I can't change my age. I learn to live with it.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Yep. 26 has been the craziest age of my life.

[Anonymous]

No I'm 22 and I wish I were 65.. perfect age. Can still do the decent stuff but can also have good excuses not doing stuff like being up late

[Simslover92]

Wow you're the first person I've ever heard say that they wish they were 65 especially at your age.

[Opinion Owner]

Yup im an old soul😭.. my best friend says he is 85 (he is 22 too)😂 we both want to be old

[Simslover92]

I'm an old soul too but I think I'm cool with being the age that I am now and sometimes wish I could be younger again. Being old is not fun. I think you'll find out being an adult is not all it's cracked up to be at 25 and once you reach 30 it really goes downhill. The only great thing about being really old like 65 is retirement in my opinion.

[Opinion Owner]

Yeah.. why does it go down hill at 30?

[Simslover92]

That's when more bills start to stack up on you, joints start to hurt... hell everything starts to hurt. Your looks go down as well. You're not as youthful looking as you are in your 20s. You may still look attractive but not like you did in your 20s. That's why they say try your best to hold on to your youth as much as possible and cherish your 20s.

[Opinion Owner]

Im already happy and ugly 😂 so my looks can't be much worse..

But I get what you mean. Do you have a family?

[Simslover92]

I'm sure you're not ugly. And no I don't have a family yet. Just a boyfriend for now.

[Opinion Owner]

Oh okay. Well why not try to get a family with him if thats what you want?:).. or no?

Thank you! Its all subjective but I dont think I am lol

[Simslover92]

I do but he doesn't want a family right now sadly. I'm waiting on him to be ready for it.

And I bet you are a cute girl you just probably haven't applied yourself in your looks. I thought I was ugly too until I went to college and discovered the right clothes to wear and doing my hair a certain way and makeup. But even without makeup I discovered I wasn't a plain Jane like I thought I was. I just had to apply myself. Guys started noticing me when I did that.

[Opinion Owner]

Oh I see thank you!

And okay just dont waste your time if he never wants it!:)

[Simslover92]

Thanks! I certainly won't. I'm giving him a few years to figure it out. I don't have that long after all.

[Opinion Owner]

👍🏻👍🏻

[4ngelic]

kinda but i wish i was a bit younger. like i'm 22 but if i could be 19 again..

[Grovermint]

Sometimes, I'm not. But, that's only when I compare my life to others or what I dreamed of for most of my life.

[genericname85]

sure. cause what is "not being content with it" gonna do for me? nothing. so no point in that.

[scooogy]

You name it. God knows how steady others' lives are, but women 8 years younger than me have become mothers already. Whilst all I did was graduate at college...

[exitseven]

No, I am getting old and every day it seems like it gets a little worse.

[clampfan101]

No because the last 10ish years of my life have felt like a waste. I’d let fate pick randomly between a refund or just ending here…

[CubaPirate]

Sure thing I'm so glad I got there too. Things in the world don't look great for the under 30s these days

[Simslover92]

Yeah that's true. Some days I'm glad that I'm not that age espeically with whats going on in the world these days but some days I do wish I could go back and relive my 20s. Just not being in my 20s in this day and age but back in the 2010s.

[LiamJHayden]

Considering that the alternative is being dead, yes.

[JohnK123]

Nervous about 18 :) what’s gonna make 2024 so great for u?

[Simslover92]

Well hopefully I'll be living with my boyfriend in 2024 or at least living closer to him where we will see each other more often. And I hopefully will have a higher paying job with the move.

[Simslover92]

You shouldn't be nervous by the way

[Kingofkings1992]

I don’t really have a choice in the matter do I? Getting older scared me in my early twenties, not really anymore. Life tends to get better as you get older.

[SoJust]

Yeah I'm happy is year , I say these the old just numerical

[Likes2drive]

I guess but I rather be your age, hopefully I stay healthy for a long time still

[eagle1951]

i'm cool with my age, anyway what choice do I have

[Simslover92]

That's true. I guess I have to be too.

[eagle1951]

We all have to play to hand we have.

[Beautyblossom2]

I feel so old👵🏼😔
I'm 20 already

[Simslover92]

You shouldn't. 20 is a great age to be. You are so young right now. Be glad you have 10 years before you're 30. It goes downhill in your 30s.

[Beautyblossom2]

Thank you😊 same to you.. Sure you're around 30.. but still you aren't 45 yet💕 @Simslover92

[Simslover92]

That's true. Thanks also! I have about 14 years left! I'm going to make every year count before I get to that age. 💕

[Averageguy69420]

I wish I was 25 again less back issues

[Bricealan]

Who isn't nervous about aging?

[Simslover92]

Haha that's so true. We all are.

[Nikki1989]

Yes, life just keeps getting better.

[gothbxtch]

sometimes i wish i was younger

[Simslover92]

Me too!

[gothbxtch]

wooo haha

[Mynameisbobby]

I'm happy being 19 I guess 😆 in college

[Simslover92]

Oh how I would love to be your age again! College was awesome! Have fun! :)

[Mynameisbobby]

Thanks 👍

[Drumlin2001]

Content or not, there's no way to change it

[BLP11520]

How much time do you have?

[Simslover92]

Until I'm 32?

[BLP11520]

Ok I am 63 and not happy about it

[Simslover92]

I'm sorry you're not happy about it. That really sucks.

[OddBeMe]

I try not to worry about things I can’t control.

[Jerre]

Very happy with my age.

[Anonymous]

my life is a fucking disaster so no

[Simslover92]

I'm sorry. 😞 sometimes I feel that way myself.

[Opinion Owner]

my friend has stage 4 my living situation is unstable i got mice running around my apartment kids screaming at the playground at their school next to my apartment the woman i love hasn't accepted my invite request for dm after 3 days of constantly asking her i got surgery on the 15th to remove possibly a tumor from my bladder and if something happens to my roommate then i'll be living in the street and homeless

[Simslover92]

Oh wow then I am tremendously sorry. That is horrible what you are going through. I really hope things improve in your life.

[Opinion Owner]

no actually things will get worse i was told he has a year at the most now less few more months possibly and i'll be left on the street homeless, the woman i love still won't accept the invite request on instagram for direct messaging after they're forcing people to use that invite request nonsense for direct messaging, still have mice running around my apartment bad electrical wiring and other things wrong with this place, and the doctors aren't sure if my tumor on my bladder is malignant or benign hence the biopsy on the 15th

[Simslover92]

Again I'm so very sorry. I don't know if you believe in religion but I do and I will be praying for you even if you don't believe in it.

[Opinion Owner]

getting an apartment on my own is out of the question because the rent in my state is tremendously expensive and they have this weird stipulation that applicants need to make 3x the rental asking price and when i ask the property managers if they make 3x what they're asking for in rent i get blocked because they don't and they know they don't but have the nerve to expect applicants to

[Simslover92]

What state you live in? That's really unfortunate 😕

[Opinion Owner]

northeast below new york about 100+ miles below ny

[Simslover92]

Oh yeah well that's rough. Wish you had the means to move to another state where the cost of living is much cheaper. Again I hope things improve for you. I know it doesn't look that way now but things can improve for you. My heart goes out to you and your friend. 💕

[Opinion Owner]

if i had the money i wouldn't be here but houses are way to expensive and most of my money is tied up in assets i can't touch for 5-30 years

[Anonymous]

20, I feel old as fuck.

[Simslover92]

You're not. Trust me.

[Anonymous]

Not really but it's outside my control

[Anonymous]

I guees I am but even if I am 36 I feel like 22

[LavLavLuv]

Eh sure

[msc545]

No choice.
