I am 30 but I look and feel 25

oh well, maybe I don't feel it all the time but I do look it

 

[Sub-Zero]

At 16 I acted like I was 25. I didn't party, I helped my family as my dad had lost his job. I looked after my Brother and Sister, and while I had fun with my friends not all of them understood why I didn't go out every weekend, but instead worked every weekend.

At 18 I was a computer geek, and got hired on at a large corparation. I started college, but I got tired of telling my professors the answers to questions they didn't know, so I quit for a while. I started my first 401k and worked around nothing but 40 year old execs...I felt like 30. I had big time issues relating to anyone my own age, as they did me.

At 21 I bought my first house, still worked around 40 year old execs, but had been promoted and had a 40 year old and a 50 year old working under me. The few college friends I did have, couldn't understand why I could just drop what I was doing and come over for a party. I felt like I was forty.

At 24 I quit and got a better job, still surrounded by people older than my self. I worried about 1 thing my retirement package, you would have thought I was only a few years away from retirement. That was pretty much my only focus.

At 27 (that is my age now) I'm married have two dogs and my friends are all about my age. They are all out of college and are starting to understand how I acted when I did. They are all starting to settle down and we all relate much better now.

So while I don't understand what you are going thought directly, I kind of do only in reverse.

<brag> i have no friends either

Definately

You know it's funny, up to very recently I lived my life for today, fuck responsability, fuck consequences, and fuck "long term effects". What does SoreArms want to do today, what's going to make him happy or his life feel better today. Live fast, die young, leave a good looking corpse. Now I seem to think about tomorrow much, much more. Bills, health, work, etc.....

I've watched the entire battle between SoreArms v1.0 and SoreArms v2.0 begin, and the fight that's ensued... it's been a long war... I wondered often who'd be the victor.

Bor, just go to clubs where the people are older. I think they're called Jazz clubs.

even at 33, i still look mid-late 20's......but i certainly don't feel as good as i did at those ages.......the body slows down definitely, no matter how much fitness work you do and it takes longer to recover from physical and mental exertion

 

[foreigngirl]

staying home on Friday or Saturday night was a rare ocasion and definately qualified as a catastrophe, now I seem to enjoy staying home more than I do going out. Well, I atleast don't enjoy going out for the sake of going out anymore.

yeah, thats the thing that scares me. Thinking that I am getting old cause I feel that way and that probably I am turning into a boring person because of it

26 here don't notice myself looking older at all yet knock on woodin.

26 and I can honestly say I have yet to have any moment of reflection on my age/development other than my maturity level. I'm not big into self analysis, especially if it's something I have no control over. Plus I'm fat

 

[Smurfy]

Id say that for most, 26 would be far to early yet to start seeing the effects of the aging process.
