damn I'm old
 
Is there anything that really makes you realize how old you've become/how much time has passed since childhood, or what are those things?

Poki September 14th, 2015 8:44 AM

My age isn't on the clock. :(

Caite-chan September 14th, 2015 8:52 AM

When kids now a days say their first Pokemon game was from Gen 4 and up when most of us older kids started from the beginning.

I have to pay bills

starseed galaxy auticorn September 14th, 2015 9:09 AM

Just turning older is enough for me to realize I'm old... I'm turning 27 this October. :(

Sheep September 14th, 2015 9:09 AM

Just knowing that next year I'll officially be in my mid-20s. Oh god. Otherwise I still feel 16. :p

Yukari September 14th, 2015 9:17 AM

I'm 16 so clearly I shouldn't be feeling old yet.

Yet.

People younger than I am claiming they're old.


Hikamaru September 14th, 2015 9:25 AM

I'll be 23 in a couple of weeks, and I feel like so much has gone by way too fast. So yeah you could say I definitely feel old because I literally grew up in the internet age and so much has advanced in just a few years.

Sydian September 14th, 2015 9:34 AM

I have a favorite stove top and I got excited about buying salt and pepper shakers once. Salt and pepper shakers.

Shining Raichu September 14th, 2015 9:36 AM

The fact that I have to accept IDs at work for people born in 1997.

Kotone September 14th, 2015 9:45 AM

the fact that i enjoy doing the laundry.
i feel old.

esperance September 14th, 2015 10:16 AM

When I talk to people about ROM hacking and I realize that something that feels "new" to me actually happened two years ago... :|

Bounsweet September 14th, 2015 10:21 AM

The fact that I've been a legal adult for 4 full years now, and there are people who have started and finished high school in that time frame.

Also the fact that there are people born in 2000 and later who are on the Internet is still something I'm getting used to lol.

This! Hahahha. Here I am, feeling fresh and as young as ever, and people who have hardly even passed 20 complain about their age. Like wuuuut. Stahp.

Sylphiel September 14th, 2015 10:43 AM

Even just recently I had a moment where I realized that some years I still feel like were "almost just like yesterday" are actually years that were in the last damn decade. As in, almost a decade ago or so. Wha. But. But how.
Where did the time go?

And yeah, every time someone younger than me complains about how old they are, I'm always just like "what". Whaaaat.

Dter ic September 14th, 2015 11:27 AM

I used to have things I wanted when either Christmas or my birthday comes up. Now I really have no idea what I want if I get asked.

Sonata September 14th, 2015 11:39 AM

Whenever the celebration for a game or movie comes up and it's the 10th or 15th anniversary and I remember watching/playing it for weeks as if it were just the other day it just clicks in my mind and I'm just sitting there like 'Shit. I'm fuckin old.'

Cherrim September 14th, 2015 3:10 PM

The other day was the PC anniversary on this account (although I've been here about a year longer) and I realized... as of this year? I've officially been a member of PC for more than half my life. Literally half of my life has gone by with this one specific Pokémon forum having an influence on it almost every single day. (I don't visit every day anymore but rarely a day goes by when I don't interact with someone from it in some way, be it on twitter, text, whatever.)

I guess it's probably not a big deal to younger people because I guess you could have signed up at age 8 or something and then hit the halfway mark at just 16 but I signed up at age 13 so it feels like a huge deal to me. I've thought about it a lot in the last week, lol.

Sothis September 14th, 2015 4:22 PM

The fact that there's people 10+ years younger using the net and I actively talk to them. (Like on a forum)

Meganium September 14th, 2015 8:33 PM

What made me feel old was listening to these on the radio or on the TV:

"_______________ is celebrating their 25th anniversary! Congratulations!"

...I'm turning 25 in November.

Also, songs made in the early 2000's turned 10 or even 15 years old...

Palamon September 14th, 2015 8:36 PM

That I'm older than all my favorite anime characters. I'm serious on this one. I'm going to be 19 in three months, and damn, I already feel old.

Another thing that makes me feel old? That I'm out of school. :(

Wicked3DS September 14th, 2015 8:44 PM

~Pokémon~

Honest'y, it's being as old and older than NFL players. Seeing that a guy is now at his 4th year in the league and is less than 2 months older than me is pretty crazy for me (note that in the NFL you can't play until you are 21 years old, unlike most other professional sports where it's usually 18 or sometimes as young as 16).

Brendino September 14th, 2015 9:45 PM

^ Sports gets me all the time with this, hockey especially. I could be watching a game and see a really talented player out there, and then realize that he's 5 years younger than I am.

I can also remember doing things in elementary school like it was yesterday... and then I remember not only was I last in elementary 12 years ago, but the school I went to doesn't even exist any more.

Sammi September 21st, 2015 3:55 PM

A few Christmases ago I asked for pots and pans... I'm debating doing it again if my grandma asks what I want. My pots are all crappy! Last year she gave me socks and a $50 Target gift card that went towards a new vacuum.

My little brother is legal drinking age in 2 months. And I'm in the US, so he's turning 21, not 18. He's been out of high school for a few years now. What?

Apparently Pokemon's 20th anniversary is coming up. I've been playing since I was 10, iirc. So a good 16 years.

Oh yeah and I've been on PC 10 years now. I knew some of you when I was a teen and now you're all adults too doing adult things. Yeah...

And I know I'm not even old in the grand scheme of things. :|

Astinus September 21st, 2015 5:00 PM

I was in work the other night and happened to glance at a box of Toy Story fruit snacks. The box said "Celebrating Toy Story's 20th Anniversary!" I just stared at the box because I can remember asking for a Toy Story cake for my 8th birthday and no one knowing who Woody was because the movie was so new.

Same here, but with baseball. When I look up a player's stats, I'm always so amazed that I was in school by the time that they were born.
