    Or do you feel young?

    How do you feel about your own age, in general? Does your "mental age" fit with your body?

    Do you think others typically guess your age correctly when they first see you? What about when they meet you online and don't see you?

    age thread, i suppose
     
    I'm 30 but often feel like I'm 40
     
    No, actually. I still feel pretty young, and I guess my mind, does, too because I still have dreams I'm in highschool.

    I don't feel 26, but I don't feel 16. Age is a number, and I feel young despite it all.
     
    I think I pretty much feel my age. I certainly feel like I'm a different species than teenagers sometimes, but my mind still regards people over 40 as "real adults". I don't feel bad about being in my 30s though. Sure, part of me wishes I had spent the upper half of my 20s more adventurously, but I can't change that now, all I can do is to go forward from where I am.

    I still get mistaken IRL for being in my mid 20s sometimes, which I'll keep taking as a compliment :> but no one would see me and think I was a teenager anymore, even though I'm short. I guess maybe lines are starting to show??

    Online, I actually have no idea what people typically guess I am. Mostly age might become noticeable when I realize we have different frame of references for things, but since I mostly interact internationally online that's kind of always the case regardless of age.
     
    I just found this site after not being on it for 12 years. Been so long. I used to lurk it for a long time, then made an account and rarely used it. But man this brings back memories!

    I'm too young to feel old right now. I mean, this website is actually older than I am.

    actually i take it back i feel old knowing there are people who were born after this website was made

    I feel young mentally, probably far too young in most people's opinion! I feel as though I still have so much ahead of me that I want to do.

    Physically, I am a living fossil, but even then I feel about 3 times my actual age these last couple of years ;(

    Welcome back!
     
    I'm pretty young physically. Ish. People guess the correct age most of the time (early to mid 20s) so I'm doing something right with my body. As for mentally I feel a tad bit older? These responsibilities and life experiences really forced me to grow up and mature, seeing the world in a new light. Had I not been through this path in life I'd be certain I'd be more naive and… silly.

    Physically young, yet older in mind. Or so I'd like to believe.
     
    To be honest, I don't feel old physically. I guess I still feel like a teen for the most part even though my teen years are far away in the past.
     
    Yes, kinda. Physically a bit, like people always give me some years more.
    Mentally, a bit too. Kinda always been the "too mature and serious child" and kinda carried on that path. I guess I just have fun in different ways though. I have an inner child spirit too sometimes but it comes out very very rarely. But I can fit quite well with people of my age.
     
    I actually don't feel old. I'm 27 now and sometimes time moves quickly overall I feel young. For me personally, I want to be happy whether I feel young or old. I am happy at the age I am at and happy for the time I have here. That being said I would like to be more healthy this year because I know when I get into my 30's, the decision I made in my 20's could play a factor.
