At what age are you officially old?

I’m turning 32 this year. I feel very old, probably because of struggling with MI. Other 32 year olds are only just starting to get married, have kids etc. But do I have energy after this age? I still love working though.

I’m roughly your age @anon1517417. I want to still be lifting weights and exercising moderately when I get old. I want to do freelance web design in the near future and it’s reasonable that I’ll still be sharp enough for it.

You’re doing just fine @anon67051439. You’re making what you are able to make out of the cards you’ve been dealt. One of the toughest things to be able to do, when you have severe negative symptoms like you do, is to accept where you are and then make the best of it, subject to limitations. What matters most is you’re keeping your mind full of new ideas and staying alert and that’s great! Baby steps…

Based on dating sites and if you’re gay, old is 25, as it’s all about sex on the social media available for this kinda dating like Grindr

I hate that a forum/blog site I used to go on as a teenager shut, but it was very dodgy, and I had a lot of creepy old men message me all the time trying to get me to meet them for sex.

I have also tried straight dating as well to see if I got on with that, and it was also a disaster for me because conversations with people just died and went no where. Such a waste
