Do you feel OLD?

I really need to get some groceries but my back hurts when I walk there. I’ve been sedentary for quite awhile. It’s dawn here and within the hour I’m taking a walk. Yesterday I slept straight through the day dreaming. I couldn’t sleep last night though I got into bed and tried. I’ve had a med change recently. I didn’t practice guitar or mandolin yesterday. That was a first for a long time, I’ve been committed but when you wake at seven p.m. it’s a different thing. Today I’m walking to the pharmacy and a tiny grocery store nearby for cheese and eggs. And I’m practicing guitar and mandolin. I’ve got a new guitar book coming in the mail, it’s a blues book! Yes, I feel older than my age says I am. When I go out in public old people know it too.

I hope you feel better. I don’t feel old. I feel good. However, I’m going to be 45 this month and think it sounds old.

I do feel older than 55 physically. Mentally I feel about the right age. When I was younger I felt perpetually stuck in my teens. I thought grow up already, learn, learn. And luckily I did learn and matured.

I feel much older than 52. Abilify has given me stiff muscles.

I’m 63 and am old. My back hurts because I have osteoarthritis, but you have to get up and move around or it gets worse.

I feel old today because I busted my tail yesterday. At 47 with multiple health conditions I need time to recover.

I’m 57 but I don’t feel it at all, probably because I 'm a goofy bastid who doesn’t take much seriously. I’ve been blessed with no major illnesses and I can get along pretty darn well, thankfully. I’m guessing a lot of it is state of mind for me, and I haven’t decided to be old yet.

I did a bunch of yardwork yesterday and my muscles are definitely feeling it today. I aged overnight it seems. :smile:

Honestly I’m 49 yrs old, but I feel as if I’m a 149 yrs old. This is due to may physical issues I have at present.

I feel older physically - that can’t be helped. I also tend to view things through the lens of my life experience, which I guess makes me act older. I can’t help that either as I’m a person who learns from mistakes.

Mentally I still feel like I’m in my twenties. There’s a lot of stuff around me in the world that I find exciting. I love exploring new music and playing with new tech. I’m open to some of the new types of gaming (VR!). I don’t look at younger people and feel bitter.

I don’t know. In a way not, I feel like I’m “living” up to my age. After I hit puberty I was attracted to women that were 50+. Like teachers and stuff. In a way I feel like I was old before I was born.
