How old do you feel?

[v8thunder]

Picking up on the 'turning 30' post had me musing. As I'm turning 21 next weekend, I've got to admit, I feel more like 18. Thankfully the early adolescent arrogance has gone, but things like drinking raising a cheer rather than a groan, and driving still being a bit of a novelty seem to add to the impression that I don't think I've changed much since I was 18. Then again, at 18 I felt 16, so maybe I'm just growing up v-e-r-y--s-l-o-w-l-y.

I called my Dad and asked him about it. He said that, at 54, he feels 35, so it's obviously not just me.

So how old does everyone feel? And is it possible to feel older than you actually are?

I struggle to remember the last 15 or so years so I could be any age truth be known...

Considerably older than my 27 years, that's for sure…. Events in your life condition how old you feel (IMHO).

Doesn't mean I can't be childish though…

Until 30th I will feel 16, after that I will feel 17 until i get a different model!

Sometimes I feel quite old...ok well not old but mid-late 20s!
I think its because of my training. All the midwives I'm with are late twenties to early 40's and my best mate at uni is 32!
I've been told before I'm often a few years ahead of myself, always been very career minded etc...well apart from when I've had a couple!

I'm 30 going on 21

I get mixed responses from some people as when they look at me ive been told i look 22-23 and my behavior when out reflects that but when i'm in a serious mood i turn into a 40 year old

Very old I'm only 25 too.

It hit me recently how old I feel when I started complaining that the cold makes all my aches and pains worse and that Christmas is just a hassle and I wish it was spring.

You're as old as you feel... so where's that 18 year old nympho...

In my head, about 15.

When I have to run upstairs.....about 50.

The truth is somewhere in between.

I still look in the mirror and wonder who the old, overweight grey haired bloke is.

My shoe size.

On a good day: English sizes.

On a bad day: continental size.

[stackmonkey]

on the basis that you're as old as the man/woman you're feeling, I'm 23
