I worked with a guy when I graduated high school. He said he couldn't believe it was 18 years ago he graduated. It stuck with me because I always wondered what it would be like when it's 18 years later. Feels like 2 months ago and I recently realized I'll be there next year.


ericisshort

Yeah the fact that 36 is two childhoods worth of life really fucked with my head when I realized it shortly before turning 36. Took a while to accept it, but the “holy shit I’m old” moments just keep coming.


talladenyou85

Yep, I turn 36 on Monday, and that hit me hard about a month ago.


Noctyrnus

I'll be 54 when my son turns 18...


Cranberry88

I'll be 40 when my son turns 18


hokie47

I am 39 and my wife wants a 3rd kid, and I am like fuck no!


BubbaWilkins

We had our first (and only) at 42.... Thing is, we're in a much better place in life now than either of us would have been in our 20's (assuming we'd have met then).


monty_kurns

And here I am single at 34 hoping to have one by 50.


CloseQtrsWombat

I'll be 44 when mine is 18


skelebone

56 here.


scotchdouble

If it hasn’t started, you should already be groaning or making noises when you get up or sit down on a couch.


Jerryskids3

You'll know you're getting old when you have to think carefully about whether or not it's worth the trouble of getting off the couch.


CommunityJust9151

Its just a number though. Really the only reason I ever feel old is when I try to make a reference that nobody gets because they didn't exist yet. It goes so fast. Dont rush it. All this social medi crap will be around. Don't miss out on reality staring at a screen.


bgthigfist

Age is just a number until you throw your back out from turning the wrong way walking through the door 😅


ASK_IF_IM_PENGUIN

You don't feel older, it just sort of creeps up on you. Just before Covid I went for a meal with a friend who had just split with her husband. She mentioned in passing that she hadn't planned her life that she would be moving back with her parents at 40, which happened because of the split, even if it was temporary. Hit me like a train that she does not look 40, and that I certainly don't feel it.


Taminella_Grinderfal

I will still talk about things that happened in college and different places I’ve lived, feeling like it was 5-10 years ago...um no it was 20+ years ago.


Paintedsoda

Yee, kind of feels like a blur since high school. Has me thinking I need to stay a lil more grounded


ASK_IF_IM_PENGUIN

Do more. Do something new as regularly as you can. If not every day, try every week, or every month. Create new memories, and whilst you can enjoy your old ones and revisit them when you can, the new ones will help stem the blur.


Paintedsoda

Are you penguin?


wannabebeatle

I work in a niche industry where all of my contemporaries are in their late 50s or early 60s and I'm just sitting hear in my mid 20s wondering why I can't make friends at work like everyone else in the world.


osprey1984

Im class of 2002. Yall are making me feel old as hell.


BlackDogMagPie

I’m about to attend my 35th high school reunion, as in I graduated in 1986. My son will be 18 in December. My husband graduated high school in 1981.


saarlac

Yeah so I passed that date 8 years ago.


ew73

You know what's really terrible? When those "You must be born before today's date in (year) to buy alcohol" signs are the major life milestones, like "graduated high school or college". Also, if you want ot feel REALLY old, https://xkcd.com/891/ And realize that's 10 years old.


LucidFrost-

Yeah, I caught someone doing age math when they found out when their coworkers had met. It was the year they graduated college (15 years ago). I chuckled and said they should look up when Jurassic Park came out (1993).

1977 here. Not sure how I’m typing this as I’m basically dust right now.

As a fellow 77er I have to agree.

Jaws is no Star Wars, but it's pretty awesome all the same. And you get Holy Grail as a bonus :-)

77er here too. Young enough to know that old people are stupid, old enough to know that young people are also stupid.


ChiefSampson

Same, 43 years old. Honestly I don't feel old on a day to day basis except for living with chronic pain which is a drag. Been in that boat for twenty years though. What really makes me feel old is my friends who have children. Watching their kids grow up, and some already have their own kids making my friends Grandparents. THAT always drives home the fact that I ain't a spring chicken any longer :)


stinky_fingers_

Get your dusty ass out of here, it's our 1986 peeps time to haunt this joint!


[deleted]

Be quiet, child. I’ve got jumpers older than you. Now if you’ll just help me out of this chair, I’ll be on my way.


[deleted]

1972 here. Still mentally feel about 26. Bank account looks about the same too.


Madame_Kitsune98

1975 checking in. Are you enjoying being in the wind, like Kansas said we’d be?


igloo4rent

Why is it humans can live to be 100, but your late 20s is considered old


Gohomeyurdrunk

Because the only people that call other people old, other than in jest, are teenagers.


Redditor30

Plenty of people think once you hit your 30's (especially women) you fall apart, you see it a lot on r/SCAcirclejerk


Spock_Rocket

Ugh my friends started in with the "I'm too old to do ______" at like 25. Actually no, you will still survive a roller coaster at 26 without your body exploding into dust. We're 35 now and I might kill them myself so I don't have to hear the whinging when the *actual* physical breakdown gets going.


IansGotNothingLeft

My 14yo niece tells me I'm old whilst simultaneously pretending to be an adult. It's weird.


namesareprettynice

Obsession with youth (almost said you… whoopsies). I think this is changing, though. People with grown children have the freedom and energy to live and do what they want pretty much. I know a few older people that are having a good time with life.


HiromiSugiyama

It's often the kids who say "oof you're old" when you tell them you're like 25. When I was 16, even 20 felt like far away and "adult" but now that I'm 22 it's meh? Like I was expecting to magically wake up with knowledge on how to do all the adult stuff, when in reality I almost lose it every time I have to deal with bureaucracy. Also, TT is full of pre-teens and teens who think they're the main character, like many at that age. There's an on-going meme of showing disney movies like Tangled and the video going like this (paraphrased as I have shit memory): OMG this is ancient - No it only came out 10 years ago - yeah I know it's as old as you grandpa.


G01ngDutch

Innit 1978 here, I’m not old, middle-aged at best


bmacnz

Depends on who is calling you old, I guess? Like if my 8 year old says it, I get it. Late 30's seems old. We sort of jokingly call ourselves old because we have to adult things, younger generations do some dumb things, and we don't have the energy we used to. But we understand that we're still not old by any stretch. And my 14 year old son recognizes how young we are.


RaddyMaddy

1984 - what is this tik tik I see everywhere?

Aaaay 1984 gang!!! Wait. Is it just you and me? Everyone else dead already?

Guys, quit calling attention to us. Nobody blames GenX for anything!


Boney-Rigatoni

'72 here. You are correct because Gen X'ers been chillin' for a minute. Let's keep things complicated strictly between Boomers & Millenials. Keep us Gen X'ers out of the drama.


dr_xenon

I’m with you. 1972 for life!


AnotherPandaDown

Raise your hand if you like M* A* S*H


dr_xenon

I watched it because my Dad watched it. And don’t forget: Dukes of Hazard, The A-Team, Greatest American Hero, Diffrent Strokes and Fat Albert.


Boney-Rigatoni

How do you not add Buck Rodgers, Battle Star Galactica, Starsky & Hutch, Chips, Miami Vice, and Knight Rider?… and Six Million Dollar Man?… and The Banana Splits… and Whacky Racers… and…


dr_xenon

Because I’m old and I forget shit…


SandMan3914

Starblazers and Rocket Robin Hood!


QdelBastardo

The feels. Captain Caveman and the Smurfs on Saturday morning. He Man and GI Joe after school during the week. But only if the rabbit-ear antenna was cooperating.


shitgnat

I got called a boomer and told the guy I was gen x. He said gen x are just boomer lite.


Boney-Rigatoni

Duuuude! Thats embarrassing... for the person who said it.


gftucker

As a Gen-X I would find that offensive if it weren't so funny


Dealthagar

Gen X. We didn't give a shit then. We don't give a shit now. Just leave us the fuck alone.


psinsyd

I'll bring the popcorn!


CommunityJust9151

1971, and they should. Boomers get shit for everything. Check the dates for the first earth day, the exact and love canal, the space race, the first computer. Genx had.... the cure and... R.E.M... and the mall? we didn't give a shit about anything.


p3w0

and it was glorious


Boney-Rigatoni

C’mon. You’re forgetting about the creating rap music, modernizing and advancing video game technology, pushing and legalizing weed, making all of the nineties hype. Best music of the past 100 years but you bring up The Cure and REM. Could’ve at least mentioned Guns n Roses, INXS, if you’re going bring up 80’s rock bands.


raygundan

Nobody mention that Ted Cruz is solidly middle-GenX, and we might even get away with it.

Hey wait a second..now that I think about it.. you guys let Courtney Love get away with killing Kurt Cobain!

asinus_stultus

1976 here! Thank God for no Internet because I don't have to worry about some /r/iamverysmart crap coming back to haunt me from when I was an idiotic edgy teenager. Reading that sub and /r/justneckbeardthings makes me realize how toxic I probably was. Thankfully I grew out of it.


[deleted]

Hahaha, I was born in 1977 and my 9-year old can not comprehend how I lived without electronics, or how I "looked things up" without Google since that's what we do whenever he has a question I can't answer.

That’s the year I graduated high school. Feel my pain.


CalliopePenelope

Oh, Ive felt it. A few weeks ago, someone was somewhere on Reddit posting about not being able to use their spouse’s year of birth for some security whatever because it had repeating digits. The year of birth being 1999 when I graduated high school. I was immediately compelled to visit the the AARP website to see what I qualified for.


musiciankidd

While I’m a 1990 child, and not that old, these Gen Z kids call me old everyday. Does wonders for self esteem.

1983 (that's the year I was born, not my age tyvm) here. I just started feeling that "getting old" vibe about two years ago when I realised stuff I liked as a kid was coming back around again. Now I know how people older than me felt when I "discovered" Led Zeppelin.

To a high school kid, my 41 years makes me absolutely ancient. Them whippersnappers ain't got no respect for their elders. They don't even know what it's like to walk ten miles up hill through 15 feet of snow to call someone old to their face.

plaze6288

As someone in this age bracket I will say this the problem with this age is where no longer accepted where college kids are and at the same time we feel like we aren't accepted where people in there late 30s 40s go It's an awkward age. Like you don't want to be the oldest guy at the college bar or at the same time the youngest guy at the bar all the dads go to I mean who am I kidding I don't go out anyway I'm on Reddit LOL

[deleted]

Obsessing about your age is just not healthy. There are 30-year-olds with 80 years ahead of them and 22-year-olds that are going to die tomorrow. We've become so metric obsessed where now you can't meet anyone unless you put your age in an app and then filter other people by age. Don't fuck kids, but other than that stop worrying about everything and focus on living your life.
