I have learned the difference between “your” and “you’re”.
For me, it’s correcting people that.
I guess I’m still growing as a person
I find it takes much, much longer to heal from injury. That’s the main downside I’ve experienced. When I say longer - when about 8 yo I broke my arm, it took 5-6 weeks to heal, maybe 10 to really heal, stop swelling ever and feel exactly like the other. When about 45 I broke my finger and it took 2 years to fully heal and feel like the rest of them.
But it also takes longer to get mad, I’m less irritable, more perspective I guess. Easier to feel happy/satisfied, too, it’s closer to the surface now.
You can’t stand grindy videogames. You see young adults as children, and their behavior becomes irritating.
My what?
TURN UP YOUR HEARING AIDS OLD TIMER
Your getting older. They are asking the abstract noun representing your aging what some signs are. I don’t think your getting older is going to be able to answer, though, and I doubt it has much knowledge of signs.
The music I grew up with is “classic” and the “hits of yesterday” that I don’t recognise on the radio is “young people’s music”.
Back pain
Deadlifts fixed my back pain completely. Ymmv.
thanks, i’m trying with swimming now, hopefully it’ll help
Presbyopia
The amount of candles on you’re birthday cake are so numerous that the fire department comes out.
For me it clicked when pretty girls started tallking and being nice to me
It’s probably because you stopped caring so much and acting awkwardly around them
It is! Hence the realization that I got older. Sorry, re-reading my comment above I wasn’t clear
“You’ve exited the dating pool but aren’t in old adult territory yet”, someone I’ve heard describe it once.
Your perception and outlook on time changes a lot.
Everything seems to go by faster. Waiting for something doesn’t seem that bad when it’s in terms of days instead of hours, weeks instead of days, months instead of weeks, years instead of months.
When making long term plans, “how long you think you’ll live” becomes more and more of a factor.
Your first gray pube.
What age?
For me sometime soon after 40.
You look at your weekly pill container to know what day of the week it is.
Worrying that every unexpected pain in your body will be cancer.
I’ve been like that since 15, that’s just being a hypochondriac.
School dreams are very rare now, and when I have them the “cast” is all people from various adult jobs. I never knew my actual school mates as adults, so I guess my brain just can’t fill it in. If I was actually transported back to high school and saw them again it would probably feel like being surrounded by babies, so makes sense that “central casting” sends in adult stand-ins.
I’m always an adult too. What’s weird is I remember being a child. I remember my body being clumsy and awkward, I remember being confused by adult concepts, I remember being small. It never comes out in childhood dreams, I’m always my present age.
My knees. I am past 30, and my knees somehow don’t want to bend anymore.
On the other hand the older I get, the smarter I get about life. Do some physical activity on a regular basis, keep some long term goals in mind, don’t let your emotional state depend on external factors.
Find balance in your life and know your limits and you will be all right.
