At what point did you decide that you're old?

from my experience, people who are under 70 that think their old, end up thinking they were foolish to feel that way once they get way up there. There are alot of advantages to getting older and gray hair is a crown, plus a sign of wisdom!

You are only as old as you feel. I dun really think age has anything to do with it. While it's true that as you age, your body becomes weaker but your mind should be filled with a greater desire to experience life.

After I turned 30 I started to fall apart, I had to have gall bladder surgery, then next came back surgery. I did have a surprise pregnancy in there, but being pregnant in my 30's was so much more difficult than the first 2 in my 20's. I also found my first gray hairs in my 30's, I began to see the effects of gravity on my body, such as body parts not being where they once was. Now in my 40's those differences are even more apparent. I will not regal you with the trials and tribulations of what is natural to a woman every month however. And oh yes the music, all of the music I love is now classified as classic, so I guess I am beginning to be come an antique along with it. So for me my dear Filmbuff what I once thought of as my immortal life became oh so clearly mortal in my 30's.

I think I started feeling older when the clients started tellin us what year their parents were born in. Most of the client's parents are my age. That kind of scares me. Also all the music I like the clients tell me is old fogey music.

Are you sure the second song was Rebel Yell...According to Wikipedia, it was a Pat Benatar Song: You Better Run...Funny, I always thought it was Billy Squire The Stroke....Oh well... I must be around the same age as you...Mentally, I don't feel old, but I have been going grey for the last 10 years...LOL about the same time I got married...

I realized I am old when I grow more gray hairs instead of black. On top of that, I noted the change in my body strength, I am not the same again. I get tired easily; I would rather sleep early than stay up late. Looking at the mirror, I see tiny lines on my face; I can't sleep when drinking cola drinks, unlike younger people who seem not to be affected. Well, of course, my two kids are already grown-ups, in fact, they are already professionals, a signal that I am no longer getting any younger. On top of these, my taste for music and leisure is no longer the same with the younger generation.

How about the facyt I just had another b-day a couple of days ago. Or the fact that my kids tell me that I am getting old all the time. Now it takes me a day to recover from a night of serious drinking, where as before I could do it all over again the next night

I felt old a few weeks back when a friend of mine from college emailed and told me he is finishing up his masteral degree this May. I realized i should have enrolled myself a few years ago, at this age, i feel i was kind of left out. Not really old but i felt i should have made things done by now yet i'm still here. Before he emailed me, my mind still thinks the "i just graduated from college" thing. But after reading his email inviting me to join his little party, i realized that i missed a lot of days doing nothing. I know i can still make up so i planned to enroll this semester, but i just hope i did it earlier, and now a feel a little old knowing that my former classmate is already graduating yet im just starting. Wish me luck!

It started on my thirtieth birthday. I cried. My next "milestone" birthday will make it official. I'll officially be "old." These "highlights" in my hair aren't helping anything either, but yeah, the music thing really does it for me. What passes for music today is often crap and I remember my parents saying similar things. I've turned into my mother!

Ive felt old since I was eighteen. Im 21 now, and im feeling slightly ancient. I know its ridiculous, I know. But I just dont feel youthful. I really think that my youth was all in my teens and when I was younger. Im really scared about getting older.

It's a tough question to be answered by a girl. I'm 22 and I think the greatest fear I have is getting old. I still don't feel old, but I'm pretty sure it won't take too long.
