Feeling Old

As another year is soon to be behind me, I feel myself feeling old as I approach the big "40". At what point did you start to feel old? I see all the young moms with their children at the park, and I become melancoly about days gone by. I listen to the oldies channel now and here songs from when I was in high school. At what point did you start to feel old?

I am older then you and I still don't feel old. Inside I still feel like a teenager some times. I think age is a state of mind. I don't think there is a point where you suddently feel old not if you think young!

Men love older women so your doing just fine. The (big 40) 40 is not old at all! 80 sure 40 He** no! I bet your great looking women. great times ahead of you! as for children, one day it will come. It 2007 "40" is the new "30" by the way: these is coming from a 21 year old.

Geez - you feel old ... YOU FEEL OLD??? I'll be 42 years young in August. Ask again in another quarter century & MAYBE you might have a right to feel old.

I already feel old with all the aches and pains that I have been having in my body. I think as we get closer to 40 we start feeling somewhat older. We could be a child all we want at any age but usually our bodies start having some problems at some point. I will be 37 in June so I am close to 40 as well. It is hard to believe how quickly we age. The years go by too quickly in my opinion.

Turning 40 was incredible for me. But, as I inch closer and closer to 50, I am feeling a bit blue. I know that I shouldn't. The only time I am reminded of my age is when I see the child of a friend or relative that I haven't seen in years and this child is now grown up. But, age is just a number. How you feel is another thing. I do not feel as if I will be 50. I feel young. Staying that way is important. Life is good. Huggers to you Mrs.JP

I am 38 years and try to avoid this an intrusive thought even all the situation arround reminds me that nothing is eternal. Dont be upset. Our age has its own advantages.

I am fifty five years old. I never felt old for a long time. I usually feel much younger. I have a demanding job. I love it. I am busy. Mostly I am successfull. Sometimes when I am tired and the day wasn`t pleasant I feel old for a short time. Or when I have forgotten something I wonder if old age is hitting me. But usually I feel 20 years younger than my birth certificate.
