Do you feel your age? Younger, older maybe?? What about your body's age?? Sometimes I feel older than my age when I start to have deep discussions with people who could care less about what I have to say because they know nothing of the topic. Sometimes my body feels a lot older when I injure myself, or just start to ache throughout the day... What about you?

I often feel older then my age. I am married, have a kid, and don't have anyone my age that I spend time with anymore. Sometimes I talk to high school or college friends who are still in college or just out of it and they are busy partying and drinking. They are worried about this or that. They are still supported by mom or dad for the most part... That all makes me feel old. So, does hearing from the kids I used to baby sit. I used to watch a little girl when she was four and now she is driving!

I think quite a bit has got to do with the makeup of your social circle.

I feel young and old at the same time. Old because I feel jaded and dejected. Young because I feel incompetent and incapable. Life is a box of chocolates. Some have nuts; others have worms.

I will be 29 in 2 months. Me and my best friend were just saying how next year at this time, we will be counting down until 30. At times, I can't believe I'm already pushing 30, but then other times I feel so much older. I find myself getting tired easier, and just not doing things I did when I was in my early 20's or late teens.

Hello suckerupper. I am in my early 20's but, I feel that I am 17 to 19 years old. I really dont act my age. I dont even look like Im in my early 20's. I look even younger. So, when people ask me how old I am and say my real age, I could see their shocked expressions on their faces. Because I really dont look like my age.

I'm 17, but I still feel like a kid. I don't like to think about the "grown up" world, with work and bills and stuff. I like to still like to play. :]

I will be 30 in May. I feel younger and look younger than my age. Most people are surprised when they find out how old I am. The time that I feel my age or older is when my baby wears me out. I had the first of my 4 children at 19 and I do not remember getting so tired with him!

My body age feels 10 years older than my age now. One reason could be because I smoke and I usually feel the weak body when I have a shortness of breath going up the stairs because I don't exercise enough. I have a split answer of feeling young and old. There are times that I come to a discussion which others feel that I am too knowledgeable about it than my real age and there are times that people say, I act childish. I can feel that I should be taking better care of my self/body because it is harder to recuperate from illnesses, like you said, when you get older.

I look younger than what i am..my age is 21.but my friends say that i look like a 18 yr old kid.Many of u people think that its a compliment,but i dont think its a compliment.Once,i applied for a post of team leader in a call centre.According to me i should be selected,but they rejected me.Do u know what the feed back they had given for me,"your body doesnt match to be team leader,sorry we cant get u in".Really its hurting me a lot.

If I'm sitting down for a while, then try to get up, I feel a lot older than I am. I had to get recertified on my CPR license today and we had to squat down or sit on our heels to do CPR on the dummies. When I tried to get up, I was all bent over like an old woman walking around until my legs were able to loosen up and walk nice.

I'm 20 but there are times that I feel younger my age or inother times older my age. It depends on what situation I stand. Especially when it comes to decision making I can say that I feel older my age because of the ideas that's popping out of my mind. Body's age? If I'm really stressed out with school work I feel really older but grateful at the same time because I can't imagine that I can handle all those tough jobs. But other times I feel carefree and younger my age.

I feel younger than my actual age, hahaha! Maybe my heart is just slow to mature, but of course my mind does. lolz. They say its just a matter of feeling young so age(literally) doesn't matter that much. Feel young, so that you also look young! :-)

I normally don't feel as old as I am. I am 44 and I use to think of 44 as old, but I generally don't feel it. However, today I feel much older than I am. I went out and celebrated my birthday last night. Had a few too many whiskey sours and now feel really old!

I am 35 and I still feel like I am in my early 20's. I do have arthritis in my limbs from doing so much damage to myself in my youth. I was quite the daredevil back then. On days that I feel the joint pain, I don't feel so young, but I pop some ibuprofen and keep going.

I am 25 but i look two years younger. When it comes to thoughts, i think like a 35 year old lady. I am thinking very far, i want to have this and that. I wish i could be having 2 kids right now, one should be 10 and another 8, thats what is in my mind right now.......I think am getting old very first because sometime my body ache more that it used to be a year ago. What is wrong with me now. I only have 10 years to start a countdown to menopause. My mother started menopause at 52.........i think i should stop there.
