Do you feel older or younger than your birth certificate

Well I'm told I was born in 1950 but I feel closer to 85 than 58. I have several health issues and I honestly think I would feel better if I was a happier person. My living situation needs some housework. I'm not being abused I just don't have anyone to help make me happy.

My birth certificate says I am 58, but my face (someone said )says I am 45. And my mind says I am 21. Sometimes I feel my mind and my body can not coordinate ! Why ? Please help finding out the reasons .

Healthwise I feel a lot older than my birth certificate states. mentally and emotionally I am much younger. I am a kid at heart and I refuse to grow up ever. I feel in my mid to late 30's. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

Is this you in that picture RobinJ, wow you are correct, that face is far from being 65! Cheers! A lot of people say I am younger than what my birth certificate tells me..LOL, and I also feel it..I am sure that my daily exercise helps me to feel better and being very great to myself!

Hi Robin, how are your dust bunnies? I also feel very young, tired by young. I'm 56 and feel like i'm 30. I not ready to get older, I refuse to get old and I also refuse to grow up. So when I can, I will do as much as i can. Because you reach a certain age, one may not be able to do what we can do now. We have to enjoy life as much as possible, we never know when the day will come and we leave this world.

Other than retirement or old age pension, what have you been doing to become more health conscious? I am 51 and today, I feel older! I am pretty sure it is from stress and lack of exercise! I have started doing some walking so I don't feel quite so stiff and sore but I am still sore when I get up in the morning!

Hiya pal , I am 66 as you know and most days I feel a lot younger , I always say I am 18 :) . some days my body with the RA makes me feel older , but in my mind I am never going to grow up . Since doing IPD I have felt a lot better within myself , hubby says he hasn't seen me so positive in years :) xx

Hi there Robin :))) You know most of the time I can not believe I am 47 already. I don't feel like I have changed mentally from the girl I was at 21. Sometimes I look in the mirror and think man I still have it going on. Then the next week I feel every single year. I see the crows feet and squint lines in my face. I morn the youth I have lost. Then I realize I am still growing as an individual and woman, and have never felt as feminine as I do right now. I am beginning the first stages of menopause, and it is causing me grief, but I am getting a handle on it now, I realize that it can only get better from here.... LMAO so I suppose the answer to your question for me is a little of both.

My birth certificate says I am eighteen, but right now I feel like I'm at least 100 years old.

Oh you look young Robin. Me, my birth certificate says that i will be 28 on September but i feel I am more like 17 or more of my age.Some says I am a late bloomer and this is the time only when i feel I am enjoying to have a crush and not to have a boyfriend. Do i look like 28 on my avatar? Care to answer. Thanks.

Unfortunately, I certainly do feel older than what my birth certificate states. And I know just the reason why I do feel this way. With all the problems and struggles I'm facing now, it's not a puzzle that I look and feel matured than I actually am. I've been married for more than five years now and the error of not saving as much money as I could way back my 'singlehood years' is taking a toll on me and my physical appearance now. Aside from this, I can't help but worry about our financial status. At present, I'm the only one working because my husband is out of job. We have a daughter who is turning three this year and this still poses a struggle for me, because in two months time, she'll be celebrating her birthday. Honestly, I couldn't really squeeze anything from my monthly salary since almost all of it goes to paying off our outstanding monetary obligations totalling to about two thousand US dollars. Anyway, it's great to hear that other people like you are feeling good nowadays. Well I guess you're right in believing that it's partly because of being a pensioner. God bless and take care.

I'm 64 and can't believe how fast the time has gone. I have to say I feel pretty good, I'm still working for survival. I still feel like a kid when I hear certain songs, growing up in the fifties. Right now I'm listening to Sam Cooke. The station is the golden oldies. I can't believe how old my children are getting. LOL.

I think I look younger than my birth certificate. And people do agree with me.

Im already 36 robin but I feel like im already 46.I think bcoz im a single mom and my kids still lil.Daycre is vey expensive and besides that IM sending money also back home...sighhhhh...!I feel like im carrying the heavy cross on my shoulder.

LOL I love questions like these LOL why? Because at the tender young age of 37 I mentally feel like a kid, I have the spirit, spark and awe of a kid but man oh man my body SO DOES NOT follow suit LOL..On a good day I have the body of a less than healthy 70 yr old...on a bad day...I have the body of a corpse LOL BUT I'm always very young at heart and like a fun loving carefree teenager or child

I am 65 and I have always looked younger than my years. However Z went gray prematurely, and so people think I have always been a blond. I found I felt a lot better after I got the Old Age Security, that meant I could spend money whereas before I was afraid to. I have always been a salad eater, and the only change I made was to eat butter and less margarine, although since we do not eat at restaurants where there is butter, and since I have not yet mastered making whipped margarine (the water does not blend in)sometimes I have to use margarine. I was unable to give birth to children during my marriage and adoption is not the same, because you do not have that pregnancy hormone in your body that makes you more responsible, I have never felt my age. In fact, sometimes my mind feels like I am in my twenties, although the outside says that I could be in my thirties or forties, depending on whether I am losing weight or not.

I feel older than my birth certificate. I will be 33 next month, but I feel more like I'm in my 40's (at the least). With being a mom of two kids and with one of them being autistic, it can be trying to say the least.

hello..i`m 27 but i always feel younger then my age...it`s just about numbers..lol

Yeah, ofcourse, every old people use to feel like that, because its basically in the childhood days, they are very active, and they use to took the natural foods, which is having more energy, and it keep them healthy, but now a days, none of the vergitables are giving the good health to the body, because those are grown up to the manual properties like "Urea" etc. So, the natural health protention has not been espected from the vegitales from the current days.. and also in those days, there is not much transportaion facility like today.. they use to walk for the long distance, even 5 kms, 10 kms.. and later they use to cycling for the long distance, these will improve their body conditions and also, since they are very active, they will fall with any of the diesesses.. But now a days, all are working in a same place under the Airconditioned Room, and by eating the Pizza and burger.. the are calling lots of dieseces.. so, they will feel like old as 60 years plus, when they at 35-40 years.. And also in the ancient days, every one should have children in a dozzens.. but you see in now a days, the people are walking to the doctors for a kid even after getting the marry of 10 years or so.. even by spending a lakhs of Rupees they will not get it succeed.. I just stop this response at this point.. please. Any how thanks for the discussion..

I used to feel about ten years younger than my BC. Now, after depression and stress issues,I feel older. I am 56. Ugh!
