Do you like it when people ask your age?

I think most people like to "act" not their age lol.

Stops life from being dull pal xx

Oh yea, we need lots of anti-dull thingies.

same as time really, everyone's always going on about 'wasting time' sorry how is it possible to waste time? Time is a man made concept to organize everything furiously, i prefer to go by the sun, I'm an odd one, i like to wake up as the sun goes down, but most people, if they would forget about time, their lives would be so much calmer and they would have more 'time' for the things they enjoy. Oh and about age, what is it with people thinking that because your something under 30 that you don't have a brain? Gosh that drives me nuts. I may be 20 but I'm not stupid. I would just love it if for one day, one day only, people could see others for their intellect and experiences rather than judge them by their age.

Yyyyyup, you can't really waste time lol.

I am quite like you in that sometimes I will forget how old I am. It is only I kept reminding myself perversely these days that I remember this particular year. I always tend to think myself as younger. Really, I think age is something invented by overly bored people. If we did not have the calendar, no one needs to worry about aging. Rather, the focus would be more geared towards leading fulfilling lives instead.

Please don't take you age so seriously I had areally hard time with that now that i'll be forty in a few weeks. When just have to keep ourselves healthy and distracted. After all age is only a number. Like I said I'm going to 40 at the end of Aprila nd I'm not really scared, because I'm comfortable with just being who I am, alometimes I'm not quite sure of my self. But if you really try to put other things in front of you to keep you busy pretty soon it may not bother you again. Why don't you just plan special 1 on 1 time with you grandkids and then spend some time pampering yourself and if you an't afford to go out and do it do it at home, take a nice long shower or bubble bath and realx and I'm sure things will pass. Nothing lasts for ever. Good luck to you and I hope you can some up withsome sort of arrangent that will back you all happy or at least make it bearable. Best of Luck!~D P. S. Try to have a great time.

Lol now you are both 9. I like the way you put it.

Oops, silly me! That should read: "even more incredible living ..."

Oh yes, my Lady. I know, I know. I am just wondering why you would finally take the step to tackle the white house for real.

Yup, you might have a mindset change.

For me, it doesn't depend on who's doing the asking. Just don't ask lol.

I don't usually put down my age for profiles. In fact I think myLot is the only one that I can recall that I have done so. I just thought that I am comfortable enough in this community and I don't want to play hide and seek so heck, I dumped my age there and myLot even so thoughtfully increments it on my birthdays.

In your case it's written in your profile so no-one would be likely to ask right? Amazing how some never appear the age that is stated there though... *sigh*

Yea, here's to aging gracefully.

Well put it this way, usually we would think all who are younger than us as SO YOUNG. As for those who are older than us, we tend to think OH NO, I DON'T WANT TO BE THAT OLD SO SOON.

Yea, our mindsets change with age...

i don't really care about being asked about my age up to now.Because i am 23 and still young enough.if i were 32 ,i would not feel uncomfortable ethier.I am at the age i am.I think you will be happy telling others your age when you look younger that your age.

ah gong you read wrong lah... i not married and no kids.

Maybe I did. Age catching up lah. Old man liow. Cannot read well liow!

I tend to forget my age too!

I think it's a good thing to forget your age! It's just another number to remember and I have plenty of other numbers to remember that don't change every year!! It gets to the point where age hardly matters. It's the company you keep and what you do and say I think...... My theory is that if you think and act old, constantly watch the clock and worry about gray hair, you're mind & body age faster. I have a brother that was completely gray by 18. My sister's 3 years older and acts & looks like she's 15 years older than me. my ex was the same age as me and looked like he was 10. I think alot of it's in your mindset.

.......alot of the time younger people think they're older than me and I make the remark that "oh, you're just a baby" and might tell them my age. some take offense to it but I don't mean it in a bad way, just that I've been there done that and have done so much more since. We learn, grow and change constantly. Maybe I should quit using that comment.

Oh yes, I absolutely hate that! Some people really have no sense to leave private questions for private settings.

i quite agree,especially i hate some older people call me old sister...

I agree with you, it is as a harassment.

Lol good for you.

ya, definitely

I was once called an Uncle by a 12 yr old kid and I was 18 then. Yup, I don't laugh at people's age either. We all grow old. This is one inviolate fact of life so laughing at someone older is like laughing at yourself.

I am old enough to know better, but still too young to care. Seems like an answer this often deserves.

Oh I hate those comparisons too.

So offer the question yourself when you need an esteem booster.

Yea, all the implications will usually follow...

haha

It's not quite the bias I had in mind... more than I don't want to be reminded of my age. Yw.

Sure, that's mental age. I am more thinking of physical age.

Yea, just a number.
