When will you admit you are old?

Thankfully looking young runs in my family and I do take care of my health quite a bit with healthy eating and exercise. I do not feel old but when I see the children getting older it takes me to remember age.

My son was 32 last year and my first grandson will be one year old at the end of this month. That doesn't make me old yet though because I haven't got time to be old. I have too many things still to do before I get old. When I have done them all then I might be older, but not old

i am going to be 50 this year and man, that IS old! (fortunately, i dont look or act my age so that helps!)

I don't have any kids of my own, but I have had people often tell me that I look 10 years (or more) younger than I am. This was not fun when I was younger, but now that I am over 50, it is great! Of course, when I am old enough to get senior discounts, that might not be so great, but it is nice to think that maybe I am not as old as I am. But other times, I feel like I am very old, especially since I was diagnosed with a recurrence of cancer. Have a great day!

I know i'm getting older by the year, but i will not admit it so readily. Being a woman, it's natural that i want to look young at all times. I try all ways and means to make myself look younger than my actual age, but i do not go for surgery and whatsoever. There will be a time whereby i know i can't hide my age anymore, but i hope that time won't come so soon.

Hi. Age is just numbers to record the existence of an individual. It is alright to age as long as you are still productive in life. We could have changes in our physical looks yet this is not a factor for us to admit that we are old. The only time that I think I would accept that I am old is when I am totally useless in this life. This is the time for me to say, resign boy.

Well, my body reminds me every day that I'm getting old. But it's all really relative isn't it? As long as my mind is still active and I'm not drooling all over the place, I'm as young as my mind feels. Of course, that could change tomorrow but today I'm still young.

Hey Oldsix, Hey I think you are old when you decide you are pretty much old. If you have grey hair then dye it if you like or go for the between look and get a gray highlight still have some greys in there for maturity. Me I think im a good Age im 19 years old but I think im going to keep control of how i look and how fast i will age. As long as we keep ourselves in good health you can control or slow down the prcess of aging but eventually you will get old haha. My dad is 60 years old he doesnt act or look 60 he looks in his 40's :) Good looking 60 year old haha

I am admitting I am old already... I am 23 years old and I just have had my baby, my muscle is always stiff, I don't get to hang out at all, I don't have friends aroudn.. I Feel like I am an old lady... I look very tired these days bwecause of not getting enough sleep in the middle of the nights and because of my very demanding baby.

I will admit that I'm older now since I don't have the energy to do the things I used to... but I still don't think I'm old. Maybe in a few more years.

Ooops!!! I admit that some days I am very old. Some others though, I feel very, very, young. Today I passed from feeling very, very, old (when I told my 20 year old granddaughter about how we had iceboxes instead of fridges when I was little) to feeling very young when I showed her my new swimmimg suit that I´ll take for my vacations and we talked clothes. I don´t have a single grey hair though. That makes a big difference. I have dyes my hair for ages!!!

Now that is cute. I am in my 50's but I will never be old. I look younger then my youngest sister.....LOL I had grey hair since I was 13. Your as old as you feel. I don't ever want to feel old.

I am 44 and Mum describes me as "lucky" because she turned grey as a badger way before then. I have the odd grey hair but they don't bother me and I don't intend to have my hair dyed either as friends of my Mum's have gone down that route and the hair turns straw-like eventually, due to the hair having to keep being dyed. My hands aren't as smooth as they used to be. It's one area of the body we all tend to ignore..then they go all wrinkly and it's too late then! I have been known to use my facial moisturiser on them and it doesn't seem to do them any harm.

I am reminded of my age when I try to get a job. Yet, I'm still fast in some things physically, and very bright. I don't have much grey hair and that runs in the family. Only the lines in my face show that I am old. Like another myLotter on this discussion, I have a lot of things to do so I don't have time to get old either. Like you and other myLotters, I think that age "is nothing but a number" too.

Its a long time to reach that time for me. I never felt I am old in any time and so will not feel also. I feel I am still young however old I become. I would not allow that thought to come to my mind any time in my life. Life is to enjoy and not to think whether we are old.

Hi Oldsix, The best people to remind us how old we are are our kids. My eldest son is turning 12 this year, and my husband and I would sometimes talk about how tiny he was when he was a baby, and now he's even taller than me. I just hope that I live long enough to see my grandchildren, which is actually still a long way ahead... Once gray hair started growing out of my otherwise black hair,(and this happened about two years ago) I've come to accept that I am getting old. I think the best way to face age is to accept it graciously.

You know what, I have to admit I am old too, not like when I was 20s. I am on my early 30, I have to admit honestly too. But I feel like I am too old to go to club or chasing girls around. Even though I am single. I still too shy to ask girls out myself. I wish that I am 20, and I still have that gut to do so.

Hi,oldsix691418. I can't agree with you on the point .To my mind ,people's age is written on their hearts instead of their appearance .Have you ever read a poem "About youth "? I can't remember the whole lines ,but i remember the spirit of it.Many great men use the poem as their motto.I think there must be some reasons for them to choose it . Speaking of appearance ,i don't think of it as a problem either .With the development of medicine ,a plastic surgury can turn you into a 30 + year-old man .All in all ,keeping a young mind is the key to living a energetic life .What do you say ?

I always admit that I am old enough now.

people should admit that they are old only when they attain good intelligence and has confidence to be independent. In that way they can be truly called up as old.
