How sensitive are you when the topic is about your age?

I am 24 and sometimes I do feel awkward about telling my age or if the topic is about my age but there are times I don't mind. I think in future, it is still going to happen either way so I really shouldn't care if I talk about it. Maybe since I'm not as old as 28, I feel fine then awkward but in the future (like in 4 years more), I will be feeling 100% awkward. I see lots of my cousins who are in early and mid 30th, that makes me feel if they don't care, why should I. If they are older than me and be happy, why can't I.

I don't feel sensitive about my age sweetie. It's just a number. We are as old as we feel and i feel 10 each day. I'm over 35, cannot remember if we might add our age. I'm a bit behind with all the rules and whatnot.

Honestly, I am not sensitive about my age in a lot of occasions. However, when it comes to my being single, I am sensitive about it. I don't really know. Like you, a few years back, it wouldn't hurt me when someone gets married, gets engaged or is pregnant. But these days, a lot of things are different in me. I am now worrying about nothing and it feels like my life is empty and I am desperate to go to the 'next level'. I know I sound nuts but I can't even explain it! As for mistakes, indeed it's true. When we grow older, people expect so much from us, but I don't let that get into my mind. I am immature at times and do what I want - but I take heed as to the proper place and time for things. Remember that our names are the most important thing in the world, you wouldn't want to get caught drunk beyond help in front of your subordinates, right? There are expected things from us, but that shouldn't keep us from being happy. Just know your limitations and go somewhere else if you need to really go crazy - just don't bring any camera(s) so that there wouldn't be proof of it. Have a great MyLot experience ahead!

I'm not sensitive about my age I'm just 29 for the 6th year in a row!

Well, I'm still relatively young, so I haven't started worrying about this stuff yet (let's just say I'm still in high school). But I've already started feeling the pressures of growing up. I continuously miss those elementary school days in which I had little to do other than gluing macaroni shells to colorful paper and playing tag on the playground during recess. Life was so stress-free. So at this point, I'm still sharing my age. But in five or so years, probably not so much, haha. Happy mylotting!

I really don't mind talking about my age. Most of the time, people tell me I look younger for my age and I don't know if I should feel good about it. There are disadvantages and advantages when your looks does not coincide with your age. If you look older for your age, you can somehow impose authority, a lot of people will listen to you, but you have to be careful with your actions because older people should be more mature. While if you look younger than your age, you can care free. People don't ridicule you that much if you are a bit clumsy. In my experience, I wish I look just like my age, cause when I tried to teach in college, at first it was hard, because they think I was young to teach. It's up to you, however, how you deal with your age. As they say, it's just a number. With age come wisdom. SO I'm happy that I'm aging.

My sister is five years older than me. I loved it at 12 to 20 years old that people thought I was the older one. I looked 18 when I was 16 years old and at 17 I looked 19 years old. I wanted to be 21 when I was 20 years old. I tried holding onto my twenties and it was sad to lose the number 29. Then I became 30 years old and I felt old. When a child asks me how old I am I say I am older than you but younger than the queen. Now I am almost at the end of my thirties. When I was a young person I couldn't have imagined life after age 28 to year 2000.

No one would believe I was 21,(you had to be 21 to buy on the installment plan.) I was trying to buy furniture, and the salesman would not believe my age. That was in 1956, when things were much different! Now, I'm not retired and wouldn't dream of buying on time. Life is only what you make it!

as a guy, it is not much an issue for us. unless some signs of aging are showing for example, getting bald or emergence of white hair, weak knees, joint pains, and others. i think women have different perspectives on age. yes, you are right that time passes swiftly. it is up to us to catch up. some people rush to age. some like it slowed down. for me, time is no enemy nor friend. it is not a master. it comes and goes.

I am not sensitive too much at my age when friends talked about it. But sometimes i feel i want to go back to my young age in order to feel the happiness they really feel at that young age. To tell you the truth i feel young at heart. Even i am now at my high count of years, i feel wonderful like i am really a new born teen ager.. I want to go back but the truth is i cant.. Now i want to feel again those younger stages of my life through doing such like this.. and being here always makes me free at the moment. I can express myself here freely. That is why i feel young again. For me there is no barrier of what age i would be as long as i feel happy all the time. Again being here you can be free as long as you want.. no age limit...

Sharing my age isn't bothersome. I'm 32. When my poor health decides to run amok, I feel 60. On a good day, I feel 21 or 22.

Topics about my age don't really bother me. We caan not help how old or young we are. It's what we do with our lives at our age is what is important.

Sometimes I feel really annoyed when people think I am younger than my age. i do not want to appear young because unforunately many come up with the idea that I am immature when it is not the case. I have a friend who has the same problem. She looks like 18, but she is 26 in reality. People thought she was a single mother when she had her baby. It is a bit awkward and annoying. I think that if you are over 40 and people think you a re younger it is a compliment, but otherwise it can tend to be a problem. On the otehr hand looking much older is definitely a problem. I honestly wish that I could relive at least a day as a young child :)

Actually my friend regarding my age - not really big big deal to me whether for discussion or formal talking, because it is true that my age is the real age. I don't don't why others are very sensitive about their age and become histerical if they said your to old now, your senior citizen now - but it is true. Anyway at my age of 45 now never cover up that even in the phone, form registration, social networking and others - I very proud to tell and always proud because I reach in my age with peace and never big problem at all.

SO we are of the same age or maybe i'm a year older :) Age doesnt matter much to me, and i'm who i am. As we aged, our thinking will develop overtime without us having to think too much about it. We are still considered young as we are in the transition period into full grown adults with responsibilities Being an adult doesn't mean we cant have a kiddish side in us right? We are humans, we tend to behave out of control, make mistakes and all. People should not judge us by our mistakes and vulnerability because we all do it

When I was your age, that kind of thing didn't bother me. I have always made mistakes and was like you describe. I remember going into places (casinos for example) when I was 20 and I was dressed to the max and didn't get carded but those who were 21 dressed down and they did. People always thought I was 10 years younger than I was. Now that I am over 50, the only time my age is a problem is when I try to find a job. It seems like most employers want younger people. I also have stopped trying to dye the gray out of my hair. It just isn't worth it. What really bothers me is when I look at people who are my age and they are already grandparents (since I never had kids). I also remember when I was 36 and commented that the kids who were 18 now were born when I was 18. Enjoy life while you can and don't worry about what anyone else thinks or says!

not too sensitive. i am 31 now, but people would never see as a mature and adult person. they always under estimate me and not appreciate me and that makes me sensitive

this reminds me of some people in the company where i am working who're trying to keep their age secret. when i wrote the article "So what if I am forty?", many of them reacted saying that i feel confident about my age because i am happily married, or that i already have children. it is not even the point of what i wrote. no matter what age one is carrying, what matters is how one live life. if a large part of your life is wasted then what would be the impact of getting older? it is a scary thought that one day i will totally be incapacitated because of old age but what is important is the legacy one has. the young generation has that to learn.

Actually, i don't hide my age to anyone. They just have to do it nicely, when they ask and nobody to hear it, except themselves. I am proud that at my age we now have a daughter who recently graduated cumlaude in UP Manila and is now having a full scholarship by St. Luke's on her Medicine studies. I think, when i was nearing my 30's and still single, i am sensitive with my age. But not, when i got married already.

I always state my precise age. The number of years you have lived is just a fact -- not something to be otherwise concerned about. Maturity is a different issue. It sounds as if you might want to consider counseling to develop more self-confidence.
