Hints that you're getting older

[XDravond]

Pwhaa I'm not had that feeling yet... Much thanks to the kid(~15 or so) knocking on the door wanting to sell stuff and asked if my parents where home, I'm over 20 with a bunch of years to spare.. It might been something to do with still having my "morning hair"... (when I closed the door I couldn't help laughing really hard...)

But I have used the one classic sentence that almost put you in "stone-age old.." directly: "When I was a kid..." When I realized I just said that I felt really old...

When you wake up and think about how you're going to get through the month and not how you're going to pick up chicks/play pranks/play sports.

When I looked at a picture of myself and saw a bit more of my dad in me...

Male pattern baldness did it for me.

My paternal grandfather was bald on top, my father's bald on top, two of my paternal uncles are bald on top... Genetically, it was pretty much written on my forehead that I'd be bald on top. It was just a question of when it would begin to be visible.

Well, the top of my head is almost entirely gone, and my hairline has receded quite a bit. I'm 28, and I started to notice I was going bald around, oh, my eighteenth year or so?

Add to that that with every passing year, I'm looking more and more like my father. The end result is that I'm 28 and dreading my thirties.

Fun, huh?

Shave it and own it, a lot of women find shaved heads sexy. Unless it's an odd lumpy head.

When i see kids in my family who i changed diapers for start to date. I feel old. Oh and my favorite movies are now at least 10 years old.

Already shaving it. I'm Steve Jobs-ing it, but I'd like to go Andre Agassi at some point. I'm just afraid I'll spend a fortune on shaving cream.

I was doing that at 18 so i dont think that does it. Iv never been a sports or picking up chicks kinda guy. All my girlfriends have always been the ones who kick my ass to do things, the way i like it.

When I had to explain what a "cartridge" was to a current gamer.

I first realized I was becoming an adult when the judge told me "Were trying you as an adult"

My last birthday, when my family started to call me an old man for turning 30. They were joking, but it still hit home...

It was supposed to be a secret, but they're going to put you in a home soon.

I have a few grey hairs, which I have to pill out every time I get my hair cut. Also, standing or walking for long periods of time makes my ankles and knees hurt.

I cannot binge for more than one night and feel ok. 2 nights maybe, providing I eat well and don't mind feeling like death for about a week after. Once upon a time in my first year of uni, I could do almost 2 weeks of constant nights out.

 

[holy_secret]

I hate the crap they're playing on the radio.
I can't party all day and night and be expected to work properly the day afterwards.
My beard is finally growing

I have to pay bills and stuff and generally need to think about my economical situation all the time.

 

[PunkyMcGee]

People don't get my referential humor, anymore. That's my sign.

 

[Blow_Pop]

if i don't get enough sleep my body rebels. if i get too much sleep my body rebels. and my body is starting to reject me eating too much sugar. not to mention bad back, bad ankles, bad knees, and my eyesight is starting to get worse(damn it i'm only 26 it shouldn't be this bad yet!) and i can't do long gaming sessions anymore

Don't worry, 25 to 27 years old is the time when your body starts giving you the signs that you are getting older. It's not only the body that starts rejecting long gaming sessions, your mind starts reminding you that you most likely have better things to do or you really could use some rest.

I was more referring to the fact of me not being able to walk up stairs very well anymore. Anything more than 10 stairs and I have a lot of issues

I realized I'm starting to get old when I noticed that I have knees. They creak and groan and are just in general noticeable. Which never happened in my early twenties or before. It's a strange feeling.

The other thing that makes me feel older is when I see 19-22ish people as "kids" still. Yikes.
