When did you realise you were getting old?

LH Pathe

I knew when the number kept increasing, yup.. I'm apparently officially getting old.. er?

What's old??

It only felt like a year or two had passed...

When I had to start tucking my balls into my socks.

The Scientician

I stopped trying to keep abreast of recent pop music.

I stopped being discerning about what type of biscuit I had with my tea. I still have favourites but once I have a nice cuppa I don't care what type of biscuit I have with it.

Getting concerned now did I too think it whilst I felt it? and consequentially looked it, too. was defo older when younger. but naive as fûck nobody be goin doing anything drastic is all I can say on the grounds of being "past it" reaching your full potential means waiting it out old man... at 21.. lol

Happened me for the first time this year.

Had a few days stubble and was about to shave after brushing my teeth and seen a bit of toothpaste on by stubbly chin on the right just below my lip but it wouldn't come off. Then I noticed the same on left just below my lip and thought: 'That's weird having two bits of dried toothpaste that won't .. ' and then it hit me .. it's white hair, I'm turning into santa claus :eek::eek:

It's quite a dramatic jump though adolescence from kid to er - kidult no wonder we tend to feel old at such a young age we need time to settle onto ourselves. once them hormones have settled and distilled it takes decades so stop trying to jump the queue, tykes..

When you go upstairs to get three items and come down with only two, then you realise you forgot the third thingamy and say to yourself "Ah feck it I'm not facing them stairs again."
That's a combination of muscle fatigue and alsheimers

Agreed, it's stupid to feel old at 21. I'm 32 and don't feel old. I do groan a bit when getting out of a deep chair, but that's just my back and lack of exercise. I'm far happier now then I was at 21.

I'm not going to fancy grannies, I'm just going to lower my standards to what is (theoretically) achievable.

I'm 21 and while I don't feel old I do have some old moments

Walking in a supermarket and a young kid walks past me, mother goes 'Watch the Lady there'. First time it happened I just stopped and went into shock. Definity means I'm getting older.

Falling asleep at 11pm - sometimes I can hardly make it to 11pm :pac:

I don't drink much anymore, personal choice really, but when I do I'm such a lightweight it's not even funny.

I'm starting to get broody - at 21!! :eek: I keep telling myself I can have kids later, but I don't want to be an old mother ahhhh, my brain is winning a loosing battle at the moment haha.

I had MTV Classic on in the background one morning last week, and I suddenly realised that I vividly remembered 3 consecutive songs being out. Very upsetting.


Also when I started needing to use jolene bleach.

I was out with a gang the other night and we were talking about our favourite supermarkets. Then we went to burger king and used our coupons.

I'll be 18 at the end of November. I love going to an off license and the sense of pride I have coming out, that you've managed to buy what you wanted. Same applies to nightclubs

Don't want to be 18 really...
