Is it normal to feel old in your mid. and late twenties ?

Am i the ONLY one around who feels "old" at 29 ?!, i see people especially girls turning 26 and 28 and 29 and they are still happy and youthful yet i felt like i am getting old when i reached 26 + , actually is it normal to start to feel like you are getting old at 26 /27 and lie about your age in your twenties ?

    After eighteen the years go fast, very fast. I don't feel old but I feel so different from girls who are only five years younger

    Its normal to feel old but why lie about age? Unless you look like the crypt keeper...

    I think a lot of people feel old prematurely because (1) they overeat, get fat (2) they don't exert themselves enough (3) they stop trying and learning new things (3) they just get in a rut. Avoid those behaviors and you'll still feel young when you're an old coot. And that's not so bad!

    age has no real meaning in adult life. appearance, iq, maturity... it should carry some respect, but then you meet some 50 year old idiot.

    It's normal, but you really aren't "old".

    I am 20 and I feel old, mainly because of how I see my peers live.

    I already have a full time job and I am already worried about my credit score, I already pay bills HELL, in a few months, I will have LIFE INSURANCE! At 20! While my peers are worried about their parties and their homework, I have so much more on my plate than that and it makes me feel old as hell, especially when I talk to them about MY problems and listen to THEIRS. They're thinking about dates and relationships and I am thinking about health insurance.

    My husband is the opposite. He is 28 and he says he doesn't feel old at all.

    I have a coworker who just turned 27. He gets upset whenever you joke around and call him old. I don't understand why, you're not even middle aged until your 40s.

    Do fun stuff, you'll feel younger.

    I feel old because I can't live life the way I'd like right now, that's probably your problem.

  • Can't help you out here much (I'm 21) but I do feel old when I visit my ophthalmologist. Everyone is 45+, mostly elderly. I've gone in and been given odd stares and a "Are you sure you're in the right place?" hehe.
