When did you first feel old?

Dont get me wrong, I'm not old and I know it but I think a lot of us are starting to have or have had moments when other people have made you feel like your not young anymore.

The first time it happened to me was last year when I came to pick my mum up from work, she works in a primary school (kindergarten), kids started asking my Mum who that 'man' was and were amazed I was her son.

More recently its when I serve alcohol to the kids born in 1993 who have just turned 18.

when I realized I'd become the same age as the older women I liked when I was younger

PogoLightning on May 17 '11 at 8:19pm

when several of my friends are now engaged, married, or raising babies.

and when people who are probably my age, or maybe a couple years younger call me ma'am....really? ma'am?

When on American Idol they sang songs from their birth year and Casey Abrams sang Smells Like Teen Spirit.

I bought that album on TAPE fercryinoutloud

I had a panic attack on my tenth birthday that I was getting old and going to die soon.

In the last couple years, when I notice that all these new A-list actresses are younger than me. Megan Fox is only 25?

Also, this:

WarDrobeInSpareOom on May 17 '11 at 8:52pm

Megan Fox looks 35.

WarDrobeInSpareOom on May 17 '11 at 8:54pm

Also, I saw the Little Mermaid three times in the theater.

Bio-bot 9000 on May 17 '11 at 9:00pm

Yesterday was Megan Fox's birthday. she was 24 before that.

When I was 19 my back almost gave out, which was really weird and depressing and made me feel old. I don't feel old as much as I feel like there are a lot of little retarded people running around. I think the age group I am in right now is just about the best one. People don't look at me like I'm going to break shit when I go into a fancy store, but I'm still relatively cute and wrinkle-free and old guys still call me "sweetheart."

inkdummy on May 18 '11 at 1:13pm

When it started hurting just if I slept for too long. Bodyaches in general are a painful reminder.

Kookaberry on May 18 '11 at 1:14pm

Also, in 2003, when I realized Robin Hood, Men in Tights was a decade old, it freaked me out. Now it's nearly 20 years old and I somehow care less. HAHA.

I think there's this hump in your very late teens and early 20s where you feel old and then you get into your late 20s and you actually feel less old in a way. Cause you remember your thinking a few years prior and going "gosh, if only I WAS 22 years old!" and realize that you're still in your 20s and it's not so bad. And you have more friends in their 30s and 40s and you laugh at them.

One of my better friends is my mom's age and sometimes I tease him about it, but not too much cause he gets all sad.

Kookaberry on May 18 '11 at 1:16pm

One last thought and I'll shut up. I stopped feeling old when I stopped feeling like a kid or like I was still a teenager. There's a psychological difference between feeling basically like an overaged teenager and feeling like a young adult. And I don't mean young adult in the "that section in the library" sense.

tracerbullet on May 18 '11 at 1:18pm

the 90s were over 11 years ago :(

Orbanya on May 18 '11 at 1:22pm

Went I got pushed off a deck and damaged my spine. Now I feel 20 years older than I am.

WarDrobeInSpareOom on May 18 '11 at 1:28pm

On Mother's Day, I was helping kids make cookie cakes for their moms, and there was an old man and a young girl, and he asked how long I'd be decorating cakes, I said seven and a half years, they were both shocked. Apparently, they both thought I was 20, at the oldest.

So, do I feel old sometimes? Yep. But I don't look it, and that's neat.

Orbanya on May 18 '11 at 1:28pm

when*

Torakamikaze on May 18 '11 at 1:29pm

When my girlfriend's son referred to Nintendo 64 as "Original nintendo"

citizen rifferson on May 18 '11 at 1:31pm

one thing that makes me feel kinda old (even though I'm not old at all really) is that i tend to get less excited about stuff, i get flashbacks of when I was in my teens and i would get so hyped up over going to gigs, discovering new music and whatever..

littlem on May 18 '11 at 1:33pm

when i told my friend that i did not attend my 25 year high school reunion.

spacesick on May 18 '11 at 1:33pm

I can legally have sex with someone born in 1993

spacesick on May 18 '11 at 1:33pm

brb

Torakamikaze on May 18 '11 at 1:35pm

Instead of doing cool skateboard tricks, I compare prices of low fat yogurt

ir0cko on May 18 '11 at 1:36pm

when my memory started to waste away

gumbolimbo on May 18 '11 at 1:37pm

when sony announced the retirement of the walkman. I mean, i remember when it was BORN!

myteemo on May 18 '11 at 1:42pm

When I was 23, a 15 year girl asked how old I was. When I told her, her response was, "That's not tooooooo old", so I started planning my retirement.

Torakamikaze on May 18 '11 at 1:44pm

I remember when Mitch and I had are watches set to when the Olsen Twins turned 18, so we could legally watch It Takes Two as a gay couple

mezo on May 18 '11 at 1:51pm

When I started to like tapioca puddn.

Torakamikaze on May 18 '11 at 1:54pm

WHATIF?!

spacesick on May 18 '11 at 1:58pm

mezo and tora, do you guys remember when I got so old that I made a The State reference?

I don't!

Torakamikaze on May 18 '11 at 2:09pm

It's like when watching those live action Shelly Duvall fairy tales wasn't a trend, but was a lifestyle

sonmi on May 18 '11 at 2:23pm

I am so mad that Jurassic park came out 18 years ago.

Twiggyhall on May 18 '11 at 2:23pm

Many times.

But I think the scariest one for vain me is: I've been lucky to have had a younger-than-my-age-looking face but lately I'm starting to see the age and I'm beginning to think a facelift someday won't be such a bad idea.

I always thought when I was younger that I'd grow old gracefully, but now I've realized I'm probably going to fight it every inch of the way, lol

Torakamikaze on May 18 '11 at 2:24pm

I had a velociraptor jurassic park shirt

it was cooler than most things

Kookaberry on May 18 '11 at 2:32pm

Remember when Bart was all "eat my shorts"?

sonmi on May 18 '11 at 2:36pm

ME TOO STEVE. it said "rap attack"

Torakamikaze on May 18 '11 at 2:37pm

I also had a bart shirt that said "Rebel without a cause" on it and had bart skateboarding away from homer shaking his fist

i probably had them on shirts

Torakamikaze on May 18 '11 at 2:41pm

WarDrobeInSpareOom on May 18 '11 at 2:42pm

I remember when "Doin' the Bartman" premiered on TV.

Torakamikaze on May 18 '11 at 2:43pm

I remember watching it on The Box

deep space monkey on May 18 '11 at 2:47pm

With the new "Dark Knight Rises" coming out, I've officially been excited for, and anticipated 7, count that, SEVEN fucking batman movies.

To you youngin's raised on harry potter seven movies doesn't mean shit, but seven batmans...

mezo on May 18 '11 at 2:50pm

Mtv used to exclusively play music videos. True story, kids. Then, late at night, they'd air a show called Liquid Television. Which was awesome.

deep space monkey on May 18 '11 at 2:51pm

Freshman year of college I took a music business class, one assignment was to watch the premier episode of "American Idol" so we could talk about the projected effect it would have on the music industry.

That shit is in it's 10th season...

nickv47 on May 18 '11 at 2:52pm

I remember when CD's ruled my life. I also remember when cassettes ruled my life. I used to have a big pile of cassettes on my car seat when I drove to HS, 13 years ago. :O

Haha! I remember when TRL came out, and I was like "shit! they're not going to just show random videos anymore, it's gonna be a top 10?"

nickv47 on May 18 '11 at 2:53pm

@mezo and also 120min every sunday night. That was amazing. MTV is just a channel of sadness to me now.

Torakamikaze on May 18 '11 at 2:58pm

Kurt Loder told me everything I needed to know

and Matt Pinfield reminded me that all large bald dudes have wrestling voices
