Fancy yourself as an agony aunt? Add your answer to this question! A
reader, anonymous, writes (28 February 2009): I'm 58 years old, and I still act like a kid! I refuse to consider myself old! I work with 3 & 4 year olds just so I can be with my peers! LOL
Seriously, I do remember turning 30. It was difficult! Actually, it was more difficult than turning 40, or even 50. But I don't know...60 is going to be a bitch!!!!
I believe age is a state of mind! If you tell yourself you are old, you will feel old.
Relax...the best in life is yet to come!

 Willow, when was the last time you saw your GP?

In your teens, you're still a kid (legally and otherwise... ugh). In your 20s, you're just new to the "real world" and getting your bearings, finding a job/career and figuring out who you are in this world of adults, etc.
But in your 30s, man oh man. Party time! You have the advantage of looking like you're in your 20's, but with the sophistication and wisdom that comes with being older. You couldn't pay me to repeat my 20s again. I was still filled with all of my teenage angst until my late 20s, and then I finally came into my own and being my own person.
Now, that said, if you are who I think you are, consider this: on the whole, people live into their 90's. My grandmother is 102, going on 103 this year. That's at least 60 years to get your life going the way you want it to. Double the amount of time you've been on this earth. So, what are you waiting for? Get moving!
On the other hand, you could be crossing the street and get hit by a bus, so the same thing holds true. What are you waiting for? Get moving! Its as long or as short as you make it.

Now, the question is: why do you care what others think and feel? Does this have any correlation to that other thread you posted recently on how you can deal with being single at 30? If that isn't you, then well it isn't you, but if it IS you, then my gosh, go out some more instead of getting stuck in this tomb you're digging yourself into. The more you think about stuff like this, the more you're going to bury yourself in this misery you may have.

I'd regard it as a 'mature' age. You're not a young adult anymore, but nor have you yet reached early middle-age (circa late 30s onwards).

 My sister is 31, 3 kids, married for 7 years, but she is a total hottie! most of it is just her attitude. She isn't afraid to be smart and witty, or ditzy, or to laugh at anything and joke with her kids. She jsut stays young at heart, and that really seems to be what makes people view her as young.

I'd love to be 32 again. It's young to me. I guess it feels old to you, though. I'm going to guess that it doesn't matter how many people tell you it's young, or that age is relative, you've decided it's old.
To a 10 year old, it's old. To a 48 year old like me, it's young. I feel young, by the way. I'm in pretty good shape; I'm taking care of myself. Are you?

 I don't think of 32 as old. Mind you, I'm only 20, but still! I have people in my regular circle of friends who are older than that, and they're some of the coolest "kids" I know!

 It depends on how old a person is, and how they feel about themself, and their life. I understand what you are saying, but I'm now 47, with 50 lurking around the corner..and yeah,I could freak out about it, but I'm not going to..People can be and do whatever they want at ANY age..its all a number. If you chose to think its old..then yes, its old..if you chose to look at it as experience, gaining wisdom..then no, its not old.I personally wouldn't want to be in my 20's again...Embrace what age you are sweetie..again..age is JUST a number!
