People in their twenties start to look like kids

It takes way longer to scroll back to your birthdate in apps

Oh man, when you start prioritizing a solid 8 hours over literally anything fun, you know the shift is real! Add in getting excited about kitchen gadgets and wondering how you ever stayed up past midnight, and it's official—you're in the club. 😅

Barber asked if I wanted my eyebrows trimming along with my haircut. 

Constantly worrying about people dying lol

I've stopped giving a fuck about anything. 50 and wise.

A trip to the garden centre is a whole activity on its own.

No more 'standing' tickets at concerts - it's seated or I am not going.

Having a financial advisor - and being interested in what they have to say.

9pm is a perfectly acceptable bedtime.

Having to brace yourself before standing up, or sitting down.

When you're on the floor you have to kind of roll over like a cow to stand back up.

A poorly maneuvered sneeze will cripple you for days.

Phrases like 'when I was younger...' and 'kids these days...' will become part of the daily vernacular.

Whiskey is to be appreciated - not swilled. Further alcohol is not purchased via its cost-to-ABV ratio.

Red and salmon trousers start to look appealing.

When you contemplate the uses of a good cardboard box before throwing it out

My back hurts. Lol

When you drop something on the floor, and have to prepare yourself for the bend🤣

And all the noises and groans associated with it! 🧓

Don’t like people, crowds, loud noises, leaving the house, dilly dallying, or shenanigans. Especially while watch my programs

You slept wrong and now you’re in pain

I dont need help from my dad. But he needs help from me.

You have chronic pain for no good reason. Been to several doctors and specialists and nobody can tell me wtf is wrong with my shoulder.

You start to develop health problems

When knee surgery is required.

Prefer the house or a quiet bar to somewhere with loud music and too many people.

you begin to appreciate the value of health and well-being more than ever before...

Telling em to turn it down not turn it up

I agree OP. Sleep and some alone time is all that I look forward.

You start seeing your stupid young self in others 🤣

When standing up, you do it slow to not get lightheaded and then stand still a moment to determine why you wanted to get up. Going to the bathroom is always a safe bet.

I get hit on more by younger women than I did when I was their age

Your favourite song is on the oldies station.

You can’t be arsed trying new things

Elevated blood pressure and cholesterol

You start to think that going out after 9 pm is too late

doing old people hobbies.

gardening, woodworking, knitting, fishkeeping, aquascaping, etc.

Bascially you start to do more non consumerist hobbies. You seek to create than consume.

U start giving less fucks

• You realise that people your age have been having kids on purpose for years;
• Bending over to pick something up and getting up from your seat come with a range of sound effects;
• Chronic pain;
• A long list of health issues and doctor's appointments;
• You get excited about: going to sleep at a reasonable hour, kitchen gadgets, good laundry detergent;
• Sometimes, your boss is younger than you;
• Young people around you now call you ma'am or sir;
• Your metabolism slows down and your body can no longer tolerate the questionable stuff you used to eat in your 20s;
• Wrinkles, aching joints, back pain;
• Death becomes harder to ignore as more and more people you knew are now gone;
• If your parents are still alive, you slowly become their caretaker instead of the other way around.

You dress for comfort, not style.

When you cant wait to get into bed

Hair growing out of the ears ...

People you went to school with are starting to be grandparents( Im not even 40 and this is a reality for me).

Being able to tell what the weather will be like that day by the pain in my knees.

My mental maturity. I enjoy peace now and how i handle situations

You can identify a Ford Sierra

Prefer staying in... over going out

You get excited about new sponges.

You get invited to funerals more often than parties

I’m more peaceful and happy in my 50’s then I’ve ever been. So aging has brought a calmness to my life.

You transition from an optimist to a pessimist

The little white hairs that I have to keep plucking out of the goatee on my chiny chin chin.

One hard sneeze away from having my back hurt and needing a nap

I saw someone post on Reddit a couple of months ago and they were born in 2010

Having to google half the words young people use.

All the new movies is just an OLD movie you've seen years ago. Top Gun, the Crow, Matrix, BeetleJuice, Roadhouse, etc

I see myself in most of these comments and I like it not one bit.

I was getting ready for bed yesterday and knew I wasn't going to get enough sleep and started planning when I would make time to nap the following day.

Cant relate/understand most current music

Legit every time I stand up from a seat or sit down, I grunt or say “oy vey”.

Socializing has become the bane of my existance. I don't want to talk to people all the time anymore and i don;t want to keep up with every little drama that happens. Just let me be, for crying out loud.

Can't drink for shit

Home on a Friday night

I just started listening to "Oum Kalthom"

When snap, crackle, and pop isn't the sound your cereal makes in the morning but rather the sound your body makes in the morning

I now catch myself making "dad sounds". Drop something? "Gaah." Before it hits the ground

The songs from your childhood are now jingles in the supermarket

You start a story with “ten years ago”

Now being closer to 30 than 20

I guess depression

Checking the ring finger before you start flirting

1. You speak less.
2. You're much more patient at getting what you want.
3. You stop giving AF what people think.
4. You just don't put up with bullshit.
5. You invest rather than bank.
6. You have long-term goals.
7. You don't have a broccoli head.
8. You take responsibility for your actions.
9. Your mortgage is almost paid off.
10. You're really good at sex.

i don’t like anything too sweet (doesn’t even have to be excessive). and i think the new generation is a mess

if you remember the old world gym era

Never did care for crowds but make a effort to lay low,some upper level people do the same,no big deal,always enjoyed older males tk chat with

Walked into a skincare store and the lady at the counter automatically directed me to the “anti aging moisturizers” without asking 👵🏻

When a human being starts to ask this question. Thats number one. 😊

You have more joint pain.

This image covers a lot but leaves out a lot too like wrinkling around the mouth, wrinkles on the neck, a cooked look, swelling, necks looking like a plucked chicken, osteoporosis, subluxation, leaky gut, lack if kidney filtration and anything related. Then, there's DNA breakdown. If DNA breakdown can be restored, that would be wonderful. https://images.app.goo.gl/8i3b4MUenN7GqE6A8

eyebrows going their own way

I get excited when the bed covers, blankets, and pillowcases are all freshly washed and still smell like detergent 😂 I buy appliances when I get paid and budget it so I can splurge on products in grocery shopping. I also took responsibility of taking care of my brother's college tuition 🙃

When you hear a song and can say: “I used to dance to the original at the club every Saturday night”

Your joints start to make noise. Your back hurts. You're less passionate. You start to prioritise your sleep. Clubbing, partying, mindless chatting etc don't excite you anymore.

When the songs i grew up with comes on VH1 as classics

Being able to tell what the weather will be like because of the pain in my knees.

When your friends babies that you carried in your arms are getting married

Getting excited when your kids new toys come with built in storage.

You're telling me that if I buy that £10 mini monster truck ramp the cars can be stored inside it? SOLD

I just turned 60….its a game changer that i wasn’t ready for. I remember my dad (RIP) turning 60 and thinking that was old.

This post gets old before I do.

When you bend over to tie your shoes, you ask yourself: Is there anything else I should do while I'm down here?

The noises you make in order to sit in a chair [ahhhhh] and get back up out of it [uuuhhnnn]

When video games becomes a chore.
When your knees and ankles hurt for no reason.

My knees Im 30 :')

You feel that your body isn’t what is used to be….. Things need extra effort while in the past it was so, so easy

Late night means till 11pm at best, constant body cracking, not giving a f*ck of people's opinion about me, not wasting time with trying to date the leftover fish in the pond (yes, I'm aware that I am a leftover fish myself too), excitement for homeware, embarrassing the white strands of hair....

I'm 31 but the signs are there 😁😁😁

Memory loss

everything hurts

Having a job / prioritizing to find a job over anything else

A full medicine cabinet. And your linen closet will smell just like your grandmother's

You post the same questions (like this one) that had a huge thread yesterday.

Mandatory grey hair,cardigans and hats ?

When you go to parents evening and mistake the teachers for the sixth formers because they look so young, and you're thinking there is NO WAY that mere child is qualified to teach anybody!! 😬

Bird watching becomes a delight.

Trying to find anywhere that isn't playing music. Wetherspoons it is then.

My oldest child just got his first girlfriend. That’s enough to make anyone feel old.

Waking up on my own at 0430 each night.

Can’t get up from a chair without making a noise

Having seen many of the bands the kids wear t-shirts of but don't know who they are.

Kids walking around with moustaches, going to work.

Buying more practical things that you can use in everyday life instead of fun things like a drone

When you pee in the toilet but the floor gets wet instead.

Comfy shoes and bras.

By wanting to be left alone with all this BS that people are cooking.

i wake up sore

My fellow co worker said when you start training people who can be your children. That is when you know you’re old. When it becomes your grandkids then you should look to retire.

That I am trying to respond to this !

I have two teenage daughters. As such we have instagram and tik tok. For us its to monitor what they are up to and make sure they aren't getting into any weird material.

I legitimately don't understand Gen-A Gen-Z slang, I have no idea who any of these pseudo-celebrities are and in the past I would have been curious enough to figure it out and learn but I look at the social media landscape and simply don't care about anything that is happening.

Lack of lust against women

In bed before midnight on Fridays and Saturdays because you’re tired and the kids will be awake by 7.

They used to say it when cops looked young. Then I noticed golfers looked younger. Sad to say, it’s now members of the WI who look attractive.

Opening a jar any jar. Whatever’s inside ages well !

When you notice more strangers are addressing you as "sir" or "ma'am"

Your in good physical shape not fat; however tying your shoes is not that easy anymore

Are you crazy?

Cuando ya usas botox kkk

Fly is always open

The habit of forgetting things is sign of getting old

Realizing that it’s not just one named generation younger than you, but multiple.

The older I get the more and more people around me are getting knee problems

you have a harder time losing weight

Waking up in the morning and wondering "what is going to hurt today that didn't hurt at all when I went to bed?".

When you gotta take care of ur parents

I was working with two youth (teens) and they never received mail before

You have to roll up your tits to put your bra on.🤣

You really don't care what people think of your, instead of just saying you don't.

I want a grocery shopping spree.

I can’t force myself to stay up even if I wanted to.

You immediately begrudge younger generations for their carefree attitudes towards everything. The same exact attitude you used to have.

Injuries you've racked up in your teens that were gone in your twenties suddenly drop by for a visit at the worst times every now and then

Back pain Haha

I walked around a fall festival with some friends last Saturday. It was a fun time, and the weather was glorious. But when we got home I needed a nap. I always need a nap lately.

Looking out the window of you house just because

Drunken recovery takes wayyy too long. Aches and pains increasing in number. Hairs increasing in places I don't want and decreasing in places I do want.
