I have learned the difference between “your” and “you’re”.
For me, it’s correcting people that.
I guess I’m still growing as a person
I don’t heal as fast anymore. Cuts and scrapes turn into scars easier.

You start correcting people when they say “your” instead of “you’re” :-)
I find it takes much, much longer to heal from injury. That’s the main downside I’ve experienced. When I say longer - when about 8 yo I broke my arm, it took 5-6 weeks to heal, maybe 10 to really heal, stop swelling ever and feel exactly like the other. When about 45 I broke my finger and it took 2 years to fully heal and feel like the rest of them.
But it also takes longer to get mad, I’m less irritable, more perspective I guess. Easier to feel happy/satisfied, too, it’s closer to the surface now.
My what?
TURN UP YOUR HEARING AIDS OLD TIMER
All pro athletes are younger than me. Except maybe a hockey player or two.
Completely walking away from sports you followed with passion your whole life because you just aren’t interested in learning the next crop of pros. Also, you know the way money and politics and other things force things in sport and it takes the fun out of it…same can be said for music.
Back pain
Deadlifts fixed my back pain completely. Ymmv.
thanks, i’m trying with swimming now, hopefully it’ll help
That you are alive is the surest sign.
Worrying that every unexpected pain in your body will be cancer.
I’ve been like that since 15, that’s just being a hypochondriac.
For me it clicked when pretty girls started tallking and being nice to me
It’s probably because you stopped caring so much and acting awkwardly around them
It is! Hence the realization that I got older. Sorry, re-reading my comment above I wasn’t clear
“You’ve exited the dating pool but aren’t in old adult territory yet”, someone I’ve heard describe it once.
Finding grey hair in your beard. The first time I started to feel older was once I found a couple grey hair in my beard. None in my hair, just beard
Nah you’re not really old until you find grey hair in your pubes
Haha, thanks!
Your first gray pube.
What age?
For me sometime soon after 40.
Your perception and outlook on time changes a lot.
Everything seems to go by faster. Waiting for something doesn’t seem that bad when it’s in terms of days instead of hours, weeks instead of days, months instead of weeks, years instead of months.
When making long term plans, “how long you think you’ll live” becomes more and more of a factor.
Making interjections when standing up, from a chair, from bed, getting out from your car seat, etc …
Preposterous!
School dreams are very rare now, and when I have them the “cast” is all people from various adult jobs. I never knew my actual school mates as adults, so I guess my brain just can’t fill it in. If I was actually transported back to high school and saw them again it would probably feel like being surrounded by babies, so makes sense that “central casting” sends in adult stand-ins.
I’m always an adult too. What’s weird is I remember being a child. I remember my body being clumsy and awkward, I remember being confused by adult concepts, I remember being small. It never comes out in childhood dreams, I’m always my present age.
