      I’ve been like that since 15, that’s just being a hypochondriac.

    I don’t heal as fast anymore. Cuts and scrapes turn into scars easier.

          Pretty simple. My nuts are giant, hang low, and have their own sentience. They’re also easily entertained by interfering with anything they can.

          Right now, they’re the ones typing this, two letters at a time ahahahahahahahahah! Testicle power!

    Vision. It gets hard to read in low light, driving at night is tough, you can’t quite figure out how close or far to hold a book or phone.

    Alcohol. You just don’t shake it off like you did when you were younger. Now you really think about whether that next drink will be worth the shitty sleep.

    Money. You talk about property taxes and 401k contributions more often than you ever thought you would.

    Patience. You’re more patient with kids and your parents, and way less patient with everything else.

      Memory and visual attention when you get closer to 60. You can’t remember all 10 digits of a new phone number with an unfamiliar area code; often one of the 4 last numbers will end up transposed with a neighbor. Visual attention: looking on your garage shelves or cupboards for an item and not seeing it even though it’s in plain sight.

        Is it not normal? This describes me perfectly and I’m not even 30 yet. (Well in a few months I won’t be able to say that anymore, but still)

    One of the biggest and most terrible things that ever happened to my province, which CONSUMED everything for a long time back when I was a teenager and people still talk about very passionately to this day, well meeting someone who has NO idea what this is makes me feel old.

    definately physical pain on stuff you used to do on the regular. Had a job were I would get impatient waiting for a delivery and would jump off the dock to go check if I could see the truck. A little after I got into my thirties I jumped off one day and just stopped and stood still in a crouched position for a bit. I never “felt” the landing like I did that day before. It was the sart of what would be a long line of things I would cease to do.

      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.

    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

      Quite the opposite.
