I'm 31 and I usually still feel young and fun (though not really hip; I've never been really hip). But watching the Olympics is making me feel old! Especially these tiny gymnasts who were born well into the 90s!
I feel the same way when I watch college basketball and when I watch certain TV shows when almost the entire cast is younger than I am (like Happy Endings!).
How about you? What, if anything, makes you feel old?

I'm also 31 and I feel old only in the sense that I feel tired and worn out. When I'm out having coffee with a friend and talking about what guy she went out with this week, I feel young and cool again

Hahaha:D yes! I was thinking of starting a Danny glover 'I'm too old for this sh*t!' thread! I'm 28, but sometimes I feel oooooooold! I see some of my high school friends younger siblings are getting married and having babies, makes me feel old. I also can't party like I used to! If I stay up past 1am, I feel lousy the next day

I feel old only because I'm such a grandma now. I'd take naps at anytime in the day if I could. Any going out doesn't interest me. On the other hand I feel young to be 29 married with a house and two kids.

Yes, I said the same thing to DH yesterday that I feel so old because I am so much older than most of the olympic athletes!

The only time I've ever felt old was when the mom of the kids I used to babysit sent me a wedding congrats card last year and included new pictures of her kids. Those "kids" I used to babysit are now in university!

Yes...young and old. I can remember my first year teaching I was teaching kids who were born in 88/89...but now I am teaching kids who are born in like 97/98 or later and it is so weird!

Yes! I dont feel old mentally, but then I realize I'm 32 and that seems like an old number. But I do feel old physically with lots of aches and pains.

I always feel old. Very, very old. Well, I feel my age, which is 31. Which I always thought of as old when I was younger. The only times I feel younger than my age are when I'm laughing and flirting with Wagon Sr.

I'll be 32 in 2 days and no, not really. I definitely feel like an adult now, but not old. DH is 11 years my senior, so that might be part of it too!

I don't feel 30. And sometimes I still think it's crazy that I have kids!

My body also just doesn't feel the same at 30 as it did at 22. My knees hurt, my back aches and I have to stretch before any sort of exercise!

I feel my age. I don't feel like a spring chicken, but I'm feeling OK at 34.

I always feel old.
I get bad migraines so I'm always taking lots of meds, have to have an early bed time, cant take loud music or noises, etc. They make me old.
Also my friends aren't married and don't have babies so they talk about things like traveling and going to bars. And I'm sitting there thinking "did lo poo yet today? " things like that make me feel old.

I feel old when talking TTC stuff (on HB and otherwise) so try to ignore my age (34) in those moments. But otherwise not so much...

I only feel old sometimes. Life circumstances can sometimes make me feel ancient. Not often, though. I'm young, in great health, and have a wonderful life. Other people may be getting older, but I feel like I'm just getting better.

Yes and no. I feel old when I see my cousins/friends all younger then me got married way earlier then I did and having kids. Some are younger and done with kids and we are only 7 weeks with our first. Then again, sometimes I think am I really old enough to be having kids??!!
