How old do you feel versus how old you are in years? Do you feel your age, feel older than your years, or more youthful?
Have a great weekend and stay safe in the topical storm!

What can I do next?

S.:

I feel like I'm in my late 20's early 30's and I'm just a few years away from 50. I don't care about the number. I care about how I feel.

At least 10 years younger - it shrinks depending on how much gray shows up before I color my roots. :) I always feel a little zippier right after I make the gray go away LOL.

The more grownup my life and responsibilities get, the more urgently I start looking over my shoulder, waiting for the real grownups to take over.

It's going to be a hot day, so right now, while I'm cool from watering the garden: mid-late 30s. Later, when I'm sweaty from trucking around with Kiddo outside, I'm pretty sure I'm going to feel every single year of my 42 years. And then I will make myself a gin and tonic and try to forget all about it!

Generally I feel 10 years younger than my chronological age. I recently caught myself considering signing up for an event that was for people up to the age of 18. Then it occured to me I was more than double that age and I got really sad :( My kids just howled laughing of course!

It depends, ha!

When I am at work, not old enough for retirement.
When I am with my little one, not young enough to keep up.
When hubby and I are at a concert...21!
When I am out with friends, it depends on how old my friends are.
When I am dealing with my older sister, like the bigger sister.

answers from Boston on

Well I've never been older than I am so it's hard to say, right? But I know what you mean. I'm 38. I think I feel 38, because I don't know what else 38 would feel like. I definitely don't feel like a teenager or 20-something.

I have to say that I'm noticing age a bit more - sometimes I think "I'm only 30-something why do I get achy so easily?" and then I realize that I'm pretty close to 40 and this is probably normal. When I don't work out for more than a few days, I start to feel stiff and have some mild pain in one hip/knee and then I feel really old. Then I work out and feel better.

answers from San Francisco on

If you ask me when I am doing ZUMBA...then I feel like a smokin' hot Latin,hip shakin' dance star in her mid 20's. I am newly turned 38 year old, off white(I have a nice California tan already) and have never taken a dance lesson in my life :)

If you ask me after I have been sitting on the floor and my knees creek,and pop when I get up then I feel about 65.

I do feel very youthful for my years..and I hope that never changes :)

No tropical storm here...just hot,hot weather coming in this weekend. Thank goodness I have a pool...that is where this M. will be!!

answers from Los Angeles on

I still feel like I am in my early 20's.
I have always felt this way.
The only thing betraying this?
Some strands of grey hair, my knees are not happy with all of my years
of exercising, jogging, some wrinkles around they eyes, my back is
starting to feel some wear & tear from all the years of moving houses,
energy level is not quite what it used to be etc.
BUT I still feel vibrant (enough), have SOME energy, look decent enough
considering.

answers from Austin on

I have to say it varies. I have a 4 1/2 mth old plus 2 more so sometimes I feel 10 - 20 yrs older. When I do the health check on Wii Fit I'm almost 10 yrs younger. After I color the gray, which I've had since I was 12, I definitely feel in my 20's. Sadly I'm only 33 almost 34 and not sure what one that age is suppose to feel like. LOL Depending on my hair color and style also makes me look different ages. LOL I need to go back to my 20s hairstyle when people would say. "You're 33...No Way!" or "You have a kid going in to middle school? Really?" Yeah I like those moments. LOL

I feel and look younger than my age 50+. I find that trying to be at peace and staying away from estranged family has helped with that.

It really just depends. I am 41 years old. Some days I feel like I am in my early 30's and other days I feel like I am around 50 years old. I need to get my body in better shape or I know my days of feeling older are right around the bend.

answers from Seattle on

I am almost 36.
I usually feel like I am in my 20's.....
Until I hang out with people in their 20's and I want to go to bed at 10pm.
I often forget that I am "mid" 30's until I am hanging out with younger parents and they say "my son is 2" and that's it. Then they ask me and I say "Oh, my kids are 10, 7, and 2" and I get self conscious that I have a 10 year old! LOL!

Depends on the day. Today, being 5 Months pregnant, I feel older than 36. I've also had a busy day out shopping with a whiny teenager.
