Getting older

[Argamemnon]

A lot of people here seem younger than me, I'm 33. It may sound strange but I'm happy that life passes by so quickly. I can't wait till I'm 50 or 60, I don't care about life anymore. I can't believe that I used to feel so sad about getting older and "missing out" on life. Now I see it as coming closer to death, which is great. Life is like a movie or a bad joke, but it doesn't last very long. Does anyone else feel the same?

Not really.. I'm terrified of getting old and live a wasted life. I am not old, but i feel old, and i don't want to grow up, the idea scares me.

 

[divethruhaze]

i don't want to grow up/old... as strange as it may sound, i never wanted, unlike everyone else i know
cause there is more responsibility and no going back and the possibility of a wasted life =/

No i do feel sad that i'm ''missing out on life''....I feel as though now at 28 i'm at my peak and if i don't change my life i'm basically down hill from here. I don't want to loose my hair before i even have the guts to ask a girl out. I just don't know what to do anymore.

I dont want to get old,actually,i like being young.
I'm afraid that i'm gona waste my life,i just need someone ..to teach me how to "live".

 

[Luke1993]

I sort of do......but then again I sort of don't.

Well I'm 30 now and the speed that life passes me by scares me really. I do think I am really missing out on life. I feel like I never have any real fun or enjoyment. All the things that most other people enjoy seem to bring me problems. The future scares me as well. I had a few targets that I thought I would have attained by now but am nowhere near. I'm not really looking forward to being old either.

I'm 23, and I'm happy right now...looking foward to the future. Doesn't matter to me.

getting older is a lot better than the alternative

It's understandable, but I think death, disease, and aging are three of the most troubling things in life for me. I'm 24 and I have so many things I plan on doing that I am not close to achieving... but I am working toward them.

I understand what you're saying, not the looking forward to death part but the getting older as a whole. I pray for the moments when I'll be able to settle back and hopefully enjoy a family and a secure home with a husband maybe. That's my getting older wish.

I feel as though I am missing out on life. Time seems to keep slipping away from me. I feel I should have done alot more at my age though.

 

[Walk]

I know what you mean. Hell i done enough from the age of 14 to 26 to last me a lifetime. I guess that is why it doesnt bother me as much as it does some.....some was good and some bad.

So what did ya do? I'm seriously curious, and I know it might be a simplistic question.

I'm 22 in two and a half hours. Now it does feel like I'm getting old I'm past the 21 mark lol. I've got a feeling inside me saying you're 22 its time to sort out your life. So that's what I'm going to do, hopefully. By the time I'm 23 I want my car back, a steady job, a girlfriend, some new mates and to have improved my SA a lot. They're my goals for the next year.

You mean like Benjamin Button?::

 

[LazyHermitCrab]

At any age there's somebody famous..

 

[FountainandFairfax]

It sucks getting older, but focusing on one day at a time slows things down.

 

[Jake123]

I want to cryogenically freeze myself and awaken in a future that doesn't suck and has invented some kind of anti-aging/cloning/immortality technology.

I still don't get how people were actually moved by that movie. Brad Pitt as a man baby is a pretty ****ed up concept.


Getting old doesn't bother me too much. I already feel about 15 years older in my head so another year doesn't make much difference to me. Woohoo depression

Same here... I feel exactly the same way, only I am much older at 41. I almost feel like I am in a state of panic over getting older because I want a girlfriend so much, but I lack any confidence and motivation to even consider asking out a lady. Actually I am scared beyond anything imaginable. I can seriously see myself dieing without knowing what it's like having a girl friend and all the romance that goes along with it. Just that very thought scares me too, because I want to experience everything that life has to offer, but the fear in me keeps me from doing anything about it. To say that I am frustrated and sad is an understatement.
