I turned 40 today.
My body feels like shit. My mind feels the same as it did when I was 14; confused and horny.
How did you speedrun aging bro?
It was in the water back in the 80s
Can confirm same situation
Part of me wants to go live in the woods and forget about society. The other part is frantically trying to prepare for the rising threat of fascism spreading to my country. I'm getting pretty good at selectively dissociating.
I mean, living in the woods is a great way of figuring out just how much or how little you actually value a social life.
More than previously thought was the answer for me.
I'm in my thirties and physically I'm ok, but it's getting tougher mentally with each year passed. Job takes most of the time and it's harder to genuinely connect with people the older you get. Whe I was a kid or teenager I could simply start a conversation with a peer and become friends in a matter of minutes. Not it takes weeks, because everyone's working and has families. Getting older sucks
If it makes you feel better, it doesn't get much worse than where you're at now in terms of socialization.
A lot of people spend years wearing about what other people are saying and thinking about them. When you hit your forties you realize nobody's saying or thinking anything about you at all, You're too busy dealing with their own slice of hell.
I just woke up physically tired from sleep. Not in a "I'm sleepy" kind of way, in a "did I just run a fucking marathon why am I in so much pain" kind of way.
I didn't ask for life.
Did you ever get checked for sleep apnea or similar conditions?
One of the symptoms is waking up and feeling like a bulldozer just ran you over.
I have a condition that causes me to only get good sleep on my side, but if I sleep on my side for more than a couple hours that side really starts to ache. So yeah I'm with you
I got my dream job on a clandestine hacking team, but my new sedentary lifestyle is killing my knees
What about us born in 1980-1990?

Thank you for citing your meme!
Be the change yadda yadda
Never stopped exercising so my body works fine. That's all that works though.
Never started so my body sucks. I wish gym class had homework then maybe I'd have learned to not be fat and lazy.
I stopped for a bit. Lemme tell you, real hard to get back on it. Fortunately been back on for a bit now too, and regardless, some aches and pains are just there, and that's that!
You're still ahead of the game.
I feel so far behind, but I also compare 37 year old me to 27, and 25, and 23 year old me, and I was always in such good shape that I think j took it for granted. But it's never too late to start, or to restart, or to unstop.
To shreds
I've been walking the mall for 45 minutes and my knees are begging to be removed from this mortal prison.
People born in 2005 are now 20 years old and I'm not okay.
If it helps, many of them won't have had their birthday yet, so they'll still be 19.
So if we get rid of them all before they age up, everything will be OK.
Fucking bad for all the wrong reasons, ngl.
My back gets sore everyonce in a while. Other than that life is good
In my thirties and I've got some creaks here and there, what all have you guys been doing to your bodies? Usually stuff like this is only when I go too wild at amateur wrestling night as the Shrieking Spud
Please tell me you have a catchphrase as the Shrieking Spud!😮
There are lots of good things to say: "I've got my eyes on you", "This deep fryer ain't big enough for the two of us", "You couldn't mash me if you tried", "I hope you like your hair starched". I also put potatoes in my bra to hand to people, they would fly out when I got thrown around too
LMAO! Potatoes in yer bra is funny, but surely you're bruised all to hell after a match!
Mentally inoperative
IDK I was born in the 80s and I feel pretty much the same as when I was 16. Someone born in 1990 is 35, not exactly a dinosaur...
