re: At what age did you start to consider yourself old?

Whether or not its true, when i was 26 i felt like i had plenty of time to do everything, but for some reason at 27 i started thinking maybe i should get busy.

As soon as someone comments on your bald spot and you reply with, "My what?"

Around 45... Started noticing old people skin around the eyes and neck. Sometimes you catch your reflection in a car window or something and think "damn, who the fvck is that guy"... because I didn't really feel old at the time.

When I turned 23 and moved to Dallas a week later. Contrary to what you might here around these parts some millennials don’t stay at home until they’re 50.....

Probably about 4 or 5. I was a big boy then.

I think around age 26. I had gallbladder surgery and felt like garbage for almost all of 2016. I would get irrationally angry at my neighbors at the apartment who would throw parties every Friday night until 3:00 AM when all I wanted to do was sleep.

At 28, I have my own house now, take anti-depressants for anxiety and 40MG PPI for acid reflux brought about by gallbladder removal. I'm legit tired all the time. Can't run for more than 6 minutes without feeling like death. Can barely stay awake after 10:00 PM. Use dto be up until 5 AM in my college days.

I’m in my mid 40’s and feel and act like I’m still in my 20’s for the most part

32 is when one of my buddies, due to the long, hanging on and on that year, Winter, called and talked me into Frisbee the 1st warm day that Spring.

Long story short: I leaped up to catch Frisbee under leg like always, only to have it hit me mid thigh, and then come down on 1 foot into a divot, wrenching my back, ending the day on about the 3rd toss between the 2 of us.

When did you just pack it in and say “I’m on the down hill slope, let’s take as many people as I can with me?”

Hmm...I'm 52, about to be 53. Mind wise I'm still 21. I am much wiser though than at 21 but I still take risks occasionally. I keep in good shape so I try to minimize health related issues. I still play rather hard...party like I'm 21 still however I am a professional in a high level position. I live two lives. One at work and the other at play.

I will say this. After I turned 50 I had that moment when you realize the clock is no longer on your side. I have lived more days than I will live in the future. That's an eye opener and you realize you better get to doing whatever it is you want to do in life.
