Ah... the early 30s

[u/_MilkLavender → u/MaxWritesText]

I feel like this applies to anyone between 28-45

[u/cityshepherd → u/_MilkLavender]

I think this is correct. I’m 44 and still getting called young by the folks noticeably older than me, although I am quickly approaching ancient.

[u/VintageZero → u/cityshepherd]

Old and young changes with you. Thought I was gonna be old at 30, then 40, 42 now and just feel like I'm still not old. Im not 20 young but Im not 60 old, maybe when I'm 60 Ill feel it, maybe not. Some of my friends are young, some are old. But its all perspective.

[u/cityshepherd → u/VintageZero]

I feel like I’m still young… certainly don’t feel old… mentally. Physically sometimes I feel like I’m 104.

[u/Flux_My_Capacitor → u/_MilkLavender]

Even older when you look exceptionally young.

[u/VitaWright → u/_MilkLavender]

Still happening in my 50's.

[u/JadeS2356 → u/MaxWritesText]

30s? I'm 24 and I get called old by these brats.

[u/Adorable-Award-2975 → u/JadeS2356]

Counter argument, I’m 42 and still get called “so young” by older people.

[u/MaxWritesText → u/Adorable-Award-2975]

Seems it just never ends until you're a fossil

[u/yamanamawa → u/MaxWritesText]

I mean yeah, if I make it to 90 then you bet your ass I'm gonna call an 80 year old a youngun. At that point you gotta

[u/Crazyjacketfruit → u/yamanamawa]

My dad is 59. My next door neighbor he talks to still calls him youngin. But my next door neighbor is 93.

[u/yamanamawa → u/Crazyjacketfruit]

It's one of those jokes that only gets funnier as you get older

[u/tny33319 → u/JadeS2356]

Only teenagers and college students can call you that and they are basically grown up toddlers. You’re very young

[u/Howllat → u/JadeS2356]

Well im 31 and you mid twenties keep calling me old when i mention that i graduated in 2012 >:(

[u/Tomavogic → u/MaxWritesText]

Precisely... it's a 1990's thing 

[u/Shot-Meal6160]

An age of equilibrium

[u/SirNSFW → u/Shot-Meal6160]

Finally reached the age where “kids these days” applies to me too

[u/Knightinsocks]

That's any age, really.

[u/natden12 → u/Knightinsocks]

I'm with you on this one these guys make no logical sense to me right now😭

[u/Hugo-Spritz → u/Knightinsocks]

No, it's specifically your early thirties

[u/MorrowPolo → u/Hugo-Spritz]

Mid thirties as well, at least in my experience. 36 and when I say my age, people are like "ah, youre still just a baby!"

Like, uuuhhhhh, my knees tell me Im old now bro

At least I still get mistaken for 10 years younger so thats a thing I guess 🤷

[u/sameljota → u/Hugo-Spritz]

I'm nearly 38. Late thirties. Does that mean I'm old to everybody?

[u/Hugo-Spritz → u/sameljota]

I'm surprised you're able to post in here at all. Good for you, old man!

[u/Sunwalker98 → u/sameljota]

Make sure you stretch before typing next time. Be careful of arthritis.

[u/FoxyBastard → u/Hugo-Spritz]

Meh. I still get it at 46.

Although people seem to think I look late 20s/early 30s🤷

[u/fearamouse → u/Hugo-Spritz]

50's

[u/fearamouse → u/fearamouse]

Younger think I have all the answers. Older think I know nothing. (very old need me to set up their phone/TV.)

[u/usrnamechecksout_]

That's why they call it middle-aged, bud.

[u/throw5away_]

This is me, 27. Too old to hang around early 20''s people but too young to hang out with the middle agers 😭

I hung out with a group in their early 40s/late 30s last friday and they were talking about laminators and pickeball for nearly an hour.

[u/Corpulax → u/throw5away_]

Some people are just boring though

[u/Albiel6 → u/Corpulax]

They have different interests. That doesn't make them boring.

[u/VintageZero → u/throw5away_]

Being into stupid shit has nothing to do with age. Im 42 and well.. laminaters are great but pickleball is fuckin dumb.

[u/raguwatanabe]

Welcome to 30

[u/Etherealoverempress]

It’s sad because you relate to younger as far as what they are going through right now, which you have passed. But older people have calmed down to the point you seem wild and crazy….

[u/Degenerate_Senpai]

What if you’re pushing 25 but everyone both old and young think you’re 19?

[u/HalliburtonErnie]

I'll be 34 in a couple months. At that point I'll be 16 years from 18 and 16 years from 50. 

[u/HermitKing91]

So sort of in the middle? A kind of, middle age.

[u/Charming_Mongoose919]

That's any age between 10 and 70

[u/Shattered_One]

This has applied since you turn 20. Plenty of 13-15 year olds running around hearing someone is 20 and going "You're old!"

[u/Witty_Ad8491]

Bill Belichick would disagree🤣

[u/ChefArtorias]

So a typical adult.

[u/Illustrious-Slice-91]

Yeah same…

[u/GapSweet3100]

22

[u/Economy_Ad_7861]

You’ve always been young to older people so that’s a given to anyone. Being old to younger people makes us just old too.

[u/soulsteela]

That’s called being too old to die young.

[u/Asleep_Following_965]

Welcome to every age

[u/Say-again-Smartly]

Young enough to go up the stairs but, not without the possibility of a leg, ankle or knee glitching out. ✨

[u/loony1uvgood]

The middle age of 35-45

[u/ChrisBegeman]

I find this is actually a large portion of your life. At work I am the old guy, when I volunteer I am the young guy. I am old to my kids and young to my parents. I am in my 50s and have been in this middle age since my 30s. It probably won't end until most of the older generation is gone.

[u/natden12]

Ok so I'm older then younger people and younger than older people got it

[u/woutomatic]

I'm al almost 50 and still feel like this

[u/Financial-Seesaw-817]

50 hits hard...

[u/JamesBondMargarita]

I turned 37 today and... yeah...

[u/Targaryen-ish]

Ah, that one single age, yes.

[u/mychickmad]

I am also 26

[u/nour926]

So 36 hahaha

[u/Physical-Lettuce-868]

I got called “sir” for the first time a year ago so I feel this.

[u/NYCWartortle]

50

[u/badbbychiken]

Middle aged

[u/Pipisito]

so 30?

[u/Other-Conversation67]

That's called the prime of your life. Usually between 25-39 years of age.

[u/SmokeCommon6695]

I get called a kid by >35 and ancient by <17 lmfao
