I no longer feel a sense of unrealised potential for myself I guess. That’s it, I’ve got what I’ve got.
I don’t feel happy
I feel like this is not a part of getting older. Arent there things that are exiting to you or make you happy?
My knee hurts when it’s raining.
my fucks slowly run out
This is the plus side of being older.
I’ve been burned enough times in life that it’s really easy to just write people off that I shouldn’t have let in my life anyway, and I’m much happier in my own little world with my books.
it does get marginally better once you do run out.
Honestly I’ve been getting much happier the less fucks I give.
Inverse correlation
This has become my theme song.
It’s interesting to me that I don’t see myself aging in the bathroom mirror…until I put on my glasses. Then it’s obvious. Also, I didn’t used to need glasses. But nature’s gaussian blur filter is awesome. My wife looks as good as the day I met her too!
After about an hour of using the mouse or controller gaming, I have to take a few seconds to massage my hand because it gets sore and stiff.
Didn’t happen until I got into my 30’s 😔
Early 40s here, and carpal tunnel is finally kicking in
I got gout and shingles
My poor wife got shingles at 39 last year. Her doc was like “yeah it’s definitely shingles, welcome to firmly middle aged”
They Might Be Older (Still)
I took a shower and my knee hurts. Like fuck.
Either you or I take showers very wrong
I’ll tell you when you’re older
Not replying to as many of these types of posts is one of them
Made breakfast this morning. Now my wrist hurts.
Damn. I made tomorrow and tonight’s dinner. My back is fucked.
Good news: burgers+fries were tasty and I’m looking forward to the shepherd’s pie tomorrow.
Like a pro!
And sneezing then having a pain in your back from it.
The solution to this is to make breakfast in the afternoon 👍
Eyesight started going in mid 40s. Still not happy about it.
Damn, that’s a long run!
I had perfect vision for decades and then it suddenly went to shit. Found out there’s no preventing it, no lifestyle changes to make it better. It’s just gone. Presbyopia can’t be prevented or fixed. Feels bad, man.
It takes me longer to recover from the consequences of playing ice hockey.
Holidays are a blur. I don’t remember individual years anymore, and every year I’m started at how quickly it became Christmas already.
Ffs we’re halfway through February already. I was just putting up the tree like 3 days ago.
Too real. Not just holidays, weeks and months go by and it’s like “shit when did it get to 2025??”
Covid made it especially bad. Covid started five years ago. Started, like we first heard the term “Covid”
COVID really did destroy the flow of time for me.
It’s still March… 2020
Children, which to me is everyone born in the 2005+ are already turning 20. Hell, the iPhone can already vote.
Also, Gangnam style. 13 years ago.
Btw I was born in 2004 and I’m 20
Are you also in your 30s? Haha
Using any tool that vibrate much like a string trimmer will irritate where my spine is pinched and I’ll regret it for months. It makes me feel useless. Fusing 4 discs in my upper back or neck would almost guaranteed make me feel more useless.
I definitely can’t pretend I’m young anymore. It isn’t just pain, and when it is pain it’s not the worst pain. It makes me unable to feel my arm. I had to get an epidural of steroids to get the inflammation down to get feeling back, and I seem to be at least mildly allergic to that .
