I get ya! I'm ONLY 59 and yet when I look around there are those who are my age who look like they have one, or both feet in the grave. Age is not about a number, it's about how you feel. Enjoy your youth. Guard it closely. Forget about the others and just enjoy where you are at. Before you know, you will blink your eyes and find yourself 59. Make sure you reach that age with no regrets. Love fiercely, live wildly, embrace each day as if it was the last. You don't need counselling. Forget that. Just hold the moments closely and breath in life.

a good friend of mine recently died at age 59. looked like a 75 yr old human version of jabba the hutt.
he went out like a bro tho. drank himself to death over the course of a couple of years blowing all his inheritance money in the gogos of bangkok and patts. had some epic nights near the end, barfining entire bars etc. died of heart problems, prolly mixture of crack abuse in his earlier yrs and directly injecting viagra stuff into his ... stuff, can't be healthy. but he went out w a bang so cant blame him for that. much cooler dude than most younger guys i know
It only gets worse.....wait until you are 65, thinking you are not really "old", and
you see some ancient looking, grey, wrinkled senior citizen, thinking they could be your
parent, then find out they are five or ten years younger than you...ouch!!!
At 80 or so, my mother looked in a mirror and exclaimed to me, when did I become a shar pei?
We laughed, but it's true.

Pretty typical of the Pattaya and Bkk tourist goofballs.
That's not OLD, that's taking care of the responsibilities they have chosen in life. Some people start down that path in their 20's, some start down that path in their 40's.
You feel old because you are living at home with mom and dad, old people.
Oh, and PS...if your friends are looking old to you, they are probably looking at you thinking you look just as old
At 25 we had the house, the job/career, the kids..etc and I didn't feel old. Heck, I'm 37 with 4 kids and I still don't feel old, though I don't go parading around like a 22yr old. Life is what you make of it. I don't handle mine with the white gloves because it's "fragile"...I live it.
I had a house at 27...and was married with a kid many years after that. I didn't feel old then, and still don't. What gives with some of these poor young people these days.
It is all a mindset, if you feel old and keep reminding yourself of it, you will look the part. Best thing is to enjoy the positive stuff that comes your way and look at your life experience as a good thing, not a negative. Do nice things for yourself when you get the chance and don't sweat the small stuff.
Think about this op, if being old is 35+ and you live to be 85, then at least half of your life will be spent being old so get used to it!
I'm 27 soon to be 28 and I like a lot of old things: movies,TV shows, music (not elevator stuff). Our culture is youth obsessed. But it's only because the young are easily manipulated to liking the crap they want to sell you. I don't mind getting older actually. I feel like the best is yet to come. Don't know why that is except that I see older people in my life seem so content and happy. Yeah, even with wrinkles and balding and whatever comes with it. It's up to you (and maybe this is the scary part) to make your life what you want it to be. Time to grow up, hon. Can't fight what is inevitable so make the best of it.
you sound very wise beyond your years, myrevenge..and that has nothing to do with being old or young in years, some are 80 and wouldn't say those things ...
Um, grunge is 90s, your behind a couple decades...
It is? So I might not look as young as I think I do? Next you're going to tell me that people can tell I wear a toupee.
