i’m almost 23 and tbh i feel younger now than i did when i was 20-21. it’s def a weird feeling to have like what the kids are up to not really include me anymore but i feel like as i get older i don’t care as much. also i think at this point i’m much more surrounded by people who are my age or older than me instead of my age or younger like i was when i was in high school or college, and i realize just how much of my life (and my YOUNG life) i have ahead of me. i think it’s much cooler to be a little bit out of the loop or a little cringe but have a stronger sense of self than to be completely tapped in but be 15 lol.

🕰i just feel like me. i felt old when i was like 22-24 but now at 27 i’m just like wow i haven’t been alive that long and actual old people just see me as a 20-something. also like yeah while i guess you get more mature with more life experience, your brain still feels the same somehow (maybe bc maturity isn’t linear or a truly measurable metric). i get why people begin to lose touch with things as they get older not bc they’re too old to understand but it’s like what use do i have knowing what cultural signifiers will get me approval from a 10, 15 or even 20 year old? i don’t even care what my peers think.
i used to have an obsession with mustaches and bacon in middle school and said shit like “rawr means i love you in dinosaur xD” like i have no place judging the new stuff that the kids are saying today.

🕰(22) and I kinda trend older appearance and personality wise.. I have more muscle now than I've ever had and if I could commit to running again I would officially be in the best shape of my life lol. I know 22 is far too young for the body to begin breaking down but some people I went to high school with would prove otherwise.. I like to think you don't lose things to age but to time,, both mentally and physically..
I absolutely do not relate to the youth and find it really funny just how much they look like children to me even though I was that age a few years ago. At some point maybe around 20 I recall noticing a switch had flipped and suddenly high schoolers looked like small children to me. I kinda struggle to relate to people my age even, which I think comes from doing things alone for as long as I have been.
So no I don't *feel* old but I call myself old in an ironic way. I'm not out of touch, it's the children who're wrong..

😃i’m 26 and have never really felt old. i feel slightly out of touch with people younger than me but at the same time it doesn’t really bother me at all. we have our whole lives ahead of us and feeling/being old is the last thing we should be worrying about in our 20. but with all that being said, i still understand the like sentiment of the question i just don’t think it’s something we should be all that concerned with as 20 somethings :)

🔊if the text requires more than 3 sentences it’s a voice memo! the efficiency of just getting to speak! the intimacy of sending your voice and the process of gathering your thoughts in real time! the presence of tone and vocal inflection! i actually aspire to only ever communicate via phone calls and voice memos. texting is such a menace in my life.
