| I'm watching Anime to escape from getting older. |
| Well I'm 36 and quite frankly I'm amazed that I still have all my teeth and hair (the former I've actually had not much problems with, latter I guess it's lucky genes). I guess the biggest change physically is that I have a bit of a gut, which I don't really like but probably can't be arsed to get rid of. I was never much of a looker a being very premature and underdeveloped anyway, but previously I was incredibly skinny but gained muscle from corrective physiotherapy as a teenager, so I don't think losing the gut will change much lol. I think I gained the gut during lockdown, as living with my mother was very stressful, as she's wasn't handling the death of my Dad very well, and I was actively avoiding her and not as active in-general. I should exercise more definitely, as I always have since replacing the physio with those, but I never want to do too much, as my body still isn't the same as everyone else's and my chest still gives me problems. Now though I do walk an awful lot, since i can't drive. When I go to new places, I usually trying walking to them (after arriving by train) rather than by Bus, as I'm not familiar with the landmarks and area. Sometimes I can walk quite a few miles, and I like walking down former railway lines turned into green lanes anyway. I always do shopping on foot also, but I'm fortunate to live less than 5 mins away from the centre of town anyway, and can handle most heavy loads. Mental health-wise I'm surprisingly sane, especially considering that both my middle sibling & father had very strange mental breaks and were sectioned numerous times and were never the same since. I had a very dangerous and stressful childhood-teenhood, but my parents tried to make it as fun and normal as best they could, but they became very protective of me and became very sheltered and always lived with atleast one of them until they passed away in 2019 & 2021, both times was incredibly traumatic as I witnessed their last moments alive both times and had flashbacks and was very weepy and sick feeling for weeks afterwards on both occasions. Even now though sometimes I get the odd flashback about my Mum, as that was particularly awful, but hopefully it'll fade away. Since then though I guess in some ways it was pretty exciting, as I moved to a new area near my grown-up niece & nephew and eventually bought a house. I was pretty scared using public transport here though, as I'd not done it in a while, and I was a little afraid going outside initially, as it is a little rough here sometimes. But I really like it here now, I do still get a little apprehensive about going somewhere new, but am getting braver all the time going places by myself and doing the things that I couldn't easily do living with my mother. I don't have any friends (haven't for many many years), but there's fellow Wrestling fans in town that often go to the same Wrestling shows as me, so we chat if I see them. Have always wanted a partner and kids, but can't really see that happening as find it hard trusting people and don't put myself out there or go out drinking (as I don't really drink anyway) or do things where you generally meet people, but have always been used to my own company and enjoy it, I feel awkward-enough when my big sis visits me every fortnight or so. Spiritually I'm not sure...I still do some things we did when my family were into spiritualism, because I feel like I should, but I also don't really know or understand many things that took place doing it and don't want to talk much about it. @Kvistis aw bless you 😊 thanks for that, that would be awesome. Best wishes on your journey also. |

| Dying of old age is a privilege I hope I die of old age, but for that to happen you have to be lucky Only way it sucks to die of old age is if you have some chronic disease and you live in pain everyday, but you don't have to be old to experience that One thing that can also suck about getting old is you dying after your friends and spouse, I want to die first, I don't want to be alone and reminiscence of past before I die |
| Personally, I don’t think I look that old for my age, so looks aren’t really something that I worry about too much. I have no forehead furrows, no glabellar lines, and no nasolabial folds, and hopefully those don’t start appearing anytime soon. I’m around like 30% done with my life too, so that’s a huge wake up call for me. Birthdays no longer make me happy like they used to. Birthday cakes and going out for dinner for my birthdays are still great though. As for being at peace, I think I’m mostly at peace with my age, but not completely. I’ve never really felt the desire to grow older, and part of that might be because I’ve always heard people say that time feels like it goes by much faster the older you get. I have also changed quite a lot in some ways, and not so much in other ways. Procrastination is still an eternal struggle for me, so that’s one of many things that stayed the same for me. What has changed quite a lot for me though would be my view on life and the world. My life is also something that I try to never take for granted. I’ve been trying to waste less time nowadays, and squeeze in more time to do things that are meaningful to me (sometimes that would be work/productivity, and other times it would be play). Overall, I would still say that my current life and age is a net positive. 👌 |
| Aging is something which you won't escape so I am not gonna get depressed or despair cause of it. I am about to hit 25 at friday so I will celebrate it as well as to cherish that despite some of health conditions I still have all of my teeths somehow, I don't have any major temporary/permament injuries, for now I know I don't have any inherited stuff although there is a suspicion for one serious stuff [next year I'll know more about it so for me it is still unknown] which is curable I guess, otherwise I won't be able to do my job and many other basic stuff when I'll hit 40s-50s. Despite the fact that I won't rebuild my stamina and endurance which I had at early teenager life, just right after 6 years of not doing any sports or exercises I've got myself to such point in a month that whenever I skip my morning or evening exercise routine I feel bad, not to mention other positive changes which comes from working out [still I won't be able to make my stamina comparable to what I used to have] Did I change? Well I am not an elder or even close to call myself "old", but I am not going to call myself "very young" as it would be a lie too, well from what I know the brain stops building/developing [it's form, etc.] when you're 25 so my body developments ends this year. I've changed physically as my heigth has changed, weigth not very much etc., mentally quite largely, like not that long ago I was just a dumb kid who didn't know the world and now I am in process of doing master degree with some knowledge on many life aspects and I will have another decades to learn more advanced knowledge of life, I don't follow any spiritual/faithful stuff as I don't follow anykind of those stuff so in that case I am not changing at all. The only thing which I hope for is to not die in my job proffession as it has some risk possibility which can also kill me if I'll be an Archaeologist for most of the times [booby traps or other myths from Indiana Jones are not the danger part of that job] Aswell as I am thankfull that I am too coward and I didn't do any serious movements when I hit in the past the pure depth of my mentality health [depression but not diagnosed] as I would finish my life quite a long time ago, gladly it never happened. |

How do you feel about getting older? Are you at peace with it? I used to fear death and used to fear living alone for the rest of my life, but all those fears totally disappeared when I was around 27yo. Now I'm 33 and I'm not bothered by any of that. Maybe it's because I've been through a lot of shit and I've become dead inside, so nothing bothers me. Do you try to fight it? Do you look up remedies to be younger or let the aging process drive you until the end? 1. exercise (mostly swimming and calisthenics) 2. standing up to watch anime and play games instead of sitting all day 3. one meal a day diet (not every day, but at least every 2nd day) 4. reduce carbs, increase fats and meat/fish proteins 5. fasting 2-3 days a week (only water + electrolytes, no food), longer fasts (7-14 days) twice a year Is aging a net negative for you? a net positive? somewhere in between? Hard to say. Negatives of aging: - Physical: Eyesight gets worse, random body pains that go away after 1-2 days - Mental: With age I become more analytical, more cynical, more jaded. I know how most people are braindead and full of shit. I understand the level of delusional and emotional thinking most people possess. I understand how illogical most people are. I know what they're gonna say before they say it. I know that most people's opinions are not derived from a point of reason, but from their delusions and emotions. I know people can't be trusted to perform basic tasks and they cannot be trusted to keep their word. As for my enjoyment of anime? It's only gotten worse with years. I just keep noticing shit that ruins my immersion and enjoyment of many shows. I'm now rewatching a lot of anime I watched 10-20 years ago and I can't help but notice negatives about those animes I didn't notice back then (bad writing, plot holes, inconsistent character behavior, illogical character behavior, contrived and coincidental story, cliches, predictable plot, etc.). For example, I enjoyed Death Note a lot when I was a teenager. Nowadays though, I just feel like the plot was written by a moron. There's so many points in the story where the "genius" Light doesn't think of very simple solutions to his problems, and it feels like the plot was written that way for convenience. For example, he could simply tear out and burn the pages after people have already died to erase the evidence of being a killer, since the note has seemingly infinite pages. Positives of aging: - Physical: Not much, maybe apart from musculature that a teenager simply can't build due to a lack of time. - Mental: Most of my life anxietes are gone. I feel like I understand the world. I understand people. I know their thought patterns. I can predict with great accuracy how someone is gonna act and respond. I know how to deal with people and not let myself be manipulated and used. I notice almost instantly when someone has ulterior motives. I can read between their lines. do you feel you have changed much because of age? mentally, physically, spiritually? Mentally and physically, kinda explained above. Spiritually? I never had a spiritual side to me. I'm too logical to believe in spirituality. It only takes a couple minutes of contemplation to realize all religion is fake shit, but it requires having a logical mind, which most people seem to lack. Long post. Have an Asahi to brighten your day.  |
| Getting Older I have realized that: I was a loner or socially awkward person when I was young, just lived the life I knew. I was dumb enough to not realize my social flaws till now. I have a habit of being watching anime forget my problems. But lately now as a much older man (31 year old) I have realised that now I am too lonely and completely incapable of social interactions. Because of my dumbness I am currently unemployed and no money. By never making friends figuring out what to do in life has become extremely hard. I never made social media accounts too and now I am too intimated by them. I have never discussed about any media or movies with anyone in real life or even online. I am planning to start being active online this year. Even this post is too much to type for me. If anyone reads this and is younger I strongly suggest that even if its feel discomforting always stay in touch with people around you: parents, family, neighbors, school friends , college friends, or any acquaintance you make. Friendships starts slowly and will be awkward at the start. Because if you don't you might end up in hole that can't reach out of. Eventually you can be a middle age or old boring person with no skills, no money, bad health and alone. So be warned. I have decided my goal for 2024 is to get employed , improve my health, start socializing however little. Small steps. Hoping that when I get employed I will have someone to talk to in real life. |

| 20 is just the beginning of life. And I can say that we learn to appreciate the little things in anime and life in general. |

| I haven't felt right about passing time ever since I was at least 13 on due to my life not being enough enjoyable or eventful. I'm not sure if I want to be forever youthful or just dead. |

| I will be 39 this year...I don't want to be 40 😭. Everyone take care of yourselves and your bodies! I recently had to put my father into a nursing home at 73 years old he has dementia due to all the alcohol and drugs he has taken over the years. It has been a really sad process for everyone in my family and puts a lot of things into perspective. Such as make sure you have everything planned out such as your wishes and what you want to do with what. My father has nothing at all planned out and it is so stressful and just a huge ass mess. |

| @Seven Now imagine you couldn't put him into a nursing home and had to care for him yourself 24/7 and he would be constantly obnoxious and complain about everything, never remember or follow any advice, always ask the same things and tell the same stories. That's the psycho terror my mom has been going through for years now, herself bordering on the verge of breakdown regularly, but still feeling the moral obligation to continue. It's the worst kind of horror that many millions of people are going through everyday. |
| - How do you feel about getting older? Are you at peace with it? i'm 38 and not really in peace with it. Until not too many years ago i still seemed almost like 18 and facing my last year of high school, but now time is making up for it almost fast. And that's just the looks department part (even if looks have always been ugly), because when it comes to physical energies... i feel like 70. Also, now time seems like it's going to 4x speed and i'm at 0.25x instead. - Do you try to fight it? Do you look up remedies to be younger or let the aging process drive you until the end? no, gave up. Now i replace glasses in favor of contacts for cosplaying only and noticed that when i pull them off, it's clear i look like a late 30's man. And i'm busier and busier with my job (even if i like it and don't want to look for alternatives at all) to a point that my energies are all drained, and need to save them just for anime conventions and more work. - Is aging a net negative for you? a net positive? somewhere in between? negative. Wasted so much time when i was young by being the typical social outcast pathetic loser good-for-nothing stereotype without never putting on a fight, never even peaked in high school (neither before nor after...), too intimidated by the world in general, and no matter how i learned to settle for less and keeping a brave face on it, that "less" (simply moving out from parents home in the literal basement) still seems impossible to reach even almost 20 years after high school graduation, and almost 17 of those actually spent in the workforce. Recently i became convinced i was finally able to afford everything for that big project, but discovered it was still too soon and now i feel like i will pass away from heart attack or something not even before moving in, but before the works for the basement can finally resume to begin with after almost six years. - do you feel you have changed much because of age? mentally, physically, spiritually? i've become even more cynical and bitter, with anger and hatred problems that still return here and there (i can't state this point enough, they're addictive emotions and like any other addictions they can become seriously dangerous), every small attempt to react has backfired for reasons either beyond my own control or because it was just my fault to begin with, i feel more and more like Stan Marsh from South Park for multiple reasons (easy examples, when he didn't want to vote in 2004 because of disillusionment with the entire society or the episode "You're Getting Old" in 2011), and thus crying every day over spilled milk is unavoidable. No more interesting videogames are coming out, not interested any more in music if it isn't Japan or anime related or coming from my favorite rock bands still in activity and anyway concerts have become waaaaaay too expensive (and revival disco nights from the 90's or 2000's almost extinct or poorly handled), basketball has almost totally become unwatchable or not appealing any more, all i have left apparently are anime and anime conventions. |
(save your time and don't try to comfort when i rant on casual discussion or forum games, feel free to ignore me, i won't take it personally) |

| I'm not afraid of having "regrets" at my deathbed. Why? Because we don't have free will, contrary to what we've been told all our lives. It's incredibly easy to prove that we don't have free will. By observing the world, we see that everything operates based on laws of physics. That's why we've been able to create industries and create medicines. That's why we have electricity and computers that can be reliably used. Since all matter surrounding us operates based on laws of physics, including us, free will doesn't exist. We are simply an input-output device that's operating to the tune of laws of physics. Why are we told that we have free will? Because that's what's most beneficial to societies and to nations. If we brainwash most of the population that they have free will, they will be productive. Most people will never develop enough intellectually to understand that it's all a lie. Those who do, will be shunned and laughted at by the braindead majority of the population who don't possess critical thinking and observation skills. If we taught people that free will is an illusion, a lot of them would become nihilistic and unmotivated to do anything with their life. By fooling them that they have free will, they are able to put effort into "doing something with my own strength". It's truly poetic how the only way for an average human mind to prosper is to teach it lies and hope they don't figure out the truth. |
| i feel more comfortable in my 30s, this suits me better than my 20s i think. most friends i made through work were already in their 30s/early 40s and i found way more in common with those than those i met who were also in their 20s at the time. pretty ok with aging in these circumstances |

| I couldn't imagine aging as a kid, now that I'm 27 I feel like I have a better idea about it. I don't need to look young, or act young for that matter, I just want to live as much as possible.

| I can feel myself feeling a hell of a lot less energetic than I did only five years ago and my hairline's only been getting worse since male pattern baldness is unfortunately a thing that runs in my family. Shaved it all off though and I honestly think I look pretty damn good bald. |
Take care of yourself |
| At the current point of my life yes I accepted it. Though I still do things to help hide it. Such as shaving my head and whatnot. Darn male pattern baldness! |
 |
| Physically I look about 20. Mentally I matured alot. Teen me solved her issues with trash talk and violence. Nowadays I don't waste my time on idiots. |
| I used to worry about it more, when I was younger, but now I just kind of realize that there's nothing I can do to stop it. So at some point, I just stopped thinking about it as much. I still get a little anxious, I guess, since there is so much I want to do, and so little time, but it's often when I think that way, I never end up getting anything done anyway. So I don't know. |

| What I'm getting out of these replies is that balding sucks - and I agree! We can do at least something about everything else. That male pattern baldness is a bitch. And god, I've tried. I consume lots of biotin because it's good for hair growth, rosemary oil treatments... and everyone around me tells me not to just shave it all off when I suggest it, though I think I look fine rockin' the dome. Otherwise, it's a shame, but it's something that compels me to live every day to the fullest. And as a simple person, that's easy to accomplish. |

| I'm 36 and it's horrible. For the moment I'm holding on, but from 39 to 40 I think it's going to be death in life. In any case, I still do all the same things I did when I was 20, but mentally it is a huge blow. I only feel "a little good" when I go to pick up my son from school (he is 10 years old), because all the fathers and mothers are much older than me. |
 |
| it's inevitable so no point trying to fight it. yeah, it's good for me to stay in shape and keep myself healthy but that's an ongoing thing unrelated to aging. haven't felt too many effects yet since i'm still kind of young and in my mid 20s. |

| not really at peace with it but i'm human so that's a given. I'm trying to stay healthy 27rn still got an odd 60 or so years to go! Death scares me but i'm pretty sure with advancements in tech i may live to see 120 atleast maybe not but you can't really predict the future will find out in time! |
| I used not to care, but now I’m kind of uneasy about it. Not because of aging but because of the many fucks ups I have done/just happened. I always understood I was going to move between different stages of life, and I was already for it, in fact I worked hard to get to some of them in way I wanted to live them, but I failed miserably and I’m not in what I described in my 19s as “one of the worse scenarios possible”. I’m uneasy because is just too late to archive/live many things, and now everyone is moving on while I’m on stage 0. Now im trying to play the rest of the cards left as best as I can to get the best possible outcome. Im not afraid of death, but I really regret spending so much time and wasting so many opportunities in search for stuff that never happened. |
 |
| At 54 years old now, and just about to be a grandfather, I am at peace with it now. I feel the older I get, the better mentally I am, and the more sorted and sane I am. I need to start slowing down the ageing process now, as I am looking in the mirror, or looking at my arms and seeing old person's age spots, and yes I know I still look pretty good for my age, it is a little disappointing. I can no longer afford to be stupid with my body and drink too much etc.. there just isn't enough room for that now without consequences. But I am at peace with death, it's not as if I am just sitting around waiting for it, but I do know I have lived more years than I will live. Every day is a gift, and I want more now from my time. |

| It's nice to see that there's also quite a few middle aged people like myself on here. It's weird when I was young I used to have a strong gut feeling that I would never live past 33. So I kinda lived very wild and recklessly when instead I should have done some schooling etc. Then 33 came and gone and nothing happened. Now I'm in my 40's and I think I am having a bit of a mid life crisis. I super regret not getting married and having kids. I regret my career choices. I also regret not traveling more. But in a strange way mentally, I still feel 20. When you are young it's hard to make plans and goals. But if you are reading this go out and do it, or talk to someone like a counselor who can help you do it. I think you will have way less regrets when you age. |
