Its not "oldness", its 'Softness'. Often confused by the afflicted!.

Just wasn't able to keep up with the 18 year olds at the gig like I used to, all my friends with me said the same.

Jesus you're only a babooshka - keep thinking like that and you'll be geriatric by 30!

Naw I just pull the feckers out. Don't want to have to go down that route because then I'll really feel old lol It makes sense in my head.

They will grow back twice as grey & twice as strong

Don't feel bad though, I started going grey when I was 15:eek:
I embraced peroxide like it was the oxegen I needed to breathe.

I can't believe so many people are saying they feel old in their 20s, not the first thread I've seen that said either. I was spritely in my teens, 20s, still am spritely in my 30s, plan to be in my 40s. Hell my Dad is in his 70s and there is no stopping him.

What's wrong with you people, you're only babies!

I think it could be possibly down to the recent thing of going away to a boiling hot clime for a year.

I went to Vancouver for the summer last yr and it was 35-40 degrees for of the time, Despite wearing facor 50 every day my Irish skin just couldn't handle it. Especially that I'm very freckly, even with the factor 50 on - just going outside the door in Canada I would burn after a while, had to stay out of the sun as much as possible.

I used to look young for my age and came back looking ten years older.

I'm now told I look old for my age.

There's nothing that ages your face like the sun. My friend recently came back from OZ and I honestly couldn't believe the change in her, was scary, she looked like a 40 yr old.

If I could do it again I REALLY wouldn't go to Canada, I'm that paranoid about about how old I look now. I feel so upset that one summer has messed up my face so severely. Honestly if I showed you a before and after pic you would be shocked. This has been constantly on my mind since I got back,i.e. beating up myself about - why did I put my face through that.

Irish people be aware fo this before you go abroad....it's a not really talked about side effect.

I think my boyish good looks are declining noticeably.

On the plus side, I'm caning it harder than ever

28 years young

Dunnie1982 · 11-06-2010 12:09AM

I'm 28 and have:
The left knee of a 50 year old after tearing my cruciate ligament a few years back,
A bit of a gut (working on that though),
Constant numbing back pain,
My neck cracks almost every time I move it,
I got my first grey hair last week,
I cant drink like I used to or I'm dying for 2 days afterwards.

On the plus side I:
Still have 20/20 vision,
Lots of energy most of the time,
I have a full head of hair,
I have all my teeth (which I suppose most people under 60 have now days anyway).

So I suppose the good and bad things about getting older balance themselves out, & in 6 months everything except my dodgy knee, the odd grey hair & the not able to cope with hangovers will be great. Why worry about getting older, its going to happen us all so deal with it and make the best of what you have.:)

Well I've been dying my hair for years because of the grey, I've no idea what my natural colour is any more. The only bit's I know are definitely mine are the grey ones. Maybe I'll start plucking them so.:)

Once you keep yourself happy what harm are you doing

Pardon the pun but keep an eye on your sight...it has been known to give away with, ahem, age

Dudess · 11-06-2010 12:11AM

Happy burfday 'Socky!

epgc3fyqirnbsx · 11-06-2010 12:11AM

And you run and you run to catch up to the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

:pac:

I'm kind of lucky with my hair colour, the grey/whitish ones aren't as noticable.

Jeez, do people actually tell you that you look old?

The sun is the main reason for our ageing no doubt, but you're having a downer on yourself could be influencing what you think of yourself when you look in the mirror.

Your skin can go through bad phases but it's often possible to improve on it. Make sure you stay out of the sun and stay hydrated. I know when my skin is dry it can add about 10 years to my face.

But most of all, go easy on yourself, frowning can make you look older too;)

You may be right there... thanks for that.

carrot_flowers · 11-06-2010 12:22AM

I'm only 22. Yet...I have a barrage of health problems that have been here over the past 3 yearsish...I have arthritis in both knees and ankles (used to be a long distance runner) as well as my left elbow, fibromyalgia syndrome, IBS, sciatica and a very painful cyst in the ovary. There's a lot more but thats the basics...my immune system doesn't work too good either. Outwardly, I have quite noticeable crow's feet, bags under my eyes, and a limp. Oh, and I let my bed be my hairdresser, and no longer do my makeup. I still bathe regularly, but the rest of that crap I just can't be arsed with.

entropi · 11-06-2010 12:23AM

I've not noticed any of the supposed signs at all...then again I'm only 29 lol. Still look like I'm about 22, eat a good diet, dont drink often and I'm active in 2 sports...it helps:)
