Feeling old at 26?

BudSpencer123 · 2020-04-04T18:27:40+00:00

yea, i am 29 and will be 30 in may. i feel this like every fucking day haha
but there are studies that men in their mid 30s are way happier than they were in their 20s, so i am looking forward to it.

Come on man, 26 isn't old! Could it be you're feeling that way cause all your pussywhipped mates are getting married and disappearing into oblivion?

Mid 30s is when you start to feel your age. Random aches and pains, and in my case constant tendon flare ups. You've got all this to look forward to!

No its not normal. Im 46 and I feel like im living my best life even under quarentine.

Here is the regimen i used when i was feeling really down after my divorce. Maybe it can help.

Exercise really clears the mind and gives you energy. Youtube calistetics if you dont already excercise and start off really slow.

Also you really are what you eat. Stop eating as much junk food and try more vegetables and fruits. Layoff sugary drinks and drink mire water. It sounds stupid but it actually works. You will in fact magically start feeling more optimistic

Cold showers. Its like shock therapy but it really makes you feel good afterwards

Take care of something. I have orchids and cats. Gives me a sense of accomplishment that they are still alive after all this time lol.

I wish I was 26 again.

Five years from now you'll be looking back and thinking what a naive spring chicken you were. Take it easy and enjoy your 20s.

consios88 · 2020-04-04T19:14:02+00:00

Yes its perfectly normal and its true, you have until 35 to be considered young, but in honestly past the age of 24 you are not the spring chicken you used to be. You are closer to 30 then when you graduated high school.

Mentally yes, physically nope, never felt better.

I had my adult house, job, car by that point and was surrounded by middle aged coworkers. Changes your outlook on things.

Stedelijkepuin · 2020-04-04T20:09:11+00:00

I am 27 and I dont feel old at all. Actually I never looked better than right now.

backonmyBS · 2020-04-04T22:37:45+00:00

It’s a phase. went through it in my mid-late 20s. At 35 feeling younger than ever. Are you getting enough cardio? Are you traveling? (pre-post COVID)

Fuxk1n · 2020-04-04T18:29:55+00:00

I feel the exact same way.

I'm 28. Only one way to find out if things get any better: hurry up and wait.

slamdunktiger86 · 2020-04-05T00:44:49+00:00

We’re not women. We age life fine wine if you do your part.

At your age I was nervous about going into my 30s.

I’m 33 now and it’s never been better in every area.

I think this really shows your outlook more than your age.

While the beer virus shutdowns are not fun, I’ve had a lot of fun getting better at work, cooking and shorting the duck out of the market.

I’m not an early riser but I get up in the US west coast just to watch my put options grow fat as I short the S&P, casinos and retailers.

A little greed does wonders for your ambition.

Good luck bro.

klajditoci · 2020-04-05T01:42:55+00:00

same age bro and feeling like this is the best age ever. be happy bro. everything else is not important.

hrm0894 · 2020-04-05T02:49:33+00:00

If you're in a "crisis", I think it's because you aren't working on your purpose. Keep yourself occupied, life will be more satisfying.

30RITUALS · 2020-04-05T02:59:00+00:00

Had exact same feeling, started at 27, now at 30 its not exactly easier. I pay great attention to my health, mind, etc. I wotkout daily, do IF, cold showers. But my career is in the slumps, so that is probably the problem, might also be for you.

falling_maple · 2020-04-05T03:23:25+00:00

Your life as a man is just beginning. You've hopefully shed all the bullshit that tied you down as a kid and a young adult (no money, studies, drugs, people you don't care about, etc). If not, get to work.

Yeah, having a hobby or activity is great, and the great thing is that you can actually afford it at this point in your life.

Wisdom_of_a_Khan · 2020-04-05T03:26:14+00:00

I'm 25, I feel the same way and I think i've discovered why.

This isn't a flex, but the sheer amount of stuff i've learned in the last 2-3 years I think is what is making me feel old. In the last 2-3 years I've found MGTOW, I've started investing, The job i've had in the last 2-3 years is a mixture of mechanics, plumbing, and electrical which has made me incredibly handy. What was hopelessly broken and needed to be thrown away 5 years ago, is now a 5 minute fix with basic tools.

I feel old mentally, physically I feel better than ever.

AliceGaveMeTheHerp · 2020-04-05T03:29:06+00:00

Your 30s are gonna be awesome if you miss out on the first round of divorces. Stay in shape, don’t fall into debt.

downwardlyspiraling · 2020-04-05T04:24:46+00:00

Dude I’m 41 and I don’t feel like I’ve even begun to peak. You have so so so much time.

HappynessIsTheKey · 2020-04-05T09:41:56+00:00

If you are chronic masturbator I would totally understand why you feel this way.

micestorff- · 2020-04-05T18:32:57+00:00

im near 27 with no savings and almost no work experience, felt i wasted my whole life tryng to finish my studies, good enought this my last year but still.

kleinburg11 · 2020-04-06T00:19:34+00:00

yeah same here, i feel old too. luckely i(30) age very slow. some people think i am between 22-26 years old.

with age and experience the urge to date and have a family fades.

i am not attractive and with 27 i came to the realization:"man you tried your luck with the young attractive girls(rate 4-10) and you messed up. you're options are single mothers, overfucked girls who are ready to settle down or ugly fat women".

so i made a deal with myself. I only marry a decent virgin woman. I think that's a good deal, not possible but save :D

Throwaway_5252 · 2020-04-10T05:45:31+00:00

I'm also 27.

MGTOW/REDPILL has made me jaded and bitter. Funny thing is, I'm having more hot sex with the hottest women, yet I was never this jaded and bitter when I went through dry spells and didn't have anyone but by hand to keep me company as a teen.

No amount of hot sex or even feelings of love can undo my tortuous past of growing up with an abusive father and troubled home life and shitty past relationships. I'm always going to hold resentment about the past. Also my friends suicide/murder is something that always lingers and has become a part of my persona.

Really I'm just bored by life and want more money so I can continue to fuck hot women. Everything else just tires me out.
