What about us born in 1980-1990?

Never stopped exercising so my body works fine. That's all that works though.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Never started so my body sucks. I wish gym class had homework then maybe I'd have learned to not be fat and lazy.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I stopped for a bit. Lemme tell you, real hard to get back on it. Fortunately been back on for a bit now too, and regardless, some aches and pains are just there, and that's that!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You're still ahead of the game.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

I feel so far behind, but I also compare 37 year old me to 27, and 25, and 23 year old me, and I was always in such good shape that I think j took it for granted. But it's never too late to start, or to restart, or to unstop.

I just woke up physically tired from sleep. Not in a "I'm sleepy" kind of way, in a "did I just run a fucking marathon why am I in so much pain" kind of way.

I didn't ask for life.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

I have a condition that causes me to only get good sleep on my side, but if I sleep on my side for more than a couple hours that side really starts to ache. So yeah I'm with you

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Did you ever get checked for sleep apnea or similar conditions?

One of the symptoms is waking up and feeling like a bulldozer just ran you over.

I turned 40 today.

My body feels like shit. My mind feels the same as it did when I was 14; confused and horny.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

How did you speedrun aging bro?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

It was in the water back in the 80s

Can confirm same situation

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

People born in 2005 are now 20 years old and I'm not okay.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

If it helps, many of them won't have had their birthday yet, so they'll still be 19.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

So if we get rid of them all before they age up, everything will be OK.

Part of me wants to go live in the woods and forget about society. The other part is frantically trying to prepare for the rising threat of fascism spreading to my country. I'm getting pretty good at selectively dissociating.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I mean, living in the woods is a great way of figuring out just how much or how little you actually value a social life.

More than previously thought was the answer for me.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago

Fucking bad for all the wrong reasons, ngl.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm in my thirties and physically I'm ok, but it's getting tougher mentally with each year passed. Job takes most of the time and it's harder to genuinely connect with people the older you get. Whe I was a kid or teenager I could simply start a conversation with a peer and become friends in a matter of minutes. Not it takes weeks, because everyone's working and has families. Getting older sucks

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

If it makes you feel better, it doesn't get much worse than where you're at now in terms of socialization.

A lot of people spend years wearing about what other people are saying and thinking about them. When you hit your forties you realize nobody's saying or thinking anything about you at all, You're too busy dealing with their own slice of hell.

I've been walking the mall for 45 minutes and my knees are begging to be removed from this mortal prison.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

I got my dream job on a clandestine hacking team, but my new sedentary lifestyle is killing my knees

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

My back gets sore everyonce in a while. Other than that life is good

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

In my thirties and I've got some creaks here and there, what all have you guys been doing to your bodies? Usually stuff like this is only when I go too wild at amateur wrestling night as the Shrieking Spud

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Please tell me you have a catchphrase as the Shrieking Spud!😮

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

There are lots of good things to say: "I've got my eyes on you", "This deep fryer ain't big enough for the two of us", "You couldn't mash me if you tried", "I hope you like your hair starched". I also put potatoes in my bra to hand to people, they would fly out when I got thrown around too

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

LMAO! Potatoes in yer bra is funny, but surely you're bruised all to hell after a match!

Mentally inoperative

IDK I was born in the 80s and I feel pretty much the same as when I was 16. Someone born in 1990 is 35, not exactly a dinosaur...
