Justin JacksonAs a kid, I always assumed that older adults “felt their age.”
Now I’m nearly 43, but in my head I feel about 25.
I’ve learned that I’m not the only one! This phenomenon is called “subjective age.”
How about you? What age do you “feel” you are?
Ben Ramsey@mijustin I’m 44, and I don’t think of myself as being in my 40s, though some days, my body reminds me I am (but that’s also mostly due to bad diet and lack of exercise).
I’m like you, constantly thinking of myself in the 18-25 range. My son constantly reminds me that I am not 18-25. 😅
@mijustin The interesting thing about me, with regard to age, is that I’ve always wanted to project to others that I’m older. Even now, I like to talk about my gray hair and “get off my lawn” and “back in my day,” but 40s are really not old.
