Worst part about being 30+

No longer feel invincible. You start to notice death around you a lot more.

Agree, I've started to take less risk too because I've came this far and it would be a shame to clock out early because of a dumb idea.

The worst part about your 30's is seeing your parents get older imo.

“Man is something that shall be overcome. Man is a rope, tied between beast and overman — a rope over an abyss. What is great in man is that he is a bridge and not an end.”

This struck me really hard lately. Man is to be surpassed, in anything, always. The older you get the more irrelevant you become it feels like. Like becoming invisible or losing color slowly till you fade away in oblivion at old age/death. In my early and mid 20's I thought if I'd just stay in shape and do my best at staying healthy I would be able to overcome these things. But my health has been degrading and my body just feels like it's slowly but surely losing it's strength and vitality.

Really sucks

Agreed. If you're lucky, it also gives you a chance to appreciate how strong they are, and gives you no excuse to be weak yourself.

Miscers currently in their 20’s ...DONT waste it.

Don’t take it for granted. I miss the feeling of being able to push my body to the limit in my early 20’s.

Would do 2 gym workouts, play soccer, basketball, and golf all in the same day.

No way I can do that now

This right here. As we get older and busier with our lives, I noticed that just a quick 5 minute chat or a quick visit with my parents just brightens their day. I guess we all realize eventually that our days on this little blue ball floating in space will come to an end.

Looking at yourself in the mirror and seeing a bald and ugly guy. It's so dysphoric.

Also, how most women your age are either married, single moms, or whales. I feel like it's absolutely over for me.
It was all just satire. Sorry if I offended anyone with my trolling and sickening posts. Peace and love to everyone.

I'm 31 and still feel invincible and young. Only difference with now and back in my 20s and is that some chit doesn't entertain or excite me like it used to. I still feel 25 physically but early 30s mentally in some aspects.

Arthritis? That chit doesn't come till your 60s at least lol. Go see a doc.
Pulling sloots gets easier the older you get. At least in your 30s, 40s, up to mid 50s.
Hangovers being worse is true.
Financial stress? Depends on the situation.
Hair loss? Not me lol.
A lot of people I knew died in 2020. But they were young. Not old folks. One of them wasn't even 25 yet.

Yes and no.

Less excited for things which challenges you to find new motivation.

Physically you can’t recover like you used to.

But you’re wiser and more sure of yourself. You’re able to handle more situations because you’ve seen it all.

Also time moves really fast the older you get. I remember being in grade school and how long an entire year felt. Now it’s flying
