So, one Redditor recently approached the AskReddit community with the question what made you realize you are not young anymore? A heavy-hitting question, to be honest, and even more so for those in their older years.

While the upvotage was on the modest side, clocking in at a bit over 1,000 upvotes, it engaged quite a bunch of people across 3,700 comments.

Growing old is definitely a surreal feeling—one that might have some overlap with the overall human experience, but mostly it feels very personal. After all, we all experience the world through very slightly nuanced senses, our fates are different, just like our choices in life, and thus we end up with a slightly different result in the end, making our golden years either great or not as much. If at all existent.

First, interestingly, is the idea that the real difference between being young and growing old is not physical, nor mental. It’s rather just the cumulative weight of all the years left behind you. Time doesn’t grant wisdom. It just progresses and gets compressed into what feels like a timespan that happened a week or two ago.

Another factor of being old is having to deal with the colossal amount of everything that you’ve probably completely forgotten about over the years. Past holiday experiences, books read, shows watched, friends had—all of it gets shed with time. And that’s fine. Your brain simply conserves space by forgetting things it doesn’t really need.

People Share How They Realized They’re Not That Young Anymore (39 Answers) I call these moments "coffin nails"

1. The first was when I worked at a record store and when chatting with a customer, said customer's kid asked "what's Atari?"
2. Later, a friend of mine worked with teens, one of those teens asked me if I was a skater "back in the day" making me realize my youth was in fact "back in the day" to some people.
3. Hearing music I loved as a teen/young adult on "classic" radio stations.
1. Also being mocked for listening to radio.
4. A couple years ago, I found out I was the same age as a co-worker's mother.
5. As of last year, 2 of my brother's 3 kids are old enough to drink.
6. Just now realizing I'm the same age now as Wilford Brimley was in Cocoon.

According to statistics, at least, older folks generally grow to be happy. You might think old age means everything hurts and you’re closer to the end than you have been ever before, but it’s probably all the free time you get to focus on yourself.

But that might always be the case. Age kills ambition because you realize that everyone dies, nothing matters or are hit by a similar sobering realization.

On a lighter note, though, you might notice how older folks always keep the radio (or their equivalent of audio equipment) on. If you’re wondering why they do that—it’s just always been on. You can turn it off once we’re gone.

Also, something to look forward to: older folks tend to be more careful. Despite having avoided every pitfall in life thus far, but still, don’t take risks.

I thought there might be some kind of Friday night special (completely forgetting that "today" was Thursday). Gave the kid the five and stuck the single back in my pocket.

Mine was when someone asked my partner and I to go out in town clubbing and I couldn't think of a worse hell. I used to love getting on it and dancing all night but now I'd rather eat glass. It's 7.30pm here and I'm currently in bed and reminded how much I hate new music.

My grandmother would always say that she didn't feel old until she looked at her grandchildren, then she felt ancient.

My youngest son is now the same age as I was when I was pregnant with my eldest son. That reminds me how old I am. Then I remember I am only 42 and that's really not that old, but having grown up kids sure makes you feel it.

My parents owned a video store way back in the 90s, and I got nosy a few months ago and decided to try and look to see if the internet knew about it at all. I found one of the pins that I helped make! Yay! ... labeled as 'vintage' on eBay. My best friend has been making Mock of me super hard about it :(

When you see your childhood toys in the antique store, when you are the same age as the Golden Girls, when you say "Back in my day" a lot.

When we were out celebrating my aunt's birthday and the son of one of my cousins was ordering alcoholic drinks. No way is he old enough, I remember when he was born. And yes, he is old enough.

Was at the dog park yesterday. Saw a Jack Russell Terrier and said "he looks a lot like Eddie from the Frasier TV show." Dog's owner said "I've never heard of that show."

I remember feeling old when I realized that the first video game console I bought with my own money as an adult (the PS2) was old enough to be considered retro (ie. 15+ years old). Now the console generation after that is old enough to be considered retro, and the one after it is going to hit that milestone in a mere 4 years.

I realized my age when talking to someone younger and I'd say "back in my day" and then I hear a youngster say "back in the day I........... " My response - "as in back in the day before yesterday?"

When you feel the urge to say "Stop skatin on the sidewalk" or "Get off my lawn". I say these as self-deprecatory humour when someone wants to show me some new TV show.

Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. But no later than 8.30pm, otherwise I can't get to sleep

The opposite of my grandmother. When we shopped at the Krogers near her townhouse, at the checkout she reminded the cashier that she was old if it was senior discount day.

I feel your pain. In my case I got a senior discount for a train ticket. I did go entirely grey by 40, but I was still only 43.
