Someone Asked, “What Is A Clear Sign Of You Getting Older?”, Here Are 67 Of The Most Honest Responses
Everyone knows the physical signs of getting old: you start noticing fine lines and wrinkles, your knees and back start hurting, and you can no longer function properly without a full night's rest. And then, there are other signs of aging: the cashier is no longer asking you for an ID, those kids in the neighborhood are getting a little too loud, and you go from being a regular at a bar to a regular at a pharmacy. And though often depressing, signs that you're getting old also indicate that you're becoming more mature, wiser, and know yourself better than you ever did. Are those worth trading for softer skin? Some food for thought.
Either way, one of the harsh truths about life is that every single one of us is getting older. The only ones who don't experience aging are the ones who have already passed. Hence, though bittersweet, aging is an inevitable part of life, and signs of aging are pretty much signs of approval that things are going how they are supposed to. Some time ago, user NordicModro asked fellow users of the AskReddit community, "What is a clear sign of you getting older?" And thousands of users swamped the comments section to share signs of getting old that they have learned and encountered in life. Though some answers were relatively expected, many were oddly specific instances from people's daily lives, which made this thread even more appealing to dig through.
Below, we've compiled some of the most interesting responses from the thread, inviting people to share signs you're getting old and the instances they realized they were getting older. Can you relate to any of the statements? Let us know by giving them an upvote! Also, how would you answer that same question? In the comments, you can let us know by finishing the following sentence: "you know you are getting older when..."

They'll learn the world at their own pace and they don't need browbeating by some dad-lookin' guy. I only intervened when I thought they were being rude or when they were straight-up wrong. It was only driving home reflecting on it that I thought to myself, 's**t, I wish I'd learned to do that twenty years ago. Life would have been much more relaxing.'"

Natalie Kelsey 1 year ago
I'm the opposite. It used to drive me crazy if people were late or time was wasting. I got incredibly anxious if I was late and felt awful if I wasted someone's time. Now that I'm older and have raised kids and have gotten treatment for my own issues, I'm better at managing my own time and patience. So I don't let people down as often, and I have a lot more patience and understanding if other people lose track of time or make me wait. I have tons of things I can do in the meantime. I've come to think of punctuality as an ableist concept. There's so many people with executive functioning issues and mobility issues that might make them slower or bad at time management, and so many people who just need more compassion. I'm much more flexible these days. And if people are casually or callously wasting my time? I can gently drop them from my life, it's pretty easy to do that and makes for less drama. No biggie.

They all still want them. And they said, “it's cool because no one wears them that long anymore”. Case in point, the next day I saw a teen wearing a pair, only they stopped just above her ankles. didn't think that look could get worse but the kids have gone and done it."

Honestly, I think part of this is that you see more "teenagers" on TV and in movies than IRL, and Hollywood casts people in their 30s as teenagers, so you get a skewed idea of how people age. A complementary example: I'm literally at the age the Golden Girls were, but I don't look as old as they did. Styling has changed a LOT.

My boyfriend and friends always complained I was on it too much, I was constantly posting on TikTok, until one day I decided to randomly delete it. Until then, I thought I wasn't on it too much, but after deleting it, made me realize how much easier I got bored, I didn't wanna do anything else but sit on TikTok. Eventually, I got over all those feelings, and I haven’t downloaded it again. The whole app was toxic."

The only tiktok I see are the videos imbedded in google news and I still don't understand why 5 to 10 seconds of a dog or cat activity is work watching when I don't think they are that funny or interesting. Especially Newsweek pumping up some video about a cute dog/cat tiktok.

I do this at decor stores like Hobby Lobby. Not really going to buy but something might catch my eye.

😂😂 I felt depressed watching football this past season realizing I felt gross calling the young new quarterback hot. I'm old enough to be their mother at this point.

"Making healthy choices because the alternative is not worth the trouble. Eat birthday cake? No thanks, sugar makes me feel anxious and s***ty for days (it always did, but It took me 33 years to connect the dots). Wild molly bender? I dunno if I feel like 3 hours of bliss followed by a week of depression and low energy."
What do you think ?

I've been doing this for several years but i think it's just transfered feelings from my mom. At least that's what I hope it is. Or I'm just an old person stuck in teenager form.

Oh actually here's one which I honestly don't know if it's just me or what. I'm 43 and my wife is 39 (just for context). My wife will cook tinned (canned) food in the microwave such as soups and what not whereas I will ALWAYS cook the same food in a pot on the stove. Is that just me because she's always said it is?

My twins just turned the age I was when I had them. Had my first major surgery. People who are 30 look like kids to me. Go to bed way too early.

We recently realized we are the age our parent were when we were mid puberty- but we are not THAT old!

I realized it when I took my readers off to watch TV but then couldn't see my hangnail to clip it... Couldn't even see it with my glasses.
