Is 25 old?

It’s not old but I don’t find it particularly young. Young for me is under 20..
 
I'm 28 next month and I've accomplished very little that I wanted to achieve, especially as
I can't see myself living past 33
I don't feel like 25 is old though. Its weird the difference a few years makes on perspective

You're very young at 25. But I do understand why you're asking the question. There's a lot of pressure to be sorted in life by that age. Do not worry, just 'do you' ...The feeling of 'am I too old ?', in my experience starts at 21 and never goes away. I'm 46 and still remember how I felt when I was 15 as if it was yesterday xx

My G/F is 24, and doesn't think 25 is old at all.

At the moment she loves been 24 because she is constantly been asked to show proof of ID, when it comes to buying booze in shops and supermarkets:LOL:


Regrettably I don't get asked at all at 27 :(;)
 
Just turned 30. I’ve got over the pressure of feeling like I should be married with kids and a mortgage by this point in life. My life is nowhere near sorted or in that place. I do often find myself looking at other 30 year olds and thinking they are proper grown ups and then have a panic 😂 My career took a lot out of me during my 20s. I honestly feel really grateful I have made it to this point in life sometimes and try not to beat myself up about where I am compared with others. I’ll get there one day! I still get asked for ID sometimes and seem to be a magnet for men younger than me recently. After wasting the last few years of my 20s in a crappy relationship, I’m looking forward to the fun my 30s will bring when we can go out and interact with other humans properly 😁😂

I’m 25 and it’s strange because sometimes I feel “old” yet sometimes i still feel like I’m at school 😂 so I live with my partner of 5.5 years and we have a 3 year old & a 3 month old and I think that makes me feel OLD because I’m living that “mundane” day to day lifestyle of get up, be mummy, do chores, cook dinner, kids to bed, my bedtime lol and when I compare to my 3 closest friends who aren’t as settled yet and are still enjoying nights out & girls holidays (pre covid obvs) I feel very distant from them in terms of lifestyles which I think in my head makes me feel older. But then in other ways I still feel really young it’s hard to explain and I think it’s more confidence/anxiety levels with me tbh but like going to the dr or having to make important phone calls idk why but I always feel like I’m younger than what I am in those instances and like I need someone to tell me what to do 🤣 yet I wouldn’t hesitate to take my children to a dr or phone whoever about something regarding them as I think I have a good ‘false’ confidence when it comes to my children. I’ve just rambled it probably makes ZERO sense I apologise 😂😂😂

i'm 26 and have really mixed feelings about being this age.

i look back on my life so far and i've had an amazing time, i went to uni and did all the stuff youngsters do and it was the best time of my life. however i REALLY miss that way of life now i have a full time job, and it makes me feel like i'm regressing and holding onto the past. from age 23 until now i feel like my zest for life and happiness has skyrocketed downhill. but in the grand scheme of things, i really am still so young, nobody really knows what they're doing or where they're going to be.

i still live with my parents but i have a full time job, albeit a bit of a "bottom of the pile" job and only bring in around £1400 a month, i have aspirations to be on 25k+ a year by the time i'm 30, but i understand this is probably not going to be feasible

i'll just keep plodding on and hope things will get better, but aging really scares me

Although our lives are different, I can relate to a lot of what you've said

25 is not old. No where near old! Bloody hell, 25 is young!!!!!!!!!!!!!! At 25 you are at the start of your adult life, I find it deeply depressing that anyone would view 25 as old or think that their best years were behind them.

When you pass 60 you look back on your 20s and 30s as a learning phase...jobs,relationships,babies etc...
Make the most of it all,believe me time really does fly by.
Just be kind,fair and honest and then you can look back with peace of mind !

As others have said it’s all relative.
People shouldn’t worry about getting old because it’s better than the alternative!

I hated my “milestone“ birthdays of 20 and 30 but after that, having lost friends who were way too young, I realised that they’d have given anything for a few extra years so I embraced my 40th and 50th.

Remember, ageing is a privilege denied to many.

I turn 28 in Feb and feel soooooo old. I feel like it's because I haven't accomplished anything though
