I feel physically sick. You’ve just made me realise I’m closer to my 50s than being a teen. Oh my good god.

It hurt when a girl in her early 20s referred to me as a woman It confirmed I look older, yet I still feel and act like her age

You’re a CHILD!
I’m 57. In my head I’m still in my prime, then I look in the mirror and there’s some wrinkly old bat staring back at me.

I was at an airport waiting for food last year and heard the waitress say the lady is waiting for her food. I looked round thinking what lady and realised they meant me, but I'm still a girl in my mind (I'm definitely not, I'm 44 )

I feel like I'm maturing mentally in reverse though sometimes. I took myself so seriously in my teens and 20s that I didn't really enjoy them, I feel more like a rebellious teen now than when I was an actual teen It's true what they say - the older you get the less you care what anyone thinks of you

I've been warned that you really don't give a sh1t one you're age 60. Having seen this modelled by both my own and friends mothers it does make one feel nervous for oneself.

I work in a secondary school and said to one of the pupils ‘the world is your lobster’ (Arthur Daley - Minder). A teacher in her 30’s looked at me and said ‘surely you mean oyster?’.

A few years ago I had a trainee teacher in my class and I was telling her how I was going to see Robert Plant that night. Totally blank faced reaction as she had no idea who he was and had never heard of Led Zeppelin. 🫣

Like when a parent says to their kid on a scooter “Mind the lady” and you turn to let the old pensioner with her shopping trolley go past, but realise there is no one else there and you in fact are the old lady the kid is being warned about

When someone's late 40s and they're 15 years younger than me. I'm still late 40s in my head (and body - no, who am I kidding? )

My goddaughter wanted to go "thrifting" today and knew of a new vintage shop close by ... I love a dig through a charity shop so said I'm in!. Now vintage to me is tea dresses, brooches etc but no rail upon rail of Champion jumpers, kappa poppers, Adidas track tops. https://giphy.com/Lcn0yF1RcLANG

One of my kids is learning to drive. Today she asked me why I left my car in gear. I explained that when I learnt to drive 30 YEARS AGO that’s how we were taught. 30 years!!!! I find myself saying ‘in my day’ a lot now too
