I feel like I'm 15, the last time I remember feeling anything resembling life.

the last time I remember feeling anything resembling life. I get this. I look in the mirror for me and all I see is this old guy looking back. It is like waking up in the future. What am I doing here and how did this happen? I have certain memories all but gone from my past, but I should remember the last few years like I was there wouldn't you think? I just don't remember getting here.

I think that's true for all of us who waited a long time to really understand ourselves. Just be careful not to fall into the manic brain state of trying to compensate for everything all at once now that you can see clearly. Granted, that's advice that I can give, but not live up to myself. :laugh:
Live this moment so that you don't look back in another five years wondering where it went. It's all we can do. :)

Depends on what kind of day i'm having - some days i feel 18, and some days i feel 70. Looking in the mirror doesn't help, there's an old guy looking back at me.

i am 20. I picked (30-40) ive been told before that I have an old soul. I dont really act like a twenty year old. I dont party or do typical young things, I just stay at home and relax with my cat. I also tend to make friends easier with people in their 30-40's, ive been noticing this for a while actually, I dont connect with younger people as well.

I feel 16. I'm going through a rebellious-teenager phase that didn't start til I was 18 or 19. Guess I'm a late bloomer.

I think I don't really get age. I'm bad at guessing other peoples' ages, so why guess my own?
Around 17 things got a looot better for my overall state of mind. Around 30 I felt like the warranty had run out on my body and I better actually think about routine maintenance. I still aspire to be childlike, but irresponsible only in controlled bursts...

I sometimes feel 6, I sometimes feel 66... as a very great novelist put it,
'Children and oldies; we all skip together.'
I guess I feel like skipping more than I feel like an age.
(NB: The great novelist was not me, but my housemate, who's children's novel I finished reading today. http://www.wix.com/chrissoul/gaianewton (http://www.wix.com/chrissoul/gaianewton) )

I mostly lean towards feeling older. Not old in the way that I feel tired but old in the way it just feels like I have been here for a very long time. I guess I would say I have an old soul.

My 'age' depends greatly upon whether or not my children are awake and their proximity and level of screaming.

I feel old as dirt, like ancient. I should retire if i can.
I am in the 35 to 40 range in real life, but feel 50 to 60.

Me too. These days, I don't feel like an age. Or a gender. I feel like a Californian who works in publishing, lives on an island, drinks too much coffee, and dreams of getting an adult-sized tricycle and painting it paisley.
