I'm 61, but I feel 20 years younger than my age; - or at least I do until I do something that my 20 year older body objects to.

I have never really felt my age but that may have something to do with never fitting in with my peers. When I was younger, teens and early 20's, folks thought I was older. By the time I hit my 30's folks thought I was younger. I am also not very good at recognizing age in others. The only thing that makes me feel like a 30 something is the grey hairs and assorted ailments. I guess I have just never been able to nail down my existence, felt so untethered to society at large, not for lack of trying. I also tend to miss out on the big life moments. No prom, no college, no mortgage, no mariage etc. I haven't cellebrated my birthday in years.

I have always been aware of missing out but... well, only how I behave in the future can change that, the past is what it is.

I'm actually considering celebrating my birthday this year. It feels like I finally have a life worthy of such things.

I look younger than my age (by about 10-years, according to people who guess), but I feel much older.

My body tells me I'm my age, but my mind hopes I can still live the life I always dreamed of when I transition.

I'm 37. On a good day, I get asked for ID when buying alcohol. On a bad day, I look a wreck. I often feel surprisingly jaded and old (but not necessarily wise or experienced) beyond my years. Hopefully, life really does begin at 40 as I'm aiming to be transitioned by that point.

No way!
I run between 20 to 30km a week, I eat well and apart from pretty much every joint in my body popping at will, I feel better than I did when I was 20

Oddly enough, I felt a lot older than my peers in my 20s - married and "settled down" at 22, bought a house at 24 - that it's only lately that I feel close to my actual age. It's kinda nice.

I'm almost 40, even though people I ask say I look like I'm in my mid 20s and I think so too. Hormones and electrolysis with a good, lean diet is the magic recipie. Do I feel my age? Hell yes I do. I still remember moments from the late 70s and much of the 80s. Makes me feel ooooold. I do have a great face and a bangin body I must say. But, I'm not without chronic injuries I picked up over the years.

I certainly don't feel my age, i'm 40 in a few weeks but still feel like i'm in my late teens/ early 20's. The closest I get to feeling my age is when I joke that my transition is my mid life crisis (which is probably closer to the truth than I like to let on to most people), at least my transition will last longer than a tacky sports car.

I'm just over 50 and I still feel like I'm 25 and if it wasn't for the white hair I'm starting to get I could probably pass as that or younger (being fat helps that because you have no wrinkles) but I'm determined to lose all my excess weight and actually get to a weight that a women my height would weigh so when I get there I may feel differently especially when I look in the mirror (I'm expecting wrinkles and sagging skin but I'm hoping I won't see that) I'm totally getting FFS and I'm expecting to get a face lift at the same time so after that is done I'm hoping to feel the same way I do now.

I usually feel younger than my age, 61. Today, I feel 'old'! Maybe it is the white/grey hair (I am growing my hair out, what little I have, instead of shaving my head), or maybe it is the struggles I am dealing with. Transition is not going as smoothly as it did earlier. Bumps on the path! I just feel tired and have little energy.

Maybe tomorrow will be better. I have my next electrolysis appointment and then on Friday I have my next endo appointment.
