I am 20 now and I feel very young, I just wondered at what age people usually starting feeling and thinking that they are getting old?

age is a state of mind. you're only as young as you feel
most people start to feel the pinch of life @ 40, while others say their life began at that age. it's all up to you.

I just turned 30 in May. Old age is brutal, let me tell you. It is all downhill after 30. I suppose I started feeling like a geezer around 29, but now I am one.
My advice to you is to live it up while you're young. You'll be old like me before you know it. I can remember 20 like it was yesterday, but it was more than 10 years ago.
Don't let any opportunities pass you by, some stuff is harder to do when you're old. All of that being said, I'm not really as bitter as I sound. I'm getting used to being a geezer and starting to accept it - but it is not that easy. I will probably just be starting to accept 30 by the time I turn 40 - but once I'm that old it won't matter much anyway because I'll be so old that I'll almost be dead - and hopefully age won't really matter as much since I'll essentially be on borrowed time anyway.

I am forty five and feel young, like I felt when I was twenty years old. If you don't smoke and ruin your skin you might not notice too much of an out ward change until you are in your forties But if you stay in shape and work out, avoid junk food and the wild party life you will feel great for a long, long, time. Also it helps to be at peace with God. I get a good nights sleep every night because I know Jesus is carrying my burdens.
Have a Happy, Long, Live!

At 21 I started to feel old and I'm 23 now. I was out on my own at 15 with no choice and I had to make my own way in life. So by the age 23, I had dropped out of school, lived with an abbusive boyfriend, gone back and graduated, kicked an alchol problem, left my abbusive boyfriend, got a job that I love and fell in love with a great guy and am planning on college.

Its really true that the older you get, the younger people who are older than you - seem.
When I was 30, 60 seemed so ancient, now I'm 66, 80 seems to me the age one should be starting to call themselves middle aged......
I feel, and still do most stuff I did in my 30's, I don't look 66, and try not to act it, and I certainly don't feel it. But then I don't know how its supposed to feel........ LOL
The age number is just that, a number, enjoy every moment of the age you are now.

Yesterday I did felt that I was getting old, and then a little later I did felt that I was getting young. The juxtaposition of those two feelings bemused me terribly. The guy across the street suggested maybe I was being melodramatic. Now that you're twenty you better start making preparations. What was your question again?

Im 37 and feel like im 24 to 27 so supose as you get older you feel a bit older but not your real age.
I have asked my mother the very same question not long back and she is 66 she said she feels around 40
