Afraid to?

Question

Soon I will be the big 3-0! I am afraid of turning 30. Can anyone help me calm down about this?

Answer 1

I can help you! Just come over to my house and myself and Jack ( the good ol boy ) will help you feel better about this in 1 point 2 shots! LOL!!

Answer 2

I freaked out about it too, until someone reminded me it's better than the alternative (meaning, not turning 30 at all!). Just imagine facing the bigger 4-0! I have a tendency to look at where I thought I should be at this stage in my life and get down about it, but you just have to think about the successes in your life and then get busy creating a great memory to go along with turning 30. Maybe taking a trip somewhere you've always wanted to go, take an interesting class just for personal knowledge, or getting that full body massage you've always wanted. Plan something on or around that day to distract yourself from turning 30, then you will see that, on the day after, nothing fell off your body, you can still walk upright, and can still remember what day it is (that is, if you didn't party too hearty the night before! Enjoy it -- that is, until 39 rolls around!

Answer 3

I just turned 30 this past summer and it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. No need to be afraid, there's nothing you can do to stop it, so embrace it and love it! Just remember there's still your 40's, 50's and so on to deal with. When you think about it like that, 30 (or 29 for the 2nd time, as I like to say) is a piece of cake! Get out there and work that 30!!!

Answer 4

I loved turning 30 here's why:

1) you are probably more 'wordly' or 'experienced' than you were at 20.
2) you probably know more of what you at least value or appreciate in your life than you did at 20.
3) 20-somethings are either working on a career or a relationship, by the time people get into their 30s - they are more evened out - most people have had some work and relationship experiences so that 30-somethings can usually relate well to others.
4) 30 is between 20 and 40. What an incredible age to be between very different groups that we can usually still relate to both.

Answer 5

OK, been there done that (I'm hitting the big 5-0 next year). Celebrate! A new milestone! It only gets better my dear. At 40 I felt truly great in my skin, and now nearly 50 I am more fabulous and wiser. Enjoy your life and the stages and years that you enter. Life's a ball. It's also messy sometimes, but it's all grist for the mill. Congratulations for making it thus far you hot babe. Love yourself. Love live. You only have one and you'll only be 30 once. 29 is over with, and now you're entering a new year. New you. Reinvent yourself. Buy yourself a present. Eat chocolate. Drink a toast to your health and happiness. Be brave and march forward in confidence.

Answer 6

Hey you are still young as long as you stay young at heart. I am now 55, soon to be 56. When I was in my 30's I was playing in a Rock Band & being mistaken for a person 10 years younger.
So stay young in your mind. Don't think of yourself as being in your 30's, you are just going through 20's withdrawl. You're a 29 plus. You are still on the young side of 60 (so am I).
The thing is at 30 you will still be young enough to do everything you did a decade ago, so use it, & don't lose it Honey!

Answer 7

HAHAHAHAHAHA, good luck. I freaked out when I turned 30. Although I couldn't believe I had made it that far, it was mostly because my life wasn't where I had imagined it to be by the time I was 30. No one was there to help me, just laugh because they all we 30 or older too. Try to remember how lucky you are to have made it to 30, ok. Get with friends, party up and have fun. You only turn 30 once, make the most of it.

Answer 8

When I was 20 I was afraid of 30. Now that I am 50+, 30 was just the beginning of the rest of my life.
Did you like the 20's?
The 30's will be what ever you make of it.
You are truly just as old as you think you are. Never grow up.

Answer 9

You are about to enter the best decade of your life.

In your 30's, your bod still looks good and your boobs are still perky. You've got over all those teenage skin problems that somehow continued into your 20's, but you're not old enough to have wrinkles. You've gained a lot of life experience, so you're a stronger, more confident woman. In other words, you're at the peak of your form.

And you have your 40's to look forward to, which in my book, are the best decade of all. Mind you, after that it's the 50's and then it's all downhill......

Answer 10

What makes you think you will be less attractive at 30? I think you be even more attractive, like a fine wine. Embrace 30 with open arms. Go out and enjoy the new group of men you get to "play" with.

Answer 11

aaahhhh? 30 is the new 20? Does that work?

Your life is what you make of it. If you expect life to go down hill after 30....then it probably will. Expectations will mess your head up, good or bad. Cherrish the good times, enjoy the now and let what ever happens in the future.... happen.
