    The “everything hurts” part comes a lot later if you don’t live a sedentary lifestyle.
    Even with an office job, you have at least 8 hours a day when you’re not forced to sit on a chair or sleeping. Use them!

    Constantly thinking of finances

    • how much is it?
    • do I need it?
    • can I afford it?
    • should I just forget about it? … yeah forget about it

      This is really more about financial stress rather than adulthood. I was constantly on the verge of being broke until I became an adult and started working and (eventually) got a well paid job. Somewhat pedantic, I know, but financial stress is not an integral part of adulthood.

      • do I need it?

      Start there. If it’s not clearly a no, repeat multiple times over several weeks and one can quickly learn when to spent time thinking about these things.

        Being an adult doesn’t mean you’re only entitled to buy stuff you need. Don’t forget to treat yourself or others once in a while if you can afford it and it’s something you really want.

    Threw my back out while unloading the dishwasher, while listening to quietly playing triphop, and wearing my comfy cardigan.

    • rather sleep than go out
    • comfort before style
    • always annoyed (if anything this was worse when I was younger)

    My entire friend group got hit with back pain in the same year as we’re about to hit our 30s. We’re a bunch of office workers who continue to sit in front of computers after work though so its completely on us. Trying to work on changing that

    edit: disagree with the weight and going out parts though. I’ve still got that in me

      Exercise can severely reduce or even eliminate back pain.

      I’ve been running daily for about a month and a half. Because I got fat.

      Everything hurts all the time but a couple more months of this and that’ll more or less stop and the back pain will be better once I’ve lost the weight.

      Which I will. I’ve done it before. A bunch of times. So it goes.

      Daily stretches no joke help a ton for aches and pains. Even better to also exercise. Once I started being serious, I was able to work through lower back and neck pain. Now I have to specifically screw up to hurt the next day.

      … Too bad sleeping in the wrong position is “screwing up” these days, though…
