I have learned the difference between “your” and “you’re”.
I guess I’m still growing as a person
For me, it’s correcting people that.
You can’t stand grindy videogames. You see young adults as children, and their behavior becomes irritating.
I find it takes much, much longer to heal from injury. That’s the main downside I’ve experienced. When I say longer - when about 8 yo I broke my arm, it took 5-6 weeks to heal, maybe 10 to really heal, stop swelling ever and feel exactly like the other. When about 45 I broke my finger and it took 2 years to fully heal and feel like the rest of them.
But it also takes longer to get mad, I’m less irritable, more perspective I guess. Easier to feel happy/satisfied, too, it’s closer to the surface now.
Back pain
Deadlifts fixed my back pain completely. Ymmv.
thanks, i’m trying with swimming now, hopefully it’ll help
You start correcting people when they say “your” instead of “you’re” :-)
Quite the opposite.
The older you get the less clever it feels to point out the common mistakes of others
It’s replaced with a desire to help people be better.
Agreed. Matter of fact, I usually direct the offending party to one of two, if not both, sites.

Always a good time.
Vision. It gets hard to read in low light, driving at night is tough, you can’t quite figure out how close or far to hold a book or phone.
Alcohol. You just don’t shake it off like you did when you were younger. Now you really think about whether that next drink will be worth the shitty sleep.
Money. You talk about property taxes and 401k contributions more often than you ever thought you would.
Patience. You’re more patient with kids and your parents, and way less patient with everything else.
Memory and visual attention when you get closer to 60. You can’t remember all 10 digits of a new phone number with an unfamiliar area code; often one of the 4 last numbers will end up transposed with a neighbor. Visual attention: looking on your garage shelves or cupboards for an item and not seeing it even though it’s in plain sight.
0118 999 881 999 119 725 3
and my own phone number, nothing else.Is it not normal? This describes me perfectly and I’m not even 30 yet. (Well in a few months I won’t be able to say that anymore, but still)
Your first gray pube.
What age?
For me sometime soon after 40.
I don’t heal as fast anymore. Cuts and scrapes turn into scars easier.
The amount of candles on you’re birthday cake are so numerous that the fire department comes out.
Presbyopia
For me it clicked when pretty girls started tallking and being nice to me
It’s probably because you stopped caring so much and acting awkwardly around them
It is! Hence the realization that I got older. Sorry, re-reading my comment above I wasn’t clear
“You’ve exited the dating pool but aren’t in old adult territory yet”, someone I’ve heard describe it once.
Your perception and outlook on time changes a lot.
Everything seems to go by faster. Waiting for something doesn’t seem that bad when it’s in terms of days instead of hours, weeks instead of days, months instead of weeks, years instead of months.
When making long term plans, “how long you think you’ll live” becomes more and more of a factor.
definately physical pain on stuff you used to do on the regular. Had a job were I would get impatient waiting for a delivery and would jump off the dock to go check if I could see the truck. A little after I got into my thirties I jumped off one day and just stopped and stood still in a crouched position for a bit. I never “felt” the landing like I did that day before. It was the sart of what would be a long line of things I would cease to do.
When you fall down nobody laughs. Only concern.
Next up: you don’t fall down, you “have a fall”.
You look at your weekly pill container to know what day of the week it is.
Making interjections when standing up, from a chair, from bed, getting out from your car seat, etc …
Preposterous!
