Is there an age that freaks you out?

[Benjamin]

Is there a certain age that you dread being?

[King Gizzard]

24

[LemonJam]

21.

Wait.

[Shaun]

[inb4 niamh joke]

not really... though I imagine by the time I get to 80 I'll be bricking it (and not just because of loss of bodily function)

[Z]

Hmm, not really..

[michael21]

Is there a certain age that you dread being?

nope life too short to worry about thing like that

[Josy]

Nah I dont really care

[Benjamin]

Nah I dont really care

Really? At your age?

[Z]

Although, I was nervous on the day of my 18th birthday and my 18th birthday party. I was kind of scared of being allowed to drink alcohol :laugh:

[Marsh.]

I've been freaking out since I turned 18.

When someone asks me my age and I tell them, in my head I'm thinking "No, that can't be right". Time has started going so quickly.

[Benjamin]

I know what you mean marsh.

[Marsh.]

God knows how I'll feel when I turn 30. :sad:

[Benjamin]

Ditto. I have just over 12 months to find out. :(

[michael21]

I didn't realise you were that o.... er, that age. :laugh:

[Benjamin]

I'm not one to talk about myself. :hugesmile:

[Ramsay]

[rk3388]

30 ( no offense to anyone over that )

[Benjamin]

30 ( no offense to anyone over that )

:worship:

[LemonJam]

srsly though can someone tell me that 21 onwards is okay because Adele really didn't sell it to me. :\

[rk3388]

20's are the best years!

[Benjamin]

21 - 28 have been pretty good for me tbf. I've been to uni, made some great friends, travelled several times, lived in various countries, managed a business, been made redundant (okay that's not so good) and had a pretty good time.

[rk3388]

i really hope i can travel while in uni :( going this sept

[rk3388]

I've never been to Europe and REALLY want to at some point. Especially Germany, Italy and the UK in general.

[Benjamin]

You should do. Europe is great.

[rk3388]

You should do. Europe is great.

Thats why 30 is scary, cause I feel 20's is the best time to do all that kinda stuff

[Benjamin]

The 20's are, but you can travel whenever.

[MTVN]

Turning 20 freaks me out a bit, cos it seems like that's the age where everything starts becoming more real

[Benjamin]

I always forget you are only ten.

[Marsh.]

Yeah, I used to look at people who were my age and think they were so grown up and now I'm that age it's all a bit weird.

[Glenn.]

I'm dreading hitting 30 tbh

I'm dreading turning 25 this year. I wish time would just stand still and let me be forever youthful.

[Marsh.]

Yeah, isn't 25 where they say you reach the peak of physical fitness and then beyond that the only way is down?

[Glenn.]

Thanks Marsh :bawling:

[Marsh.]

Thanks Marsh :bawling:

No problem. :)

[King Gizzard]

for me, 24 just sounds really older than 22 and 23 for some reason, closer to 25..

when I was 13 I was dreading 16..when I was 16 I was dreading 18...18 dreading 21..21 dreading 24...and so forth

Don't think it will ever stop lol

[Livia]

There is no age that freaks me out, considering the alternative.

[lostalex]

definitely 30.

Now that i'm 31 I do feel ashamed of my age.

Everyone that dreads 30, let me tell you, it is as bad you think it will be. It's a horrible age.

[Vicky.]

Just being so old that I find it hard to get around and go about my life..though that could also happen if I became disabled, so the thought of that freaks me out too :sad:

[Marc]

BEN STOP MAKING US ALL FEEL LIKE WE'RE GETTING OLD!!!! l

[Vicky.]

We are though. Every second that goes by you are closer to dying. Does that make you feel good?

[Marc]

Meh I don't particularly care. But Ben seems obsessed with age with his recent threads :laugh:

[Vicky.]

Think hes having a midlife crisis tbh :idc:

[lostalex]

Think hes having a midlife crisis tbh :idc:

no, he was just drunk.

[Vicky.]

Same thing.

[Vicky.]

(for ben)

[Josy]

**** off Vicky, I was feeling good this morning til I read this bloody post.

Jesus christ :idc:

[Vicky.]

Good morning :D

[lostalex]

Mod fight!!!

cWk6RgQbPVc

[Saph]

27 because its like all downhill from there

[Jesus.]

Never understood the idea that people would get freaked out by being one day older than they were the day before.

[Josy]

Good morning :D

:joker::joker:

[lostalex]

Never understood the idea that people would get freaked out by being one day older than they were the day before.

besides the fact that it means you have one less day on this planet? it does feel like a count down my friend. and it goes faster and faster.

[Niamh.]

30 didn't really bother me but 31 did for some reason :laugh: Now I guess 40 is the next big milestone, I think after that I'll just stop caring

[Vicky.]

I'm looking forward to 30 actually.

Gavs 30 this year and hes looking forward to it too

We must be strange.

[Jesus.]

besides the fact that it means you have one less day on this planet?

It's not really something that you can decide to refuse though, is it? I was perfectly fine not existing billions of years before being born, and I'm fairly sure that will the case after my expiry date.

As Socrates said (I'm paraphrasing) "When I am, death cannot be, and when death is, I cannot be" Nothing to fear at all.

well of course it won't matter once we are actually dead. but we are humans, and we want to control everything, and we all think we are the center of the universe.

If you were given the opportunity to live forever, would you take it?

[swinearefine]

****ing terrified of turning 20, and then each subsequent age after that. If I ever hit 30 I'll be devastated and turn into the bitterest old bitch anyone's ever met.

[lostalex]

If you were given the opportunity to live forever, would you take it?

Absolutely. If i could live forever i would be invincible. I could shape the world however i liked it, because anyone who opposed me could not kill me. I could call myself a God and challenge anyone to try to kill me, and prove that i was invincible. I could convince humanity to worship me.

They could lock me away in a prison for life, but eventually someone would take pity on me and set me free again.

Who wouldn't want to live forever?

[Jesus.]

Absolutely. If i could live forever i would be invincible. I could shape the world however i liked it, because anyone who opposed me could not kill me. I could call myself a God and challenge anyone to try to kill me, and prove that i was invincible. I could convince humanity to worship me.

You really need to work on your self confidence.

I have no desire to live forever.

[lostalex]

Why not? Life is interesting. I want to see what happens next. Death would be boring.

[Jesus.]

I do understand that perspective, but I'm not sure once real aging sets in that many people would want to go on infinitely.

If I could stay like I am now forever, that would be great.

[Marc]

Aw no body replied with 'stone age' trollolololololol

[Kazanne]

God knows how I'll feel when I turn 30. :sad:

it's not so bad,I am having some of my best times now:hugesmile:

[Wildcat!]

Best way to think about it, Whatever age terrifies you, there is always someone thinking, "man, I wish I was still that age!"

[Benjamin]

Same thing.

:laugh:

[Apple202]

die young

mmhmmm

[Apple202]

Yeah, isn't 25 where they say you reach the peak of physical fitness and then beyond that the only way is down?

:laugh2:

[GiRTh]

I thought this meant age as in Ice age or stone age. :joker:

[Benjamin]

:laugh:

[Jake.]

Yes the thought of getting old like Ben does scare me some-what.

[Benjamin]

Don't worry, you won't be reaching this age if you carry on like that. :idc:

[Jake.]

And what are you going to do? :idc:

[Benjamin]

Pass on your details to that bondage guy and tell him you are interested in doing it. :idc:

[Vanessa]

Age doesn't bother me. I'll be 40 next week, but i still feel young inside. :hugesmile:

[Jake.]

Pass on your details to that bondage guy and tell him you are interested in doing it. :idc:

At least I'm worth far more than 100 quid you cheap ***** :idc:

[Benjamin]

That cut deep. :(

[Jake.]

Sorry :(

[Benjamin]

Too late.

-goes and sells self for 100 pounds-

[Benjamin]

this ****ing pound sign is annoying me. :(

[Jake.]

this ****ing pound sign is annoying me. :(

Don't worry I'm sure he can pay you in pennies

[Benjamin]

:joker:

[Vanessa]

this ****ing pound sign is annoying me. :(

Mine is next to the $ sign, Ben. :blush:

[Marsh.]

Think hes having a midlife crisis tbh :idc:

Well, Matthew Perry said he had his midlife crisis in his 20s, does happen. :laugh:

If you were given the opportunity to live forever, would you take it?

That sounds like hell. Not only would life get incredibly boring but if you take death out of the equation, it kind of reduces your quality of life if that makes sense.

You stop trying to make your life matter and lose the motivation to do things. If you lived forever you'd be constantly thinking "Oh, I've got ages to achieve those goals and do those things" and they'd never get done. You'd stop appreciating stuff.

:laugh2:

I was being serious. :laugh:

[Patrick]

40.

[Kizzy]

Yeah 40... what?... I am 40?....:bawling:

[Cherie]

Yeah 40... what?... I am 40?....:bawling:

:joker:

[Vanessa]

Everyone at work was shocked when i told them i'll be 40. They say i look younger. :hugesmile:

[Ammi]

..no, I've enjoyed every age I've been and wouldn't be who I am if I hadn't been those ages..and I'm happy being the age I am now and with all the people who mean a lot in my life....
