turned 21?-lol I was talking to a friend of mine and she said she was depressed when she turned 21. Who the hell gets depressed when they turn 21 years old? I didn;t start feeling like I was getting older until I was 27. But before 27, the thought of getting old never entered my mind

na, i didn't feel old when i felt 21.. i really felt the same.

I never really got depressed about my age until I hit 35. Thats when I felt old. :lol:

I'll get back to you on that one in about 7 months.

nope. as a matter of fact, the older I got, the younger I still felt and appear. I am going to be 41 and people don't believe me. Now why the F*** would I lie abt being OLDER????? When I was a teen I would lie abt my age (being older).

Depressed???? are you kidding me Solomon??? God, there are so many things in this world to get depressed over. Have the person you are talking abt read that article abt the woman who went into the hospital to have a baby and was released a quadraplegic amputee!!!! Now that's depressing!

At 21? No way. I was pretty happy when I became 21.

I didnt feel older at 21 either.

Nah. Now at 26, that's a different question. :lol:

Im 26, and i still dont feel old. :lol:

I was kind of depressed when I turned 30 and didn;t want anyone to say happy 30th birthday but they did it anyway-lol

i would rather be 30 than 60! :lol:

Well, I just turned 21 not even 2 months ago, and I can tell you that I really do feel sometimes like I'm getting old. Not necessarily "old" in the literal sense, but...I dunno. Older than I've ever felt before.

Like, I still feel and act like a teenager, and I always wonder how old will be 'too old' to be that way anymore. Really, the last time I identified with my age was when I was 16, cause it was just such a great time for me and lots of times, I find myself wishing I could still be 16. Up until a couple of years ago though, I could still pass for 16-17, and now even when people don't know my exact age, they at least assume that I'm 19-20. I don't like people looking at me and automatically knowing I'm an adult.

Most of my interests though are teen interests, and I always wonder if when I'm in my 30s if I'll be the same way, or if I'll actually have adult interests. It's pretty confusing, and I always wonder if people see me and go "God, that guy needs to realize he's not young anymore."

I was excited about turing 21. After all, that was drinking age.:lol: I'll be 30 in August and even though I often kid around about feeling old, I still feel pretty young.

It all starts going fast after you're 21. I'll be 35 next month and I feel like I'm ready to plan my funeral. Of coarse, I know when I'm 60 I'll be laughing and asking myself "Why was I so depressed in my thirties for?"

I thought most people look forward to 21... now I am not looking forward to 30

I was glad when I turned 21, because I was old enough to buy alcohol. LOL Turning 21 is like getting your driver's license. When I got to my late 20s, people start warning me that 30 was creeping up. At 31, I still feel like I did 10 years ago.

21 was a great age....30 kind of was depressing but not devastating.

I got depressed when I was 23. I had just graduated from college and I couldn't find a job because the George H.W. Bush recession began in New Jersey before it began nationwide. Between 1988 and 1991, I wished I was still in college, because I couldn't get my act together in the outside world! :( I didn't get to enjoy that time of my life very much.

Not at 21, but I remember how depressed I felt when I turned 20. It felt weird going into my 20s after being used to my teens. Now...pfft... it's nothing now.... It'll probably be the same way for me when I turn 30. *worried look*

I'll be 34 next month and it's just now starting to hit me :(

Yes. I dont necessarily feel 'old', but I feel like these are the best years of my life and Im not doing anything. I just feel like Im not doing enough to be successful or enjoy my youth and Im just living it plainly. When I was younger this is not how I had envisioned myself at 21.

I felt pretty old at 21. Mostly physically though. Now I'm 24, and that's the age my mind feels, but my body feels more like what I'd imagine it would feel like at 60. I'm pretty worn down most of the time.

i really started feeling old, when i realised i was too old to date college girls :blush:

I turn 20 in a couple months and the way I look at it, I am half-way to 40 which scares me. I know in the grand scheme of things I am not by any means old but in my own mind I think that I am. As well, my brother is turning 22, and the thought of being in my 20's makes me feel older. Its weird you used to look at college kids when you were younger and be like "wow" and feel like they are so much older. Now that I am at that level, its a mixed feeling, I sometimes want to be back in highschool and then other times can't wait for my life ahead, marriage, ect.

my sister just turned 21 a few months ago so i asked her.. and she said no. it felt like her life was finally starting.

Well howold is too old to date a female that is in her last year in college? I'm 30 and currently getting to know a 22 year old.

I'm 25 and I have days when I feel like an old woman.

I felt good at 25, it wasn't until 27 when I felt like an old man. Maybe that's why I only want to date females 20-23-lol

Well I have two kids a husband and a job that takes up way to much of my time. I have more responsibilities then what you had at 25.

Good Luck finding a meaningful relationship with a 20 yr old :lol:

Well, when that big #4 began to precede all my ages 40 41 42 ...etc..I thought i was truly too old for college girls and was turning down dates with 28 yr old women...strangely when i was 41, i had a torid thing with a 22 yr old woman! @_@ ( She turned out to be a fickle and immature cheater , and since then, i totally reject anyone under 30! )

I would never take a 21 year old female seriously, it would just be someone to play with-lol

I'm 21 now,

I'll be 21 in 2 years, does that count? LOL! A lot of people actually think I'm about 24 or 25 when they see me. I get asked out by some 30 something year old guys because of it, LOL!!!

That's so inmature of your part. At 21, I was already married.:p

That's so inmature of your part. At 21, I was already married.:p

ITA with you on that one. That's one reason people think I'm older than I am is because I act like a mature adult, not some ditzy college girl.

That's so inmature of your part. At 21, I was already married.:p
hmmm ive never been married, but, thats cause im 44 going on 16 :P

It all starts going fast after you're 21. I'll be 35 next month and I feel like I'm ready to plan my funeral. Of coarse, I know when I'm 60 I'll be laughing and asking myself "Why was I so depressed in my thirties for?"i know what your going through im turning 35 in aug. and im starting to feel like im ready to move into a retirement home

I'm going to be 21 in a few months, and to be honest, I feel old mentally. Some of the things my friends do seem so obnoxious to me--drinking, going out every night, taking a day off to smoke weed... no thanks.

I'm graduating this time next year and so is my girlfriend. I feel like proposing, buying a home and even start a family. :eek:

When I was younger I felt as if I would want to live up my single days, it's funny how things quickly change.

I don't know how anyone could feel old mentally at 21

I just turned 26 on Sunday and I am starting to feel a little old only because it is getting closer to 30. It is like 30 is there pulling at you...lol. Times goes by so fast. But at 21, I did not feel old at all but it seems like once you hit 21 the years seem like they go even faster.

21 is a partying age, I don't know why anybody would feel old at 21.

That's so inmature of your part. At 21, I was already married.:p



Well most 21 year olds are not looking to settle down.

I don't know how anyone could feel old mentally at 21

I feel like I'm too old to be partying, like it's time for me to settle down. :\

Good answer Mikado. My best friend is ten years younger than me and at the age of 19 she was very mature. She graduated from paralegal school and we worked side by side. She was so mature, people didn't think she was only 19. I would never think in my life I would be best friends with a girl who was ten years younger than me. Obviously, you can't judge people by their age...ONLY BY THEIR MATURITY AND HOW THEY CARRY THEMSELVES.
