Your brain isn’t even fully developed. Cmon now.

I’m 34 and I still feel as young as I did at 24, I haven’t experienced any fitness “degradation”. However I don’t have kids; I imagine if that happens and responsibility for another human kicks in it could feel a bit different 😅

im moving the cutoff as i age and im not going to stop :p

“Old” starts at 60-65, not 24 xD

Yes you were a kid before and now you become a young woman

Lol

Shut up.

Even after 40, there’s no shortage of people calling you “young”. The actually young people don’t call you “old” the same way. Just be glad you’re alive.

You can consider yourself anything you like. Time is relative. I’m older than you and would say 24 is young. A nineteen year old might look at you as an antique. The trick is to know your audience. Don’t openly call yourself young if you’re among the elders in the room.

OP, every day for the rest of your life you’re going to be the oldest you’ve ever been. As time goes on, that age will even become a number you never much thought about or imagined yourself reaching. Around 24 you have pretty much passed all the major rites of initiation and markers of adulthood. There’s nothing else here except getting older. My advice is to get out that imagination and think about what you want your life to be at 50, because it will come.

As a 23 yo who is mostly surrounded by people aged 50-80, you still have a good few decades left. Some people in their 70s treat life like a 30 yo would.

Yes lol. You’re still a baby. The cutoff is in your late 30s to early 40s.

I bet your knees and back don’t even hurt yet.

You can consider yourself whatever you want for however long you want.

If you feel young and people thing you are weird for saying so that is their problem. Young is a feeling not a number.

If you are asking it trying to get a sense of how other people view that age, you might want to assist with who are the people around you that are in the same age bracket and think about each of them when they are with you. How’s do they act, so they do anything childish. Do they seem different from how they were 4 years ago

I think you are a young person at that age. I’m 20 years older than you.

When i was your age, 911 happened. The world did not feel nearly as complex as your first 5 years as an adult have been.

How old you feel can change on a lot of things but man you have had to deal with a lot in those last few years and today is a bigger wtf Than the last 4 years, even before that COVID you had to deal with the first Trump administration (assuming you are in America) so where have you got to live with the I’m a young adult starting out in the world mindset? It has felt like one looming that after another.

Unless you are one of those that have been able to turn your brain off and not pay attention to the world around you, i have great sympathy for young adults like you. I think you are going to be the generation that defines the future, it might take another 30 years but you and others your age are going to have some strong opinions when you get into positions of leadership and i think it will be great for everyone when you get there.

You feel old, but i promise you that you aren’t old, that’s just exhaustion from life and maybe it’s the way generations are getting shorter.

Tech is where the world has been since the dot.com bubble and it reshaped the world. You were born at the beginning of a line of demarcation in history. I was born in in the pocket before that where the people that taught me didn’t grow up in a world that looks like today.

The Internet in your pocket is a new era and you are going to be one of the people that defines what modern humans are.

Products of an environment that changes every 6 months.

You are probably starting to see the world looking at people younger than you in a way you have never felt before, the bandits of DOGE are younger than you.

The highest paid athletes are starting to be younger than you

You are cruising through a threshold that might be hard to grasp.

But you are not old.

Not to me or many other people

If it bothers you know that how old someone comes across as really isn’t related to your physical age.

You can continue to think of yourself as a young woman for a while yet, but you still likely never stop feeling younger than your actual age. I know people 15 years older than me that act younger than i feel.

Not all, but a big enough number of women have told me 26 is when they stopped feeling like a kid, but many people have a concern with not being in their 20s, it really doesn’t mean much i promise you that you can feel great about your age no matter what it is and that the challenges in life that you need to solve for, and the solutions you need to use, are what make us feel younger or older than you are

0 to 30: young. 30 to 60: middle age. 60 to 90: old. 90 to 120: ancient.
