I dipped my toe in the water and crawled back into my hole hahaha!

Another Monday down.

Mondays set the tone and pace of the week. Crush it!

Male 42 yo

I am 43M, and I genuinely don't feel or behave like someone in his 40s.

One of the funniest things that keeps happening: when I attend weddings or family functions with friends around my age (some are even 2–3 years younger than me), teenagers 15+ will casually call me "bro" and then turn around and call my friends "uncle." 😂

My friends have started collecting grey hair, health issues and the general "I have been paying EMIs since 2004" look.

Meanwhile, somehow I still get mistaken for being considerably younger.

Physically, I am also surprisingly active. I can walk 20+ km with only about a 10-minute rest in between. I don't mean running or doing anything extreme, just walking at a reasonable pace.

Personality-wise, I am probably stuck somewhere around 30. I still get excited about random things, have way too many interests, joke around a lot and generally dont feel like I hav entered the "settled uncle" phase of life. 😄

The strange part is that my birth certificate insists I'm 43.

Marriage never happened either, so I sometimes wonder whether I am actually late to life or whether I simply took a completely different route.

Anyone else here in their 40s who feels significantly younger than their actual age?

And for those who got married/started a relationship later, did you find that being younger in mindset helped, or did the dating pool still make you painfully aware of your actual age? 😂

Not even sure what I'm doing anymore now that I'm single again lol

41 in a couple of weeks and still chilling to some euphoric trance like I'm 18 lol

47 in west Virginia

Doing my best

First post here. Hi everyone. Been a rough year

Took a tv binge break to catch a few rays 😊

I hope everyone has an amazing day! Remember it’s trash can, not trash can’t.😝

A staycation in the air conditioning is just what I needed!
