I'm 68 and I feel 68 which is fine by me.

In a forum such as this one that's been around for many years, I suspect this has been discussed before, but it didn't come up in search so I'm starting a new round of answers. I don't mean like "with my aches and pains, I feel 95"... I mean like deep inside... mentally... what age do you feel?

For me... I'm thinking maybe 45. I've had trouble "accepting the number" ever since 50 hit fifteen years ago... but mentally and physically, I really do still feel 40 or 45.

We are the same age, and I would tend to agree with both accepting the number when I turned 50 and how I now feel mentally and physically.

I recognize that state of shock... it hit me mildly at 50 and I had a hecka hard time getting past it... but when 60 came around five years ago, I refused to even think about it and that's where I still am. If someone says "senior" (yes, even this forum name!) I'm like "hey! who you talking to... I'm no senior yet!" @DeePhase2

I'm only a Senior when it comes to the discounts. I proudly accept it when it comes to movie theaters and my homeowners' insurance.

I go back and forth between feeling 1,000 and a scared 5 year old.
