I have learned the difference between "your" and "you're".

I find it takes much, much longer to heal from injury. That's the main downside I've experienced. When I say longer - when about 8 yo I broke my arm, it took 5-6 weeks to heal, maybe 10 to really heal, stop swelling ever and feel exactly like the other. When about 45 I broke my finger and it took 2 years to fully heal and feel like the rest of them.

But it also takes longer to get mad, I'm less irritable, more perspective I guess. Easier to feel happy/satisfied, too, it's closer to the surface now.

You can't stand grindy videogames. You see young adults as children, and their behavior becomes irritating.

My what?

You mix up your and you're.

The music I grew up with is “classic” and the “hits of yesterday” that I don’t recognise on the radio is “young people’s music”.

Back pain

Presbyopia

The amount of candles on you're birthday cake are so numerous that the fire department comes out.

For me it clicked when pretty girls started tallking and being nice to me

Your perception and outlook on time changes a lot.

Everything seems to go by faster. Waiting for something doesn't seem that bad when it's in terms of days instead of hours, weeks instead of days, months instead of weeks, years instead of months.

When making long term plans, "how long you think you'll live" becomes more and more of a factor.

Your first gray pube.

You look at your weekly pill container to know what day of the week it is.

Asking what the signs of getting older are?? 🙂

My knees. I am past 30, and my knees somehow don't want to bend anymore.

On the other hand the older I get, the smarter I get about life. Do some physical activity on a regular basis, keep some long term goals in mind, don't let your emotional state depend on external factors.

Find balance in your life and know your limits and you will be all right.

Worrying that every unexpected pain in your body will be cancer.

School dreams are very rare now, and when I have them the "cast" is all people from various adult jobs. I never knew my actual school mates as adults, so I guess my brain just can't fill it in. If I was actually transported back to high school and saw them again it would probably feel like being surrounded by babies, so makes sense that "central casting" sends in adult stand-ins.

I'm always an adult too. What's weird is I remember being a child. I remember my body being clumsy and awkward, I remember being confused by adult concepts, I remember being small. It never comes out in childhood dreams, I'm always my present age.

Pain. Just pain and exhaustion doing everyday things. Recovery time from the same pain taking longer and longer as time goes on.

I'm not even 30 yet, and it really puts a damper on things.

Letting autoincorrect slip in homonyms

That you are alive is the surest sign.

Making interjections when standing up, from a chair, from bed, getting out from your car seat, etc …

When it gets "weird" wanting to do the young people stuff.

You get free dlc every year, that you can't uninstall, for example: Cannot move neck after sleeping in a slightly wrong position. Random foot pain. Extra hangover. Blurry vision in the distance.

Pimples just becoming permanent weird little bumps

When I get up after sitting on the ground for a while my knees are stiff.

Get off my lawn.

One of the biggest and most terrible things that ever happened to my province, which CONSUMED everything for a long time back when I was a teenager and people still talk about very passionately to this day, well meeting someone who has NO idea what this is makes me feel old.
