People will tell you. Worst I've had is a pulled back muscle from sneezing while leaning forward in my chair.

It’s daytime. Or nighttime. Or evening or morning. Or you don’t know what time of day it is but you’re conscious. Any of these situations indicates aging is happening.
I’ve noticed my passions aren’t as sudden, but they burn deeper and longer.
When the authorities ask why you haven't taken the carrousel rite yet.
You start correcting people when they say "your" instead of "you're" :-)

I don't heal as fast anymore. Cuts and scrapes turn into scars easier.

Vision. It gets hard to read in low light, driving at night is tough, you can't quite figure out how close or far to hold a book or phone.
Alcohol. You just don't shake it off like you did when you were younger. Now you really think about whether that next drink will be worth the shitty sleep.
Money. You talk about property taxes and 401k contributions more often than you ever thought you would.
Patience. You're more patient with kids and your parents, and way less patient with everything else.
Memory and visual attention when you get closer to 60. You can't remember all 10 digits of a new phone number with an unfamiliar area code; often one of the 4 last numbers will end up transposed with a neighbor. Visual attention: looking on your garage shelves or cupboards for an item and not seeing it even though it's in plain sight.

definately physical pain on stuff you used to do on the regular. Had a job were I would get impatient waiting for a delivery and would jump off the dock to go check if I could see the truck. A little after I got into my thirties I jumped off one day and just stopped and stood still in a crouched position for a bit. I never "felt" the landing like I did that day before. It was the sart of what would be a long line of things I would cease to do.
When you fall down nobody laughs. Only concern.
Next up: you don't fall down, you "have a fall".

Hello caller, you're on Balltalk!
Every damn time I scratch my knee, the nuts get in the way. It's horrible.
I'm.. confused.
Pretty simple. My nuts are giant, hang low, and have their own sentience. They're also easily entertained by interfering with anything they can.
Right now, they're the ones typing this, two letters at a time ahahahahahahahahah! Testicle power!

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”.
All pro athletes are younger than me. Except maybe a hockey player or two.
Completely walking away from sports you followed with passion your whole life because you just aren't interested in learning the next crop of pros. Also, you know the way money and politics and other things force things in sport and it takes the fun out of it...same can be said for music.
Asking what the signs of getting older are?? 🙂
Finding grey hair in your beard. The first time I started to feel older was once I found a couple grey hair in my beard. None in my hair, just beard
Nah you're not really old until you find grey hair in your pubes
Haha, thanks!

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.
You might want to get that checked out. You shouldn't be feeling pain to that level in your 20s. I'm 40+ and do not have pain and exhaustion from everyday things. I work outside daily on my farm as well. So you really shouldn't be feeling this at 20.
About 50% of it is probably obesity, the rest... well, chronic pain is very common in my family.
Yea that combo will do it.

That you are alive is the surest sign.

Sorted that for you
Less birthday parties for you, more for younger folks.
People at a store ask if I want the senior discount...hurumph rude! LOL
Doing an oil change, rotor and brake pad change in same day, means my back and legs are sore for a few days after
I didn't get a harumph from that guy!
How little of a fuck you give for modern times and just live in the past.
