When are you no longer considered “young”?

[DongBeetle]

I don't really have an answer but I'd love to hear what you think

 

[Duncan]

When you age out of your parent's insurance.

That's when shit gets real for us Americans.

You're only as old as you feel

 

[Deleted member 2752]

When your problems become your fault.

 

[modoversus]

When you get to be 30.

 

[Vyse]

When they don't give you the kids menu.

 

[Kain]

When you're tired all the time

 

[Powdered Egg]

I feel like 30 is the cutoff.

 

[skeezx]

all relative. like at work one of the "younger guys" just turned 50. in some circles that's old AF but there he may as well be 25 or something

 

[NTGYK]

I turned 30 this year, so I'm gonna say 35

 

[Jon Carter]

I remember being weirded out at 19 when the guy at McDonald's called me "Sir". I'm 30 now and it feels normal. So, probably around 30.

Though Satoru Iwata was considered a young CEO when he died at 55 and Barack Obama and Beto O'Rourke were considered young presidential candidates at 46/47.

 

[Ary F.]

Depends how young you were when you lost all your serotonin.

 

[Vern]

When musicians die but you've never heard of them.

 

[Tea and Toast]

Depends who's doing the considering.

 

[Azerach]

35 is the cutoff for "young adult"

 

[DonMigs85]

I think 35-40 is "middle age", but dying earlier than 60 or even 50-55 seems to be considered "dying young"

I just turned 35 so I'll say 40

[Zelenogorsk]

40

 

[Jarmel]

When you're still hip with the kids.

I'm 23 and I still feel like a teen honestly.

I don't think 35 is middle age. At least 40.

 

[sweetmini]

It's a matter of your company i think.
If you are 40 and hang around 55 yo people, you are young
if you are 40 and hang around 25 yo people, you are old
It's all relative...

 

[Xiaomi]

Used to be 30s when I was a kid, but now I'm in my early 30s and feel like society still treats Millennials like kids. Maybe 40 will change that?

 

[hjort]

I am 36 years old and extremely uncomfortable with this question.

When you stop calling yourself "X years young" like the silly stinker you are.

I was getting called "young man" well in to my late thirties.

I was born old.

 

[amoy]

If you find yourself having the means to do something, but zero desire to do it. That could be a hint.

I'm in my 30s, and that's how I feel most of time regarding leisure stuff. Today for example, the company I work for is having a party and I opted out of it because my mind was focusing on Monday already.

At least, I will have a free Sunday to do whatever, which will probably mean I will get everyone out of the house so I can brood in peace.

 

[Keldroc]

The first time you ask that question.

I think 35-40 is "middle age", but dying earlier than 60 or even 50-55 seems to be considered "dying young"

Click to shrink...

Middle age is defined as 45-65.

 

[FaceHugger]

40

Click to shrink...

I agree. People in their 30's still look young, and it feels like an extension of your 20's only with more money and wisdom.

40? You're not old, but you sure as shit ain't young either.

 

[Kromeo]

I'm 33 and I don't consider myself young anymore but I don't think of myself as middle aged yet either

 

[Deleted member 41178]

I'd say 30 is when you're r no longer classed as young. I still felt young at 30 but definitely got the impression people expected more of me and the mistakes I made were my own by that point.

 

[Spaltazar]

I will be 28 next year and don't really feel a day of difference since being 16. forever young ... i will be forever young

 

[Hyun Sai]

When the cashiers start calling you "Monsieur".

 

[SephiZack]

I will know I'm old when someone offers me a seat on the bus/train/tube...

Until then, I will classify myself as young.

 

[Gushu]

With a healthy lifestyle i would say around 40. But ive seen 28 year olds that look old

 

[Deleted member 17643]

I think it's when you start noticing a lot of characters in media are younger than you.

Like I just saw that Gibraltar from Apex Legends is only 30.

[Ramathevoice]

Gonna go with 40. My best friend just turned 35, has an 8-year-old son, and I'd still consider him to be young. I think most of society (over 25 at least) would too.

 

[Jake Gyllenhaal]

When what you're 'whit' isn't 'it' and what's 'it' seems weird and scary

 

[Deleted member 8852]

When you feel old.

 

[Spenny]

I think it depends. I'm 32 but look like I'm fresh out of high school so I'm usually still treated like a young person. The only way I know I'm getting older is that when I was young if I hurt myself and went to bed I'd be fine in the morning. Now it takes a couple days to heal. That's about it though.

 

[Doober]

I think it really hit me with that, "sksksks and I oop" thread. Or the Tiktok stuff. Fortnite dances had me feeling all Benjamin Button-y too.

I'm 33.

As usual, first post is perfect. This hit me hard, and I passed that age last year.

 

[Tygre]

Under 30 is Young.

Over 45 is Middle Aged.

30 - 45 is debatable. My personal bar is under 35 being young, but that bar seems to get a year older every year.

 

[SurrenderDorothy]

I'm 26, I'm an old man.
