What age do you think you are?

Yes, me. I'm 76 and find it quite shocking.

I'm 76 too and I can't figure out what happened!

Don't you think everyone feels like this though?

I suppose age is just a number really. However, when I catch myself in a mirror and see the wrinkles and grey hair, I think
“ blimey, is that really me?”.
In my mind, I’m still a young woman, and I do try to keep fit and active, but the reality is that I’m well into my sixties now, and I can’t dash about quite as well as I once did, and need to stagger household jobs over a few days that I’d tackle in one day once upon a time 😂. The mind is willing, the body not so much at times 🤣🤣.

I’m 75 and I think well, I can’t have much longer, it makes me feel sad

I’m 77 and inside feel I might be in my mid-late 50’s.
My legs and feet however feel much much older and I forget when sitting down, that I’m not as great on my pins as I once was.

Depends some days inside I feel 50 other days 67 my real age. My body on the other hand feeling 67 but on really bad pain and mobility days 90.

I think I am wiser than I used to be. Not boasting. I just think life has taught me a lot and still is doing. So, no, I don't feel younger mentally than my physical age. I think I'd feel a litle ashamed of myself if I didn't feel I'd "grown" mentally since, say, my thirties or forties.

I think about this often.
Lately I feel 55.

On bad days I feel aboout 88[decided on that age as I knew someone who was 86, and decided I felt older thean her!].

With the Annus Horribilis we are having this year I feel about 98, am 68.

I’m 76 but in my head I’m 35 especially when I’m on holiday and the music starts.

Yes, yes and yes to all the comments.

I wake up and think "Well, I'm still here"! Full of vim and vigour about what I'm going to do today.
Then I get out of bed.

I do wish I could get some sensible answers from the GP, though, not just soothing platitudes.

I think most folk feel like that Humbertbear, I'm 80 and although I can't get up from a chair as fast as I once could, when I play my old songs, although my legs and feet can't move very fast, my arms still fly about, in my mind I'm back at the saturday night dance, in my 20's again, then come down with a thud when I look in the mirror.

Listening to some music DGD was playing today I said "oh, that's Kate Bush!" DGD looked surprised that I knew who she was 😁
I think Kate Bush songs have had a resurgence lately.

I still think I'm 18, but I can't get my body to agree with me.

That’s because they all watched Stranger Things. 😊

Sometimes around middle age (maybe because I've got some younger friends), other times about the age I am physically currently (ie around 70) - ie when my body is playing-up.

Most of the time though - the most accurate answer would be "I have no idea - other than obviously thousands and thousands of years old". Yep....I believe in reincarnation and also note the evidence Earth has had at least one advanced civilisation before now (apparently they've found the evidence to prove it - the Flood really did happen and it's in all the Holy Books and not just the Bible - and they keep finding buildings and artefacts we could only just make now, if that).

So yep....thousands of years old most of the time......I feel like "You name it - I've been through it....".

Got it in one 👏👏

Nannylovesshopping me too. I've outlived my parent's life span and lots of people seem to dye in their 70s, talk about value every day, I certainly do!
To answer the post, I'm pretty fit and active and in my head, I'm 55.
