Aging is brutal

[autistic_tendencies]

You need to have children or something to take care of to feel good about getting older

Testosterone peaks at 18, pure atheticism at 21 everything else is cope. No one cares about bloated strongmen who train for 15 years to lift a heavy object once

I’m a sprint runner myself, i dont cope about the agepill unlike many people here

I'm 24 and had already ACL tears, a broken femur, tore my meniscus three times, broke my hand, broke my elbow, ankle sprains and so on. All from Basketball and Football (soccer). Guess what. I'm still as explosive as I was when I was 19 but stronger and more coordinated. And I'm not even in competition shape right now. So yeah I'm in my physical prime right now.

I turned 26 last month and I feel as if the last couple of years sucked the last bit of life out of my body and soul. The difference in my energy levels, mental balance, stress resistence and general outlook on life is tremendous. I have the utmost respect for old people who were able to keep a positive attitude towards life

That's due to shit aging genes. I'm in my 30s and feel no different now than at 21

When you talk to old people, it’s not uncommon for them to say something like, “I’m tired of this life. I hope I die. I just don’t like it anymore.” Now, as a young person, when you hear that, it sounds horrible. You’re thinking, “No, please don’t talk like that, Grandpa. You have so much to live for,” and so on. But from Grandpa’s point of view, from Grandma’s point of view, they have experience fatigue. They have already eaten all the great meals. They’ve already had all the great sex. There’s very little novelty in your life as you get older. And it turns out the novelty is one of the things that makes life enjoyable. So when Grandma and Grandpa say, “I’m ready to go, and really the only reason I don’t jump off a bridge right now is for you guys,” for the family and the loved ones, and maybe even for society if they’re thinking of themselves that way, Grandma and Grandpa are not necessarily depressed, even. They’re just reflecting their experience of their life as an old person. So even though it’s hard as a young person to take that in, it’s worth considering that you’ll be there someday as well.
