I'm 32 btw, and I don't consider myself "old" like millennials often exaggerate....32 is still young, but time creeps along for all people and there is one thing that when I see it, it makes me have sort of an odd dread feeling.
People will post memes of like "this show is now X amount of years old...feel old yet?"
And that stuff never does. But the one thing that makes me go "that can't be right....that must be a glitch...it can't be that old" is those rare times I come across a Youtube video that was uploaded near the beginning, like a video from 2007 or something and the video will say "uploaded 15 years ago, or 16 years ago"
That one hits me in the gut every time. I remember in middle school Youtube being a new thing and it doesn't feel like the type of thing that is half my lifetime ago..It feels such a modern, part of this crap society that when I stumble across videos that were 16 years ago....I don't know...it gives me a similar feeling like when you watch a black mirror episode...there's something dystopian feeling about it.
What made me feel old was how anti social everyone has become in the last decade. Places I used to hit up for fun are filled with shitheads now. People aren't friendly anymore, a lot of people are very passive aggressive. Social media makes it worse, but the Covid lockdown broke everybody. I am 35 and I have hit the point where I don't think I will get married, have kids, even though I make good money I am not even sure I will get a house.
Edit: I am still in good shape, don't look any different from what I looked like a decade ago. And it isn't just the young kids, everyone is anti social nowadays. I am not a homebody but I wonder why I bother even going out anymore.
I recently went back into clubbing on occasion here in Germany again. Everytime I encounter at least one huge asshole.
I would mention their traits, but I was banned last time I did some generalization in that regard, so ... All coincidences - nothing to notice :)
