You start to develop the ability to not give a fuck.
Itβs an absolute superpower, too
Nah, I've turned 30 this year and I already don't give a fuck and fear nothing. It scares me a little lol
Closer to being done with all this silliness.
You start to form genuine opinions on topics, not just parroting tidbits back to people.
I don't think age determines when that happens
When? I think you mean "if".
I'd wager a level of maturity and overcoming insecurity is a requirement, which yes some people can achieve at an early age
I'll be honest if they're talking politically, this still has not happened to me, like sure I have things that I think are right and wrong but I've never been super vocal
Or never at all! Haha
oh? if you say so.
Age is definitely not a requirement for this lol
I once heard someone say:
βMy teens were my bodyβs puberty, my twenties were my mindβs puberty. By my thirties I started to have a handle on things.β
That has really stuck with me. Iβve loved my thirties!
Calming the fuck down
I'm in my 40s and, uhhhh...
Depending on how you've played your cards the best part is that you've ditched your shitty "friends" and have your 5 or less close friends now.
You've solidified the music you like. The books you care to read.
I'm 25 and still sorting out the books I care to read. I'm overwhelmed with choice, particularly interesting works in genres that I don't find much joy in.
For me it was when everything professionally and personally started taking off.
Finally got my crap together. Career taking off, got rid of my toxic relationships, adopted several cats, getting into really good shape.
Every year is my favorite year. Currently 55. Only reason to go back would be to undo stupid shit i said/did.
Finally being able to (mostly) make decisions without undue influence of horniness.
You start to really see who is here for you and who is here just to fuck around. You are surrounded by people who are both and after I hit 30, a lot of it became clearer as to who I should be returning my energy to.
a few years in my thirties was my best time of life. Was able to afford living near the city which was also near my work. I don't think that has to do with age though as much as stable employment.
tbf the stereotype of young people being happier and more active and carefree has to do with the societal expectations involved with the age too, at least on my experience.
i don't think anything says we couldn't ease up as a society with trying to make everyone miserable for a change.
Not wanting to go out or be social is more acceptable. Plus more excuses to stay home are available.
Sweet sweet brain maturity
What Conan said. But with more grumbling about this or that hurting.
Going to your religious place of worship and pray to your god to be taken to heaven
nothing
It's an arbitrary milestone. For me, I stopped worrying about money around 32.
