This is the day i've been fearing since i was a teenager, i legit had nightmares about it through my 20s
It's weird how in the months leading up to it i've been to busy worrying about trouble in my personal life to really pay attention to it, but yesterday night it hit me again
It hit me how those were the last few hours of my life where i could think of myself as a 20-something, and after that it would be gone forever, a permanent change that i'll never be able to walk back
What my 20s have been is now set in stone for the rest of my life
My youth is over forever

That happened with me when I turned 18. If I make it to my 30s I'll probably just get high and drink as much as I can.

I'm 28 and I'm really feeling the brunt of the 30s. It's weird because I'll just be 2 years older but I have to deal with the fact I'll never have my 20s again.

Its 1/3rd of a lifespan anon. Just because people are forced to waste 20 years in school doesn't make 30 young. Its relatively young compared to retirement age.

Its mainly zoomerthink. They seem to think anyone past 25 is in retirement age. My gf is a zoomer 5 years younger than me and at work the 18 year old zoomer daughters of some coworker of hers asked their mother how old my gf is and she told them 24. They went wow shes old. She called me and told me about it while horrified and in distress. I find it hilarious how scared of time zoomers are.
Theyre closer to their 30s then not. Alphas are the new kids in town, zoomies. In your own words youre about to become uncs.

I don't know about you but I turned 30 late last year and nothing has changed. I still have the same energy, still coom 2-3times a day, still not balding, still slim, still just as quick in vidya. Could be my genetics and avoiding the sun for most of my 20s but people who don't know me at work legit think I'm early 20s and call me "that boy". The dudes in my office were shocked when I told them I'm 30 on my bday and one of them who's 24 said "I thought you're the same age as me".
Unless you're obese and spent your 20s smoking 2 packs a day and being a drunkard, you're probably still in pretty good shape too.

But I don't want to grow up. Everyone I know who has "grown up" is a broken, miserable husk of their former happy self. I love looking young, not having responsibilities, finally having money to enjoy the stuff I couldn't enjoy as a child and still being sharp mentally and physically.

F. My 30th was rough too. My mother had died suddenly 14 months before. My father had been dead almost ten years. I would still have my grandpa for another seven years. I had completed the only year of wage-cucking I would ever manage, while being exposed as a hopeless autist and returning to a second decade of NEETdom. My failure to permanently escape NEETdom was doomed by my mental illnesses and the completely incompatible service economy. Even office work would make me sperge out, even though it's mostly a bunch of bullshit. It's absurd how much needless pressure is put on people.
Though some see 30 as the end of youth, it's technically a non-young phase of going to the real next life stage of 'middle age' at 40. Which I will be turning next year. To have 'wasted' 20 years of my life, actually a few more than that, is pretty fucking galling. Though the fucked up thing is that I never had a chance of making it in this fucked post-2008 economy, and in this fucked time for men increasingly becoming incel since 2012. I have no choice but to live as a shut-in and hope for an early death.

Why do people fear turning 30 so much? I am turning 28 next month but I am looking forward to my 30s. I finally don't have to worry about school and exams, I am earning and saving up some relatively good money and have the peace of mind to spend more of my free time on other stuff I want to get good at like drawing. Hopefully in two years from now I will be even better at them and doing them will be even more fun and satisfying, I already feel more motivated when seeing improvements. It's like I am finally out of a tutorial mode that was ridiculously hard and have the freedom to enjoy the real thing. Almost feels too good to be true, somedays I worry I am gonna be hit by a car or something.
