Just a sympathy thread really. I just am not at all enthusiastic about it- not having any party etc etc. Need someone to tell me its not all bad & stop being a big girls blouse!

You either move on with time or you are left behind, living in the past - age is just a number and it's how old you act that defines you.

I'm in my 50's now and feel and mostly act no different to when I was in my 20's, well maybe apart from a little less energy.
Enjoy your life now as one day, there won't be any so, you might as well make the most of it and not worry about increasing age... that comes to everyone - it's just how you deal with it that matters!

30s are brilliant, you're not much older than your 20s but you are typically better off, so can do more exciting things and to be honest most people I know are probably happier in their 30s than 20s. I think you grow into your (adult) personality in your 30s, without needing to actually grow up.

Completely agree with Skidder, 30s have been great for me (I'm 36 in a couple of days). Got married, got a proper house at last and have our first child - life literally could not be better :D
 
OP, get a grip. :D

You're likely to live for another 50 years provided you look after yourself and have reasonable genes.

Aquire a positive mental attitude, man up and enjoy yourself!

Bit harsh perhaps, but that's what you started the thread for, isn't it?

I was 30 last month, nothing changes, it's just an number that counts the revolutions of the earth about the sun since you were born and that's it.
 
I turned 30 mid April, was a bore didnt go out, didnt have a party, My misses did take me out for a meal though but she ended up having a go at me for accidently squirting her with the salad cream packets you get on the condements section.

Went all over her nice new top! LOL It made me chuckle inside but boy i could not show it...... 30 is no dirrerent mate its all in ya head, the day before you where 29 has anything changed in that 1 day? NO....
Anyway just think you can still just about manage to book a classic Club 18-30's Holiday for yaself? LOL
 
30's a wicked place to be, 10 years to go before life starts and you'll still pass for late 20's! Embrace it and have some fun. 30 more years time you'd be 60 then doom and gloom

I hit 30 a few months ago and no complaints here... as long as you look after yourself you will be in your prime for a good few years yet. I seem to do better with the ladies the older I get... more confidence, straighter head, better finances etc etc... life really is just getting better.

30 is still young, but for some reason we have it in our psyche that it's the watermark of passing into your twilight years, which is complete rubbish. Embrace it, live it, and have fun.

Start worrying when you get to your mid forties. :D
 
Nothing wrong with being in your 30s. It's just a number, age is a state of mind. At work I'm professional, and act beyong my years, amongst my friends I'm a big kid! :D

Seriously, life's too short to worry about it, just enjoy your life and get on with it. :)
 
30!!!!

I was actually the same when I turned 30.. i was completely down about the whole thing. I think also 30 is a turning point for most.. so looking back your 30s are the best years ...

When I hit 40, I accepted more strangely.. When I get to 50, I would have forgotten everything anyway :D
 
Why are you sad? We all age.

Have you only just realised that you're ageing?

Are you going to be sad for the rest of your birthdays?

Why not be thankful that you've made it to 30?

Are you going to cry when you turn 40?

If your age makes you sad then there is something underlying that you're using age as a scapegoat for IMO. Find out what it is and fix it. :)
 
Pah! 30 ... still a whipper snapper ... I turn 40 in a couple of months ... :eek:

I enjoyed my 30s a lot more than my 20s for loads of reasons, most of which have already been said in this thread. Being young at heart is the key.

Must admit I do feel a little scared to be 40 very soon though! :eek:
