Perfectly fine. You’re gonna be on your peak for another 15 years if you take a bit of care of your body. I’ll start worrying when I turn 50 or so tho lol.
I forgot and only remembered after 2 days
Be kind to yourself. Don’t bother wasting energy on repeated negative self appraisal.
I turned 30 during lockdown at which point I already lost my job and had to move back into my parents.
My grandmother also died so it was the first birthday I didn’t get to visit.
I’m doing fine now though. You’ll get over it.
My 30s are way better than my 20s. In your 30s your stop caring as much about what other people think of you. I would never want to go back to my 20s if I had the chance!
That was a long time ago. I kinda forgot.
You are as old as you feel. 72 here and really dont think about age. Still can do most everything I ever did and dont see the old guy in the mirror

I felt nothing, it was cool. It might have been because I met a lot of older people at my job who made me realize that life isn’t all about being young. A coworker in my team when I was in my twenties was a single guy in his late 50s who took stunning holidays to fun locations (Not necessarily expensive) by himself, went to fun work out classes, took photos of his cat. He’s in his sixties now and still having a blast. Another lady in her early sixties decided to write a book about her life for fun, containing her thoughts and hobbies. Not to be published, just for fun.
I’m okay with doing all of that as well, I just want to be happy. I don’t really want to be young, being in my teens and early twenties was full of random insecurities and I just can’t care about that shit anymore.
I was excited because that day some of my friends who lived more far away took their time and came to drink with me. The next day everything was absolutely same as when I was 29.

No different than 25 honestly, maybe even better

I feel muscle pains on my back.
I always felt it was a psyop people run on themselves. You ever notice how the seasons tend to change on the exact day that’s supposed to be “the first day of spring,” etc? Because we make these agreements and then they come true. Well, turning 30 is when people willfully decide to become enslaved to society. People say “oh shit now i’m OLD” and stop taking chances, stop experimenting and do things like take a corporate job, get married or go into debt buying a house. I did the exact opposite and traveled the world for 10 years. I also made an agreement with myself that I was getting younger every single year instead of trapping myself into a number. I stopped counting and actually forgot how old I was for a while. People will argue for their limitations, and they always get them.
You would be well served by looking into how many people die right after they retire. They have no programming left in their brain so they just die off. I lost my own father this way. I begged him to take up some hobby or have something to look forward to. We agree the retirement age is 65. He had a huge company and everyone loved him. He could’ve stayed on and had decades of meaningful life, but he retired because “that’s what you do” and then he died the same year. That’s pathetic. He drank a lot, but he was a genuinely good man and was well loved. But he fell for the age psyop. If you think like those people, you really should be scared of turning 30. But if you look at the tradition of taoists, yogis living hundreds of years then 30 is not even a baby yet.
I felt nothing too significant. Like, oh cool, a new decade. I am approaching 40 in the next few years and couldn’t care less. 🤷🏻♀️ I am just living my life and enjoying what I can.
I am guessing most people don’t accomplish the goals they set to do by a certain age. Don’t sweat it. Don’t waste another minute stressing about those goals not being reached by 30. Write them all down and set new, realistic timelines for yourself. And give yourself extra grace! ❤️ You’re human, and life happens.
Awesome! I hired a bucking bronco, put it in a function hall, my buddy DJ’d and we had a great party. My 30s is where all the cool stuff started happening – career, love, family.
Full of aches and pains. I joined the military at 19 and turned 30 while still active. Always said that we age like dogs in the military.
Old.
I’ve been 29 for 18 years, so who knows!?
Honestly I feel better about being 30 than I was about being anything under it.
Cool. I was taken more seriously after all.
Yeah well I just hit 62. So I’m double your age. I would love to go back to 30 for 2 reasons.
1) go all night… rock hard…….
2) fix a couple of financial mistakes. Nothing big, but I could have started a Roth as well as my regular 401k when I was 30. I’d be sitting prettier now.
Other than that I wouldn’t change anything. All the really really stupid crap I did was all before 30 🙂
This is something you’ll realize. You really don’t change too much in your head. Things around you change but your core is your core. But just wait till your my age and say take a public transportation into a large metro station. You will understand time shift.
My 30th was just a few days after COVID lock down started. I had some of the same fears – but honestly my 30s opened up a lot of “I know what I want” feelings.
I lost 2 best friends in my late 20s and a parent d/t COVID. I was dealing too much with grief to care too much about my early 30s. Life moves on. You’ll survive.
Fine.
You haven’t hit your peak yet. It’ll be ok.
Appreciate your time. I swear the jump from 30 to 35 for me was lightening fast. I have no idea what happened.
Turning 30 was fine. It’s the aches and pains that start, and the very quick deterioration of EVERYTHING between 30-40 that really gets to you.
You soon realise when you get past 30, that those unmet expectations are actually based in such immaturity. You’re still early on, but you’ll eventually get comfortable not necessarily with conforming to society, but where you sit within it. You realise how little you know, and the older you get, the younger you were.
It literally means nothing. It feels the same as turning 29 or 27, or 31. Zero difference. Age is a construct, and this whole ” big 30″ and ” big 40″ is bullshit. It is what you make it to be, but it is just a normal day.
The same as turning 20 and 40.
Just another day full of potential.
Life is like music, it’s not about the beginning or the end, it’s about the journey.
Asked myself about how I did it, how did I make it this far a virgin, being this passive, tall and beautiful, as I was told.
It’s not that deep. You’re overthinking it all.
My decades ranked so far: 30s, 20s, 40s, teens, noughties.
30 didn’t bother me at all and my 30s were messy but better than my 20s.
Turning 40 was bad though and that decade appears to turn into a crapshow par excellence.
Yeah, we never get our shit together and have no idea how to adult.
The one upside is that I care less and less and less as I get older. I just move along somehow.
Ha wait til you turn 40.
It’s just like being 16 but with a sore back and earlier bedtime.
I didn’t feel any different. Then a month later I went to the doctor. I guess my doctor retired since I was last there.
Then the new doctor walked in and it was a girl from my grade.
Fuckkkk I felt old. Was kinda in shock tbh
I’m in my 40’s and feel great. Keep your body fit and your mind sharp. You feel as young as you want to feel, there’s nothing more attractive than confidence.
Also, fuck what society thinks.
My 30s are better than my 20s
I literally felt initiated into a new life.
The “milestones” you’re referring to were developed in a world that no longer exists. Feeling bad about not meeting them is like feeling bad because your parents were like “I beat a videogame when I was 5, what’s wrong with you” when the game they got to play was Barney’s Hide and Seek and the game you have to play is Dark Souls on max difficulty with 1 life.
“I bought a house after paying for my own education with money from my first job.”
Yeah okay, but all you had to do to get a job was ask, your house cost 5k and your education paid for itself just from getting McDonald’s a little less.
