Do/did any of you feel not good about turning 40?

Post Reply New Topic

I turned 40 last week and I don't feel good about not having a independent paid job and I've never been to college or university. Do/did any of you feel not good about turning 40?

I'm a few months away from not feeling good about turning 40.

I’m turning 40 in 3 months. I’m already not feeling good about it.

I figure by T minus three months I'll be not feeling so good about it.

Especially if you're still single, then that makes you feel doubly bad about turning 40.

55 has been the hardest. Like when a car reaches certain number of miles and things start breaking down.

I have a few years until hitting 40.

I am not really looking forward to that.

It is an undeniable 'older' age.

I don't feel good about any birthdays. 40 was a bit more annoying being a "milestone," age. Annual reminder of the things I haven't done/continue to procrastinate on vs. complete and then work towards other goals. Frustrating. 41 now, over being 40 w/e. Trying not to dwell on age/time much and just focus on actually doing things I know I need to do - which is very challenging.

That was 10 years ago, back when the world was very slightly less horrible. Now I really have nothing to forwards to and I will grow weaker and more helpless to do anything about this repulsive world.

I didnt feel good when I turned 30 (I'm about to be 34)

I realized my mom is getting older and sicker and I worry every day about what will happen to me and my brother if she can no longer take care of us, because we literally have nobody who gives a damn about us...

I also started getting health issues of my own due to years of obesity and unhealthy eating habits.

And I've overheard people whisper behind my back that I look like a "30 year old kid". And parents with young children who don't know me often tend to treat me like some kind of creep because of this. I no longer feel comfortable being around children because of this.
