Do you like it when people ask your age?  |
|
How old are you? 28. Father with 2 sons: Oh gosh, you are in the prime of your life. So young, just like a baby.
I hate it when people comment on my age this way. 28 is certainly not young in my opinion. I feel as old as a wrinkled potato and I hate people reminding me of it.
How old are you? 28. 18 yr old teenager: Geez, I am so sorry! Uncle, I didn't mean to probe... I just thought you might want to do soccer one of these days but... guess you are too old for it.
Oh thank you kiddie. I have been 18 yr old before so I don't need you to remind me of the stage you are currently at.
Either way my age is perceived (I have yet to come across a response that says it is the perfect age for whatever), I would rather the question be not asked in the first place. It also irks me when people like to ask me my age (whether deliberately or otherwise) during my birthday meals. Then they will start to try calculate it out l-o-u-d when I try to shrug it off. Somehow, some people just don't get it.
So, do you like it when people ask you your age? A resounding YES!? A sombre no? Do you desperately try to raise the question yourself? Do you pretend your ears are stuck? What is your thought on people asking you your age?

11. nannacroc (2370) | 10 months ago | It doesn't bother me at all now, it did when I was 28 though. I'm now 54 but my grandson adds the two numbers together and we are both 9. It's good to get past 50 then you can behave as old or as young as you like and enjoy it. It's not my age that makes me feel old, it's when people ask how old my girls are now.

dfinster (1860) | 10 months ago | Please don't take you age so seriously I had areally hard time with that now that i'll be forty in a few weeks. When just have to keep ourselves healthy and distracted. After all age is only a number. Like I said I'm going to 40 at the end of Aprila nd I'm not really scared, because I'm comfortable with just being who I am, alometimes I'm not quite sure of my self. But if you really try to put other things in front of you to keep you busy pretty soon it may not bother you again. Why don't you just plan special 1 on 1 time with you grandkids and then spend some time pampering yourself and if you an't afford to go out and do it do it at home, take a nice long shower or bubble bath and realx and I'm sure things will pass. Nothing lasts for ever.
Good luck to you and I hope you can some up withsome sort of arrangent that will back you all happy or at least make it bearable. Best of Luck!~D
P. S. Try to have a great time.

12. HelloMickey (1096) | 10 months ago | I don't mind at all. But I once met a girl called me "auntie", she was 20 and I was 26, I hate this very much. I was also 20 once, when I was 20 I never said that kind of speech, as I really don't laugh at other age. I think I will pretend I don't hear the question at the first place, if he/she keeps questioning, I think I would ask he/she "why do I need to tell you?". And I will not mind myself aging, as it is normal in life.

lordwarwizard (10430) | 10 months ago | I was once called an Uncle by a 12 yr old kid and I was 18 then.
Yup, I don't laugh at people's age either. We all grow old. This is one inviolate fact of life so laughing at someone older is like laughing at yourself.

13. ElusiveButterfly (9475) | 10 months ago | I am 51 and never have I minded that people ask my age. We are born to age. If we don't age then we are dying. I prefer to age.

14. ladyluna (2495) | 10 months ago | Greetings oh wizardly one,
It doesn't bother me at all. I'm 44 years of age. I've done an incredible amount of living in four decades, and I plan to do an even more incredible amount of living in the next four, or five, or ...
Do I feel any different than I did twenty-five years ago? Sure I do! I'm alot wiser and much more confident in my abilities. Time is definitely not the enemy of anyone who genuinely appreciates every minute of it!

ladyluna (2495) | 10 months ago | Oops, silly me! That should read: "even more incredible living ..."

|
|
lordwarwizard (10430) | 10 months ago | Oh yes, my Lady. I know, I know. I am just wondering why you would finally take the step to tackle the white house for real.

15. sumofalltears (2647) | 10 months ago | I am not overly sensitive about my age at all, it took me a long time to get here...lol. My sister on the other hand started being age sensitive when she got to be 50. It think the older you get the less satisfied you are with what your life is like them the more sensitive you can be. My sister is very concerned with how she looks and is irritated by grey hair and wrinkles. I on the other hand feel I have earned my grey hair and wrinkles...lol. I am happy with who I am and what I do so I am not sensitive about my age. When I was younger from the time of being a teenager, people always thought I was older than I was and now that I am they think I am younger than I am...lol. Life can be very funny at times....just have to go with the flow.

16. rakesh284 (839) | 10 months ago | Well I am answering this discussion only by reading the heading of the discussion. I don't mind it till some age limit. Even though there might be some reason to ask such a question. Someone is known person then it is fine, if someone is unknown then it depends on your gender also. Guys can answer directly though girls might hesitate.

jillhill (11840) | 10 months ago | When you get older...like my age...it really doesn't bother me and I do even just tell it to people especially where there is a senior discount involved! LOL

|
rakesh284 (839) | 10 months ago | That's why I mentioned some age limit. Well it was really funny. Bye

lordwarwizard (10430) | 10 months ago | I just hate it coss it reminds me of unpleasant things. Well like you, I am blessed with "good genes" too. People say I look younger than I really am too. But of course, if I wear a suit and put on a tie, I can make myself look older and more professional (like how the same attire transforms most guys; or how the power look transforms most gals).

19. suspenseful (17151) | 10 months ago | I do not mind as long as they faint with shock when I tell them that I am 66, and then say I thought you were in your forties or (early fifties at the most). If they say I was five to ten years younger, then they had better keep quiet. Also if they offer me a cane, or talk about an arthritis medicine, etc. then they better not say anything either.

suspenseful (17151) | 10 months ago | As long as I will look at least 15 years younger, I am okay. Do not want my diabetes to make me catch up to my chronological age.

| 20. iloveorange05 (81) | 10 months ago | Sometimes. It depends on the situation that i am into. Sometimes I feel irritated when someone asks me my age, then they'll tell me your age doesn't show on your face. How about that? am i look older than my age. That was an insult by my part. Because of that incident accusation about my age, i feel i do pretend not to hear someone speaking and asking about my age.
