I can't vote on this poll. I honestly feel both younger and older. Emotionally I feel younger. But mentally and physically I feel older. I definitely look younger than I am.
 
I'm not even 30 years old yet, and yet I feel as if I'm in my 50s. My body aches all the time. I'm tired. My Dad (who is 64) is really trying to drag me into his lifestyle, and it annoys me. My brain is younger than me, my body is older than me, and I'm left in the middle wondering when the hell I'm going to be able to experience my own life.
 
I've always been an old soul in a sense...I've lived a long life in a real short amount of time and I'm tired...but in some ways I feel younger than I am..about five years younger or so. It's strange.
 
Somewhere between a quivering 4-7 and 1000. Day to day stress seems to be the determining factor... yet I would willingly give up the old soul stuff in a heartbeat to stay in the moment and enjoy or at least be present in this this life right now. All I got is stress in the present, hindsight or fast forward. I'd like to achieve better in THIS lifetime.

I don't really recall if I answered this before. But I've had many metaphysical sorts remark... oh wow... you're trying to work it out so you can transition. (not come back)... yeah, yes I am. I most certainly have no intention of ever doing this shit again if I have any say about it.

Thirty years ago, I would have told you I felt like I was fifty. Twenty years ago, I would have told you I felt like I was fifty. Today, I'll tell you I feel like I am fifty. I haven't aged in thirty years.
 
Really interesting that most of you say that you get told you look younger than you actually are. I constantly get told the same thing. I wonder if there is a correlation between ptsd and how you physically age? I always thought it would be the opposite because of the stress, but again, I don't put my body through the wear and tear like most people because I am too tired to do things most of the time.

Emotionally, I can be anywhere from around 4... once I regressed to even younger... but typically I feel anywhere from 14 to 20... definitely no older than 20.
