You wouldn’t understand.

When you realize you’re an old man at 30, the guys who are a couple of years older give you a subtle glare.

Even as we become middle-aged, then early seniors, and finally late seniors, we continue to think similar things…

Endurance old man posture!!

My heart is still in single digits.

When you become an old man, you start to feel that various things you thought would be fine are actually declining.

A man taking a direct shot!!

It’s nice that even though I recognize myself as an old man, others don’t treat me like one…

>>15

If the higher-ups are all old, they’ll treat you like a young whippersnapper!

>>15

Being the youngest, I’m being told to eat, eat! and I’m being fed meat.

I can’t eat that.

I am already aware that I’m an old man once I turn 25.

>>16

There were people back in high school saying things like “I’m already getting old.”

I realized that the man who showed a calm demeanor as an adult was amazing.

I can feel that I’ve inevitably become an old man as my body has started to wear down since my late 30s.

Not only 38, but by the time I hit my late 20s, I was already part of the group that gets called “around 30″… and it shocked me.

>>20

There’s a difference like that between SR and R in social games.

Someone who builds a house is SSR in my book.

It has become annoying to be perceived as younger than my actual age, which runs in the family.

In my sense, I just graduated from university.

I’m 37 years old, but no matter what anyone says, I’m still a young person.

In my 30s, I still didn’t feel like an old man physically…

Is the 82-year-old man’s self-proclaimed title of “uncle” the same as this?

Once you pass 50, you start noticing the lines of old age.

>>28

40 is middle-aged.

When I wake up in the morning, my nose and mouth have become really dry.

Even though I haven’t turned on the heating.

My feelings are still like a high school student.

Foolish… too fast… (gasping for breath)

At 38, it’s not odd even if you have an elementary school child.

>>33

It’s not strange at all to have a high school-aged child…

At least it should be 33…

I’ve become satisfied after spending 2000 yen at Mister Donut.

I… have grown old…!

I feel like I was already middle-aged in my late 20s physically.

After turning 30, it’s just unbelievable.

Just kill me already.

Isn’t it a relative sensitivity?

A term used to belittle someone who is clearly older than oneself: “old man.”

During the all-you-can-eat for 90 minutes, I realized that my time was over when I reached my limit after just 30 minutes.

But… people in their 30s look younger than before…

Isn’t there a way to keep the digestive organs or digestive ability youthful?

It seems like I hear quite a lot about appearances.

I’m in my early 30s, but everyone around me is at least married, and it feels tough to meet up.

I’m still far below the average age in Japan…

It makes me sad to think that almost half of my life is over.

Moreover, time has passed faster than before.

If you haven’t started developing presbyopia, you’re still young, so you can relax.

I haven’t become a dignified person to be called an old man.

A year… a year goes by so fast…

Those who say they’re an old man with their mouth do not truly acknowledge it in their heart; I understand that because I’m the same.

When you reach your 40s, your body stops moving as well, and both your memory and concentration decline, and you start to see gray hair and balding, so you inevitably become aware of it.

I wonder if the performance art outside of Fruto’s frame is still going on…

The body is that of an old man, but the mind is not all that mature.

If you’re 28, you might understand this feeling, but at 38… that’s just old, right?

If you recognize yourself as an old man relatively early on,

Because there is pressure from older guys who are slightly above me.

It was difficult to call myself an old man.

Alright, let’s do it! What was it that we were going to do again? It has increased.

I’m 38 years old, but I feel like I’ve wasted about 10 years because of the Lehman Shock, the earthquake, and COVID-19.

I still feel like it’s only my fifth year.

I can no longer drink or sing until morning.

It’s a lie; it’s not that I can’t do it, but the damage is too great, and it’s tough.

I think it’s crazy that I just took a shower and went straight to work without changing.

I don’t want to see the face of an old man in the mirror with seemingly little life experience…

Although I am an old man, there are older guys in their forties and fifties above me, so it feels like I shouldn’t be acting like an old man.

I’ve been feeling like an old man since I was around 29.

I became an old man without ever becoming an adult.

I think it’s myself.

I’m already 40, but I still believe I can marry a beautiful elf girl.

When people in their 30s are still told by older generations that they are young, it makes me feel like they just want to believe they are young, right?

I’m 40 now, but I have the illusion that I can still pass as a younger brother.

Although my head is that of a kid, I have to pretend to be an adult…

It was only now that I realized he was me.

About three years ago, I turned 30 and thought to myself that I had become an old man.

Recently turned 40.

I’m quite youthful.

Maybe it’s because I haven’t properly faced societal challenges that are appropriate for my age, so I feel pathetic every time I look in the mirror.

>>73

Don’t worry.

If you look at him outdoors or in a bright store, he definitely looks like an old man.

It’s easy to understand if you imagine a child who looks old, like the one in AKIRA.

>>73

A mirror tends to show you at an angle where you unconsciously look good.

At least when it comes to appearance, there’s no need to feel pathetic.

You’re probably the only one who thinks you’re youthful.

>>73

Whenever I’m told I look young, my go-to response is that I haven’t been through any hardships, hehe.

I don’t hear it anymore.

I can understand getting upset at being called old man, but at 38, there’s no denying you’re definitely an old man.

Once I can no longer get an erection and my desires start to fade, that’s when the real challenge begins as I can no longer face my own worthlessness.

I’m 38 years old this year, but I have gastroesophageal reflux disease, and my bed is at an angle. It hurts so much when I eat that my esophagus cramps, and I end up vomiting.

But I’m not an old man, remember that.

I have become a somewhat ambiguous middle-aged man who eats more than students, has a light footwork, and is an outdoor enthusiast, but can’t be considered truly young or enlightened.

There is also a theory that all of my comparison friends are married with children…

The adults I imagine in situations like the one in the picture are…

I must acknowledge my own carelessness and gently brush off the rude attitude of the young person.

In reality, I think, “Oh no, I just ran into a troublesome guy, I’ll just ignore him…”

I haven’t become a respectable adult…

I understood the reason why there are many uncles who go to the gym.

You have a strong heart.

I deliberately set up a mental barrier by self-identifying as an old man in my late 20s.

When a woman from Kansai calls me “onii-san,” I feel a slight happiness.

When I took my ID photo the other day, I looked so shabby that it made me laugh.

I was disappointed, but I just decided that this is the kind of person they are.

In the workplace, being in your 30s still means you are considered quite young.

I am an old man who hates young people trying to act like old men…

I was surprised to hear that my boss, who is 40 years old, has a university student son.

I get irritated in the same way when someone in their late twenties says, “I’m old.”

I think the older generation gets annoyed when I act like an old man, so I won’t say it.

But if you bump into someone, it’s better to apologize.

I’m 38, but my little guy is already…

>>92

I have a charging system where I hold back and sometimes release.

Once you hit 30, you’re considered middle-aged.

I heard that the child of a friend who I thought just got married is already starting elementary school.

You’re lying, when you sent me the photo, it was so small.

I was told by another old man not to act like an old man.

An older man caught in the middle, told by young people not to act like a young person…

Stop it, a sudden stroke is not a joke…

I’ve reached the age where I’m starting to be interested in things like Yomeishu.

Even though I’ve become an uncle, I’m looking forward to Switch 2, but I feel like I’ll still be playing games in ten years.

I don’t understand why people who say they “look young for their age,” regardless of whether they are men or women, don’t look that way at all.

>>100

It’s the same as saying that you’re winning overall when you look at gambling as a whole.

>>100

People with limited social experience.

Someone who took the words meaning “your outfit doesn’t match your age” as a compliment.

>>100

People who truly look young want to be seen as their actual age, so those who are told they look young are not that happy about it.

Since the upper management is still working, I can’t say that I’m already an old man and that it’s impossible for me.

After turning 40 and switching from an office job to fieldwork, I’ve actually become more energetic.

The debuff from desk work is stronger than the decline due to age.

I’m an uncle, so I graduated from Nintendo and moved on to Steam.

It doesn’t seem like I’m getting tired of the game at all, so I guess it’ll be like this until I die…

It hurts, so don’t do painful things because I’m an old man, but I’m twisting it to deceive by saying I’m not an old man, right?

A healthy person in their 50s suddenly collapsed from a brain hemorrhage and passed away not long ago.

Our employees in their 40s and 50s were all startled…

This year, I will go for a medical check-up instead of just a health examination.

>>108

It’s a good idea to get an endoscopy and a colonoscopy done.

I’m 30 this year, but I still don’t feel old at all.

I sometimes do a rectal examination by myself, so can’t I manage somehow…

>>111

It might be that something is happening.

Adult children…

The old man muttering to himself while riding a bicycle was so unsettling that I couldn’t help it.

The other day, on my way home after making a mistake at work, I found myself muttering, “Well, that vague instruction was bad too…” and when I recognized myself riding my bike, I broke out in a cold sweat.

38 is definitely too high.

Let’s go with around 31.

I’m 32, but my self-consciousness rejects the premise of acting as if I look like an old man to those around me.

I still don’t understand how some people have made talking to themselves a habit or do it unconsciously.

I think there must be some difference in structure.

>>117

I don’t know either.

I noticed that something was leaking.

>>117

When I start thinking while being poked, it comes out of my mouth.

I think I’ve run out of brain memory.

>>117

While walking the dog in silence, I unexpectedly ran into a neighbor and had a little chat.

After we broke up, I resumed taking the dog for a walk and suddenly started talking to myself, thinking, “Hey, where did I put those earbuds I took off earlier? Oh, there they are.”

Maybe some screws are starting to loosen.

>>137

Talk to the dog.

>>148

Dog: “I had it in my back pocket.”

At 32, you can still get away with cross-dressing these days, right?

When I became a junior high school student, high school student, university student, and then a working adult, I thought to myself that I was still just a kid more than I had expected.

I want to look young, but I feel like I can’t become a proper adult to the extent of being treated like an old man.

Everyone is still told by the older generation to do their best because they are still young, while the younger generation repeatedly says to the older folks to know their place.

>>120

So, that’s why we gather like this with our peers.

Is everyone having trouble with their family circumstances? That’s right…

People on TV… characters from manga…

When did it become normal for there to be younger people?

Don’t worry, because others don’t judge based solely on appearance and call you an old man.

I vaguely remember the fleeting loneliness I felt when Nobita became aware of being younger.

I don’t feel like my mental age has grown since I was 10 years old.

I look somewhat old on the outside.

>>127

The mental age stops growing in middle school, so it’s not strange for that.

The only thing left is that the spirituality changes with social standing.

>>134

No, that’s not the case.

I was really into TS when I was in middle school, but now I’ve grown to be able to appreciate male daughters too.

Even though I should be struggling somewhat, I get told quite a lot.

It might be because I’ve been mindful of sun exposure and dryness since my teenage years.

>>128

There are cases where it’s not about appearance, but rather being told indirectly that something doesn’t suit you or that it’s inappropriate for your age.

>>135

I should be wearing a regular suit, but…

There are certainly cases where someone isn’t wearing a watch that matches their age or expensive leather shoes.

Well then, let’s turn our attention to the creative old man and elderly characters.

I’m not such a great adult…

When I’m coding and concentrating or using my brain, I tend to talk to myself.

In their late 20s to early 30s, young people see them as old men, while older men see them as still kids, which is complicated.

Before I knew it

I have become older than Bucci, Matsuzaka Ume, Misae, Kira Yoshikage, and Hiroshi from the Crimson Scorpion Squad.

Back then, I was about the same age as Shinnosuke.

Isn’t mental age separate from sexual preferences?!

If you soften the expression “restless” or “unreliable,” it becomes “you’re young.”

>>141

“It means that being calm is something usually associated with old men, even though you’re young.”

>>142

What should I do…

>>143

Do not engage with sarcasm.

>>143

Don’t interpret the words negatively by reading between the lines.

>>142

If it was said in a work-related context, it’s probably just a compliment, or maybe the other person is going through some struggles…

My mental age hasn’t changed since college, but recently I’ve started to smell like old age.

If you don’t listen to indirect advice while it’s still indirect, it will become even more troublesome later.

I see, as we get older, the common topics gradually shift to family matters… No wonder being single can feel lonely…

>>149

So, it seems I’ve only been able to engage to a certain extent while keeping up with the topics of young people.

Honestly, my health hasn’t been improving at all in the past year…

So this is the constant debuff state that the predecessors were talking about.

It’s painful.

The muscle pain comes a little the next day and then comes very strongly the day after that.

>>152

It really comes with a time lag…! I was a little moved.

I want you to stop.

Those who don’t speak clearly are just a waste of time to deal with!

People who say things clearly can be hurtful, so it’s better not to engage with them!

Since my niece was born when I was 20, I’ve always identified as an uncle.

>>155

Uncle!

Muscle soreness changes the timing of slip damage occurrence depending on how the body is used, regardless of age.

Well, I guess as we age, we might get worse at using our bodies, and that could lead to changes.

Until my early 30s, I had the image of it being an extension of my 20s, but after turning 35, I started to accept that I’m an old man.

All-nighter? That’s unreasonable…

By the time I was about 25, I already felt like an old man.

I judge someone to be an old man if they can’t quickly say their age when asked.

Even though my body has become like that of an old man, my mental state is still too childish.

The discrepancy in self-recognition starts to get strange, doesn’t it?

I admit that I am an old man, but…

The mental aspect hasn’t changed since I was a kid.

I almost died after sprinting for 3 minutes (with stairs)!?

I don’t usually think about it, but when I write my age on a document, I suddenly realize, “Wow, I’ve gotten this old…”

It is necessary to move your body.

I’m in my forties, but my financial knowledge hasn’t changed since my teenage years.

I’ve had bad athletic ability since I was a kid, so I don’t have the feeling that I could move like that in the past!

A lot of people around me are getting married and all that, huh?

>>169

Although they are married, it seems that there are many people who either do not have children or have just one.

It’s really rare for families to have two or more children.

Not only that, but my friendships.

Everyone except for me is doing it and having children.

Even after turning 40, my mentality hasn’t changed much from when I was hanging out at the arcade during college.

It’s not possible to raise children when both parents are working.

Well, I generally have kids.

The reason they’re not here might be because marriage is getting delayed and they are older, but I don’t really understand the circumstances around that.

I’ve started to think that I might be getting old since I can’t push myself as much as I used to.

The other day, when I was treated like an old man, I thought, “I’m not that old yet!”

I remember when I told someone who kept bringing up lewd dream topics that they were just an old man, they got extremely angry, more than I expected.

The old man in the thread doesn’t look like he’s 38.

>>178

You need to have a younger appearance.

I haven’t been able to relate to my friends who aren’t married.

I can’t relate to my friends who have children.

When I go to the countryside, I’m treated like a kid.

It’s said that having children and a home makes you mentally mature, but that’s not true.

I’m just exhausted because even after work, I have to take care of the kids on the weekends.

I’ve come to understand how my boss feels about not wanting to go home.

>>183

There is a societal trend that says parenting should be done by both parents, but…

I think it’s better to divide the work, as one side can have more leeway that way.

>>183

I don’t want to hear it!

My casual look is gradually becoming just jacket sets.

When I was a child, there were adults who still played games and bought toys.

That’s exactly me, isn’t it…

>>185

I’ve wanted to be like that since I was a child, so I’m fine with it.

It was only recently that he realized he was me.

It’s exhausting to come home from work, isn’t it…

I don’t really want to work.

If anything, after turning 40, society perceives you as middle-aged and an old man.

>>191

Isn’t it about a hundred years ago?

>>193

Let’s face reality, Grandpa.

I’m aware that my outfit is lame and not appropriate for my age.

I find it hard to buy because they all look the same regardless of which setup I look at.

Well, I understand that it’s good to say that.

As expected, Grandpa is being dramatic… but seeing people my age getting gray hair makes me go whoa…

Am I already an old man at 29?

>>195

I think it’s about the level of becoming an old man.

A BMI of 30 is like being on the verge of being overweight.

Well, I’m 38, but I already consider myself an old man.

If someone else or a young person says it, you might think, “What’s that!?”

It’s not that the mind becomes mature; rather, the body deteriorates, and my sensitivity becomes duller and I become more subdued than before.

There are only old men.

>>199

I’m glad that young people aren’t in such a shit hole.

I think I became an old man around 26.

>>200

The saddest pattern of responses where older people try to treat those slightly younger as if they are old men.

It can be frustrating when kids are called brats or when other people say things.

Well, isn’t 40 considered middle-aged since 100 years ago…?

It was only now that I realized that was my true self.

I thought that almost everyone with no name was in their 40s.

I can’t seem to come up with the words I want to say spontaneously during conversations as I approach 40.

I feel the deterioration of my memory drawer.

Although I look like an old man, I thought my heart was not that of an old man.

My heart is starting to feel like an old man.

I want to sleep on my days off.
