I am not aging

[Anonymous]

I know I am older obviously. But I am turning 62 soon. I have no grey hair, same weight last 30 years. I only sleep 6 hours a night, never get tired. People at work must think I am younger as people my age or younger are retiring and I am the succession plan.

I have zero medical issues and on no medicine.

Will it all kick in at once?

Hopefully in your case it will start with aphasia. Or development of some humility.

Not for everyone. My mom aged very slowly. She's 76 and only has a few grey hairs on her temple. When i was a tween, she would get carded for alcohol, and thats when the drinking age was 18. I wish I got some more of her youth genes, but instead i got my dad's sensitive wrinkly British skin. Take advantage of this and live a healthy life to the fullest. Although if you want to retire, you should. If you don't want to that's your choice.

Not necessarily, I think everyone has a different timeline based on genetics + habits. I have grandparents who lived to 96 & 98 respectively - and they died living independently, in their own home! Sounds like what you are describing - they were always fit, had tons of energy - they were traveling, bike riding, and going dancing in their 80s with friends who were 20 yrs younger.

My recommendation to you is to enjoy it privately, but keep your good fortune to yourself and don’t ascribe it to any sort of higher moral value or worth that you’ve been granted by the universe.

I come from a crappy genetic stock that has somehow managed to reproduce just enough to propagate rapid-aging genes. I went gray in my early 20s, am pale with freckles and wrinkle easily, have had arthritis and a thyroid problem since my late 20s, and am hoping that I can escape macular degeneration in spite of what genetic testing suggests.

I don’t know if it would be harder to go from not aging to handling all of this at once. I do know that aging is better than being dead, so I’m happy to look and feel a bit busted but to be alive!

You are very lucky OP!

I’m 48, naturally very blonde, and don’t have any grey hair yet. Not even one hair. The downside is literally no one believes me and e erythema thinks I dye my hair, so even if I wanted to brag, I’d just look like a liar. I suggest you keep these things to yourself because no one ever believes me that I’m 1) naturally blonde and 2) don’t have grey hair.

Acquaintances bring up your hair or do you bring it up when others are talking about hair color, etc.? The fact that you’re ever in a situation that involves discussing whether your hair is its natural color is odd.

I have 80% gray hair and would never ask someone about their hair color!

People in your life prob think you had work done and dye your hair. And when you deny it, they’ll assume you’re lying.

The rest of the people secretly hate you and wishing you fail.

Don’t worry…you will. It is inevitable unless you die soon.

Aww good luck with your macular degeneration. We have that in our family and I'm taking the vitamins. Have taken my mother to the eye surgery many a time. They caught it, but not early enough. She's stabilized but probably not going to improve. The medicine has come a long way. Good for us for tackling it now!

I’m 61 with long hair the same color as always (honey brown/blonde). Everyone thinks I’m younger than I am so attitude might have something to do with it too.

My grandma was like this too. Then out of the blue she had a heart attack. Somehow it aged her overnight - physically, cosmetically, and emotionally.
