I am not aging

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.

Ha, I believe you. But only because I'm naturally blonde. I do have grey hair now (I'm 56) and dye it light blonde of course. My hairdresser always thinks it's kind of amusing to dye it rather than bleach it which is the norm. I guess she just sort of blends it, which makes it ligher blonde than it was naturally. But whatever.

People generally think I'm late 40s, just based on comments--not like I'm asking them to guess my age. So that's good I guess?

My mother is 72 but looks much younger and she has the energy and personality of someone much younger. She will get down on the floor and play with grandkids or chase them around the yard. But, she admits that age is catching up to her. I’ll be very lucky if I’m like her in 35 years.

Yes. It's always some aging event. And it's not the same for everyone. Sometimes it's menopause, having kids, breaking a bone. For me, I was rear-ended and aged rapidly after that.

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!

DP I’ve been asked about mine several times.

One from a college pal who said I was starting to show grey hair. I hadn’t seen him in years so that was crazy to say.

Another is a friend with adhd who tends to say whatever is in her head. She asked if I planned to color it. I didn’t mind because she talked about coloring hers and she wasn’t judging me.

Have you exercised your whole life? I feel like that is key.

And how did your parents age?

Were you raised with great nutrition? Money?

Do you drink alcohol?

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.

Ha!

OP, you must have a charmed life because the times in my life that have most rapidly affected my appearance have been times of worry about loved ones and the bombshell of grief.

Do you have two small circular scars on your neck?

My mom is 86 but completely gray and wrinkled and on no medicine. No prescriptions at all, though she might take some supplements. She's thinner than she was in her 50s.
Fingers crossed I get her genes! I've got the gray hair and wrinkles so here's hoping....

OP, go enjoy you good looks and vitality. It all ends someday.

Sounds like you have the early stages of dementia, actually.
