Older=harder

[Axelgreen]

Does getting older make life harder to deal with... all things to have less meaning and less enjoyment in it... everything seem to be void of life. Didn't feel so when i was younger, but things sucks so bad now.

Initially no for me. When I turned 50 I was happy. Thought it was good to have life experiences to appreciate things more. But then it seemed the world had changed. Everything declining in quality. Buildings and cars and homes all look similar and drab. Now my company is being sold and the cover is fully pulled back. Everything has been corrupted by greed. I do not think it's age other than we can compare to a different time. There's always been greed and political divisiveness but not like this. Covid maybe accelerated it. But it's changed and I'm no longer interested in it.

I thought I was going to do the highest things, be the best kind of person somehow. I never set a realistic goal and worked for it. I thought youth was just gonna bouy me up and up and up. It ended and I realized I had done nothing good with my time. The horror is immeasurable. I recognize good in me. I could have been raised right, educated right. But I developed a sick soul instead. What a stupid, shameful young life I lived. The one bright spot, wrestling, I gave up. I became nothing and no one.

Life sucked more and more as I got older and older.

Main problem with ageing is Declining health and extreme bias towards older people apparently we have all the money !!!!

It's like the joy and innocence has been remove from life...

The younger me had this same proclivity towards negative thoughts, suicide ideation but a little 'thirst' for life. Now, having reached middle age, I'm just not bothered with the whole thing.

I'm 65. For me, a definite "yes".

Almost 50 here... I lost my father at 23.. everything for me started to go downhill at that point. Seems like I've spent the last 30 years not thriving, but just surviving. No spouse, no kids. Mom passed 2 weeks ago. When you get older you reach a point where life stops giving you things, and instead starts taking them from you. So for me personally I would agree older=harder, but I wouldn't say it's that way for everyone.
