Today, it took me longer than it should have with a bit of calculations to remember how old I am. FML

Baby New Year?
Today, I found out that my birth date was entered incorrectly, and I’ve been believing that I am a year older than I really am. I’m actually 14, not 15. How did this happen? Both my parents and the doctor got the year of my birth wrong. FML

Let's grow old together
Today, I stood up wrong from the toilet, leading to me pulling a muscle in both of my thighs, just above the knees. This made me feel old, and even older when I immediately remembered this website from when I was still young. I'm 29 now. FML

Where am I?
Today, same as always, I still have to take a moment to distinguish between right and left. I’m 21. FML

Today, my mother had to ask me when my birthday was, because she gets it confused with the day she bought our old car. FML

Time
Today, I used to look so young for my age that in high school, I was regularly mistaken for a freshman. I never succeeded in getting dates because of it. Today, I'm 25 years-old and regularly get confused for being in my thirties. I guess all the stress from work, loneliness, and rejection really caught up. FML

Time is on my side
Today, I, a person who will be 21 in a few months, was mistaken for my mom's older brother. My mom is in her fifties. Apparently this is becoming increasingly common, because the world sucks. I didn't realize it was affecting me this badly. FML

This is fine
Today, I started a new job. As I was introducing myself during the morning get together with the team, I forgot how old I was, and panicked. I ended up saying I was "twenty-fine." I’m 27. FML

Is that not something you've kept track of over the years?

The older you get, the harder it is to figure out how old you are. I feel you.

No, it's something you don't consciously think about. It's only when some asks you or a birthday comes up.
Bloodknight 22
Yeah, it isn't something you should have to consciously think about. It's something you should automatically know. Maybe I'm just different like that though being over there age of five, but younger than 60 and whatnot...

As you get older the years start to melt into one another as less and less significant things happen which causes the years to seemingly pass faster and thinking about one's age is no longer a question of how long you've been around but rather it becomes a reminder of how long you've got to go.... besides there area lot of people that don't like admitting that they are getting older as every day passes.

When I flash my fingers and say "This many," my artha-ritis flares up and it hurts, and I have to take an Aleve and a Viagra.

...and a viagra? You really need that extra digit?

Well, when I count by elevens using The Punisher, they are so impressed/disgusted/stunned, they never challenge me when I lie about my age.

"The Punisher" ...I shouldn't have asked. ⊙⧍⊙

I'm ashamed to admit that I have to think about it sometimes. I'm 16 and was born in 2000.

Dude. For real? You have the easiest age-calculation since the 1900 babies. Once your birthday has passed, you write your age in the date every day. Simple as ****.
