At What Age Do You Start Feeling 'Old'? And Does that Feeling Affect Who You Are?

​The shift into old age isn’t marked by a single birthday—it’s a gradual, often unexpected journey influenced by everything from health to pop culture. But there usually comes a moment—a fleeting thought, a comment from a younger person, or a new ache—when you suddenly feel the weight of time. This feeling of being “old” is more than physical; it’s a profound change in identity.

For me, that would be not long after I retired.
