Do you compare your life to someone else's based on age?

I see some 22 year old chicas with kidS and no daddies. I thank God I'm not there. I see 22 year girls who have just finished school and are engaged. I wonder how nice that would be to have such direction. I see 22 olds adventuring and experiencing the word. I see 22 year olds doing absolutely nothing but living at home and working at the pizza place.

Damnit, I had a point for this thread moments ago. Maybe it will come back.

 

No, never. Age is rather meaningless and I've never been the one to compare myself to other people. I like to do my own thing and just see where it goes.

 

personally I judge how old someone is by numerous factors which is all calculated in my brain and then spit out as respect,
unless I'm judging how old they are
by their wrinkly skin

 

OMG, she's too young for me! How did I get so old?

Am I a loser? A 31 year-old posting on RT till 1am with a bunch of 20-somethings. I must be!

 

I don't compare my life to others at all if I can avoid it, sometimes I slip in to that kind of lazy thinking, but, I'd rather not.

 

hell no. if i did i would have to kill myself every time i see two 12-year-olds holding hands.

 

Na not at my age and situation I don't have too

 

I don't really. Some 50 year olds have had easier lives than my own...but not most. I try to treat everyone the same, but I am wary of old people and their snobbery.

 

Wow. I will have to reread this tomorrow because I was un able to decipher much.

 

The ratio of young mothers in Canada is very low. I know a handful of people with kids and I'm 24.

I've been helping to plan my sister's wedding however. Sometimes I get the urge lately to settle down, like I need to find my own place to call home already, keep it there and do what I want with the rest of my life. I'm in no rush of course, but I have desires coming to me from the future.

 

i do compare my life to the people i know..and well, they all happen to be around my age

i feel like a major fuck up

 

I agree with BSR in that age is really quite meaningless.
But I will compare my own achievements to someone else's based on their age, especially if they are younger than me and have achieved more. But anyone I meet who has achieved more than me earn my respect and admiration, regardless of age, and I try to learn from those people.

When I meet someone who is older but has achieved less than me, I just wonder what they did with their time. I try not to judge, but some people it seems just waste their lives.

 

yes

 

if i compared my life with other folks lives based on age, i'm not sure what i'd do but that's just not cool, cuzi've done some crazy shit in my life nothing that's gonna amount to anything according to consrvative folks but hey i'm still making it happen

 

yes, i do.

 

HI CATE

*waves*

 

I used to, but haven't in a long time. I feel like I'm a little late on the baby cravings, but think everything else has fallen into place.

 

Hi

 

When I see people around my age I think how old they seem. Then I remember I'm old too.

 

I hate it when old people think everyone younger is lazy...just cuz they didnt get arthritis or some other shit until they were seventy three they think everyone is like them
