Not wanting to age beyond 30s

[SighCry]

I don't know how to explain it but I just know I'm not supposed to ever age beyond my 30s. Like, I am simply not meant to be a 40 year old, 50 year old, 60 year old... I'm not supposed to do any of the things that people expect us to do (marriage, kids etc). I'm not supposed to be here for when my parents die. I'm not supposed to have real adult like responsibilities and problems. I may be young but I have lived a very fulfilled life up until now. I do not have anything else that I want to achieve.

Yeah I've felt similarly and thoughts like this have been more intense than ever lately. I'm nearly 30 and I'm surprised I've lived as long as I have. I'd be genuinely shocked if I was still alive to see myself turn 40...

I'm also young, but I have heard many stories from people who thought this way and then actually did turn 30, 40, and so on. I can relate to not wanting to achieve anything, though. Unlike many people on this website, I don't consider myself a loser or a failure. I think I could achieve whatever I want (within reason), but I just really see no point. I struggle to imagine a life that is worth living

I feel similarly. I genuinely can't see myself becoming 30 years old. I see myself dying in my twenties. Tbh I'm shocked I even made it to my twenties.

Whats so bad about 30? Just another number
All of those things you mentioned are societys expectations, i say fuck em

I thought that about 40, but here I am. Unfortunately.

30 is fine, haha it's more like 40+. Like you're properly an adult at that point.

still fuck em at 40. If you cant fulfill the expectations thats societys fault not yours

30s are young. Hopefully you will change perspective.

I cant imagine myself going beyond 30 either. If i somehow live until then its gonna be really tragic. I've pushed my deadline to age 30 now. I got to do it before i hit my 30s at any cost.
