This summer I entered the 30 year old boomer club, yet somehow also firmly swamped in a doomer mental state.

Hi mom
THey really do, itâs weird how some people have that.
When I was in my teens, people kept saying they thought I was in my 20s, because I was mature I guess (more like, I was friendly and patient rather than the jaded old harpy I am now).
I am not sure if I should be complimented or concerned to hear that people still think I am older than I am even now.

Itâs weird now because I used to be the youngest in the guild (or close to) and I felt embarrassed so I never said my age, and growing up knowing I was the youngest made it very weird in different guilds to know that Iâm not the youngest any more!!
What do you mean there are people younger than me now??
I like to think I am up to date with all the young 'uns newfangled nonsense, but thereâs a quiet voice deep inside me that screams that I am probably more out of touch than I realise.
Feels like I grew up in a big technogical and social shift, with social media, smartphones etc really taking off in my teens, so I have a foot in both worlds. I even remember the nokia masonry bricks.

(but yeah same here, grew up with and without technology, checkmate zoomers when the electricity goes down, i shall be just fine 
)
The truest endgame.
just be a bloomer instead of a doomer, simple as
People make too much of a hoopla about the reaction time decrease as you age. Itâs just that the older you get your time investment may just be less in the âdoing sick 360-no-scopesâ area and more somewhere totally different. Or at least more evenly spaced out.
Just how
i eventually even told someone that âno im actually just gayâ, but they kept on insisting they know women very well and that i typed exactly like one
i mean, i suppose queer-light jokes land differently for the straights but ehh
Iâve been mistaken for teenage boy at times
you can have that energy
throwing around more smilies and emoticons fixed it for the most part though

I wonder how many professional woman-detectors I have gone undetected by because of my habit of using those less and less in my advanced age.

I try to look at you with a blank expression, but the weight of bags under my eyes pulls my whole face down so much, that my forehead covers my eyes.

I mean, I use them way less than back during my teens when talking to friends. But theyâre great tone indicators for when I canât be bothered to figure out how to word a sentence more good.
Bloodhound energy
They are. I just donât think about it enough, I guess.
And I am online too much with the wrong kind of people. Iâve always ended up writing a lot like those around me - which has shifted over time along with said people.
Donât forget housing.
And RP.
So many endgames!

I heave.

My teens in a nutshell. I used to think it was a kind expression, now it somehow feels belittling.
Sometimes (: when the forum topic was especially spicy.
It has that cheeky energy ngl
Iâve not used that one since⌠around 2000
but you can try and take some of the others from my cold, dead corpse and I still wouldnât let go of them.
Having to come up with words to replace things like :I , :] , (: or : )? No.
I used to not really use emojis in my teens, now I just embrace the fact I cannot tell tones without them and so I use a few emojis every so often
Thatâs okay.
Friends of friends think Iâm 12 when they hear me speak on VC.
Mainly because i have a potty mouth so it probably sounds like i just discovered swearing.
