You start to develop the ability to not give a fuck.

It’s an absolute superpower, too

Nah, I've turned 30 this year and I already don't give a fuck and fear nothing. It scares me a little lol

You start to form genuine opinions on topics, not just parroting tidbits back to people.

I don't think age determines when that happens

blackbrook@mander.xyz · 9 pts · 233d

When? I think you mean "if".

I'd wager a level of maturity and overcoming insecurity is a requirement, which yes some people can achieve at an early age

I'll be honest if they're talking politically, this still has not happened to me, like sure I have things that I think are right and wrong but I've never been super vocal

otp@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 233d

Or never at all! Haha

oh? if you say so.

Hazy@aussie.zone · 2 pts · 233d

Age is definitely not a requirement for this lol

I once heard someone say:

“My teens were my body’s puberty, my twenties were my mind’s puberty. By my thirties I started to have a handle on things.”

That has really stuck with me. I’ve loved my thirties!

For me it was when everything professionally and personally started taking off.

I'm in my 40s and, uhhhh...

Depending on how you've played your cards the best part is that you've ditched your shitty "friends" and have your 5 or less close friends now.

You've solidified the music you like. The books you care to read.

Tenderizer78@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 233d

I'm 25 and still sorting out the books I care to read. I'm overwhelmed with choice, particularly interesting works in genres that I don't find much joy in.

Finally being able to (mostly) make decisions without undue influence of horniness.

Calming the fuck down

southernbeaver@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 233d

You start to really see who is here for you and who is here just to fuck around. You are surrounded by people who are both and after I hit 30, a lot of it became clearer as to who I should be returning my energy to.

Yeah I can see that, I've been in that space. Ultimately at some point I decided if I was done, why not insteadtry doing something drastic like cutting all ties and trying to travel the world by any means necessary, just starting over and getting all the living I can done, you know?

Finally got my crap together. Career taking off, got rid of my toxic relationships, adopted several cats, getting into really good shape.

Every year is my favorite year. Currently 55. Only reason to go back would be to undo stupid shit i said/did.

HubertManne@piefed.social · 6 pts · 233d (1 reply)

a few years in my thirties was my best time of life. Was able to afford living near the city which was also near my work. I don't think that has to do with age though as much as stable employment.

Sweet sweet brain maturity

spacemanspiffy@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 233d

Not wanting to go out or be social is more acceptable. Plus more excuses to stay home are available.

chunes@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 231d

Closer to being done with all this silliness.

What Conan said. But with more grumbling about this or that hurting.

It's an arbitrary milestone. For me, I stopped worrying about money around 32.
