Have you found ageing hard?

[Grasshopper12]

I'm only 31 so probably going to get shot down by people older, but I've still had some changes.
The skin under my eyes has definitely thinned, so now I've got more obvious dark circles no matter how much sleep I have/water I drink. Someone even told me I looked tired the other day when I'd had a great night's sleep. :/
I'm contemplating tear trough filler as apparently it's the only thing that fills out the hollows.
Currently I haven't got any other signs, small crows feet around my eyes and slight under eye lines but nothing else, however it's the under eye hollows that bother me.
However this is just the start of it all I imagine. I wear SPF 50, use retinol, tretonin, vitamin C etc.
I'm not bothered about looking older in the future, it's not realistic to look 20 forever.
However I'm scared of looking haggard, washed out, sagging and so on.
Yes it is shallow to say but I like my looks, I do get validation from them which I know is sad.
I know it's better than the alternative, but this doesn't mean we aren't allowed to care about how we look.
Has anybody else found ageing hard physically? What was the hardest thing about it?

hardcore ageing 😂😂😂

It's normal to feel like that, a bit, at 30

But I got over it

Am 50 now, and unlike everybody else on here I look my age nobody says I look younger (well, people do but it's because that is what they feel they HAVE to say to older women haha. I know I don't though)

I loved 40s and loving 50

The older you get the less you care. I can see a few greys and some wrinkles, bit tired looking without make up...

I am fitter at 50 than I was at 30 though, and same weight/size as I have more time to look after myself. I no longer work like crazy, and my kids are grown up...

Your perspective changes. I would not tinker with surgery if I were you
