To ask if you view 29 as young

[User7777000]

Young as in young in life.

The adolescent brain is not fully matured at 18 but this is not necessarily a bad thing, it's just different and there are benefits to it too. Teens at work pick things up quickly.

Yes 29 is young, because if 29 isn’t young then that means I’m not young as I’m older than that 😅

I overheard my students saying they’re glad they still get ID’d because 25 is so old. I’m only 30 myself so I died a bit inside! Honestly don’t remember thinking of 25 or even 30 as old at 19/20 but there you go…

I think you’re technically a young adult until 35 and that’s when middle age begins which is kind of depressing but there you go.

Well I do these days - it's an everchanging perspective!

Young is under 40. Old is over 80

I thought 25 was the age when the adolescent brain had fully matured into an adult brain?

Obviously we’re still learning at 29 (we do lifelong tbh) but I believe that we’re “full adults” by 29.

@AvengedQuince

The poster is 29 though, not 18

I've read mid to late 20s for the brain to mature fully.

The brain is just different though, doesn't mean anyone is a 'baby' adult or not capable of working and making decisions as an adult and raising children.

Young adult 22-26
Full adult 27-40
Middle aged 40-60
Older adult 60-75
Aged 75+

Good summary by @Ponoka7

To directly answer the OP's question of course, we'd need the context.
I'm about to retire, but in one hobby I do, I am definitely considered 'young', however, obviously in many other contexts - including work, family, my friendship group, and going by the "ooof" noise I make when one of my knees doesn't work when I get out of the chair, I am clearly getting on a bit.

I'm mid 50s and would say

18-23 - very young adult.
24-30 - young adult.
31-41 - adult.
42-52 - middle aged.
53-69 - senior.
70-85 - elderly.
86+ - very elderly.

When I was 29 I was old. Now I'm 55 and 29 is very young 🤣🤣

I’m 40 and I would give anything to be 29 again! 😢

Yes, @AvengedQuince , I think that’s why I baulk when ppl suggest that a 29-year-old has a “baby” adult brain as that implies that they still need looking after in some ways.

Unless they have additional needs, 29-year-olds are perfectly capable of being independent adults and I’d be really frustrated if one of my children still expected me to parent them in the way I did when they were 18, for example. I wouldn’t do it!

Mine are 18 and 15 and I expect them to be fully adulting in 11 and 14 years respectively.

DS1 is 29 in a couple of weeks but I still see him as a teenager. He reminds me all the time that he’s “a grown ass man”. He’s still young imo. I feel sometimes that he’s younger than I was when I was 29, but maybe that’s because he’s my child.

Young to be retiring, old to be learning to read.

I'll be 65 in 4 years. I work 52 hrs a week, I ran a half marathon this year and go to festivals.

I won't be old in 4 years!

😂😂😂 60+ Old?!
Are you a teenager?!

Well you will, because you'll have been alive for 65 years. That means you're old. You may be old and fit in which case good for you, but you're old. The age you are now you're old as well btw. Doing well, but old. It's a descriptor, one of many, not a cuss word.

YABU to expect sensible answers when not providing context.

Prob young for me to shag someone (I’m 40s) but on the other hand … But not particularly young for a friend.

This is perfect imo

Young-ish, but getting old. Only a few years to sort your life out depending on what you want to do

Fine. Then I presume you won't be taking your free bus pass, pension or any discount related to your age since you're not old apparently.

Nah.
Why begin at 16. Youth begins at 0. If you're talking about adults, start at 18.
40-44 year olds are definitely middle aged and the 60+ or at least 65+ are all old.
'Older' is subjective. We're all older than someone and its use as a euphemism for old is bullshit.

30 did feel really depressing for me (I turned 30 in April)

I think its because its the age that is engrained into you that fertility starts decreasing etc so you realise your youth is starting to fade!

I have started to feel "older" the past year or so. The toll of single parenthood, working full time and ASD child has aged me a LOT.

Not really. I think of 18-25 as a young adult. 26-45 just an adult. 46-65ish middle aged. 66-80 old. Anything above 80 very old.
