For the record, I'm 34.

Heh. I know people much older than that who's behaviour is immature and
juvenile. ;-)

Oh please! I was born 16 years before you were and I think I still have
quite a few good years ahead. You have trained yourself to think negatively.
If you could try to have a better attitude, you will find it goes a long way
to making things better.
And, yes I know these things are easier said than done. But I suppose it all
depends on whether you think it's worth the effort.

Oh, no. I would never :) You just possess a youthful exuberance on these
forums is all. :)

For all practical purposes, only slightly older than I am.

30 is not the "end of life", of course - unless you are an olympian or a
mathematician - but it's an age where the best years of one's live are most
certainly over. Ages 20-25 is where humans peak both mentally and physically
(generally speaking, there are of course rare exceptions). It's all downhill
from there.

Well, there's always denial <g>.

Pretty much.
Middle age is when you start trimming your nose and ear hair.
Old age is when you stop bothering. :-)

I've been meaning to say. Have you ever thought of going to a martial arts
class? With your size and build you would do well at judo. If you don't fancy
wrestling (sometimes with ladies, OMG) you could give aikido a try.
It does build up your confidence and you get to meet people. I see that MK has
Aikido, Judo, Jui Jitsu, Karate, Tae Kwon-do and Tai Chi. I would not recommend
Jui Jitsu, Karate or Tae Kwon-do but the others are quite gentle.

I just turned 31.. seven days ago. I don't feel like I've accomplished
very much... some minor accomplishments which don't make much difference
in the overall scheme of things.
Thank goodness I was a late bloomer. I still have room to grow :) Many
of my friends from back in the day are now going bald and looking old,
while I'm unable to grow more than a goatee. Must be the Native American
blood.
But 31 does seem like a threshold, like I've tipped over the edge and am
coasting, coasting into (gasp) olde age. Oh well, we all get old! No
need to go out and buy sports cars and zipper jackets. Lol, zipper
jackets. Like it's still the 80s or something ;)

This part sounds a bit like me, though I was not afraid to walk alone
for fear of getting my ass beat, but because I was super-self-conscious
about the way I walked and about my appearance in general. I thought I
walked funny, but I could never quite put my finger on *why* my gait was
odd. I always felt like people were watching me, judging me and thinking
I was stupid because I never felt normal when I walked. "Look at that
retard, he can't even walk normally!" As it turns out, my stride was a
little different than everybody else's, due to my long legs and short
torso. One good thing my ex gf did for me was to encourage me to put
emphasis into the movement of my knees, which has helped me smooth out
my steps and keep my head from bobbing too much. I'm still
self-conscious, but it's not nearly as bad as it used to be.

Hmm, indeed. :)
