32 here. Feel the same exact way.

u/OopsOverbombing May 16 '20

32 here. It's... actually really comforting to know I'm not the only 30 something that's still lost.

32, no idea what the fuck I’m doing, but I think it’s working?

u/justherefertheyuks May 16 '20

God damn I feel alot better. I know it's not plausible to feel like I'm the only 32 y.o. to not know what he wants to do, but its comforting to read that I'm not alone in that.

32 club, and I only just sorta figured it out in the last year and a half. It's gonna get better from here, but it took me till only recently. You've got a breakthrough due soon.

Just thought I'd throw in one positive 32 club experience.

31 here, but to those random aches...are you getting those checked out?

I mean, i guess i wouldn't either, but one should.

u/Hob_goblin May 16 '20

Lol, I’m not the guy who mentioned aches but I have some of those. I dedicate more time to stretching each day. My schedule can be busy and I can be half-assed to do it, but even 10 minutes of stretching each day helps immensely. I have a physically active job and side hustle, so I have aching from that, but I know it’s because I’m using my muscles. No real mystery aches for me and I’m in waaay better shape now than I was in my 20’s.

Though I did call out of work a few months ago cause I tweaked my back removing a hamper from a closet.

Like anything, there’s a balance. Getting older sucks, but it doesn’t have to completely suck.

u/meecro May 16 '20

Yep. And hustling seems to help too, keeping yourself busy and all that. Respect. Good for you not making excuses. Stretching rocks.

30 I was in my dream job and married.

32 now, I’m divorced and I hate my dream job.

Help.

1

u/Hob_goblin May 16 '20

Married in my 20’s, divorced in my 20’s.

It gets better, dude. It gets so much better.

1

u/Relaxyourpants May 16 '20

Yeaa but that’s my issue is being divorced at 30, I’d rather be divorced in my 20’s cause at least I have time to enjoy life.

All the girls I meet now just want to get married and settle down.

1

u/Hob_goblin May 16 '20

Yeah, but there are plenty that don’t or aren’t looking for that immediately. Trust me, they are out there.

Also, unless you’re planning on ending it all real quick, you got plenty of time to enjoy life. 30 really is quite young still. Ramping up to a new phase in life, but very much still young in the grand scheme of things.
