Is turning 30 even scary anymore? Idk. Being 30 years old used to come with all these expectations like you were "too old" for anything anymore or you had to own a house and a car by then. You either made your dreams come true by 30 or just became an NPC, essentially. I still have a few more years until I hit 30, but I kinda stopped caring about age after graduating college. Maturing doesn't stop at adulthood, and it doesn't come with age per se. Personal growth comes with experience, and we should start treating it as such.

I'm really fortunate that growing up, no one actually important in my life (parents, close friends, favorite teachers) instilled this idea that only certain hobbies/activities/subjects are childish or vice versa. As long as it makes the person happy and it's not actually harming anyone else, then why should we criticize them or it? Everyone's different :,) Always happy to see when someone is no longer afraid of aging! ...well, I can understand fearing the logistics of it (retirement, certain health outcomes, etc.), but that's it's own separate topic lol. Otherwise age is just a number~ Nice thoughts!

different perspective, but I get feeling behind growing up. being trans with a family I had to hide it from felt like being in stasis for so long. eventually I came to the same conclusion as you that progress is not 1:1 for everyone. learning how to be social and style myself in my mid 20s wasn't ideal, but that's okay. early 30s to me looks like a small apartment with my cat, staying up late and playing the same games with friends now, watching seasonal anime still, knowing how to actually cook food, and feeling comfortable in how I present to the world. still have a ways to go on things, but 30 is just a number. it hasn't slowed me down at all glad you're feeling better about it :>

I will be 27 in less than 2 months and am stressing out over a bunch of things rn. Really felt like I needed some reassurance like this. Thank you.

I'm already into my 30's, 33 going on 34, and like you I'm finding it less daunting than I expected. I can't say too much without getting too personal, but I guess the only areas I feel behind where I'd expected to be are in romance and "dream job", but I'm okay with both because I've come to realize being single is better than being in a bad relationship, while any career in the videogame companies I'd like to work at would almost certainly force me to kill my channel. It's about finding a balance where you're satisfied with what you've got in life. I'll admit I'm now scared of turning 40 though, but the feeling might fade once I get closer. Main thing I've realized is at every point in my life, I look back on my previous "stage" and sigh at how much of an idiot I was back then, saying I'm way more mature now. And then I'd reach another life stage and the process repeats. (Kindergarten > Primary School > High School > University > Mid 20's > Early 30's > ???) Someone thought I was a student when I was at an art supplies store recently. That felt good I guess. Based Tokyo Mirage Sessions footage use? 1:57 And of course, Trump did something even more insane after this, given it wasn't shown it was likely after you worked on this video. 4:00 ARGH CURSED SONIC FEET GET IT AWAY! 9:57 ...Holy crap it's been so long since I heard Haley Joel Osment sounding like an actual child that this jumpscared me.

As a person who’s 36 just recently and was absolutely terrified of 30. It really really isn’t that big of a deal. They say comparison is the thief of joy, and I think this still holds true. Just comparing ourselves to others is going to lead to bad things. Let alone all of the other internal stuff going on at the same time. And anyway we only compare ourselves to those doing better. We don’t look around at others around us who are this age and go well they’re broke so no biggie for me right? lol lots of people have issues with money or status or whatever. Just make it to a place you’re happy and comfortable. No need to kill ourselves for these corporations

Hi bubbletea. I'm 20 years old, 21 this year. I was never scared of growing up, to get older and this thing, I always thought of me to be a not much good looking guy so I don't care if I'll be even less good looking. But now I feel scared. Because my last year of school broke every security I had, of me and my future. So right now I don't know what to do, what job to do or what to study. It doesn't help the fact that I have had a horrible headache since October, so even if I want to try to work I'm not in the condition to do so. So right now I'm blind about the future. And that really scares me.

@_bubbletea Of course I went to a doctor 🤣 I'm following a therapy right now and I'm feeling better but still not healed. I have tried some other therapies before but they didn't work, only this one is giving me benefits, and I've been following it since the 30th of December. Anyway I didn't expect you to comment, and specifically my last line but still I'm happy to have received a reply.

28 going on 29. I’ve wanted to be a KZbin creator since I was 15 and I still have not done it because I’m a perfectionist. Last year I spent a lot of money on a decent PC to help me get started, and I can’t because my mind tells me “Starting now is stupid, you’ll be amateurish and you shouldn’t be an amateur at 28.” The things we tell ourselves, they are debilitating.

Just sort your audio and then start. Being perfectionist is an issue, you just have to accept it's going to be lower than your standards. For a while. Then you get better at it. But you only get better and approach your standards if you actually do it. And if you have a release schedule of 1 video per month or more, it's going to be even harder to feel the end result is good. Focus on having one good thing per video instead of being overall good video. As long as that 1 thing is good, release the video and move to the next. That's one strategy to deal with perfectionism: make concessions to your self ("It's not perfect overall but this goal I set was perfectly achieved").

I'm 33, going to become 34 this year. It's weird how we don't get "old" in our mind, we just accept "i'm old, so i should act the part". I don't watch animes anymore, don't care much about movies and entertainment in general, things like working to build a house take priority now. At least i still play games at the end of the day. When i stop playing games, i'll be truly gone.

There is a KZbin channel with an old woman who is well on in their old age and still passionately discussing and playing JRPGs and other games. It really is just passion, and nothing else matters. Maybe your passions have just adjusted slightly right now.

As an adult going on thirty-four, heading into your thirties only seems daunting when you count the hours, minutes and seconds till the strike of twelve. After that it just becomes a series of "what now?" moments. Simply put, being an adult is making who you grew up to be work for the betterment of yourself and those around you. It's taking lived experience and turning it into new life. It needn't carry the baggage of your forbears or your own past - only learn and grow from it. Though there will be times and people you will have to answer to. Humility, for lack of a better word. We don't need to keep making it so scary complicated. The world is enough of that already. Be truthful, simple and abundant.

I'm about to be 25 and going to start college, this year and to be honest I'm not that afraid of turning 30. I already know what I want to be and nothing will change my mind. Who knows what awaits me in the next 5 years but I'm ready for it.

Ah! Looks like some experiences in the world are universal... 27 and scared shitlles off the big day here. But I do feel a little better knowing that I'm not alone in this.
