30 Signs That You May Be Growing Older

Whether we accept it or not, getting older is inevitable. There are changes that we are bound to go through, no matter how resistant we may be. The easiest course of action is to accept it and move forward with grace rather than stressing about things out of our control.

Recently, an interesting discussion occurred online when one Redditor asked others to mention the little signs of ageing they have noticed. It’s ironic how many of these we find relatable, but go ahead and see if any of these resonate with you too.

I went to a barbershop, and the young barber began addressing me with ‘vous’. I said to him, “Please use ‘tu,’” but he immediately replied, “No, I can’t. I’m much younger than you.”

My jaw dropped; I was left speechless. Looking at him, then back at my reflection in the mirror, I noticed the crow’s feet on my puzzled face. Yes, I was much older than him.

#24 A complete lack of interest in learning about new trends. I’m gonna wear skinny jeans and a side part for life.
