ever feel down about your age?

Yes. Kind of regret losing sight of my goals while I was in undergrad. Cost me 4 years of my life.
So now I am 28 in my last year of law school, won't be a lawyer until I am 29(hopefully if I pass on the first try).
It sucks, cause I know there is no competition between myself and my older brother, like at all, he has been one of my greatest influences and support, but I can't help to sometimes compare myself to him and it makes me feel worse about my age.

so not really. I did waste a couple years of my life going to college for the wrong degree but other than that not really.

No regrets about my age, but there was this time I had an opportunity to get down with two girls at once and I inexplicably turned it down. I regret that.

I don't regret my age, but I do regret being an adult in some ways. Real world sucks. I just got married last Nov, we're coming up on our first year annv, and we both have full-time jobs. We both like our jobs and careers, but it's tough to be passionate about them, we value our time off of work so much. The weekends go by too fast and it seems like there's not enough time in the days to get things done outside of work.
I happened to be the only guy that attended mom's wednesday night happy hours. I was the bartender and pretty much learned how to flirt that summer. Ended up serving more than drinks too.
Everybodies life could be better. I could be more aggressive with internships and just more social in general, but I'm not quite depressed yet. I get that every once in a while, when I fail a class or have bills to pay, but it's all almost over and I still have a a solid six years of my twenties left. My big brother proposed to his now fiancee and life is pretty good in general. No real complaints. Could do without the college bills, but hay, I either spend two or three decades paying them off or hit a lottery a pay all/most of it off.
I'm 28. Main regret I have is losing touch with some close friends over the years. Just not the same even when we do get together anymore. Not enough time to just cut through all the BS and just enjoy each other's company it seems. Keeping in touch is a 2-way street though. I'm quite happy with my life so far either way.
why can't I get Joan Rivers' face out of my mind when I read this?I happened to be the only guy that attended mom's wednesday night happy hours. I was the bartender and pretty much learned how to flirt that summer. Ended up serving more than drinks too.
Yeah, I think in youth you don't appreciate all the time you have for your friends. As soon as full time work looms, you get your own house, gf/wife (not to mention kids), it can become difficult to make time for your friends. Then people move away, change social circles and before you know it you haven't seen one of your best friends for 2 years.
I cracked 50 recently. That made me feel old, chronologically. Inside, I still feel about 30 most of the time, sometimes younger. I get down sometimes, but it's usually about various disappointments in myself, in others, or in life in general. I don't usually get down about my age per se.
I welcome death's sweet embrace.
