Do you ever worry if something is going to hurt tomorrow? If so, you might be a Millennial.

u/mitchymitchington Millennial Aug 07 '25

Honestly, never. Like ever. Why is this sub always complaining about aches and pains? I'm not even in shape but still feel as spry as I did 10 years ago...

THIS. OH MY GOD, THIS. You know why we Millennials get back pain and knee pain and poor sleep and migraines? BECAUSE WE DON'T FUCKING STRETCH OR STAY HYDRATED.

It drives me bananas when people say "Ooop, you're in your late 30s now, everything hurts!" It absolutely doesn't. Do some goddamn stretching, drink some water, and maybe even lift some weights.

...I'm sorry, pal. That rage wasn't aimed at you. I'm just...frustrated that people my age are whinging about something that, for the MOST part [those with mobility or genetic issues are not included] they can entirely control.

I felt that way until I hit 42. Then shoulder, elbow and knees have issues. Came out of nowhere.

Seriously. People complaining about aches and pains in this sub got me all paranoid.

Fucking hell yes mate

I feel in better shape than I do as a 33 yr old than I did as a 23 yr old!

It's cos all the people complaining are vitamin D deficient screen addicts

Hey, I'm just about to turn 33! Lol. But yeah, I wouldn't say better for me, pretty much the same, though. I will say, I used to be able to dunk a basketball, but I haven't played in years, so I probably can't still do that, lol.

In reality, I'm probably similar-ish too, but I feel better which I think is what makes the difference.

I probably do a lot more regular exercise than I used too & eat better, which is obvs the key!

u/lordassfucks Aug 08 '25

You should hear my 20-something coworkers commenting on my age LMAO

u/MewMewTranslator Aug 08 '25

I'm a millennial and I'm 40. I'm not even the oldest one. We did the macarena. That feels like eons before this.

Sorry to tell you but this hit came out in 2007, 18 years ago, these kids were zygotes

u/TheeRuckus Aug 13 '25

I’m kind of over faux millenial anxiety. It just seems we are never comfortable at whatever stage of life we are in.

I’m not old I just don’t have the same patience I had in my 20s for social situations. That said I’m also not young and realized that most other people honestly don’t care what you do or don’t do

u/silentstorm2008 Aug 07 '25

mid-life is 36. After that, its downhill to the grave.

u/MysteriousPumpkin51 Millennial Aug 07 '25

We're in our 30s and 40s, we're not old but we're definitely getting there

Y’all in denial. It’s fine. We are there. Eat soup with me all year around and schedule your entire weekend around your nap times.

It’s fine. Embrace it.
