I'm in my 30's and I still don't feel like an adult. I always feel like I'm mimicking what someone my age should be, and then when I go home, it's like, "finally, away from all those scary adults."

40s reporting in. It doesn't change, I feel like I've been perpetually 20-ish.

My step father, at 77 said to me "you never feel old in your head. I'm an 18yr old in a 70yr old body".

That's a ratio of 4.2, maybe our brains actually stop functioning at 327.6 years old? Body just blows up first?

Our bodies typically cease to function around 80, so yes. We will all be dead much sooner than we would like
