Are you in a mid-life crisis?

This entry was posted by Kedar on Thursday, 25 September, 2008 at

Although I don’t believe such a thing exists on a scientific level, here are some symptoms I can imagine. :-)

Consider yourself in a mid-life crisis if -

  • You are getting nostalgic about the past lately
  • You think cutting your hair short makes you look younger
  • You think tight T-shirts suit you better
  • You get unusually happy when you buy from Forever-21 or American Eagle or Hollister or Abercombie.
  • You start believing in stories of young girls dating married old men
  • You say you don’t remember your age on your birthday
  • You start becoming ambiguous about your age in general – you prefer to use floor() instead of round() on your age. You fight with all your liar’s might to stay below 40.
  • …..

My friend Troy has contributed more to this list… his list is in his comment. Thanks Troy for your contribution!

    That’s so funny.. my wife keeps telling me I must be in “one-third-life-crisis” rather than mid-life crisis… several items on your list apply to me. :)

    You could add to your list..

    - You just bought a motorcycle
    - You start working out, because you think it might be your last chance to actually be fit
    - You are more motivated to finish your projects before your mental faculties deteriorate or you get too lazy
    - You find sites like Facebook annoying because you don’t want to keep up with the latest tech fads all the time
    - You realize you’re closer to 40 than to 30 and are momentarily disturbed by that thought

    On the bright side… I have a lot more energy lately.. and value my remaining time more highly. :-)
