Nope, you're describing not being young, that's nothing like being actually old. Growing old has a bunch of stages:

  • joint pain
  • can no longer dance all night
  • hangovers last all day
  • dentists start talking to you about your gums

But then you get to the phase of

  • skin losing elasticity
  • liking dinner parties
  • marijuana is now a medicine
  • developed distinct preferences about stuff like threadcount

And then after that the next phase is more like

  • a lot of time worrying about your parents
  • all body fat migrates to one or two of its favourite spots
  • seriously consider putting everything on lanyards
  • your favourite singers are all dead

And so on, you get the picture. That's as far as I've traveled but as far as I can see the phases after that involve things like bladder leakage and losing friends to alzheimers.
