Life at 40
-
I'm 40 and my body is literally falling apart and in an hour or so I'm going to my local urgent care for internal bleeding they're probably going to send me to the ER for.
So yeah, these kids were pretty much spot on. No wrinkles though. So I've got that going for me.

Anyway I hope it doesn't turn out to be too serious.

"When I am 40, I will have lost my will to live over 20 years prior. I simply wait to die every day. Occasionally I try to do things I think I might enjoy, only to be proven wrong."
This is me at 30 tbqh

Jesus christ, how much do people smoke in these comments to habe wrinkles in their 30's?! It's completely possible to be wrinkle free at the exact age of 40.
I'm just depressed. I've had frowning wrinkles since highschool though.

That’s because the claim being made is legitimately insane. Suggesting that most of the 40 somethings have no wrinkles at all is simply not going to be true.
And again it is much more likely OP has nearsightedness they refuse to recognize
I think the problem is that one side is making a statement as an absolute, and the other one is making a statement which they quantify as "most".
One single occurrence disqualifies the person claiming the absolute.
"Most" would mean more than half, which may be a big ask but we don't know their entire experience, culture, environment, and all the other factors involved.
For the record, as a very fair skinned 53yo woman with blue eyes and blonde hair, I've spent my entire adult life hiding from the sun and wearing sun screen year round (I live in the Chicago area.) I regularly get mistaken for my early-mid 30s, and if I look really close I can see some fine crows feet when I smile. I dare say 10 years ago they'd have been hard to find lol.

Use it or lose it people. I’m over 40 and I’m quite fit and healthy. Do lots of walking, running, rock climbing, golf, and enjoying nature.
I’m in better health than my younger friends simply because I’m more active. See dudes in their 70’s climbing harder than me still and in great shape. You’ve just got to keep moving.
What if I wanna sit on the couch and eat pizza?

Just run of the mill internal bleeding. No big deal.

I'm reminded of this old Catwoman PS2 game clip.
Anyway, they're not entirely wrong. I doubt I'll live to even 84, so I have passed halfway through life and my whole body hurts when I sleep longer than 7 hours.
So I resonate with the "I know I will die soon" line. -

I'm about to turn 40, it's all true

What is this, the medieval times?
It's internet, we have no time here. It's separate timeline.

Totally American.
I've been put through the ringer by the American healthcare system enough already that I wait as long as possible before giving in and getting help. I've been bleeding for a few weeks. It's almost for sure an ulcer. Here's hoping they don't do what they've done in the past, which is mis-diagnose me or make me wait months to see the wrong specialist.

As long as the blood is on the inside I'm not seeing the problem?

It's because elastin actually fades with time, use and sun exposure. The time and use parts are why smile lines, forehead wrinkles and crows feet are common. Many of us only notice our wrinkles after they are observable by others because we see our aging day to day.

I’m in this picture. My hair went grey and I have a quad injury.

Hearing people younger than me talk about how their bodies are falling apart is surreal. I do basically the bare minimum in terms of nutrition, exercise a bit daily, and I feel basically the same as I did in my 20s. Maybe better even because I'm not underweight.

Tbf when I was 8-9 years old I thought that 14 year olds were fully grown adults.
