Is it possible to start out at, let’s say, 20 years and be sharp as a knife. Never forgetting things, never dropping things, always have an answer ready and can do multiple things at once. And then around 30 you suddenly drop stuff you have in your hands, you forget if you locked the door, your contactlenses have gone missing from the storagecontainer, people need to stop talking while you drive?

    From a sexagenarian with no health issues, I really noticed some degradation in acuity around 40. I have a lot less now. There’s stuff I just can’t do anymore. It’s fun getting old.

      Same here. I’ve always been clumsy, but holy smokes now days it can be really bad.

      Also, I no longer have the mental accuity I used to have things take longer to learn, and I’m often stuck with the right answer on the tip of my tongue but can’t get it out.

      I’ll be sixty in two months.
