I’m still in my 20s, but as of a few years ago I started forgetting what’s my exact age. I always have to stop and recalculate it each time someone asks me. I get asked fairly infrequently, but when I do it’s a bit weird/embarrassing that I have to say “wait, let me calculate”. (I know when I was born, of course.)
It seems as if there’s no good reason I’d remember it, since it changes all the time and it is rarely mentioned in practice. But others, including people much older than myself, know their own age immediately.
I’m also terrible at remembering people’s names, I don’t know if that could be related?
Seems a bit early, but yeah, completely normal. As an adult, you no longer put as much stock in birthdays and neither does anyone else. It sucks sometimes, but it’s not important to life, so whatever.
On the other hand, I was watching a documentary the other day and it hit me that I just passed the average life expectancy of that society, so …. Shit
Think of it this way - you beat that society! In a “that society vs you” contest, you’re in charge, you’re the boss, the head man, the top dog, the big cheese, the head honcho, the number one…
