Anyone else feel like their body began falling apart in their 20s? (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

In my early 20s, I got tinnitus even though in the rare occasion I'm around loud noises I wear hearing protection.

In my mid-late 20s, my vision got worse after never needing glasses and my knees starting creaking with occasional pain. I now need some more involved dental work even though I brush and floss regularly.

I've lived a predominantly outdoor, active lifestyle the last several years, so I should be quite well off health-wise, but it still feels like I'm aging faster than I should be. wtf?

When people say that teenagers feel like they're invincible, this is what they're talking about. The reality of life is that all this stuff starts much sooner than you'd expect. Growing up, you think you're probably fine until you get old but it's all part of a gradual decline that you have no choice but to get used to.

Good luck, buddy!
