What age do you perpetually feel? Why? Does it match your chronological age?

I just feel like an incompetent person my own age. Like today, I was s t o k e d about recognizing my own belonging while I wasn't wearing my glasses.

I am constantly feeling as if I am 29 all the time. On bad days I feel like 32. Today I feel like 39. I think I have no chronological age. That in my mind would mean I am able to sort my life into a linear sequence of moments I do remember. I've never been able to do that. There are bulks of memories of different times that clump together like as a close to present entity and some that are farer away and in between there are big voids. My personal time seems like bunches of cow dung. Connected by remains of straw.

I'm a millenial so I like to joke and/or complain about everything without actually enacting any major change, so I feel age-appropriate tbh

My feeling age seems to increase over time but it never catches up with my biological age. I feel about 28. When I was in my 20's or early 30's I felt 17.

I feel ageless. Now I am 33 and I feel like 18. And when I was 18 I felt also like 33 or 28 or 16 etc. I felt different when I was 12 or so.

I don't feel or think any differently from how I did in my early twenties. And I just turned 30. I must be immature or something.
