When they turn 12
14
When they become 16
19
For me around 26
30
In my opinion about 30
30s
30 and up
35
Crossing 40
Mid 40s
40 and up
45
Like 45
In their late 40s when the vision you have for yourself is capped
50
Maybe 50
I would say maybe 50
About 50 years
After 50
At 50 I noticed things change. Get tired quicker, don't heal as fast
At 50 if felt age has an impact on the body and recuperating. In my mind the body is not made to live beyond 80
When they’re like 50 years old
Societally most people would say 30s, you're not actually old until late 50s. In modeling probably 20
I feel my age physically more at 50 than I did at 45. I don't agree with people who say age is just a number but some people do choose to feel/act older
54
56
It extends further every year but 56
59
60
When they are 60
60, I can't do what I used to, both mind and body
60ish
I would say at the age of 60
Above 60
I'd say their 60s
I'd like to say when they start thinking they are old but physically 60
I would say in their late 60s
61
63
After 63
65
65, retirement age
At 65 when you're literally a senior and can get into the movies for cheap
Over 65
65/70, you're still young until then
70
70 and above
Above 70
Nowadays I can say nearly after 70
Maybe after 70
70 or over, I never thought about age, only with health
I think I was introduced to the idea that 70 years is a lifetime
It varies from person to person, in India some become old at 40. But I would consider someone old past 70
I dunno, maybe in their 70s
Between 70 and 80
78
80
80 that's when I felt it. They say its the golden years but they lied
Only after 80, I'm still active and take care of myself and others
They start to think so in their 50s but I haven't gotten there yet. 80s I suppose
85
Well I've got a professional opinion, medically 85 and older. But I think when people declare themselves older. In general there's not much difference between 65 and 85
85 or older
86, my grandfather told me to do everything you want to do in life do before you're 86, because everything goes downhill after that
87
Well that's changed over the years, 88
In their 90s
90-92
When they're 100
100 isn't it, as long as our mind is good
100?
120
After they're a grownup
As soon as their favorite show gets put on me.tv
As soon as they allow themselves to get old. when they become disinterested
As their years increase, they get older
Baba [Father]'s age
Can't answer that one. It's a shifting target. Depends on your definition at the time. When you feel old
Depends on the person
Every person is different. I got old when I stopped working, after the traveling
Experiences in our life make us old at a certain age
I actually don't believe in getting old. Even when you're 90 you're still young at heart. But adulting life is hard
I do not know
I don' t think it's an age thing. It's mental, you can be 20 and old or 95/100 and young
I don't even know, anytime they decide to change their lives to be respectful and responsible
I don't feel old so far, I had a hip replacement and I'm limping but that's it
I don't know
I don't know anymore
I don't know, whenever you think you're old
I don't really know
I don't think people become old
I don't think there's a specific age. It's when they clarify themselves as old (when they decide)
I don't think you can put a number, it depends on your personality
I feel like people probably become old when they let themselves become old in their mind
I guess it’s kind of a mindset. Once you’ve developed a mindset that you’re old and stopped trying new things
I guess when they want. Because old isn't a bad thing
I haven't felt it
I think it's always 10 years ahead of the age you're at
I think it's more a mental state, age is relative
I think it's when they quit being mobile. I think it's when they become sedentary, negative. They start to be couch potatoes
I think its a mindset. It depends on the person, depending on how they take care of themselves. You never have to become old if you're doing fun things. You become old when you give up on trying new things and don't think life is interesting. And if you're old you can feel young if you have a positive attitude
I think people are ageless in some ways, age is just a number
I think that depends on the person. i don't feel old, I don't feel 75
I think that's a matter of mind, you're as old as you think
I think that's so individual, depends on the person
I think that's determined individually
I think there's people who were born old, I think its a state of mind
I think they become old when they have to stop doing some of the things they loved doing when they were younger
I want to say it's relative, it's a state of mind, and a physical process. I would say it's relative depending on your state of mind
I'm not really sure, I guess it's when you feel that way
I'm not thinking of a number, when your body gives up on you
If we are strong we can't say we are old. Whenever our heart and mind are bold we can't say we are old
In their mind
Inevitably
It all depends on your lifestyle. I've seen some awfully old young people
It can be when you get sick. My parents have always seemed old. When my Dad started stooping and seeing my mother looking like her mother after her illness. When illness or infirmity takes over. It's easy to say a thought but there is a point where you're overcome by the physicality
It depends on how you feel
It depends on the complexity of the challenges that you face and how you respond to them. That shows a level of maturity
It depends on their mind
It has less to do with a year and more to do with the experiences in their life
It keeps changing
It really depends on the person, I believe you can't measure that with numbers
It's a question everyone will answer differently. I will answer differently from day to day. Some days it might be 40, other days it be 70
It's a state of mind, when they think they're old, they're old
It's difficult to say a specific number. It depends on their situation (married, have kids)
It's just a matter of growth, taking it easy as you go
It's more of a mental state, when you feel old I guess
It's up to you. I'm 48 but I feel 21, it's your heart
It's when you stop exercising, when you stop doing things. When you stop being busy and keeping busy
Lucy [dog] is old
Maybe when you stop learning and stop being interested in what other people are doing (my own personal view). From a society perspective, young people will always think older people are old
Mentally if they become sick, they become old
My age plus 20 years
Never
Not a chronological thing, it's a mental thing. I keep waiting to feel like I'm getting older. At age 60 I'll say 80
Now
Old
Old doesn't mean anything
Old is a frame of mind
Old is not a thing, when we think we become old that's when we become old
On a daily basis, it's about how you feel
On the negative side, when they are done learning, on the positive side when they acquire wisdom
Once they decide to become old
People becoming so tribal and focusing on differences not similarities and pulling into their own shells
Personally I think when they think they are
Philosophically probably when they stop dreaming and taking (chances?) or literally when wrinkles start coming in
Really a state of mind, people who are young have old souls, and I know people who are old that I have a hard time keeping up with
Some people have an old soul at an early age, it's all about perspective
That's a state of mind, I feel like I know old 25 year olds and young 80 year olds
That's all in your mind, I don't feel old though I call myself an old goat
There isn't a time for me
There isn't one age. I guess it's when you feel that younger people have advantages
We get old on the outside but we learn to stay young on the inside
When difficulty comes and they start thinking about it
When from a physical point of view you feel uncomfortable or in pain or its difficult to do things
When it's their birthday
When life makes you mature and you're forced to make decisions
When their body and mind no longer permit them to experience their life the way they want to
When their bodies start shutting down- some people could be young others could be old
When their body starts breaking down, could be at 20, 80 or 90
When their mind becomes old
When their mind becomes old and that could be any age. If they stop believing in themselves and what they can do they can start to become cranky
When their mind is old. I've met 23 year olds that are old. When you're closed off and when you vote for Donald Trump
When their mind makes them old
When their mind tells them to think that they’re old. I feel like there’s plenty of time left
When their numbers are old
When there's nothing in their life that makes them feel young at all

When they decide to be and let themselves be old
When they decide to become old. You're as old as you think you are. Some are old at 40, others at 90 will never get old

When they don't feel joy
When they don't respect humans
When they feel it or their body starts to deteriorate to the point where their lifestyle is affected

When they feel old, no particular age. You can be old at any age

When they think in their hearts that they are old
When they think of themselves as old, when they feel it

Whenever you feel old
You're only as old as you feel
You're only as old as you think you are. You're only old when you think you're old
