Being forgetful, repeating stories to same audience, loosing patience when watching kids throwing toys and enjoying weather by just sitting near windows

Doing jigsaw puzzles! I'm in some Facebook jigsaw puzzle groups that have international members, and people in other countries of all ages do puzzles much more so than we do in the US. 20-somethings will do them together at parties even, it's a social activity, whereas in the US it's more of a solitary activity. I found that very interesting!

I have VCR tapes and no VCR. Same with records. I just can't get rid of them.

I am way too anxious and naggy to be in college. I guess that is my "old person thing". Also I love to bake cookies.

I keep thinking about the past and feel nostalgic even if I'm still young.

The only time I think I am being like an old person is when I prefer old songs instead of new ones. I think old songs are way better than new ones.

I have a weird typing style like old people, I developed it recently because typing like a gen z for so long makes my hands ache now.

I'm much too young for it, but I grunt everytime I stand up or put a mild amount of effort into tasks lol. Sometimes it's legit and others it's for comedic effect.
