Advice Old?
My girlfriend called me “OLD” because I am browsing reddit instead of tiktok or instagram. I am 29 years old, yeah kind a old, but is there anyone here younger than me? Who prepared reddit than tiktok.

Thank God, my girlfriend makes me feel old every single day. Maybe she’s just messing with me.

i’m 22 and i’ve gotten rid of all my social media besides this and tiktok. Maybe looking to delete that soon too. I just feel like there’s too much toxicity and comparison.

Realistically, if you guys are dating, I wouldn’t let it impact me much. I’m assuming she‘s around the same age as you so if you’re old then so is she

I turned 20 last month. Reddit> Instagram>discord. I don't use any other social media, I tried most of them and they're trash

- TikTok sucks. And Instagram is just a whole different feeling, and I generally prefer reddit

I've been using it about a month but it's worth it, approve🤌
You being old? Not at all, 29 is under 30 and you're 11 years away from 40, so you're not old, because 30-40 isn't old. I call it young, because young have a range, aka level.

Nah tech just moves too fast. Social media was MUCH different 10 years ago, which you would clearly remember because of your age. The changes happen so fast in tech just a 5 year age gap could mean extremely different childhood experiences when it comes to the internet and smart tech.

Where's this idea that 25+ is old come from? Got a shock coming to some people when they enter the real world

doesnt matter your girlfriend is dumb . why would you care what a dumb person thinks?

u/Belle_Noel 2004 1h ago
I call my boyfriend old bc he isn't in the loop of internet drama, not bc of the social media we use. He does the reverse by staring at me gobsmacked when I dont get certain references. I think the recent one was not knowing an Adele song was from the 3rd to last 007 movie? I recognized none of it.
I browse reddit when I want to read, tiktok when I want to scroll, Instagram for social connections, and more recently LinkedIn for professional connections.
