Is it weird that I have a feeling that I’ll only live to a certain age?

r/

I don’t know if it’s mid life crisis or what but, in the last couple of years I have this strong feeling that 61 is my number. I’m 49 now so that leaves me with 12 more years to go.

    You can get out your cha cha boots and cha cha. Or, you can sit by a calendar and X out the days.

    I don’t think it’s weird necessarily, but don’t make it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

    A buddy of mine in high school always said he was going to die young from cancer. He died at 28 from cancer.

    I thought it would be 65 for me. I had a stroke that year but I’m still kicking at 70 😊

    I’ve known lots of people who felt this way, and so far none of them have been correct

    Yes. It’s called paranoia. You’ll be fine.

    I have a relative who keeps wishing she would leave the world of the living. She’s in her 80s now, and has outlived many of her siblings.

    No.
    I know I will live to an old age.

    Did anyone in your family die at or around that age? My father died when he was 29 and I thought I’d never make it to 30, but I’m 35 now and still knocking about.

    Well, some people really know things that become true much later.

    Nah, but it would be weird if you hunch plays out and you do indeed die at 61.
