I love PsychoBabble, it seems easy to talk about anything...I know this is'nt really relevant to Psychology but do us Men get some sort of extra testosterone boost around age 30, like some sort of last stand against our cells and power starting to diminish ?
I mean I thought I was fully developed, but I just noticed in the past couple of years, my voice has gone deep to baritone, cheekbones higher and nose bigger, Shoulders have become more broad and dense without training. Not gradual but like a big change, I got a shock when I looked in a mirror, I did'n recognise my own body. And when I had a photo taken, my face looked a centimetre longer, than previously. Also I can feel the testosterone buzzing, being hyper vigilant, mean, stronger in opinion and very lazy in the sense of trying to force shortcuts through everything mentally.
I've talked about depression and testosterone levels before, and i've lost my depressions...and also my anxiety due to zopiclone, perhaps Anxiety inhibits testosterone, it would make sense. Still whats going on ? is this something that happens anyway post age 30. Nobody told me this would happen. One last masssive surge..

---------Maybe you're just a late bloomer, so to speak. I didn't start puberty until age 17, and I didn't really grow any facial hair until my late twenties. Curiously, the more external signals of masculinity I've developed, the less aggressive I've become.

I felt like I was physically mature at 27.
Maybe testosterone is always changing us until ageing takes over what dominates how our looks change. Maybe gravity increases muscle over time.
I think this whole shock is due to the depression perceptions. I've noticed everybody else looks smaller since I become a little more balanced.depression makes you lose interest in looking at yourself in the mirror for several years.
