I'm not really sweating it myself: I had my bad year at 37 (I've no idea
why!).  Since then I've not really been bugged at all, and like you, I
reckon I've stuck somewhere round 28.  I always reckoned I was too young to
be a hippy and too old to be a punk, I've decided that I transcend all
classifications *g*  Somebody got in before me in upbraiding JonB over his
"jazz duffer" comment, but I always found the (modern/avant-garde) jazz
world refreshingly free of age/class/style boundaries!
