No. Most people don't believe me when I tell them anyway. Shiny on the outside, rusty on the inside.
Yeah, evidently everyone on this forum looks younger than they are. And makes $150K a year to boot!
I'm not a senior, still in my 40s, but I'm the opposite. I look older than I am and, justifiably, people usually guess a few years older. One time when I was 30, sitting in a bar alone waiting for someone, a guy approached me and started a conversation. At one point he stated his age, I think he said 39 or 40, and said I looked like I was his age and asked what year I was born. When I told him his face fell, as if he'd just committed a crime or crapped his pants. He looked embarrassed and said he was sorry, and I thought...why?
Our culture is weird about aging and the obsession to look young. It's worse amongst women, all the plastic surgery, botox, etc. Just leave that chit alone! I appreciate people who look their age and are confident about it. Anything else strikes me as deceptive.
for the last forty years, somebody, every single day has ask How old i was. I have never ask in my life, except that 16 year old girl, when i was 16 in school. I dont know why they ask
No botox, lifts, fillers. SO calls my crows feet "experiences". I got where I am one day at a time and that is simply fact. Some days were pur pleasure. Some days were pure hell. All left their story behind.
I think it bothers me because I feel "Is this all I've done my whole life?" I'm embarrassed to be where I am.
I had all these plans and I'm just disappointed in myself.
I'm still working and I really don't mind that but I had some plans for this year that did not materialize.
My husband and I are both self employed. Two different businesses. 2021 was a good year for me and I need 2 more years like that. I need to hang in there to do that.
We both need to stay relevant and not turn out to be grouchy, bitter people which we are not. I try to be positive all day long and then at night, I think too much.
Oh, well, age does bother me. I do not want to be irrelevant.
We were at a restaurant one day (5 PM ish) and I heard a lady say to the hostess "Are you going to make us sit way in the back? So no one sees us?" We go to this place a lot and have not been treated like that but I could understand her frustration. Lots of tables more up front.
One of my sisters will always say after a person is mentioned "How old is she? Oh, she's MY age...or I can't believe she's that old" Like, since she knows how old this person, forget hanging about with her.
I hate that. Sometimes, you have to look under the cover.
