@divegeester saidThat's more accurate than many realize. Generally speaking, when one is in their teens and 20's they tend to worry about what others think of them. When they get into their 40's they usually get tired of worrying about what others think of them. When they get into their 60's they find out other people were not thinking about them to begin with, they were thinking about their favorite subject - themselves.
No one cares?

Sounds like you have done some comprehensive research on this.
@divegeester saidA personal reflection + conversations with many of my friends and former classmates at each of those stages of our lives.
A personal reflection of how you felt at those ages, and not a “general” observation then?
@mchill saidVery accurate!
