In your 20s you're worried about what everyone thinks of you. In your 30s you make it a point to not care what anyone thinks of you. In your 40s you realize that no one was thinking about you anyway. amirite?

Is that how it's supposed to go? I guess it depends for everyone but for me & my friends it was shifted down a decade; caring in our teens then not caring as much in the 20s and everything after that is a mix of knowing that no one cares and if they do then they must not have better things to do.

That sounds much more plausible as a timeline. If anything, I'd say shift that decade AND cut the interval in half. No way it takes until 30 to reach that point.

In my teens, depressed and thinking only of myself. In my 20s, depressed and thinking only of myself. In my 30s, depressed and thinking of myself. Who knows what 40s will bring! (hopefully some balls and a rope)

Sad way to think about things

by Anonymous 3 years ago

In your 20s, the worry exists because the others really think about you. In your 30s, you don't care because you think you may be too old for that. In your 40s, no one thinks about you because you are literally too old for them to care.

I'm 37, I have an amazing group of friends that I care very dearly for and we always seem to find time for each other. I also have my family that I love and I feel loves me. I don't think age has anything to do with it. I will always care about other people with boundaries and always love people because it's not about me even though my life is all about me.

This feels similar to the saying; When your young, you wanna be older, and when your older you wanna be younger. But where's the middle?

Everyone has their own problems and are too busy to give a damn about what you're doing. You might be the talk of the town for all of about 10 min and all will go back to normal. So do what makes you happy and screw everyone else's opinions.

I don't think my 35-year-old sister is going to like her 40s, if that bit is true. She believes everyone in our family thinks about her, when in reality, we don't.

Once I started not caring about what people think about me is when my life got better, which was in my early 30s.

For me, it worked this way: In my early teens, I worried about what everyone thinks about me. In my late teens, I decided not to care what anyone thinks about me. In my early 20s, I realized that no one was thinking about me anyway, but I was sad because adulting is hard and I hoped people are thinking about me in a positive way. In my late 20s, I realized that no one was thinking about me and I am fully responsible to design how I want my life to be.

Maybe I did it wrong, but so far what's happened to me is that I spent my 20's worried that nobody ever thinks of me and then in my 30's realizing that there are actually people who think of me and I should embrace them.
