I Feel So Much Younger than My Age. How about You?
Why working from home is the perfect opportunity for “reverse aging.” At least, it has been for me.
Age is a funny thing.
You often hear that it’s becoming less important. Age categories are blurring. Opportunities and expectations are no longer age specific.
But I am not so sure. The “older” I get, the more I notice instances of age discrimination. Sometimes subtle or hidden, sometimes obvious.
I heard a conversation on the radio the other day between the host and one of his listeners about TikTok music trends. When the host realized that he was talking to a middle-aged man, he acted surprised:
“This is fantastic. Everyone is welcome on this show. I love it when older people call.”
Or the remark I received when I wanted to join my younger colleagues for lunch:
“Sure. But we are discussing the best Netflix shows of last year.”
Ouch. What do they think I am?
But I understand these reactions. When you get older and time passes, your priorities, interests, and expectations naturally change as well.
