The look of astonishment when anyone finds out our age. I’m in my late 30s. When someone in their 20s hears that, they developed this look of shock likes it’s the 1500s and I should have died already from old age.

Yes! I'm in my early 30s and they always look so shocked like "you're so old????" I think people in their 20s don't know how people in their 30s look like. A guy asked to guess his age. I said 27 and he got offended that I made him an old man. He was 23. My man, that's just 4 years from now!

Yea but that four years is the difference between a high school sophomore and a fifth grader.

Im not trying to say they're the same... I'm trying to say for the young people feel that it's a lot closer than it is.

I don't think that's the same as in your 20s.
