Bored Panda wanted to get to grips with the fact that some people are shocked when they slow down and suddenly realize how old they actually are. Dr. Castel, from UCLA, shared his thoughts on this.

"It can sometimes come as a surprise when we notice some effects of aging, and often this coincides with life events such as having children, grey hairs, or the need to go to bed earlier," he told us via email.

"However, we can also interpret these changes as important milestones and stages in life that we adapt to (and enjoy) by focusing on what is most important, such as family, friends, staying active, and being involved in what interests us the most, especially when we become more aware that time is limited," the psychology professor said.

In the meantime, we wanted to get the professor's thoughts on why some people may have a slightly warped perception of time, e.g. believing that the year 2000 was merely 10 years ago or being unable to fathom how it's already 2023 (hi!).

"It can often feel that time passes quickly, and that many older adults might remember dated events as feeling more recent," Dr. Castel, the author of 'Better with Age,' told us.

"This shows that our sense of time isn't always linear, and this might be because our memory provides a biased representation of the past," he explained.

"Sometimes more memorable life events become better consolidated and frequently retrieved, making them feel like they were not that long ago."

Choice-Valuable313 Report

No matter what anyone tells you, age really is just a number. What matters isn’t how many years you’ve lived but how you’ve lived them. With courage and curiosity? Passion and purpose? Energy and drive? It doesn’t matter that the younger generations think Nirvana and Harry Potter are ‘old as dirt’ when you’re having the time of your life.

But if you’re filled with regret, well, we genuinely believe that it’s never too late to learn something new, chase your dreams, and live to the fullest.

But in order to do all of that, it only makes sense to take good care of yourself. You’ve got to get the basic healthy habits right. Including getting enough sleep, drinking lots of water throughout the day, eating healthy and nutritious food, and moving a lot throughout the week. On top of that, it’s best to avoid smoking and drinking alcohol. And if you want your skin to look young, you’d best become fast friends with sunscreen.

Smells Like A Midlife Crisis

However, the physical side of your body is only a part of living a healthy, happy, and long life. You’ve also got to take good care of your mental health. That means spending time in nature and meditating to unwind, getting in touch with a therapist to help you work through your issues, and generally creating a good work/life balance.

Not only that, but you’ve got to strive for a fulfilling career. Work is an important factor in our lives, so it only makes sense to do what we find purposeful and meaningful. If we’re constantly exhausted and feeling like we’re not making the world a better place or what we’re doing doesn’t matter, it will only have negative effects on our well-being. Career aside, don’t forget your hobbies, whether they’re physically active, entirely social, or meant to keep your mind sharp.

The key thing to remember is that nobody is an island. We’re all social animals, and we need relationships to thrive and survive. Loneliness is as bad for our health as smoking nearly a pack a day.

A massive 85-year Harvard study found that it’s not our careers, exercise, diets, or massive amounts of money that truly make us happy in life. Instead, it’s positive relationships that help us live longer and make us not just happier, but healthier, too.

My formal education, however, is focused on politics, philosophy, and economics because I've always been curious about the gap between the ideal and the real. At work, I'm a Senior Writer and I cover a broad range of topics that I'm passionate about: from psychology and changes in work culture to healthy living, relationships, and design. In my spare time, I'm an avid hiker and reader, enjoy writing short stories, and love to doodle. I thrive when I'm outdoors, going on small adventures in nature. However, you can also find me enjoying a big mug of coffee with a good book (or ten) and entertaining friends with fantasy tabletop games and sci-fi movies.

The first time someone skipped "Do you have kids?" and went straight to "Do you have grandkids?" When I had to explain to a co-worker what "The Love Boat" was. Listening to the little crackly sounds my knees make when I stand up.

People in their 20s and 30s and 40s are not old as hell. Yes, you've been alive for these many years, but that's normal. Maybe Full House was 40 years ago, but you grew up with it. So did I. Just accept your age and maybe more posts about what wisdom comes with age.

let this be a lesson, youngsters: 1. time pancakes when you get older: what seems like 5 years was actually 15- 20 years ago. 2. time pancakes when you get older: years go by in the blink of an eye. 3. because time pancakes when you get older, take your time when you're young. Don't rush growing up. it'll rush at you soon enough. love, Jess, who has tattoos, piercings, colorful hair, and is 46 in 2023.

The Problem With Censorship Is ******* 1 year ago

I've felt old on several occasions (however, this is an enjoyable thing for me as I've always sucked at being young, never liked it), but as it so happens I had a pretty strong moment yesterday. I discovered a radio station that plays 90's hits only, and after listening for a while this really strong feeling/emotion came over me. It was a feeling of "THIS is my world, my time, and kids need to stay out of this world because they won't "feel" it". Sure, I got a mild case of that feeling before when a certain song came on somewhere, but hearing all these familiar old hits together, the whole "sound", it just felt natural, like coming home. O____O And I didn't even like most of those songs when they were a hit back then! I'm 36 by the way.

Wanna feel old? Ride the bus. Overheard some kids talking about old movies with a young Will Smith. Got wide eyes when I explained that before a walkman with CD there was one with a casette and very much coveted. He prided himself on knowing about the old ways... A youngster going through all the consoles he had in his life and finally at about 15-16 he got the good one and I was thinking that at that age we were going bonkers over pong...

Remembering feeling old when Robert Englund played a nice character and people say it is weird to see Freddy being nice, while I thought it was weird seeing Willie as evil when first Elm Street movie came. And people then "who is Robert Englund", and now "who is Freddy". And probably way too many reading this, "who is Willie".

Just for context, people who are around 20 now will all go through these kinds of things when you're 50 or 60. Conversely, everyone who's over 50 used to be your age at one time.
