Worst thing we ever did was give everyone a camera.

I started working for Walmart at age 56. I just retired. I worked there nearly 19 years. I’ll be 75 in August.
Around the time I was 60, or a little more, I was on a register helping a young man check out. Before he left he said, I just have to say that you’re very beautiful. I was dumbfounded…
I spluttered and said something stupid. I’m old enough to be your grandmother. He smiled and said, Even if that’s true, it doesn’t change the fact that I think you’re beautiful.
I gathered my wits sufficiently to say thank you.
I had become so accustomed to being invisible. To only get the qualified compliment….for your age.
That day I received a golden nugget to relive…. I wasn’t invisible and probably never was….
Thank you for a wonderful video!💛

When I was a teenager I thought my teachers looked so old - and some were women in their twenties! I recently opened my high school yearbook for the first time in decades, and was shocked by how much younger they looked than I remember them. Everybody over twenty looks ancient when you're a teenager.

I’m going to be 80 this summer. I’ve had a great life and have had many experiences. I recovered from a stroke in my early seventies and I’m just so happy to be alive and well. My hair is now white and I have lots of laugh lines. These show that I’ve lived a good life. Don’t sweat the small things.

The best thing about getting into my fifties and now sixties is....the freedom of not caring what others think about anything LOL....

[sikay]

My cousin just passed away at 59 after her three year battle with cancer, two weeks later my brother who just turned 53 passed away after taking his own life. So… enjoy the ride while you can people, your body is just a vessel and this life is short, one is SO lucky to grow old. Be Thankful for Every Moment.

When I was a teenager all we cared about was partying and having fun, music concerts and hanging out, and if anything, we wanted to look OLDER. So glad I grew up without internet.

Actual young people are so obsessed with apparence, it will be so hard for them to age...

[itsmejusefine]

Actually I think that the Gen-Z are looking older than they are because they are already doing all the fillers that "older" women/men are doing🤭

A 50yo here 👋 reminding herself every day that “Comparison is the thief of joy” Roosevelt . Thank you for this video Charlotte 😊

I am 22 years old, part of Gen Z. Worked a lot of retail/food service and many of my coworkers were in their 40s, 50s, and 60s. As an esthetician, most of my clients are over 40. People age so differently yet remain beautiful. I hear alot of negative self-talk from women who are older than me and it's sad. I always tell them, trust me I've seen many faces and you do in fact look your age, and many people have the same skin concerns, your skin is normal, and you look beautiful.

This whole comment sounds like virtue signaling but the purpose is really to show that we are not all doomed and that there is no point in having an us-vs-them mentality when it comes to age. The generation war hurts us all in the end. Ageism and filters destroy us all. For every young girl who asks me what to do about her "too big" pores, there is a old woman who says there is no hope for her skin, as if her appearance is a lost cause.

Besides, my young ass will be a old ass one day. Why would I say mean things about my future self?

[bevyoung]

I am over 60, and I am thankful for my age.

[Dzanarika]

That is exactly why people need to get off the social media and start living in their own reality.

[angelabenigno]

I’m 53 and my body and skin are not the same as at the age of 20, of course, but I feel more feminine and beautiful than ever. I forgave myself for not being perfect and feel better about how I really am

[mcspankie]

Im in my 30's, when I was the age of gen Z I didn't even think about looking younger or what older people looked like. Crazy how twisted its gotten

[Ruth-xtjs]

I’m 27. One thing I find really heartbreaking is the genre of post that goes something like “I’ve trained myself not to move my face/eyebrows/forehead when I laugh or speak so that I don’t get wrinkles.” It is so evil that this obsession with looking young is making women not want to laugh, smile, or emote. I will not give up expressing my joy for the next 60+ years to avoid looking “old”

[Venusx]

I'm 61 and ageing gracefully is SO liberating. I look after my skin with inexpensive skincare, eat decent food, don't smoke or drink, still wear a small amount of makeup everyday, dress well, love nature and walk regularly and never been so happy in my own skin. We all need to embrace and learn to love ourselves instead of comparing and being brainwashed into self loathing....that's freedom x

[nosferatucreations]

Aging is crap on a physical level but on a psychological level, I've never be so strong.

[TaraK]

My mom is 70 and she is so obsessed with being told she looks younger than she is. I find it sad that she cares about her face so much but not her actual health.

[sydneywhite]

Golden Girls dealt with this issue forty years ago; the success of the show proved that older women could be perfectly successful in leading roles and the show still holds up today. They even did an episode on ageism in season 5 ("Rose Fights Back")
