If only someone had told us that earlier… According to a study carried out in the Psychological Bulletin was published, we become more and more self-confident as we grow older. We don’t reach our peak at 30, nor at 40 or 50. No, we’re not really happy with ourselves until we’re 60. To be honest, that suits us quite well in terms of time, because we really have a few years later Time to unashamedly flaunt our imperfect plauze in a bikini. In addition, the children are definitely out of the house and nobody has to be ashamed of us when we suddenly rediscover our ballerina tutus in the attic, want to take our Buffalos from the 90s for a walk again or find joy in the male gender in all its to imitate beauty. You don’t know what kind of hobbies you have.
The best comes last
In any case, envious looks at the dent-free and wrinkle-free youth are completely meaningless, because according to the study, despite all their immaculateness, they have the biggest problem with themselves . After that, our self-esteem only decreases again when our health and our independence decrease. But honestly, that doesn’t really matter. When things go downhill for us at some point, at least we had a good time beforehand and felt great about it, even if we were embarrassed. So anyone who thinks that the greatest treasures of memory are hidden in the treasure chest from youth has not the slightest idea what is to come. It gets really fun at 60. We’re already looking forward to the souvenir box that we’ll pack then!
