Let's say you didn't have access to your birth certificate.

Your parents actually said, sorry, we can't actually remember how old you are.

How would you figure that out?

We're actually not your parents.

And this is known as subjective age.

And there's a physical feeling, there's also this mental feeling.

So how do we assign that?

And actually after the age of 40, most people feel about 20% younger than their actual age.

And so I don't know if it's deceptive, but you know, if you're 70, you know, we just turned 50 and I'm like, wow, that sounds old.

Because I feel about 40, 40 seemed more recent, but yeah, I can see some things.

But as you get further along, it's like, gosh, I'm in this age group.

Am I supposed to do this now or behave like that?

But my parents are different than I was.

And so I think it's interesting.

It's also interesting that that subjective age is a better predictor of how long you'll live than your biological age.

Yeah.

So, you know, you go to the doctor and you're told like, so give me how old are you?

Well, that all of a sudden it's like, well, I guess I should behave like a 75 year old or an 80 year old.

You're not going to, the doctor is not going to say, how old do you feel?

And in some ways people do feel their age.
