When you are picking up your phone to take a picture and the lens has accidentally turned towards you and you unexpectedly see yourself........what is your immediate thought?
(I immediately recoil and think "oh my God" and then look closer...thinking "is that what I really look like"?) Shocks me very time...
Ditto! Not happy when the phone flips around to selfie mode either, Jabba the Hut and more chins than the chinese phone book spring to mind! 😱
But then again I've always been taken aback when I see photos of myself, probably because what we see in the mirror is not what others see (well, apart from the hairdresser!) 🤭
Reminds me of some of those memes "what you think you look like vs. reality"!
Not forgetting Celeste Barber's recreations of so-called celebrities "natural look" pics, LOL!
😅 😂 🤣
I say "WOW....look at that cool hat!! I gotta get me one of tho....." and then I realize it's me.
Fools me every time.
Don't fret folks.............everyone pictures themselves younger than they look........it's just one of the joys of growing old. It's why I hate going to class reunions. All those fun youthful kids are now old fat ugly people. We turned into "those old people" without even realizing it. I much prefer remembering everybody the old way.
Try recording your voice and see if you sound the way you think you sound. Another fun one. In some ways..........it's a good thing life is temporary. I just hope what's next is even better. Maybe we're 'born' as old people and get progressively younger! That way, as time went on things would just get better and better, rather than worse and worse. Try playing that one back in your mind!!

Age creeps up on you if you let it. A reaction to your portrait could be: 'Wow who is that attractive person.' It has been established that men and women can stay interested in each other till the age of 90! All of us know people who very good looking and active in their 70s. I have a much loved uncle who is 81 and goes all over the world with his girl friend. I always liked older women anyway. Cheers and best wishes.
Oh, it doesn't 'creep up' on you.........it rolls over your ass as soon as you turn your head! There's a reason our eyesight goes bad as we get older........we're just lucky "good looking" is a very relative term. Of course life can be enjoyed right up to the moment it ends, but that's because you're comparing it to the alternative. No sense worrying about it though.........it's simply how the game is played. So just sit back, relax and enjoy the ride.........as best you can!!

There are certain precautions you can take to prevent that nasty approaching you from the rear. Good looking is not a confusing term, either you are or you are not.
When this happens to me, I immediately think how thankful I am to have it and am able to live my life.
😅😅😅 yep!! Me too except since my ileostomy surgery a year ago September 4th I've lost 40lbs.. so that goes in my favor.
