The most painful thing about watching a parent age isn't the physical decline. It's the moment you catch them deferring to you on a decision they would have made without hesitation ten years ago, and you both feel the transfer of authority that neither of you agreed to. - Silicon Canals

Psychology

Research suggests the likeability drop that many people experience after 60 correlates almost perfectly with an increase in self-reported life satisfaction - which means the trade most people make without realizing it is that they exchange social approval for internal alignment, and the people who notice you've changed are almost always the ones who preferred the version of you that prioritized their comfort over your truth - Silicon Canals

Life satisfaction increases after 60 as people care less about others' approval and embrace personal freedom.
