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
