@@WiseAdvice93 you are disgusting…maybe an elderly person masterbates…maybe not…but why is this where your mind goes?

As a 63 year old woman I feel invisible and that’s okay. It has brought a different kind of peace to my life. I no longer care what others think of me, as I have living my life. I’ve grown tired of wasting my energy on others who are caught up in their lives with no regard or desire to have me in their lives. I now own this energy and it brings joy into my life, no longer sadness or sorrow. It’s taken time to relearn what I find important in my life at this time in my life. I still love with all my heart and care very deeply for others, just have changed my relationship with myself. I am choosing to grow with grace and humility with a happy heart - regardless of what others think I should be. Sending love and light to all 🙏💜🦋 May your journey be beautifully yours
I am in total agreement with you my dear. I have earned the right to be free to be me. I also dress for comfort. If people do not like me for who I am. that is just fine. I am 75.

I will soon be 84…fairly fit, secure and busy enough. My primary need is to be useful, productive. I don’t expect to do significant …anything? I don’t know if I ever did … I just did all I could. I fear becoming a burden…wonder what people think of me…am critical of myself. But, rarely depressed. Still learning things. Hope , pray, looking to give whatever I have to give. I hope to do well each day…life is charity.
Concur completely! I have no desire to play that "how to be sucessful with people game." At this point, My relationship with God, is my primary focus; and keeping my Peace.
I am older and one problem (among several) that I have now is keeping up my appearance. I care how I look still but it has become a greater task to achieve as I get older and I find myself not wanting to go to the trouble sometimes. It takes work to maintain good and attractive appearance when you are growing older. I keep trying however.
Ive been a therapist for most of my adult life. What you are saying is true for therapists. But, as i age i have less patience for the "poor me" victim hood of our culture.
It's very sad that all older people are group into the same category. Younger people are just as guilty of these actions. As an older person I don't feel that I need another human being to tell me how to live. I feel that I can turn to the Divine Power within me for a greater knowledge that I can get from another human being.
So well said. I want to learn from previous generations by reading their books and learning history. History is often not important to the youthful, I find it more and more interesting and broadens my perspective. Also, the rat race in cities has become very unattractive. We get that others are busy, but money and being overly busy isn’t happiness.
Grace? I’m 64. I’ve done nothing but GIVE. I’m tired. Of. Giving. My best days are spent alone. I simply don’t care about aging gracefully. If I’m a burden, or in your opinion I’m not being gracious, YOU are welcome to walk away, as a matter of Fact, Please Feel Free to do so…
I agree there is NO short supply of useless leeches fake friends, takers and soulless users beggars galore are everywhere playing on good Samaritans and giving people, then abandoning them and trying to well cancel them as well.

Oh come on! People of all ages brag, don’t listen, neglect their appearance, etc. etc. I don’t see that older people doing any of these things anymore than anyone else. This is advice for people of all ages.
The way young people dress today and their horrible hairstyles make me look away. Especially the black lipstick and nail polish, body piercings and those young guys who think their bum crack is something to be proud of ...ugh!!!
The lack of patience very often brings about a downfall ... often literally ! Being patient with myself and others , and being present in the moment are helpful to me !😊😊
A few years back. Was at our state fair. While in an exhibit, a man started visiting. He was from Australia. He made an insightful observation about Americans by wondering why we ask what job people do rather than asking people do for fun. This does make sense and is true! What better way to learn about new people to ask this type of question!
These things are not just problems older people have. I’m 76 and after listening to many young people I get the impression they too have these issues but see themselves as the non-judgmental generation, while being very judgmental of the elderly.
. It's true that challenges like judgment and misunderstandings can affect all generations, not just older adults. It's so important for us to bridge these gaps and have open, respectful conversations.
Truth is...when you get older, you do not have the time, patience, or trust in others this late in life, to be building all of these deep and lasting relationships. Many of your friends are gone, dead, or have moved on away from you. Thinking you are going to build new relationships with younger people, is naive. And as to earning a young persons respect...nah...in old age we have played that game and it's old. We don't have to earn anything - especially from someone who has yet to face the trials and adversities we have. I get the rosy perspectives shared here, but it's not just real life.
Couldn't agree with you more!!! I've no longer got the time or patience for other people's opinions of me,my life,my appearance, etc. just concentrating on staying healthy and alive for as long as possible. The good thing about having older friends is that they appreciate you exactly as you are,you don't have to impress them.
You also discover that many of your "friends" were never friends, and you are better off keeping your distance from them or, better yet, terminating the friendship. My father used to say, "I am your only friend; the rest are just acquaintances," which was true. It's too bad that I thought I knew everything and never acknowledged this wisdom.
I'm 76 and lost my husband of 40 years 10 years ago. Since losing him I also have lost 3 childhood friends, a cousin I loved dearly and I now see the several other friends are showing cognitive decline. SUCKS.
😓My deepest condolences to you. My hubby passed nearly 10 years ago also. Within 3 years of his death, my favorite brother, his wife and their only son (my nephew) also died; along with 3 good friends. I’m still reeling with grief. I make a conscious choice each and every day to not unalive myself. It really is a conscious choice. 😅 ST;LL HERE 🙏🏼
While it sucks losing your friends to death--I’ve lost all but one family member and one close friend--you’re not dead yet. The worst thing to do is to prolong mourning to the point you’re paralyzed. Get out of the house. Interact with others if only on a superficial level at first. Join a church or synagogue or mosque or temple. If you stay around, people will eventually have to speak to you! Take the initiative. Casually comment, “Father’s homily was particularly interesting.” Or, Rabbi Goldman makes Torah easy to understand.” Or, “I see you here every morning. Starting the day with prayer sets the tone for the rest of the day. Do you feel the same way?” Or, “It’s so encouraging to see young people enthusiastic about God!”
I'm sorry for your losses. Most of the time during the week I feel isolated and alone. My husband gone a lot. My dog is here for me and I talk to God and Jesus as my very best friends. It helps a lot but yes we have a desire for human "real" friends and communication. I'm 68.
I was raised in the 60’s and 70’s. My parents taught us to respect adults and authority. Well at 17 when I got my first serious job, I learned to give respect to people who deserved it and definitely not because of someone just being older than me. Took a couple months of working before I understood that. But I am respectful to all people who deserve it and I judge people from my own experience with them, not what someone else’s opinion is of them.
older people are not perfect. you don't have to judge anything. Just respect sometimes by keeping silent. Time will teach you. be an honourable person. you may even see their decline. remember, as you age you will see a decline in yourself, in different aspects. It's much deeper, but time will teach and correct you.
@@jamesclarke3248 my point of judging on my own is because I’ve found that just because someone bad mouths another doesn’t necessarily mean I’m going to have the same opinion of them. I’ve come across too many people that I’ve worked with that other people couldn’t stand for what ever reason and I liked the person that was bad mouthed about. I do listen to what they say but then I make my own choice of how I like or dislike the person. I’m not judging anyone I’m making mind up of how I can tolerate them if they happen to be hard to deal with.
I think I have more patience than ever. I enjoy being 67,love living alone, love my own company. I love to listen to the young people and have great nephews that I adore and every minute is all about them. I think I am a better, more compassionate, a better listener, a better mom and Nana. I don’t have time for a long relationship, I enjoy the ones I have now
To your first point…I’m 57 and I feel like I’m too old to be young and too young to be old. I listen to more elderly people because they always have interesting things to say about life. In China, the elderly are treated as the most important in the family and respected by society in general. It seems that the West is the worst.
I think it’s interesting that these suggestions are targeted to older people. I see people of all ages that would be “guilty” of some of the charges this narrator makes of older people.
Once you hit a certain age, I think the poem" Warning," by Jenny Joseph, excerpted below is appropriate: "When I am an old woman I shall wear purple With a red hat which doesn’t go, and doesn’t suit me. And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves And satin sandals, and say we’ve no money for butter. I shall sit down on the pavement when I’m tired And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells And run my stick along the public railings And make up for the sobriety of my youth. I shall go out in my slippers in the rain And pick flowers in other people’s gardens And learn to spit."
A favorite. AND … I once belonged to the “Red Hat Society” and the women I met there were some of the most entitled ugly people I’ve ever known. They did a lot of the stuff this video tells us NOT to do. …I was under 50 yo when I joined. I learned from these women how not to be as I got older. It was a good lesson. 🙏🏼
Some of those behaviors listed in this famous poem I have seen on older people who ended up being declared incompetent, removed from reality and deemed incapable of looking after themselves. Ended up being committed by their families and their doctors to nursing homes. Be careful in your unconformity. This poem and The Red Hat Movement was directed at and appealed to women who were dominated and tightly controlled, unable to make their own decisions by dominating, abusive husbands or families. Once these women escaped their controllers, were on their own and experienced freedom, they tended to act out a little crazy at first. Of course, you can't blame them.
Don't get like your mother. Never stop eyeing up the opposite sex. Wear up to date clothes. Be voracious of knowledge. Tell your story before it is too late. Make a will, according to people's just deserts, not convention. Look forward, never back. Don't be too proud to ask for help. Stay up late and get up when you want to. Pass on your knowledge whenever you can. Be receptive of new ideas and discriminating about old ones. ENJOY LIFE!
I am too busy working as a nurse and teaching nursing classes…I donate my pay because I can get by without it, I babysit my grand baby frequently, sew, knit and read…grow a garden. I am sorry I have had the f-ing audacity to have lived for more than 70 years, sorry I ever bored some one by sharing things from my past or things I have learned, sorry I can tell time on an analogue clock and write in cursive…As quickly as I can I will self destruct to make room for a more worthwhile human
I refuse to bend to the opinions of others. The points in this video are telling seasoned people to shut up and become invisible. How convenient for the younger generations! I’ve earned my right to just be me, at last.
I agree! I refuse to be put in the category of "elderly & useless". I'm a "senior human being" with knowledge, wisdom & experience. I fell down, but got back up & continued my day!! I'm so sick of society portraying older people as silly, useless & "elderly"! I mow my own lawn, trim my trees & bushes, do my own house work, and even fixed my flat tire in driveway with Flex Tape & Elmer's glue! I can improvise, adapt & overcome when necessary. I refuse to be "invisible", too! PS: I'm 72!
@@Hummingbird9941 I would be curious about what's causing it. That sounds like a huge change for him. For me it's mainly about losing my sight and being financially taken advantage of by people I thought were my friends but are now destroying me psychologically.
@@victoryamartin9773 The end of a working career isn't just a financial loss ... it means you aren't bound by workplace conventions any more ... No need to be freshly washed and dressed and travel to a designated place ! It's a huge loss unless it's replaced by another routine !😮😮
@@victoryamartin9773 I am so very sorry that is happening to you. You deserve so much better. I hope someone will show up to help you. Shame on those who are taking advantage. As I have aged, I too, have been taken advantage of. I never dreamed that anyone could be so awful! The person who created this video makes older people sound like terrible, self-centered folks. We are not the bad ones. Instead, it is those who mistreat us.
Everyone is watching the video, even though I don't know who you are, I would like to send all the best wishes to you. A video with lots of useful information
I am 64. I have faced lot s of challenges even the trauma of losing a grown up married son,still I appreciate the you advised to spend rest of my life understanding and loving my son and two daughters in law.
In some cultures when the elder speaks, the youth listens now we are supposed to listen to the children which have never suffered any hard times and are glued to their phones. Do you think that they even listen?
No they cannot and they do not even want work they want everything given to them and want to be Millionaires at age 30. They only care about how many followers they have on RUclips, instagram and TikTok.
I agree about the forgiveness section. Often we forgive AND have to move on and let that person go from our lives. Often a person no longer serves our happiness, and we find that the relationship no longer feeds positive energy to either person. We are tired- I have read that a lot here. So, we are tired of being kind and wanting the hypothetical relationship that never happened…. wanting to have a relationship that we finally accept is not productive and reciprocal.
Good stuff! Thank you! As I was getting into my 60s, I‘ve been very vigilant about not harboring or practicing any of those traits myself. That’s because, for as long as I can remember, I never enjoyed being around older folks who did. Now, if only I can get my contemporaries to shut up about how times they were in are much better than the times around them now. Especially as they weren’t necessarily so.
I am in my 60s and enjoy spending time with people from different generations. We can learn from others and may energize you. Sometimes it allows me to think about what I/we were like at a younger stage and be patient as the younger people grow.
At 74 and just getting “warmed-up” for the next 20 years I enjoyed the comments the most. Remember there are 3 Ages: Your Chronological Age; your REAL AGE, how you taken care of yourself (lifestyle); and the AGE you think you are. There is one of these three that has NO RELEVANCE. Which one is the MOST IMPORTANT?
At my age I find everyone is usually just blabbing and in reality Nobody gives a shite about you anyway. Engrossed in themselves and their own life. Feels better to just stay home and have peace.
These mentioned rude habits could be any age group. I feel the article encourages disrespect foe the elderly. Basically it is saying, put your old people in the corner or nursing home. Don't let them talk or have an opinion. Totally encourages abuse and neglect. Young people the day Will come when your voice will be silenced. Don't disrespect the elderly..
I think images of first impression are very important. Our world is careless. Every time I go to Walmart I freak out. I really appreciated my parents and grandparents dressed respectively. And I always thought they were idols to me. : )
I'm 63. I always say to my friends, " I don't want to be a dirty old person". I make sure I'm clean and I'm dressed. I get it though. So easy to become complaiscent.
As someone heading into my senior years, this is the best advice I have heard. I have even saved it so I can remind myself from time to time. Thank you
OMG, this is so common. 😢 My mother did, also. Now, at 65 yo, I’ve already broken the chain of abuse. It’s taken a hella lot of inner work, and it’s been worth it. Blessings to you. 🙏🏼
My father used to get annoyed, struggling to communicate with an elderly aunt who refused to wear a hearing aid. Now he refuses to wear one because " he's not at that stage yet " and ignores everyone's frustration when we have to repeat everything several times for him!
@@ghound-md5eyMy mother now passed over claimed that she couldn't understand what was being said in a crowd only when one to one with somebody. She had a hearing aid fitted but refused to wear it. Said when her hair grew longer but hated her hair long! She had every excuse not to use them. She had not charged the batteries was the usual excuse but also said I don't know why they gave me these. So it carried on like that and they never got used.
I'm 63 . About 30 years ago I learned this --- what others think of me is NONE of MY BUSINESS !! I do take great pride in my appearance but I do it strictly to please myself .
Well, I have thought a lot of this of late. When you are in constant pain navigating grocery stores and Walmart, it’s a struggle in every way possible. I really want to concur this. Good video!
"You never get a second chance to make a good first impression". That applies to all ages. I can identify many older people I know who practise all or a combination of these bad habits. People will gradually avoid them or ignore them and they become isolated and lonely. It's important for us to remember to remain humble, remember our manners, not take ourselves and life too seriously and practise The Golden Rule which we were taught in Kindergarten. Keeps us Old Fogies interesting and environmentally friendly.
While there are some good points in the video, I found the maximum enjoyment in the small mistakes (or not so small) in the AI (artificial intelligence) generated pictures. Missing legs, levitating coffee cups, mispellings and more. I probably woke my husband up from laughing out loud. I don't know what AI is going to do to our future, but right now it's pretty darn funny. P.S. If you are older, and maybe fearful about the future, I think you will find there are people that will care about you. My husband and I play music in assisted living and nursing homes, and we love them as we entertain them. Love those around you, and accept the love they will give you.
No 1 of your alternatives. Well conceived and presented objectively . Most people would like to re - live ONLY , the glory of past and miss the present and what other ( still ) greatness lies in the front . One of the Best methods to enjoy all 3 ( past , present , future ) is to allocate times of the day to live all 3 . In my experience , I allocate late evening and bed time ( after dinner ) to “ Past “ glories & reminiscences, to allocate mornings to live the “Present” ( say breakfast to lunch times ) and to allocate time for “Future” “”expectations to tea times & evenings ( walking or with friends etc ) and you get the Greatness of all 3 Times . TRY IT .
You have valid points but you are overlooking the fact that many seniors are completely disregarded and ignored. Seniors are often judged by others as being insignificant. Your advice also applies to younger folks particularly those in customer service positions. Share your advice thoughts with others who are younger. As for caring for appearance do you have idea how much pain some of our seniors experience? Living on fixed income often makes seniors choose between medications or new clothes and beauty shops. As for respect from younger folks that is a laugh out loud comment. Many seniors feel shame from the effects of aging. I take your comments with a huge grain of salt.
I’m 73 and don’t have that much to add to s conversation. Keep your mouth shut and people may think you’re a fool. Open your mouth and remove all doubt. I don’t have anything to boast about. I never pre-judge people. Listen and you might be surprised. Schedule a visit to the salon regularly. Get your hair done, your nails manicured, Gents, take a shower! Use deodorant or deodorant soap. DO NOT TRY TO REPLACE HYGIENE WITH PERFUME OR POWDER! Go easy on the scents. We older folks tend to lose our sense of smell. Don’t stink up the room with our scent. Smell of freshly bathed person, not body spray. Try changes. Even if you decide to stick with your old ways, at least you’ve tried. Try out new things, take a class, if you can’t play sports, go cheer others on. Get out once a day, even if it’s just outside your house or sitting by a window. Like your memories, turn them into art or a book or storytelling.
I love life and live it to the best of my ability. I will also be happy when my creator calls me back home on my expiry date. "Waiting for God was a very good series on tv" It was realist and a reminder of where our eventually destination is.
I think this video is very helpful. It reminds me to be thoughtful in spite of the challenges to health, love and economy that comes with aging. Each of us, regardless of age, will experience a healthier, happier, less stressful life if we breathe, slow down, and look within. By the way: I recently celebrated my 76th birthday, which gives me pause, in more ways than I would have anticipated. 😉
I don’t share my knowledge anymore and in turn I don’t listen to people whining about their families, kids and medical conditions. They never reciprocate. If it’s family they sure want to talk if they’re in need of my money though. People are so divided over everything anymore I don’t even bother dating as most of them I’ve come across have drinking problems. I’m a happy 61 year old who enjoys my own company. I have 3-4 friends I regularly share meals with but I attend theater plays and concerts by myself as no one is interested in the same things I am. It’s just the way it is.
Elders really do have wisdom from experience. Whereas some of your suggestions are helpful, I personally think many young people need these lessons of patiently listening as they can be full of themselves as well.
At the age of 70 I needed to hear this… I have been aware of the changes I need to make, yet struggle with many of these things. I notice you did not mention how as we age, regardless of our persistence in being active and involved, we often become invisible. Our soft voices, and learned behaviors of allowing others to speak over us, not interrupt, etc make is “invisible” and often, excluded. And LONELINESS!!! We spend so much time either totally alone (due to disability) that when we finally DO get a chance to engage, it’s been so long since we’ve heard anything except for a “mechanical” TV or radio voice - or for that matter, opened our own mouths to use our own voice, that when the opportunity presents itself, we “over share” are considered “dominating” the conversation and/or the language that we learned/used in our era is no longer “acceptable”. Just saying (of course in too many words, because I am alone and lonely and no one cares anymore what I think or say anyway. And just FYI - I was a powerful, vibrant, admired, intelligent practicing professional - and yet….
It's true, as we get older, we sometimes expect respect without realizing that respect is earned. I’ve found that showing kindness and being open to others’ experiences, no matter their age, brings real connection. A little humility goes a long way.
Many things are worth while listening to -however this is way too long! The beginning is interesting and something to pay attention to however after a while I get the feeling I am being lectured by someone that is half my age.
So, 1. Don't share what worked for you. 2. Don't brag about your success; someone in the group may be poor and needy. 3. First impressions aren't true or real. We all have masks. 4. Dress up-be pretty/handsome! 6. Old age no longer brings respect of elders. You are no longer relevant. Show respect for the younger, smarter Generation. 7. Forgive everyone anything. It is over. Don't write anything! It can be used against you Years later. 8. The old way/your way has to change! It is not better. Adapt! 10. Ignore it when someone hurts ypur feelings; they don't count anymore. At age 83 this is what was said. Har har :)) You're no longer relevant. 7.
So I guess at my age of 75, I just need to sit down and shut up and all will be good. All these rules are why I choose to be alone with family. We all talk over one another and dress for comfort. Our conversations are not a business meeting.
Wow, that part at 15:26 was absolutely mind-blowing! 😮We should avoid judging people based on first impressions. Everyone has a unique story, and we should take the time to get to know people on a deeper level. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
The photos in this are beautiful. This is valuable information. I would add that the world is overstimulating now due to so many people and cars and sounds ( music) . Often that’s why I stay home so much and avoid leaving my neighborhood .
Thank you so much for sharing this material! It has opened my eyes to mistakes I have been making and inspired me to live more wisely. Very timely advice!
1) Don’t constantly dominate every conversation. Limit talk. Listening is a form of generosity. 🤩 I’ve kicked people out of my life who can’t ever shut up. Yes, all are old women. 🤦♀️
Many older people hog the conversation and babble endlessly about their children and grandchildren. You can't get a word in, and they resist if you try to move on to another topic. They are unaware of current events, don't read books, have no other interests or hobbies, and are unable to have an intelligent conversation about any other subject matter. These people are very tiresome to be around and quickly lose their sympathetic audience.
#1, Generally speaking, men, young and old , tend to dominate conversations, women generally have always given others space to speak and been better at active listening. #2, Bragging, ditto , women don't generally have a boasting problem :)
Sometimes people feel compelled to entertain or fill in gaps in the conversation. My husband does this and I keep asking him to encourage others to talk. He’s not narcissistic, just annoying.
Very nice teaching; with every point being an important aspect to hear to maintain peace of mind and it is made clear that we can always experience great cheer. Freedom!
Understanding others is 'simple': If you had started in the same state they did and experienced exactly what they have in their life, you'd be exactly in their condition and state of mind. Judgmentalism helps no one.
This is great. I think I'm pretty good with these things, but it is helpful to be reminded, and to hear someone else's thoughts. Always learn something that will help. Thank you! Best regards to all fellow seniors - and those who will one day be. Listened to it at 2x speed. I like the old guy in #6 "Letting go of grudges," sitting outside with a doobie. Right on!
These maxims that you elaborate on do not just apply in old age but are truisms any time through life. One gets into paradigms while some are beneficial others are detrimental. It is important to self-reflect to understand oneself & the relationships with others as an ongoing process in the journey of life. As Ralph Waldo Emerson said "life is a journey not a destination"! Interesting & insightful video!
People don't pay much attention to older people , but simple life skills advice to young Men 🌹 is needed , and is free to give a few major pointers . Like Needs goals, saving money 💸 etc .

As a 63 year old woman I feel invisible and that’s okay. It has brought a different kind of peace to my life. I no longer care what others think of me, as I have living my life. I’ve grown tired of wasting my energy on others who are caught up in their lives with no regard or desire to have me in their lives. I now own this energy and it brings joy into my life, no longer sadness or sorrow. It’s taken time to relearn what I find important in my life at this time in my life. I still love with all my heart and care very deeply for others, just have changed my relationship with myself. I am choosing to grow with grace and humility with a happy heart - regardless of what others think I should be. Sending love and light to all 🙏💜🦋 May your journey be beautifully yours

I am older and one problem (among several) that I have now is keeping up my appearance. I care how I look still but it has become a greater task to achieve as I get older and I find myself not wanting to go to the trouble sometimes. It takes work to maintain good and attractive appearance when you are growing older. I keep trying however.

It's very sad that all older people are group into the same category. Younger people are just as guilty of these actions. As an older person I don't feel that I need another human being to tell me how to live. I feel that I can turn to the Divine Power within me for a greater knowledge that I can get from another human being.

@@WiseAdvice93. The poster makes. Lot of sense. They spoke how I feel too.
So well said. I want to learn from previous generations by reading their books and learning history. History is often not important to the youthful, I find it more and more interesting and broadens my perspective. Also, the rat race in cities has become very unattractive. We get that others are busy, but money and being overly busy isn’t happiness.

A few years back. Was at our state fair. While in an exhibit, a man started visiting. He was from Australia. He made an insightful observation about Americans by wondering why we ask what job people do rather than asking people do for fun. This does make sense and is true! What better way to learn about new people to ask this type of question!
Your sharing is wonderful!
Thank you very much ❤❤❤
These things are not just problems older people have. I’m 76 and after listening to many young people I get the impression they too have these issues but see themselves as the non-judgmental generation, while being very judgmental of the elderly.
Your sharing is wonderful, thank you very much
Amen!
. It's true that challenges like judgment and misunderstandings can affect all generations, not just older adults. It's so important for us to bridge these gaps and have open, respectful conversations.
Truth is...when you get older, you do not have the time, patience, or trust in others this late in life, to be building all of these deep and lasting relationships. Many of your friends are gone, dead, or have moved on away from you. Thinking you are going to build new relationships with younger people, is naive. And as to earning a young persons respect...nah...in old age we have played that game and it's old. We don't have to earn anything - especially from someone who has yet to face the trials and adversities we have. I get the rosy perspectives shared here, but it's not just real life.
Your sharing is wonderful, thank you very much
J'ai bientôt 70 ans et suis amplement d'accord avec ce que vous affirmez 😊!!! La vie sociale se réduit avec l'âge !
True❤
Couldn't agree with you more!!! I've no longer got the time or patience for other people's opinions of me,my life,my appearance, etc. just concentrating on staying healthy and alive for as long as possible. The good thing about having older friends is that they appreciate you exactly as you are,you don't have to impress them.
You also discover that many of your "friends" were never friends, and you are better off keeping your distance from them or, better yet, terminating the friendship. My father used to say, "I am your only friend; the rest are just acquaintances," which was true. It's too bad that I thought I knew everything and never acknowledged this wisdom.
We spend our life doing things for others, but we never take the time to give ourselves the love we give others

I'm 76 and lost my husband of 40 years 10 years ago. Since losing him I also have lost 3 childhood friends, a cousin I loved dearly and I now see the several other friends are showing cognitive decline. SUCKS.
😓My deepest condolences to you. My hubby passed nearly 10 years ago also. Within 3 years of his death, my favorite brother, his wife and their only son (my nephew) also died; along with 3 good friends. I’m still reeling with grief. I make a conscious choice each and every day to not unalive myself. It really is a conscious choice. 😅 ST;LL HERE 🙏🏼
Your sharing is wonderful, thank you very much
I’m so sorry for your troubles. My mother is also suffering the loss of my dad and most of her friends are gone.
While it sucks losing your friends to death--I’ve lost all but one family member and one close friend--you’re not dead yet. The worst thing to do is to prolong mourning to the point you’re paralyzed. Get out of the house. Interact with others if only on a superficial level at first. Join a church or synagogue or mosque or temple. If you stay around, people will eventually have to speak to you! Take the initiative. Casually comment, “Father’s homily was particularly interesting.” Or, Rabbi Goldman makes Torah easy to understand.” Or, “I see you here every morning. Starting the day with prayer sets the tone for the rest of the day. Do you feel the same way?” Or, “It’s so encouraging to see young people enthusiastic about God!”
I'm sorry for your losses. Most of the time during the week I feel isolated and alone. My husband gone a lot. My dog is here for me and I talk to God and Jesus as my very best friends. It helps a lot but yes we have a desire for human "real" friends and communication. I'm 68.
I was raised in the 60’s and 70’s. My parents taught us to respect adults and authority. Well at 17 when I got my first serious job, I learned to give respect to people who deserved it and definitely not because of someone just being older than me. Took a couple months of working before I understood that. But I am respectful to all people who deserve it and I judge people from my own experience with them, not what someone else’s opinion is of them.
Your sharing is wonderful, thank you very much
older people are not perfect. you don't have to judge anything. Just respect sometimes by keeping silent. Time will teach you. be an honourable person. you may even see their decline. remember, as you age you will see a decline in yourself, in different aspects. It's much deeper, but time will teach and correct you.
God bless you so much ❤
@@jamesclarke3248 my point of judging on my own is because I’ve found that just because someone bad mouths another doesn’t necessarily mean I’m going to have the same opinion of them. I’ve come across too many people that I’ve worked with that other people couldn’t stand for what ever reason and I liked the person that was bad mouthed about. I do listen to what they say but then I make my own choice of how I like or dislike the person. I’m not judging anyone I’m making mind up of how I can tolerate them if they happen to be hard to deal with.
Totally.
I'm 65 years old, and every moment I live is meaningful-there's nothing to be ashamed of.

To your first point…I’m 57 and I feel like I’m too old to be young and too young to be old. I listen to more elderly people because they always have interesting things to say about life. In China, the elderly are treated as the most important in the family and respected by society in general. It seems that the West is the worst.

I think it’s interesting that these suggestions are targeted to older people. I see people of all ages that would be “guilty” of some of the charges this narrator makes of older people.
Your sharing is wonderful, thank you very much
I find this video to be very insulting. This person has probably never spent much time with older people and is only making things up to get 'views.'
Forming relationships with young people. Yeah, right!!! I didn't know this video was about comedy
Once you hit a certain age, I think the poem" Warning," by Jenny Joseph, excerpted below is appropriate:
"When I am an old woman I shall wear purple
With a red hat which doesn’t go, and doesn’t suit me.
And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves
And satin sandals, and say we’ve no money for butter.
I shall sit down on the pavement when I’m tired
And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells
And run my stick along the public railings
And make up for the sobriety of my youth.
I shall go out in my slippers in the rain
And pick flowers in other people’s gardens
And learn to spit."
Your sharing is wonderful, thank you very much
A favorite. AND … I once belonged to the “Red Hat Society” and the women I met there were some of the most entitled ugly people I’ve ever known. They did a lot of the stuff this video tells us NOT to do. …I was under 50 yo when I joined. I learned from these women how not to be as I got older. It was a good lesson. 🙏🏼
The poem actually sounds kinda fun. 😅🎉
@@TreasureDeal And making myself obnoxious !😂😂
Some of those behaviors listed in this famous poem I have seen on older people who ended up being declared incompetent, removed from reality and deemed incapable of looking after themselves. Ended up being committed by their families and their doctors to nursing homes. Be careful in your unconformity.
This poem and The Red Hat Movement was directed at and appealed to women who were dominated and tightly controlled, unable to make their own decisions by dominating, abusive husbands or families. Once these women escaped their controllers, were on their own and experienced freedom, they tended to act out a little crazy at first. Of course, you can't blame them.
Wise advice for any age.

Don't get like your mother. Never stop eyeing up the opposite sex. Wear up to date clothes. Be voracious of knowledge. Tell your story before it is too late. Make a will, according to people's just deserts, not convention. Look forward, never back. Don't be too proud to ask for help. Stay up late and get up when you want to. Pass on your knowledge whenever you can. Be receptive of new ideas and discriminating about old ones. ENJOY LIFE!

I agree! I refuse to be put in the category of "elderly & useless". I'm a "senior human being" with knowledge, wisdom & experience. I fell down, but got back up & continued my day!! I'm so sick of society portraying older people as silly, useless & "elderly"! I mow my own lawn, trim my trees & bushes, do my own house work, and even fixed my flat tire in driveway with Flex
Tape & Elmer's glue! I can improvise, adapt & overcome when necessary. I refuse to be "invisible", too! PS: I'm 72!
One. Thehardest ones for me are self-care, maintaining appearance, and change. Living in isolation, those things are easiest to neglect.
I agree with you-my fastidious husband of 57 years now seldom bathes and brush his teeth. Very sad!
@@Hummingbird9941 I would be curious about what's causing it. That sounds like a huge change for him. For me it's mainly about losing my sight and being financially taken advantage of by people I thought were my friends but are now destroying me psychologically.

No they cannot and they do not even want work they want everything given to them and want to be Millionaires at age 30. They only care about how many followers they have on RUclips, instagram and TikTok.
It's a wonderful reminder that aging is not just about the years passing by but about embracing each moment with grace and wisdom.
I agree about the forgiveness section. Often we forgive AND have to move on and let that person go from our lives. Often a person no longer serves our happiness, and we find that the relationship no longer feeds positive energy to either person. We are tired- I have read that a lot here. So, we are tired of being kind and wanting the hypothetical relationship that never happened…. wanting to have a relationship that we finally accept is not productive and reciprocal.

Good stuff! Thank you! As I was getting into my 60s, I‘ve been very vigilant about not harboring or practicing any of those traits myself. That’s because, for as long as I can remember, I never enjoyed being around older folks who did. Now, if only I can get my contemporaries to shut up about how times they were in are much better than the times around them now. Especially as they weren’t necessarily so.

I am in my 60s and enjoy spending time with people from different generations. We can learn from others and may energize you. Sometimes it allows me to think about what I/we were like at a younger stage and be patient as the younger people grow.
Absolutely! Connecting with different generations brings so much wisdom and perspective. It’s truly enriching.
At 74 and just getting “warmed-up” for the next 20 years I enjoyed the comments the most. Remember there are 3 Ages: Your Chronological Age; your REAL AGE, how you taken care of yourself (lifestyle); and the AGE you think you are. There is one of these three that has NO RELEVANCE. Which one is the MOST IMPORTANT?
Well said!

My father used to get annoyed, struggling to communicate with an elderly aunt who refused to wear a hearing aid.
Now he refuses to wear one because " he's not at that stage yet " and ignores everyone's frustration when we have to repeat everything several times for him!
@@ghound-md5eyMy mother now passed over claimed that she couldn't understand what was being said in a crowd only when one to one with somebody. She had a hearing aid fitted but refused to wear it. Said when her hair grew longer but hated her hair long! She had every excuse not to use them. She had not charged the batteries was the usual excuse but also said I don't know why they gave me these.

Pain can make even simple tasks feel like mountains to climb. Your determination to overcome it is inspiring-keep going! 🙏💕
"You never get a second chance to make a good first impression". That applies to all ages.
I can identify many older people I know who practise all or a combination of these bad habits. People will gradually avoid them or ignore them and they become isolated and lonely.
It's important for us to remember to remain humble, remember our manners, not take ourselves and life too seriously and practise The Golden Rule which we were taught in Kindergarten.

While there are some good points in the video, I found the maximum enjoyment in the small mistakes (or not so small) in the AI (artificial intelligence) generated pictures. Missing legs, levitating coffee cups, mispellings and more. I probably woke my husband up from laughing out loud.
I don't know what AI is going to do to our future, but right now it's pretty darn funny.
P.S. If you are older, and maybe fearful about the future, I think you will find there are people that will care about you. My husband and I play music in assisted living and nursing homes, and we love them as we entertain them. Love those around you, and accept the love they will give you.
Your sharing is wonderful, thank you very much
You are. very observant! I can not see these overlooked things!😊
No 1 of your alternatives. Well conceived and presented objectively . Most people would like to re - live ONLY , the glory of past and miss the present and what other ( still ) greatness lies in the front .
One of the Best methods to enjoy all 3 ( past , present , future ) is to allocate times of the day to live all 3 . In my experience , I allocate late evening and bed time ( after dinner ) to “ Past “ glories & reminiscences, to allocate mornings to live the “Present” ( say breakfast to lunch times ) and to allocate time for “Future” “”expectations to tea times & evenings ( walking or with friends etc ) and you get the Greatness of all 3 Times .
TRY IT .

You have valid points but you are overlooking the fact that many seniors are completely disregarded and ignored. Seniors are often judged by others as being insignificant. Your advice also applies to younger folks particularly those in customer service positions. Share your advice thoughts with others who are younger. As for caring for appearance do you have idea how much pain some of our seniors experience? Living on fixed income often makes seniors choose between
medications or new clothes and beauty shops.
As for respect from younger folks that is a laugh out loud comment. Many seniors feel shame from the effects of aging. I take your comments with a huge grain of salt.
Your sharing is wonderful, thank you very much
I’m 73 and don’t have that much to add to s conversation. Keep your mouth shut and people may think you’re a fool. Open your mouth and remove all doubt. I don’t have anything to boast about. I never pre-judge people. Listen and you might be surprised. Schedule a visit to the salon regularly. Get your hair done, your nails manicured, Gents, take a shower! Use deodorant or deodorant soap. DO NOT TRY TO REPLACE HYGIENE WITH PERFUME OR POWDER! Go easy on the scents. We older folks tend to lose our sense of smell. Don’t stink up the room with our scent. Smell of freshly bathed person, not body spray. Try changes. Even if you decide to stick with your old ways, at least you’ve tried. Try out new things, take a class, if you can’t play sports, go cheer others on. Get out once a day, even if it’s just outside your house or sitting by a window. Like your memories, turn them into art or a book or storytelling.
Being clean is no.1.period.

I think this video is very helpful. It reminds me to be thoughtful in spite of the challenges to health, love and economy that comes with aging. Each of us, regardless of age, will experience a healthier, happier, less stressful life if we breathe, slow down, and look within. By the way: I recently celebrated my 76th birthday, which gives me pause, in more ways than I would have anticipated. 😉
Thank you very much
I don’t share my knowledge anymore and in turn I don’t listen to people whining about their families, kids and medical conditions. They never reciprocate. If it’s family they sure want to talk if they’re in need of my money though. People are so divided over everything anymore I don’t even bother dating as most of them I’ve come across have drinking problems. I’m a happy 61 year old who enjoys my own company. I have 3-4 friends I regularly share meals with but I attend theater plays and concerts by myself as no one is interested in the same things I am. It’s just the way it is.
Your sharing is wonderful, thank you very much
Elders really do have wisdom from experience. Whereas some of your suggestions are helpful, I personally think many young people need these lessons of patiently listening as they can be full of themselves as well.
Very insightful-patience and listening are lessons we can all benefit from, regardless of age. Wisdom truly grows from experience. 🌼
At the age of 70 I needed to hear this… I have been aware of the changes I need to make, yet struggle with many of these things. I notice you did not mention how as we age, regardless of our persistence in being active and involved, we often become invisible. Our soft voices, and learned behaviors of allowing others to speak over us, not interrupt, etc make is “invisible” and often, excluded. And LONELINESS!!!
We spend so much time either totally alone (due to disability) that when we finally DO get a chance to engage, it’s been so long since we’ve heard anything except for a “mechanical” TV or radio voice - or for that matter, opened our own mouths to use our own voice, that when the opportunity presents itself, we “over share” are considered “dominating” the conversation and/or the language that we learned/used in our era is no longer “acceptable”.
Just saying (of course in too many words, because I am alone and lonely and no one cares anymore what I think or say anyway.
And just FYI
- I was a powerful, vibrant, admired, intelligent practicing professional - and yet….
It's true, as we get older, we sometimes expect respect without realizing that respect is earned. I’ve found that showing kindness and being open to others’ experiences, no matter their age, brings real connection. A little humility goes a long way.
Excellent advice.
Yes for everyone no matter their age.
Many things are worth while listening to -however this is way too long! The beginning is interesting and something to pay attention to however after a while I get the feeling I am being lectured by someone that is half my age.
Your sharing is wonderful, thank you very much
Yes!
So, 1. Don't share what worked for you.
2. Don't brag about your success; someone in the group may be poor and needy.
3. First impressions aren't true or real. We all have masks.
4. Dress up-be pretty/handsome!
6. Old age no longer brings respect of elders. You are no longer relevant. Show respect for the younger, smarter Generation.
7. Forgive everyone anything. It is over.
Don't write anything! It can be used against you Years later.
8. The old way/your way has to change! It is not better. Adapt!
10. Ignore it when someone hurts ypur feelings; they don't count anymore.
At age 83 this is what was said. Har har :))
You're no longer relevant.
7.
Thank you
So I guess at my age of 75, I just need to sit down and shut up and all will be good. All these rules are why I choose to be alone with family. We all talk over one another and dress for comfort. Our conversations are not a business meeting.

Wow, that part at 15:26 was absolutely mind-blowing! 😮We should avoid judging people based on first impressions. Everyone has a unique story, and we should take the time to get to know people on a deeper level. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Your sharing is wonderful, thank you very much
THANK YOU 🙏 ❤
You are so welcome
The photos in this are beautiful. This is valuable information. I would add that the world is overstimulating now due to so many people and cars and sounds ( music) . Often that’s why I stay home so much and avoid leaving my neighborhood .
Thank you! And yes, creating a calming space at home can be so grounding amidst the overstimulation of the world. 🏡💙
Wise advice indeed. Thank you for these reminders 🙏❤️
Your sharing is wonderful, thank you very much

Just turned 60. For the first time have all these issues with spouse and inlaws. Getting older is not for the weak.
Your sharing is wonderful, thank you very much
I hope everyone has a memorable life and enjoys every moment in their life!
Spot on!! I am guilty of 8 of these traits- have some serious work ahead of me FANTASTIC INSIGHT!!
Very good reminders and after all that has been said, to learn to laugh at ourselves...
#1. Very enlightening…. I’m a senior in my 70’s. I find aging amusing, however I really do not understand why.
Aging has its own humor, doesn’t it? It’s wonderful you can find amusement in it! Stay joyful. 🌟
Thank you so much for sharing this material! It has opened my eyes to mistakes I have been making and inspired me to live more wisely. Very timely advice!

1) Don’t constantly dominate every conversation. Limit talk. Listening is a form of generosity. 🤩
I’ve kicked people out of my life who can’t ever shut up. Yes, all are old women. 🤦♀️
Your sharing is wonderful, thank you very much
I've found this very common with old men. They seem to want to explain everything to me.
Many older people hog the conversation and babble endlessly about their children and grandchildren. You can't get a word in, and they resist if you try to move on to another topic. They are unaware of current events, don't read books, have no other interests or hobbies, and are unable to have an intelligent conversation about any other subject matter. These people are very tiresome to be around and quickly lose their sympathetic audience.
Not just old women!!
Thank you for the information. I wrote them down so I can read and reread them for reminders. Keep up the good work. God bless.

#1, Generally speaking, men, young and old , tend to dominate conversations, women generally have always given others space to speak and been better at active listening. #2, Bragging, ditto , women don't generally have a boasting problem :)
Your sharing is wonderful, thank you very much
Pretty sure the monopolized conversation screams of narcissism.
Your sharing is wonderful, thank you very much
10 X Over!!
Sometimes people feel compelled to entertain or fill in gaps in the conversation. My husband does this and I keep asking him to encourage others to talk. He’s not narcissistic, just annoying.
Excellent advice, thank you!!

1. Thanks for this great insight to my age. I’m 85 and will be very attentive to your advice! Thank you
Your sharing is wonderful, thank you very much
Very nice teaching; with every point being an important aspect to hear to maintain peace of mind and it is made clear that we can always experience great cheer. Freedom!
Your sharing is wonderful, thank you very much
❤️
Thank you for this.
I didn't realise how annoying I was.
I'd like to change.
These pointers are very helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
Understanding others is 'simple': If you had started in the same state they did and experienced exactly what they have in their life, you'd be exactly in their condition and state of mind. Judgmentalism helps no one.
Your sharing is wonderful, thank you very much
This is great. I think I'm pretty good with these things, but it is helpful to be reminded, and to hear someone else's thoughts. Always learn something that will help. Thank you! Best regards to all fellow seniors - and those who will one day be. Listened to it at 2x speed. I like the old guy in #6 "Letting go of grudges," sitting outside with a doobie. Right on!
Glad it was helpful!
Excelente, thank you 🙏🏻💖🌟
You are so welcome
Great Advice here!
Thank you ❤️
These maxims that you elaborate on do not just apply in old age but are truisms any time through life. One gets into paradigms while some are beneficial others are detrimental. It is important to self-reflect to understand oneself & the relationships with others as an ongoing process in the journey of life. As Ralph Waldo Emerson said "life is a journey not a destination"! Interesting & insightful video!
Your sharing is wonderful, thank you very much
Very powerful tips. Many thanks ❤
You're so welcome!
I don’t understand why this is directed at older people! These are problems I see this in all age groups
