There's a confidence and sense of self that comes with age that I didn't anticipate.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When I was younger, I was more self-conscious about living up to or surpassing the expectations of others. But as you get older, you start to build confidence.
I have more self-confidence than I did when I was in my 20s.
Maybe it's that I'm naive, but I don't think of myself as an age.
When you're young, you don't especially think of yourself as being young. You're just alive and everything's interesting and you don't think of things in terms of age because you're not conscious of it.
I've become more confident as I have got older. I care less what others think.
As you get older, there's a loosening of the ties to the ego and the posturing of who you are and how you behave.
Maybe it has something to do with turning 30. I don't feel as shy or nervous or self-conscious. I have more confidence that I can handle what life brings me. I don't feel scared to have an idea and express it.
You are as young as your self-confidence, as old as your fears; as young as your hope, as old as your despair.
I'm conscious of age, but I'm more suspicious of it than anything.
I'm younger than I once was. Internally. Less self-conscious. Less insecure.
