“LINE still grants your wishes when you look at it…” 9 moments when you thought the people around you were like old ladies – All about the news

Have you ever had the impression that a close friend or someone you saw on the street looked like an old woman? We've carefully selected “Tales of Behavior That Made Us Feel Like an Auntie” from the “Auntie Poll” conducted by the All About news editorial department.

As we get older, we have more opportunities to feel like an uncle or aunt, but the situations in which we feel this way vary from person to person. In what situations do men and women around the world feel this way?

On September 30, 2024, the All About editorial department conducted an “Awareness Survey on Aunts.” Among them, I would like to present an episode in which I looked at the people around me and said to myself: “They are old ladies.”

In the past…I tended to say that…

Not that I'm particularly worried about it, but… I feel like sometimes I feel like complaining or talking down to young people.

“When I see people saying negative things about their children's hair, clothes, and behavior, saying, 'Kids are the way they are now,' it's easy to forget what it was like to be a kid. It's all gone.” (Female in her 50s, Saitama Prefecture)

“When I would talk to young people, like middle school and high school students, they would use phrases that made me feel older, like ‘back in the day’ and ‘when I was young.’” (Female, 20s, Aichi Prefecture)

“When I see him treating a young boy like a son even though he's not part of his family, I feel like he's an old woman.'' (Female in her 30s, Hyogo Prefecture)

Don't like it? Don't you hate it? In a “definitely women’s” clothing store.

As we get older, our bodies become more selfish. A lot of people seem to think they need to be creative with their clothing…

“When you wear baggy clothes or clothes that don't fit your body shape, you suddenly feel like an older woman, and your body shape can't help but wear clothes like that that don't follow the trends of the times or aren't monochromatic ‘I feel like brown colors make me look older. '' (Female in her 20s/Hyogo Prefecture)

“When I see her without makeup and her hair tied back tightly, she looks very old-fashioned, even if she is my age. It's a shame because she could have looked younger if she had the right makeup and hairstyle. I feel that way a little bit.” (Female in her 20s / Nagano Prefecture)

'When I see women wearing clothes bought from a clothing store that are clearly aimed at women, I worry that they don't like the fact that they dress like aunts and identify themselves as aunties (female in 1950s/Kumamoto Prefecture)

Like this job!? I can't keep up with the development of smartphones…

Smartphones and computers improve in performance every year. I think it's understandable that if you don't have the opportunity to use it on a daily basis at work, you may find it difficult to master it…

“The woman’s smartphone started ringing on the train when she didn’t set it to silent mode, so she hurriedly took it out of her bag, but she didn’t seem to know how to turn off the sound, so she was confused… She thought this was what the ‘old lady’ looked like.” ( Female in her 40s / Tokyo)

“I feel like an old woman when I feel confused because I don't know how to use a smartphone, or when I try my best to do something that can easily be done on a smartphone, but I feel like an old woman” (female in her 20s, Hokkaido)

“In the age of telephone e-mail, there were people who still believed in images like 'Wishes will come true to those who see them' and 'Something good will happen if you send them to others' and I sent them to them on LINE.Net Literacy I feel like a woman with low grades looks like a woman Old.'' (female in her 30s, Ishikawa Prefecture)

However, as we age, changes occur in every person's mind and body. It's no surprise that you can't do much when you're so busy. It would be good if we could live our lives in a healthy way, and have compassion for each other without being too negative.
