When you're 20, you care what everyone thinks of you

When you're 40, you don't care what anyone thinks of you

When you're 60, you realize no one was thinking about you the whole time.

This can be crippling or freeing.

To (vaguely) quote Dr. Seuss:

It's a rule of thumb, and OP is right on track.
