Have you ever wondered how some people guess your age without fail, even though you thought you were skillfully hiding it? Despite our efforts to keep our looks timeless, there are subtle but telltale signs that cannot be denied. Below, we reveal five surprising things that, like an open book, reveal how much spring you've already celebrated.
Age is more as just a number, is the story of our life journey, which is reflected through our behavior, habits and even through the objects we use. Here are five things that will inevitably reveal our true age to the interviewer, no matter how skillfully we try to hide it.
It gives away your true age
Music preferences: Your playlist is like a time machine. Music that you feel a particular emotional response to most likely dates back to your teenage years or early twenties. If your conversation turns to the topic of music, your preference for certain bands or genres will quickly betray your decade.
Technological Prowess: Do you easily accept new technologies or do you still cling to the "good old days"? Younger generations have grown up surrounded by advanced technology and embrace it with ease, while older generations may show more hesitation or interest in technologies that were popular in their youth.
Fashion style: Fashion is cyclical, but the way you wear certain pieces can reveal a lot. Although some styles are timeless, the way you combine and wear your clothes can indicate in which decade you formed your fashion taste.
Body language and expressions: Every generation has its own a set of expressions and phrases they used in their youth. The way you express yourself, your body language and even your use of modern slang (or lack thereof) can say a lot about your age.
References and cultural references: When the conversation turns to popular culture, movies, series, or even historical events, your knowledge and enthusiasm for certain topics can quickly reveal your generational affiliation. Those series that you watched with enthusiasm as a teenager, or those movies that marked your youth, are like a living memory that betrays you unconsciously.
Although we may strive to conceal ours the right age, these subtle yet telltale signs are something we can't deny. Instead of obsessing over it, why not celebrate the rich tapestry of experience that comes with each decade of our lives? After all, it is age a mere number that cannot truly define our spirit and energy.
