Is 40 young?

[Lybrah]

I believe that I am still a young person. I would think that a middle aged person would no longer be young, like someone who is 50-60 years old. Am I young or middle aged? I have been so concerned about my age that I have wondered this for years. It doesn't help that a 60 year old would consider me young, yet a 20 year old would consider me old. I have obsessed less about my age because I have embraced it. However, I still have those nagging thoughts that just won't go away.

No. You are only young to people in their 60's and above.

When the show Roseanne first got it's reboot last spring or whenever it was, Becky and Darlene were having a conversation and it involved Becky's age, Becky thinking and acting like she was still 20-something when she is actually in her 40s. Darlene told her "you're an old-young, or a young-old."
