Why do some people act like being in your forties or fifties is ancient?

I saw a question here recently from a woman asking what there was to look forward to after she reached 40. I was like seriously?
I don't know if anyone else watches the TV show Survivor, but there was a guy on there who was 52 years old and the doctor had to treat him for heat exhaustion and he was yelling something like, "Doctor Joe brought this old pirate back from the dead!" Dude! You are 52, not 82. That guy still has a good 30 years left on him yet!
Am I missing something here? Do people sign up for the retirement home once they hit 40?

I'm probably the same as the lady , once I hit 35 I'll start thinking of myself as an "old lady" . that is if I even make it to that age lmfao

Lolll congrattss and I didn't mean it that way 🤔 its. Kind of a weird thing that probably makes no sense but if its someone else I don't really care if they're considered old or young. Its just for me, I feel like I'll be old by that age ....that made no sense 😅idk how to word it

If it's any consolation , when I was your age I thought I would never see 35. Now 35 is a young chick
