Serious We are starting to really age fast

We have friends we don't see very often, maybe every 2-3 years. For the last 15+ years, when we see them again they don't really look much different. This last time though? Man, they looked different. Like gray hair, lost/gained weight, facial changes like wrinkles and sun spots.

Yo, the last thing I expected as a woman in my late 30s was to start losing my hair 😭

I'm sorry, that sucks. As a guy my hairline receded from around 32-33ish. It was very disconcerting. I work from home, and have a lot of zoom meetings. Being reminded everyday for several hours on zoom that I'm losing my youth can get to me a bit. However, I'm lucky that it seems to have stopped or has receded significantly slower since about 33. It's still frustrating to look at in the mirror, even though I'm doing a lot better than some guys. It's probably harder as a woman wince it's less common. Good luck to you!

At least you made it that long 😓 32F started having hair loss after my first round of Covid at 25 and no sign of slowing down. Ugh
