In your teens and 20s, you care what other people think about you.

In your 30s and 40s, you stop caring what other people think about you.

In your 50s and 60s, you realize that no one was really thinking about you after all.

I noticed that even if I cared or judged someone, the one who's wasting time and energy is actually me, and there are no actual effects on the target.
