Oddly enough, it is not only bad habits, health problems, makeup mistakes and incorrectly chosen wardrobe items that can make a person look older.
The use of certain phrases in one's speech often leads to a similar consequence.
It turns out that there are replicas that make people look older without any changes in appearance.
Want younger acquaintances to perceive you less often as a “representative of the older generation”? Then exclude the following phrases from your vocabulary:
"It's a shame not to know"
In an age of information overload, it is foolish to criticize people for not knowing a particular fact.
Every person (including you) is quite knowledgeable in a certain area, but probably missed something in another.
So remember: your interlocutor can also “catch” you not knowing something “obvious”.
"But before..."
Nostalgia is characteristic of representatives of the older generation.
If a person starts reasoning in the style of “The grass was greener in the past,” then he immediately begins to seem older.
"She chose strange clothes..."
Young people try to be understanding of each other's clothing style.
But some grandmothers like to criticize girls for “a blouse that is too bright” or “a skirt that is too short.”
