I understand that some changes are natural as we age but it can be still a lot to process. Some things happen over time, other things suddenly.
Of course putting things in perspective can help, it does for me a lot of the time. Sometimes, just sometimes, changing perspective does not help - that's when I reach out to my trauma therapist.
I understand your examples though.
Ptsd is tricky and at times my usual coping mechanisms don't work so I need to face things in therapy to find a solution or acceptance/processing/releasing of emotions.
I am amazed at how many different experiences we share and it changes my perspective, reading other people's stories and life experiences. It is very precious and I learn from it.
Thank you for sharing your perspective, I will keep it in mind if I notice I worry over things unnecessarily.
I try to treat people as I would want when I teach as I’ve known the other
Being judged for thinning hair etc really doesn’t help. I agre that for me I like being around true friends as thre are judgrnnyal

Personally, I find friendships and relationships very important and I see how many people are lonely and feel "rejected".
That's sad like you say.
I am in my early 40s and my husband appreciates me but I don't always accept myself. I have slightly thinning hair, it is nothing compared to real problems but it can cause feeling "less than" if we compare ourselves to others.
It is a subjective feeling as my husband says I have great long hair.
Lots of things can make us self conscious and lead to avoiding human contact. Yet human contact is what makes me so much better.
It takes courage but it is worth it. People will notice your kindness.
Today I met a lady locally who lives alone with her dogs and she started a group to go for walks to meet other people. She has friends now. That was really inspiring.
Thank you for your post as this is a very important need, to have friends, to be around others and feel less alone.
What a beautiful touching memory you have...I'm sorry you miss her, that's heartbreaking. Very precious that you had that time with her.
