I do ready myself for work to be presentable but whenever I find myself fussing over how I look I remind myself that no one cares how I look. It's become very liberating. People also don't see about 90% of your aging signs. If you've been around them for a while all they see is you. Just like all you see is them when you know them.

If anyone doesn't believe that they should close their eyes and try to remember how their friends' or co-workers' mouth looks or how their ears look or their nose. Most people can't remember those details yet they instantly recognize them when they see them.

Really, people don't look at the details.
