New T age issue

[MakersDozn]

True not only of Ts but of people in general. It's especially weird for us as a multi system whose members are all much younger than our body.

First, like singletons, we have to deal with the fact that as our body ages, there's an increase in the proportion of outside people who are younger than our body is. Then factor in our self-concept of being younger than our biological age. We know that we've been around for X years, but we don't see ourselves as being that old.

At times we may identify with outside people whose body age is similar to our inside age. So, in effect, we're "neither here nor there"--not simply aging the way a singleton does, but no longer as young as we see ourselves. It just adds to our feelings of isolation.
