There are special ages enforced by society (driving age, drinking age, voting age...) so everyone has a tendancy to follow their age until all those barriers are passed. After that I think it's more a level of confidence within yourself, as opposed to a certain age. If you need your age to help define yourself, then it is important to you... with self-confidence you are comfortable with yourself no matter your age and it becomes less important.

Of course there are times when you do take the time to reflect on your life (commonly at 30, 40, 50...) but that's a different thing: an opportunity to take stock, not really age dependant (except for our own impressions of what we wanted to accomplish by that age...).

Denial can (of course) come from many directions (regret, fear of mortality, fear of change...).

BTW, this thread isn't about my B-Day... which is a couple weeks away.
