That’s funny-as-hell: whatever culture my soul/continuum’s previous human-category-life was in, being called young was an insult.
I’ve never understood why anybody would want to be “young” instead of “old”, because when you’re old, you’ve outgrown foolish-nonunderstanding/ignorance…
“old” also means less healthy. No one wants to have backpain and the like, though the particular issue here is probably just the vanity of not wanting to look old (e.g. aged skin, thinning hair, those “I have pain in my back/legs/etc.”-postures, or even just having an outdated sense of style).
Yeah I suppose thats my question, is it like in the U.S. it can be a little minefield implying someones wizened or experienced without being old? Like the trap of of you know so much because you’ve been around, than just calling someone old?

Schrodinger’s age: It can be both a complement and insult until you observe their intentions.
