Adults of Reddit, how do you take in the fact that your youth is gone and the years are slipping past you?

I fear that beauty standards and bullying will still be important even for old people. Sure the most beautiful people will lose their looks, but they will become average looking old people while I will look like a scary monster. Also the fact that they will rely on looking back at memories as a form of communication and I won't have any to look back on because of how ugly I am.

Maybe it's not such a bad thing my low functioning autism means have a low life expectancy. But then again there is still a small possibility I could live to 30 and people start sharing early adulthood memories long before then and even at 30 beauty standards are important.
