46-years-old is the magic number, because a new study has found that apparently at this age, people finally stop worrying about what other people think of them.

According to Metro, the study of 2,000 volunteers aged 55 and up found that generally, we still worry about all the normal insecurities until about the age of 46.


The survey also found the following:

1. We finally feel okay about our appearance in our mid-30's. For men, it's 34. For women, 36.

2.  The average person feels settled in and okay about their relationship at 37.

3.  We don't truly feel good about our career until we hit 40.

4.  In general, we feel comfortable in our own skin at age 42.

5.  We don't feel like we can really speak our mind until our early-to-mid 40's.  For men, it's 40.  For women, 45.

6.  We finally start to relax about finances at age 50.
