The purpose of this research is to examine the levels of age discrimination and social self-presentation that individuals over the age of 65 experience during the Covid-19 pandemic process. The research was designed in a qualitative design. For this purpose, thematic contents were created that can help the elderly develop positive self-esteem and increase their social self-presentation skills according to the qualitative dimension. The answers given by the participants were compiled and content analysis was made and discussed with a phenomenological approach. According to the results of the research, participants over the age of 65 stated that they were exposed to age discrimination and social exclusion during the Covid-19 process.
