Relating to Older People when I was 15-25(fitting in Period)

Post Reply New Topic

It seemed to me, in my day, that there was always an out group where all the artsy types, lost souls, misfits used to all congregate together; the weirder, the better....but those times have long passed, it would seem.

The BMW and Lexus crowd took over, along with the jocks and straights!! !

I fit into that crowd, unfortunately dysgraphia limits my capacity to express myself.

Of course, I really don't hang with 'crowds' well.

All of my friends are at most five years older then me, I have a few that are a bit younger then me, two years at the most. I'm sixteen, by the way.

Heh, forgetting your youth? I dropped that somewhere along the bullying and the medication side-affects. *Sigh.*

I fit in better with intelectuals. I'm just not good at everyday conversation. It doesn't even have to be a certain age group, I've had very stimulating conversations with 10 year olds.

i was always one-of-a-kind. i fit in nowhere. i was either ambination of every crowd or none of them at all. it was kinda weird really. iwas on work release so it didnt really matter cuz i wuz never at school most of the time.

As far back as I remember I always related better to adults (until I became one, though still look to those that are wise and can help me). I was held back in Grade Primary due to my lack of interest in my peers and my intense desire to talk to the teacher and all.

I found that in my youth, I talked a lot to my friend's mother quite a bit. I think that she really helped me grow up and develop more than anyone else.

I wish everyone could find as good a mentor to help them through the darkest hours.

I was "scared straight" into finding some contemporaries, be they good influences or not. My mother was unenlightened, wished her daughter (me) was a cheerleader, etc. I try so hard to not hang myself up on that stuff regarding my son.

Heh heh, I stick mainly to online friendships, much easier for me.

And if someone makes you mad, you can literally kill them in a good game!

It's funny though because there have been a few teachers that have actually taken the time to actually have intellectual conversations with me and I always enjoied talking with them more than just casual conversations other students. I did have a mangager at my old job that I called "Big Gay Steve" and we got along real well. He went through the Seminary and Culinary school and he was still only 28. He was always the first person I asked if I had a question and he became the model in which I have shaped most of my veiw of the world off of. He got transfered to another store a couple months before I finally quit.

Agreed. BTW i pinched and altered your signature quote a bit. It sounds better as "FEAR ME, BRIEF MORTALS, FOR YOU ARE TASTY AND SPREAD WELL ON TOAST."


And to be honest, I get on well with most people.

I come from a big family and related best with members MUCH older than I, the generation of my gramps. I don't have much contact with cousins now and almost zero contact with aunts and uncles. I'm worn out socially and on-line chatting is practically my only outlet now.
