Do you get along better with other age groups?

Post Reply New Topic

I'm 21 and I can get along with pretty much any age. However I find kids and very old people hard to relate to usually, I don't have anything against them but kids seem needy to me and i can't understand what they're saying much of the time, and really old people (im talking like over 80) seem kinda out of it usually and tend to be very conservative but it can be really cool talking to old people who aren't like super old.

I'm ok with people around my age but they can feel too immature to me so I can only handle them in moderation. The 30+ age and up I get on with better. I'm not that good with kids. I can't talk to them on their level. That sounds a bit arrogant of me but it's the truth. My interests and the way I think is a bit too verbose and intense for most kids.

I get along best with very small children who can hardly talk..they are less prone to judge me, and we are prone to develop a decent mutual understanding of one-another..

I prefer kids most of the time, and I prefer people in the 30-40 range over my own age group.

I can handle people my age and older if they are eccentric enuff to tolerate and understand me...There are some people who are younger than me who might, but I don't come across them very often.

None of the kids I hung out during my senior year of high school were seniors.

I find MOST teenagers hard to relate to. Notice how I said MOST. I find teenage boys harder to relate to then teenage girls for some reason. I find younger children harder to relate to but I find adults, pretty easy to relate to. All my friends are over the age of 30.

The age group that I find the hardest to relate to is the 12-14 age group. I find them judgmental at times.

I'm not interested in most of the things kids my age are interested in.

People are generally individuals (influenced by group mentality to some extent, but not pervasively). I go by the person. But generally speaking, I prefer older people. My best mate is 77 so that may have something to do with it. In my experience, people of that age tend to talk more in concepts, about things, where as people my own age (20-30) tend to talk primarily about themselves and expect me to do the whole self-disclosure thing in return, which I strongly dislike.
