Hi all,
I'm a university student going into my second year this year, and I've spent some time reflecting on my life over the summer holidays.
I've found a summer job to work for a few months during the break, and am really enjoying it. I feel completely at ease with my colleagues even though they're much older than me, and I feel like I enjoy spending time with them more than I do with my friends of my same age.
As I thought about this, I realised that even in school I felt closer to people that were older than me, some even four years older! I just feel more interested in them, I like to ask questions about them, ask for their wisdom, etc. Whenever I talk to people around my age, it's always about games, sports, tv shows, and seemingly senseless topics. As a result, I feel like I'm unable to find a meaningful connection with people in my age group.
Is this an unusual behaviour? I enjoy spending more time with older people than I do with those my age. Is anyone else like me?
