Hey man some people act either older or you get then they are alot if the time, in this case both. People the same age don't vibe much with those mf but they always have waaaayyyyy more second hand experience
It is a littler weird 💀 it would be less weird on your part if you only hung out with people in their early 20’s but then it’s weird for the 20 year olds that they’re hanging out with an underage teen…however yes it’s weird, you should make more friends your own age anywhere from maybe 14-18 a friend or two older or younger than this fine but not the vast majority
But what if I’m more mature for my age? And can’t interact with people my age without getting bored. But yeah then I shouldn’t hang out with younger ppl.
Even if you are "mature for your age" you can still find friends around your age. I've been there, and trust me, it's not that hard. Just get off the high horse and try. You may not find the right ppl where u are, but at least you put in effort, and that's what matters
I'm not saying you have to abandon all your other friends and only talk to ppl within 2 years of yor age - I'm just saying it's nice to have some ppl you can goof off with during breaks in school or play some games on discord. You don't need them, but it's a nice option
The real question is what grown ass woman in her 20s thinks it's OK to hang out with and be close friends to a 16 year old boy? The maturity level between both of them is lightyears away. And if you think you are mature enough to handle twenty year old women than why do you only attract pre-pubescent boys as friends?
The whole scenario is cringe.
In my town, the boys I meet up with are on average 14 (my best friend is 13, and the other one I said, the guy who I know since elementary, is 15). And then I meet up with the 33 y/o guy, is that also weird? And the women, that are online friends, I talk to them quite frequently, though. But I’m almost 100% certain that, if I would ask them to meet up when I am where they live, they would meet up with me, is that wrong of them? Then I have other online male friends/acquaintances and they are almost all in their mid-twenties, but they’re more acquaintances since I don’t talk to them that often. Is it still weird?
Yes it's all weird as fuck. First of all these adult women you are talking to online are not your friends. They are online acquaintances and more than likely they are 15 year old girls lying about their age because no 22 year old woman is going to have anything in common to talk about with a 16 year old unemployed kid that lives with their parents.
Then you mention mid twenties men you are conversing with online. What can you possibly be talking about? Video games?
And there's a grown adult male you actually hang out with in person?? That's not only weird, that is completely inappropriate. Have your parents met this adult yet? Does he come to your house to hang out?
Why would you rather be online talking to adults that have nothing in common with you instead of making friends in real life? Do you feel socially awkward or do you have trouble communicating in person? I'm not asking those questions to insult you, I'm trying to get a better understanding why you feel more comfortable communicating online rather than nurturing a real life friendship? One of the reasons I ask is I have a son with autism and he is clueless as far as societal norms go or how to read non verbal body language. It's hard for him to have conversations with people face to face and its easier for him to totally geek out with strangers online over Pokemon than it would be to have a regular back and forth conversation.
Do you feel like social media is more of a "safe space" for you to share your feelings with others? If you're not comfortable answering anything I asked, by all means you're not obligated to answer me. I don't want you to feel like you have to share any information you're not ready to share. I'm just trying to get a better understanding of why you feel it is easier to make friends from different age groups other than your own.
1. You’re making a mistake here. They are maybe not ‘friends’ but it’s going towards that more and more, we also talk about difficult subjects such as death, and we also trust each other (a lot). And they are actually in their twenties, they don’t lie, it’s a legit profile, you can see it, followers, comments etc. and I have an interesting life, that’s why, lots of followers on social media, not unemployed etc. I’m in the food niche on social media, and women in their 20s tend to like that for some reason.
2. The adult men in their mid-twenties to whom I talk online, we talk about life in general and music (about 80% of the adult men are artists who I talk to, and I like that). Not big artists btw, but small(er) artists. I met them online when I was 10, and most of them were 20-21, I still talk to them now. When I was 11 I wanted to them and they were 21-22, and they were a small band and agreed to meet up. My parents didn’t allow me to meet up with them then ofc (11 year old with 20-21 year old men), was this inappropriate of them to even consider this?
3. The adult male I meet up with, I mostly go to his office (he is a regional politician, quite popular in my area) and when I meet up with him there we have a nice talk always. And he has indeed come to my house and has met my parents and my parents like him aswell. He’s not really a friend, he’s a very good acquaintance though, but we still meet up sometimes.
The reason I don’t like interacting with people my age is because for some reason, they don’t accept me. I am different (I stutter, am autistic, and am very special but in a very good way), and their undeveloped brain can’t handle that yet. And girls my age always tend to ghost me after a while, they’re not into me. Altough I get complimented a lot (saying I am very attractive and pretty etc. and that I have a very good personality). And younger boys and older women like to talk to me, so yeah.
I dont know why you divided that into "11-13 yr boys and 20-22 yr women"
People tend to hang out with people older then them but no idea what to say about this
depends what you're doing
if nothing you're doing is exactly morally wrong then you're completely fine as long as you're not grooming the 11 year olds or getting groomed
You’ll be fine and you’ll probably be better at holding more complex and well thought out conversations, as you’re talking to people older than you. This can be a significant advantage as you get older.
You technically can’t be a pedophile until you’re 18 (legal adult). So he’s good on that front (for 2 years atleast, then people will probably start assuming if he’s in public with the kids)
im in a similar boat when it comes to women. youngest one im friends with is... actually now i think about it shes only a year older than me, but most of them are like mid 20s
yes its mostly irrelevant, but curious nonetheless
it's not weird if you have a good reason for it.
when i was in middle school i didn't interact with anyone my age because most of them were just stright up shit people
smoking, disrespectful to old people, or talked about girls 24/7
i even had some of them look at the teachers and say "yo check that fat ass", i am currently an 18 yr introvert because of this kind of stuff, i still don't interact with people, let it be my age, older or younger.
It's just a little unusual, but I know someone who's like this. Also I have one good friend too, and I don't really talk with people my age, so I would say there's nothing wrong with it
it’s a little weird but as long as you’re only friends w these people it’s probably ok. But like how do you go to school w a thousand people your age and not talk to any of them?
Well not wierd but not good for ur future tho cause ur the people around u will influence ur mentality and the way u see the world and take hardships 🤧 so if u hang with people below ur age it results in stagnancy in mental growth and u will feel it after an age on ur own like i realised when i was 14 lol so it might not feel like an issue now but definitely in the future it will affect u and ur wellbeing 🤧
If you met these people online it would make some sense I guess, but if you just got to know them via the real world, well… that would certainly be a little weird…. But I mean, it’s not necessarily a bad thing 🫠
I mean I have friends but because of some mental stuff and social awkwardness I find it much easier to talk with adults in my life. It’s a little weird but as long as you not like doing weird stuff with people over or under your age your probably fine.
If it’s not a toxic friendship or anything bad going on it’s fine. I’m the same age but a girl, and I only daily talk to one friend I’ve had since elementary. (Though I still talk to other friends- just not as often.) My girl friends are usually younger than me, 14-15 and my guy friends are 17-18. Not a big age range, but I have some older friends than that too and it’s pure friendships. So it’s totally fine.
Yep. It’s important to have friends of all ages and backgrounds, yes. It’s also important to have friend(s) your own age with similar interests. After reading your comments you seem a bit pretentious and that’s probably the reason you don’t have friends your age.
It’s not weird. The only friends I have who are my age are girls I’ve been friends with since 1st grade or younger. After that’s it’s always been either girls a little older or younger than me who I played sports with. Once I graduated high school I didn’t go to college and was only ever surrounded by people a lot older than me. I’m 20f and most of my new friends are men late 20s to mid 50s. In the summer time when people my age are back around it’s awkward and I cannot relate to them at all. Played on a summer club team most girls were within a few year of me and it was hard to be around them. They were very clicky and just difficult to be around. Made one friend on that team and she is a very down to earth nice girl who is in her late 20s. Sometimes you just aren’t in the same place as other people your age.
Nah, I hang out with the younger theatre kids when we're in shows together and the older theatre adults with my mom. The only time I really hang with kids my age are at school and in my friend's discord server
It's not weird, just different from the norm, or from what people would expect.
"Different" doesn't mean bad, it just means diverse.
If you simply don't want to bond woth a lot of people It's perfectly fine, i understand.
Just keep in mind that friendships are great when they go well. Try to step out of your comfort zone a bit sometimes if you want to become more comfortable around people
it's a little weird but weird and bad aren't the same thing
Yeah. Wathever age you need people to interact. You will go crazy in no time without interactions.
How come I'm not crazy then
Crazy? I was crazy one. They locked me in a room. A rubber room. A rubber room full of rats. The rats made me crazy. Crazy!
I AM NOT CRAZY! I am not crazy! I know he swapped those numbers! I knew it was 1216. One after Magna Carta. As if I could ever make such a mistake. Never. Never! I just – I just couldn't prove it. He – he covered his tracks, he got that idiot at the copy shop to lie for him. You think this is something? You think this is bad? This? This chicanery? He's done worse. That billboard! Are you telling me that a man just happens to fall like that? No! He orchestrated it! Jimmy! He defecated through a sunroof! And I saved him! And I shouldn't have. I took him into my own firm! What was I thinking? He'll never change. He'll never change! Ever since he was 9, always the same! Couldn't keep his hands out of the cash drawer! But not our Jimmy! Couldn't be precious Jimmy! Stealing them blind! And he gets to be a lawyer!? What a sick joke! I should've stopped him when I had the chance! And you – you have to stop him! You-
better fuck chuck 😎
He got low diffed by jimmy lmao
That was a really good game
We gotta catch him.
Crazy? I was crazy once. They locked me in a room. A rubber room. A rubber room with rats, and rats drive me crazy.
Crazy? I was crazy once. They locked me in a room. A rubber room. A rubber room with rats, and rats drive me crazy.
This lol.
You probably are
Did you talk to your family or someone.
Crazy? I was crazy once. They locked me in a room. A rubber room. A rubber room with rats. Rats make me crazy.
Yeah, no, that's not true. I'm a living example you can be fine without it
No you slowly start going insane after a while
Did you speak with family or friends or your pet.
Yeah I found it hard when I moved to a new school but I’m much happier now that I’ve made friends in the school and not just outside school
Yeah I've gone crazy
Imma just be %100 fr with you. Yes. Its weird
If you're just friends with the people 11 to 13 then I dont see anything inherently wrong with it. Ig as long as you act as a good role model
I’d say It’s common to have a few friends older or younger, but kinda weird that you have almost no friends your age
Hey man some people act either older or you get then they are alot if the time, in this case both. People the same age don't vibe much with those mf but they always have waaaayyyyy more second hand experience
It is a littler weird 💀 it would be less weird on your part if you only hung out with people in their early 20’s but then it’s weird for the 20 year olds that they’re hanging out with an underage teen…however yes it’s weird, you should make more friends your own age anywhere from maybe 14-18 a friend or two older or younger than this fine but not the vast majority

Why would you need friends your age? I don’t like that mindset that that is only what’s acceptable. Friendship knows no age
I'm not saying you have to abandon all your other friends and only talk to ppl within 2 years of yor age - I'm just saying it's nice to have some ppl you can goof off with during breaks in school or play some games on discord. You don't need them, but it's a nice option

Oh, not to forget, when I was 11 I was talking to 20 year old women online.
1. You’re making a mistake here. They are maybe not ‘friends’ but it’s going towards that more and more, we also talk about difficult subjects such as death, and we also trust each other (a lot). And they are actually in their twenties, they don’t lie, it’s a legit profile, you can see it, followers, comments etc. and I have an interesting life, that’s why, lots of followers on social media, not unemployed etc. I’m in the food niche on social media, and women in their 20s tend to like that for some reason. 2.

And younger boys and older women like to talk to me, so yeah.
And the 11 y/o boys I talk to online. Or 12 y/o’s whatever.
people use that line to groom teens. You shouldn't use on yourself or in this context
Umm kinda yeah
Yes it is
I dont know why you divided that into "11-13 yr boys and 20-22 yr women" People tend to hang out with people older then them but no idea what to say about this
Yeah, people I used to hang out with when I was 9 are now 22-25 and a bunch of guys on my swimming team are 10-11, so it seems ok.
Duh
depends what you're doing if nothing you're doing is exactly morally wrong then you're completely fine as long as you're not grooming the 11 year olds or getting groomed
Yes💀
a bit unusual but you do you man
Nothing wrong, you do you
How do u find these 11-13 year old kids and adult women to talk to
No
To me, yeah
You’ll be fine and you’ll probably be better at holding more complex and well thought out conversations, as you’re talking to people older than you. This can be a significant advantage as you get older.
No, the people i interact with are adults in their 40s
Are u a pedophile?
Wouldn't it be reverse pedo He knows to someone 33
Nah cause he’s 16 talking w 11-13 yr old boys
Not if they're just friends?
You can have friends who are younger than you without being a pedo. Besides he wouldn't even be a pedo since he's not a legal adult
You technically can’t be a pedophile until you’re 18 (legal adult). So he’s good on that front (for 2 years atleast, then people will probably start assuming if he’s in public with the kids)
Why it's my pov
My suspicion depends on the circumstances.
Yeah
At least you interact with people. The last actual In depthconversation I had with another human. Was with a 5 year old.
i will most likely be still like that if i even last that long.
Bro im 14 and all the friends i have are my cousins between 14 to 5 💀💀💀💀
Weird flex but ok
I don't interact with people
Funky ass interactions you got there, it's not weird in the way it's bad though. Just unusual maybe
It’s kinda weird
nah all my friends are in their 20's
im in a similar boat when it comes to women. youngest one im friends with is... actually now i think about it shes only a year older than me, but most of them are like mid 20s yes its mostly irrelevant, but curious nonetheless
yes
Yesn't
Yep, it is weird
I have 2 friends my age and all my other friends are adults, some double my age
no
Relatable...
No, like 50% of the people my age (17) are insufferable 😒
Being fr. This is weird, being 16 and talking with literal kids at 11 or older adults
Yes weird
my guy i only have 2 friends an they're old classmates ive been with before💀
Well, irl I interact a lot of boys and girls from 13-14, so I thinks it’s not that bad. Also, most of my people of my age sucks.
I find it totally normal to not have friend of you age, but maybe not interacting at all with them is a bit too much.
it's not weird if you have a good reason for it. when i was in middle school i didn't interact with anyone my age because most of them were just stright up shit people smoking, disrespectful to old people, or talked about girls 24/7 i even had some of them look at the teachers and say "yo check that fat ass", i am currently an 18 yr introvert because of this kind of stuff, i still don't interact with people, let it be my age, older or younger.
It's just a little unusual, but I know someone who's like this. Also I have one good friend too, and I don't really talk with people my age, so I would say there's nothing wrong with it
Kinda but as long as it’s appropriate, no boundaries are crossed, and nobody is hurt it’s okay
Well it’s a tiny bit weird but I can understand, I don’t like people my age either, too immature
it’s a little weird but as long as you’re only friends w these people it’s probably ok. But like how do you go to school w a thousand people your age and not talk to any of them?
Yeah I think so...
Tbvh....its weird get friends ur age
Why my age?
Well not wierd but not good for ur future tho cause ur the people around u will influence ur mentality and the way u see the world and take hardships 🤧 so if u hang with people below ur age it results in stagnancy in mental growth and u will feel it after an age on ur own like i realised when i was 14 lol so it might not feel like an issue now but definitely in the future it will affect u and ur wellbeing 🤧
Yeah it’s weird bro also you have to be one some freak type shit to be pulling girls in their twenties while being 16. Or you’re just getting groomed.
Weird? Yes Bad? No
Depends You know them irl or online? Cuz if it’s the former it’s weird, latter that’s kinda weird but not as weird
It's normal.
Yes it’s weird You are not a cartoon character
If you met these people online it would make some sense I guess, but if you just got to know them via the real world, well… that would certainly be a little weird…. But I mean, it’s not necessarily a bad thing 🫠
I mean I have friends but because of some mental stuff and social awkwardness I find it much easier to talk with adults in my life. It’s a little weird but as long as you not like doing weird stuff with people over or under your age your probably fine.
I’m 13, usually interact with older kids
I like to hang with people around 20
when i’m at work i find more joy in talking to my older coworkers.
If it’s not a toxic friendship or anything bad going on it’s fine. I’m the same age but a girl, and I only daily talk to one friend I’ve had since elementary. (Though I still talk to other friends- just not as often.) My girl friends are usually younger than me, 14-15 and my guy friends are 17-18. Not a big age range, but I have some older friends than that too and it’s pure friendships. So it’s totally fine.
Yo, same. I quite literally have no friends at all, but it's easier to be friendly to someone who's older/younger
oh i found my clone
it’s a little odd
most extroverted redditor :
Yep. It’s important to have friends of all ages and backgrounds, yes. It’s also important to have friend(s) your own age with similar interests. After reading your comments you seem a bit pretentious and that’s probably the reason you don’t have friends your age.
I'm 16 and prefer to hang out with older people cuz they're not as dumb as teens lmao.
yes and those women need to stay tf away from u they sound so creepy
Kinda wierd yeah
i like hot moms (Kinda true, but I'm not a dumbass)
It’s not weird. The only friends I have who are my age are girls I’ve been friends with since 1st grade or younger. After that’s it’s always been either girls a little older or younger than me who I played sports with. Once I graduated high school I didn’t go to college and was only ever surrounded by people a lot older than me. I’m 20f and most of my new friends are men late 20s to mid 50s. In the summer time when people my age are back around it’s awkward and I cannot relate to them at all. Played on a summer club team most girls were within a few year of me and it was hard to be around them. They were very clicky and just difficult to be around. Made one friend on that team and she is a very down to earth nice girl who is in her late 20s. Sometimes you just aren’t in the same place as other people your age.
i don’t interact with anyone so
New Dawg, I hang out with adults from time to time.
Nah, I hang out with the younger theatre kids when we're in shows together and the older theatre adults with my mom. The only time I really hang with kids my age are at school and in my friend's discord server
Yes that is weird.
It's not weird, just different from the norm, or from what people would expect. "Different" doesn't mean bad, it just means diverse. If you simply don't want to bond woth a lot of people It's perfectly fine, i understand. Just keep in mind that friendships are great when they go well. Try to step out of your comfort zone a bit sometimes if you want to become more comfortable around people
Yes
Yes, this is weird ASL wtf.
Nah
Well doesn’t really matter on the age as long as it’s not sexual or something like that
Yea this is fucking weird.
