Do you get along better with older or younger people?

Question

InventorofWarp · Accepted Answer

Typically I'm more in tune with the older crowd.
I say that but I don't really think 30s-50s is very old tbh. But my best friend is in her early 40s and married with a career she's been at for years whereas I'm in my mid-20s, perpetually single and clueless and completely fucking chaotic in my attempts to try and break into my field.
She and I also like to frequently joke around about our ages and how I'll have to take care of her when she's elderly as I'm the closest thing to a kid she has. I also call her "Leherin" which, in my native tongue translates closest as "Mistress" or "Teacher" and she tends to call me "Boy".
When I was a teenager my closest friend was also in his early-60s and taught me a ton of shit. My love of tattoos and bikes comes from him ontop of some tricks on the guitar and smoking.

I get along with most people, age does not really factor in to it.

having been in the Air Force, you get used to working and socialising with 17 yr olds and 54 yr olds.

Same with my current job, while the majority are 20’s we also have 30’s, 40’s and 50’s

I value Anyones opinion irrespective of age, some of our young trainees provide excellent insight to things at times.

I do not get along with people my age. Funnily, I get along very nicely with people who are either younger than me or older than me.

Even if a person is like a year or two younger than me, I get protective over them, and start acting like their guardian or something lmao. Its kinda weird, but I dont really have a younger sibling, so lol

And as for older, when I talk to people my age, I am able to gain insight and see their point of view on different things. I learn from their mistakes.

Both as long as we have compatible personalities, interests and lifestyles
You can usually find things in common with anyone, and being an older friend to someone is an opportunity to be a positive role model for another person.

I prefer to talk to older people because I figured if anyone has experience about life and how to navigate it would be my elders. Generally older people like me because I respect their values and I try to understand things from their perspective while educating them on the new perspectives of my generation and the new ones

EssenceOfLight · Answer

Age doesn't matter. Older people are usually more polite and less offensive but they can't hide their true nature forever. Younger people appear often childish and superficial but sometimes there is more than their less interesting facade of their personalities.

TheSpaceGnome · Answer

Usually I get along best with people age 12 to 25, but exceptions exist. For some reason it's rare to not become a jaded asshat when you get to your 30s, I still have the sense of joy, wonder and awe I had growing up. I also still have the same interests and hobbies. Basically I didn't let society kill off my mind.

EvilAngel114 · Answer

When I was younger, I got along better when older people. Now that I’m older…usually people my age. Some older and a sprinkle of people younger that are mature enough to carry good conversation.

CasstheLass · Answer

I seem to get along with all kinds of people, it doesn’t really matter if they’re older or younger to me because age in most cases is just a number.

jennifer_bloom · Answer

I voted younger people cause older people are more likely to criticize you if you do something wrong, and usually it’s unintentional.

ShadezMcgee · Answer

Honestly, I get along with people who are older than me over people my age. I find it extraordinarily hard to do it with people my age. Really don't feel like I belong or fit with my generation.
