Do you connect with people your age?

I don't at all. People my age are married, with kids and grandkids and either retired or about to retire and they have their lives together. The women have all cut their hair in pixies and wear polyester pants and eyeglasses with chains. I just have nothing to talk to them about. I've never had kids and my husband is late. I feel like I am still 25 inside and am always so shocked to see how old I am in the mirror and I just get along better with young people.

No. Even as a child, I have always felt “old”. I blame my mom for leaving me with my grandpa a lot (he was born in 1936). His personality shaped mine. Idk I never really felt like I belonged with my peer group. I don’t really associate being old with being lame. I think it’s mostly because I’m into first wave punk, so all the old people I have met as an adult are old school punks/goths. So we have a lot in common.
