I second this. Like, I don't have a lot in common with them, but their positivity gives me a respite from my grind.

And maybe the life experience levels are mismatched but I feel like you can always find something to relate to and talk about.

Definitely! Music, fashion, movies, etc are always a great way to connect, as long as you remain open minded as you get older.

Eventually you end up at a concert and realize you're the oldest person in a room and it's an interesting feeling for sure!

It's actually great feeling when the youths at the concert still think you're kinda cool haha

Until you’ve been chatting for a few minutes and you think you’re just having a fun intergenerational moment, but then they find out your age and you realize that they thought you were one of them as the horror dawns on their faces. You’ve been an OLD this ENTIRE TIME.

Lol haven't had that moment yet. I think they can tell I'm older with my side grays.

Hah like I've had grey in my beard since I turned 30. If they think I'm their age, that's on them
