Not a huge fan of people the same age

is it just me? I feel like they are all not very nice people. They always have a "I'm better than you" attitude. I'm 27 btw. But yeah, my best friends are 2 years older and one is a year younger and they are great. Even in uni-the ones who are the same age are *rolls eyes* and I always found it easier to make friends with the ones who were a few years older.

27 and 29 is barely even an age gap. Not sure what 'the same age' really means if you're not including one year younger or two years older.

I often found that people in my immediate peer group liked to compete a little too much, very often. By that I mean mostly people in a similar age group. And I mean unhealthy, petty competitions. Nonverbal crap like who gets to open the door first. Instead of just acting natural and going with the flow.

Passive aggressiveness. That's it. I forgot the phrase.

I don't know why this is necessarily. Or rather, I don't have any handy generalisations to explain this behavior. Perhaps it's the case than when I hang around older people, or younger people... the majority of the 'pecking order' sort of feels like it's naturally already been established by virtue of our age gaps, and so people feel less need to 'prove themselves'. I don't know. I don't care to be honest.

Anyway, I'm slowly approaching the age where people stop asking your age basically. So it hardly matters anymore. Similar age as yourself by the way.

Hopefully not the same age or you guys won't get along

Yes. I’m a bit confused by the thread.

Nonverbal crap like who gets to open the door first, or take up the most leg room. Instead of just acting natural and going with the flow.

If you meant people in the same yeargroup I would understand- I never liked them either but two years is practically the same age?
