Is it weird that I'm an adult but I tend to relate more to people who are not my age? I feel a lot of empathy for the younger people on RS.

I do too honestly, it's weird because when I was much younger I felt much the opposite, only relating to folks that were older than me. Looking back though I'm starting to realize it was more because I played games with them more than the fact of them being older

I sometimes relate more with older people, so I guess it has to work the other way too lol

I do get that.. though I think it is because the "adults" we got to know are just more conservative than we are and we are stuck in younger and free ways of thinking?

No, adults are super fucking stuck-up(especially to kids even tho they used to be a kid) but we have no pride and are usually approachable towards people, esp adults because we look up to them.

idk if it’s weird or not but i can say you’re not alone, having similar feelings toward my younger homies

Not weird, we've lived our younger ages and it's nice to see what younger people are up to now. Especially since you're not grumpy like me.

nope, as a younger person the opposite tends to happen more, where i feel more empathy towards adults then my own age group
