Personally I like people around my age, but I occasionally like to strike up a conversation with people older than me to get a taste of their lives, but fuck them kids bro, annoying ass pieces of shit

I personally talk to people around my age, as it should naturally be when you're a teenager and below. The oldest I'd probably be close to irl would be 2 years, I might consider 3 because of the course years but they'd be gone from the university in a couple of months so that sort of seems pointless, but I'd still try to make friends with them if I had the chance. As for online, probably the same thing. MAL? Honestly, I don't mind the age because this feels like a small community on its own. I've got trauma from my father who fucking called the police to our house just to tell me to not talk to older men or men in general, it depends; I won't mention more of that crap (I wasn't and had legitimate proof but okay paranoid family thanks for scarring me tyvm you're so amazing it's almost as if I can't talk to people anymore without feeling like I'm going to be abused but I do it anyway nowadays even if I don't want to because I'm so alone haha thanks for parenting me).

In public, I generally only speak to people who appear to be 40+ years old, as I have a staunch hatred towards young people.

Young people are ignorant, and generally come across as cold and unfriendly, so I avoid them. I won't even make eye contact with them.

People around my age or older but I enjoy talking to younger folks as well. It actually just depends on the person.

I hate talking to older people because all they do is ask you what you’re doing with your life and then try to give you some sort of advice.

I don’t connect with people my age, I just don’t care about what they have to say or what their interests are. The only time I have fun with others is when we’re doing some sort of actual activity

Kids are cool though.

It's easier talking to older people. One can have stiff relationships with them, while younger people often require loose relationships. That is to say, expectations and consistency.

To contrast this, it's easier talking to younger people in the contexts of subjects and crafts one feels a mastery in, but how often is that?

he is right, young people tend to be more toxic, although he is exaggerating a bit tbh.

I spent my entire childhood playing my grandparent's old records, so I only like old music, and I had a hard time relating to other people my age. High school was the worst. I hated being around other teenagers, and spent most of recess and lunch time talking to the teachers, as I had more in common with them than people my own age.

At 32, I hate young people more than ever.

I skipped a grade going into school, so ive always been pretty much the youngest in my grade throughout school, so i felt i had the maturity age of my peers/grade rather than my age itself, since school is where i spent most of my time. I felt much more comfortable and liked being friends with people in my grade or grades above rather than grades below which i “should have” been in based on my age. In freshman year i had sophomore and junior friends, but not a single one still in middle school, despite them being closer to my age.

I find it hard to relate to people my age and older due to gap in life experience. so I voted younger as it is less intimidating. I think people can still be chill regardless of age.

Its a mix between people younger than you and people around your age.

-I met several people 10-12 years or a few years older than me acting like annoying brats like a real teen in their worst moments and some were very recent. Looks like aging made people more angry. Other older people are busy in real life so no much contact there. Kinda funny since I acted like that years ago, now im more happy than before.

-People around my age? They could be cool for a friendship, its a mix of bad people and good people. They work or study and sometimes I can't talk to them a lot while I am 23 yo NEET.

-People younger than my age? I prefer talking to them since they don't have as many responsibilities as I do. Ironically in real life and online I look and act like a 16-19 yo so it's easier to interact with them.

-And, not in general, but I have bad experiences talking with 13-14 yo just like with older people than me, they act too childish and they're not funny. And I don't know why but it makes me angry when they create drama for stupid things and tried to look smart but hey, they're just teens, we all did something stupid at that age.

Soo....
-Older than me? NO
-Around my age? Maybe..
-Younger than me? Yes.
-<15? NO.

I like younger people's innocence (they are cute, boys or girls, lol), I like older people's wise views and I like to discuss many things with someone around my age. I don't have certain preferences and there are toxic people on all age. I find myself more comfortable with younger people though because "being polite to someone older than you" is a thing here and I usually try to not offend people older than me in any ways.

People younger are fun and chill, people my age share the same humor and people older are on the same wavelength than I am. I don't know, I like all three options. Though most often I vibe with older people.

people around my age totally, I mean early 30s or late 20s. older people are ok but not between 60-79, those guys are former communists and ceausescu-lovers. younger people are idiots, kids are ok. older than 80 are cool to talk to, they are really wise

People around my age. Since I'm a minor and a girl I have to keep my guard up when speaking with people much older than me online. Most people older than me are polite and good, but it's really hard to trust people online. I'm not a fan of speaking to people younger than me because they tend to be immature and say annoying stuff like "send feet pics" or they try to cancel me because I unironically enjoy Hetalia. Also it's feels pretty weird when I see that a 13 year old has seen hundreds of hentai and ecchi.

Slightly younger. People my age or older tend to be very jaded, and not as open about the kind of interests we might share.

If I had to group them by ages, I guess those in their 80s. They take things easy and though they believe in their own values, the ones I converse with also like to understand other values. 90 year olds are also interesting but much more fragile and sometimes different word-use.

Talking to little kids is a joy to do and it really lightens up my mood. It’s fun because you can act like you know more than them and they can’t do anything about it 😂
But not to the point where it’s cruel, ofc. Little kids are smarter than you think.

Definitely people who are older than me. I like talking to people whom I can learn from without being condescending. I do still converse with people who are my age, though it’s nothing as deep and meaningful most of the time.

I don't really have a preference. As long as others want to talk to me then I'm usually willing to do so. Well, offline/with voice I guess. I have a limit for online and texting because I don't actually like those too much.

i usually like talking to older ppl more. Ppl from the same country as me (Brazil) usually on my experience and opinion r more mature than ppl from the same age on other countries like US and Canada, so if its a Brazilian few years younger than me or same age its fine too. Not saying im super mature or anything, cuz im not, but i just identify more w ppl from this other countries when they r older for some reason lmaooo

People that are either around the same age as me or older. I've never been good with people younger than me and all my friends are either the same age as me or like 5-10 years older than me.
