Are you more likely to look down on the thoughts of people way younger than you compared to people around the same age?
| This applies moreso to 90s babies: was skimming through some comments and came across one that I was wondering why it was so edgy over an unserious topic and then I clicked on their profile and saw they were born in 2002 lol. I lie to you not what I thought immediately was "oh just some virgin in high school who's trying to hard to be cool". You ever caught yourself doing something like this, where you think less deeply about the opinions of someone born in the 2000s... sorta like an elderly flex? |
| Everyone does, not just us 90s to 2000s. Eventually they'll do the same to the newer generation. It's pride instinct for being older, so yeah elderly flex. |
 |
| I don't think this goes one direction, to be honest. There are plenty of people who are my age, or older, that say and act contemptible. Anyone can act irrational or immature, regardless of age, and I would probably look down on them, to some degree, for their poor behavior. |
 |
| Yes, it is a bad habit. But you are not old xD. Older people tend to do it very often with generation Y. I do not think it's okay to say "you're probably between 9 and 16 years old". There are many smart young people. That they deserve respect. I do not judge much by age. |

Anyone can act irrational or immature, regardless of age, and I would probably look down on them, to some degree, for their poor behavior. Viltas said: Yeah, but most do so occasionally. You have to differentiate between habit and mindset. The latter is much worse and much more toxic as they're basically kids in an adult body. OT: Obviously you should value your own opinion more than let's say a kids or even your own kids, kids don't know what they're doing. But there is a certain novelty within a kids mind that no adult has, and it can seriously turn your thinking upside down as an adult. It is very important to listen to them from time to time. For your own sake as well. Yeah facts. There can be a stigma of maturity tied to age that I'm guilty of when I see stuff like that but I work with some childish 30 year olds, it really does go both ways. |
| I appreciate those who act mature, regardless of how old they may be. Like what Tenma said, many older people act immature and irrational. These people I do not associate with, for obvious reasons. It all depends on someone's character and the nature of their behavior. |

| Yeah, it’s a given. More so when they have a mental illness or identify with something socially unacceptable. I do it even if I’m wrong and their right. You like kpop? Your opinion doesn’t matter, I’m better than you You like anime? Your opinion doesn’t matter, I’m better than you You gay? Your opinion doesn’t matter, I’m better than you You “non-binary”? Your opinion doesn’t matter, I’m better than you Fucked up in the past? Your opinion doesn’t matter, I’m better than you Depressed? Your opinion doesn’t matter, I’m better than you The list goes on.... |

| Well, shit. Now i'm concerned if I posted an edgy comment somewhere since I was born in 2002. But regarding the OP, I usually try not to take age into consideration depending on what the topic is I guess. And if the person is making valid claims and is younger than I, so be it. But, if they're being moronic and immature, well, age plays a factor and I overlook their stupidity if they're young. (>12) |

| People much younger than me are teenagers. So, I try to take them seriously unless they're being little shits or fucking around. It's all about context. |

| I do feel that my opinions are superior only in virtue of my higher overall experience in life. Even though I'm not that old, I do feel that way to people >5 years younger than me. It is almost a fact that older people have more refined opinions, assuming the two sides (older and younger) are of the same intellect (?). But since this is usually not identifiable, I prefer to make myself feel relieved by thinking I'm better than some people rather than a complete trash of human that I actually am. |
| This is why I hide my age, so no one can see that I'm a kid. |

| Nah, more often than not I'm surprised by how much more knowledgeable teenagers are now than I was their age. Now, people older than me... If a teenager acts a lil dumb then I get it, because they're young. But I see people far older than I am acting terrible and it's like. You're 5+ years older than me. How are you acting worse and edgier than a literal child. |
 let's live heroically, let's live with style |
| the 'older individuals are wiser' mentality is prevalent in asia because they are expected to have more experience and higher education backgrounds thus they bring more knowledge and understanding of reality to them, which simply doesn't apply to everyone Id respect the opinions from people who are at least 10 years older than me but I wouldn't yield my opinions to them for younger kids I have to admit Id feel my thoughts are more mature and developed than theirs but still I would be glad to hear them out I've met middleschool kids with the brains of 30 year olds some of the kids thesedays are pretty precocious |
| yeah i understand what you mean. you ever been around a younger friend or younger relative who speaks on something to be smug or says something to appear more knowledgeable than they are? from your “elderly” perspective, they may have said something naive or shortsighted. it stems from a difference in perspective and experience, much like how democrats and republicans see things differently. now, i try my best not to disregard their opinion, as i try to view myself as if i were them. the difference in experience and perspective is something that is without objection, it exists as is. this reminds me of the traditional institutionalized treatment of upperclassmen and lowerclassmen, a concept i hated when i was in hs. there were some cool as hell lowerclassmen when i was a senior, and i felt bitter resentment when treated poorly as an underclassman. all people are not the same, but are equal. |

| It depends on the thought. In most cases I do not. |
 |
| A reflex... no, cause it depends on how they phrase their opinion. Though, this has nothing to do with age half the time as I've seen people say similarly stupid things when 15 and when 20+, so I look down at everyone who starts being silly :^) I do admit though that when we are having a conversation and I believe that the other person is wrong, because they know less/insist on something that's not correct, I tend to check age so I can have one more reason to say why they are being a noob about it. If they are young, they are being stupid but have time to grow and if they are 20+, then they are just being stupid <: |
   |
| I don't really look down on them. I just find it nostalgic or cute, because I immediately start imagining the things that must and will happen to them to change their mindset. Mostly though, I tend to overestimate the worth of opinions that come from youngsters. Even if those opinions aren't entirely correct, I applaud them for their foresight at their age nonetheless, unless, of course, they say something which they should've covered by their age. nicethings said: only if they act like they somehow are more knowledgeable than me. nobody likes a goddamn know it all. It's funny how your definition of a 'know-it-all' is literally someone who acts like he knows more than you lol. |
| No, age is pretty much independent from social maturity. If I call you a high school virgin, it means you're extremely naive and have a nervous expression written on your forehead. It has nothing to do with your age. If you're 25, and you talk about how much you hate women cause they're all shallow, you're a god damn high school virgin -- you never moved on from that stage. |

On topic: I am more likely to look down on someone who hasn't finished puberty and I ignore everyone who hasn't started it yet on general principle. Life experience is certainly overrated. There are too many people who lived through the same shit 20 times and didn't learn a single fucking thing, and then there are people who didn't experience it at all but know what to do the first time. Emotional maturity and rationality are king. Although it has to be said that emotional maturity and a generally rational mindset can be attained surprisingly early, it doesn't tend to happen before people are at least 17. Even that is sorta rare. Many people never get there at all. . |
| *lampoons inwardly* |
| Honestly no although if they think they're better than me it's an instant turnoff. |
| Life Is Short But Intense. |
| Nope, your thoughts are your thought and I take them as is. There's a lot that can factor into what someone has to offer you. |
 |
| I avoid it when I can. I see age only as an indirect indicator of a reason behind an opinion but i have to look down on it to begin with first. Age doesn't change my opinion. How a person acts isn't dependent on their chronological age but their experiences and outlooks. |

| How does it feel exchanging insults and cusses with a 13 year old kid? |
 張大です for 張大勇督察 |
| Not at all. I actually do believe people can be born more or less enlightened. |
| I CELEBRATE myself, And what I assume you shall assume, For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you. |
| I hate to admit it but I do to an extent. If you're 16 or younger I'm likely to treat you like a kid, I'll try my best to be objective but I can't change my unconscious bias. Kinda ironic since I joined MAL when I was 15 and thought I was super mature. I'm sure there are a few people on MAL who might still consider my age to be young. Maybe the fact that my younger sibling is 15 and I still treat him as a kid plays a part in my bias. |

I don't remember anything like that. But given your proclivity to ad hominem and illogical dismissals, I can see how I might have done something like it. |
| It depends in normal discussions for me it doesnt matter how old is the person with whom im talking but when you speak about Something in which you need alot od experience(years) like driving car , work , programming etc in these types the age really matters |
| It's been like that since ancient times. The elders were highly respected and children were always ignored. So these days, it's much better compared to the past. I tend to get along better with people way younger than me, compared to much older people. |
 |
| I don't care about the age. If your agrument and point of view is good. It's good. |

| nah lots of people say the dumbest shit, myself included. when i check up on their profile, they're often older me. |
| I look down on people based on what they say and/or do. Not based on other factors. It all comes down to what is said and what the supporting arguments for this are. |
 |
| no. just because someone's older doesn't mean they're smarter. politicians are a prime example |
| don't save her, she don't wanna be saved. |
| Maturity and Experience doesn't always come with age, there have been some really small-minded, inexperienced old people. In the end it's definitely naive to look down on someone based on their age. |
eek! |
| Age doesn't really define their knowledge imo. I respect their opinions when the credit is due. Sometimes they are even rational and smarter than me. Only when they do something that people my age or older don't do, that is when I try to understand them that it might be the trends in their areas or generation. I won't judge them because I hate to be judged as well. Unless they really do something offensive personally to me. Overall, I just feel neutral towards those who are younger and it's really cute when younger people, be it any ages that are younger than me, do something my age or older generation do. It's endearing :smiley: |
I feel so blue ... you are my world ... but you are not mine ♫    |
| Nah I look down upon all humans regardless of age <3 |
| depends on the content of there words. u can learn alot of things from all ages. |
| I judge everyone equally. And harshly. :D |
