My nephew just turned 13 a few days ago and he said this to me. Gotta say, it really made me feel old. And then he showed me a bunch of TikTok videos he thought were hilarious and I really really felt old.

tl;dr: being 38 is weird and I have little in common with people even vaguely outside my immediate age

I'm 38 and find myself in such a weird place, socially. I have a friend who is 36, and I knew him since I was 17, and I remember thinking back then how weird it felt having a friend so much younger than me. Now he's the person I know who's the closest in age to me. I'm also finding that for the first time in my life I'm not the youngest one in the group. In fact, in one of my friendship circles, I'm the second oldest and it's loving weird. I also used to be attracted to much older women; now those "much older women" have gone through menopause and could be grandmothers. Grandmothers!!! I also used to just find any woman attractive, but I live in a college town and I see like 20 year-old women who are objectively hot but I can't look at them because I feel like I'd just be a weird old man eyeing young women but also, like, these are people I have so little in common with, what would we even talk about? I could never have a relationship with anyone that young. I start thinking about what my cutoff is, like at which point would someone be too young for me to feel compatible with. It feels like anyone not in their 30s would be intolerable to try and maintain a real relationship with. My mother was eleven years younger than my father, but -- my ex was only one year younger than me and she's actually the only -- what the gently caress was I talking about? Oh, right, also, I find this weird generational division that I've never had before, where like a friend who is four years younger than me, did not grow up with the same music, movies, video games, cartoons, even though we are basically the same age.

If I stop spinning the plates do I die sooner?

I'd say "asking for a friend", but I have no friends.

Have you guys tried just buying stuff and watching sports to distract yourself

And video games?

I'm in my late 30s (nearly my last 30s) and I don't think my age has contributed in any way to my enjoyment of life, I just have more money to distract myself with now than I did in my 20s.

I work in video games, so I kind of have the opposite experience; I’m over 40 but I’m so steeped in internet culture as a result of keeping up with industry trends that I relate really well to people younger than me but we never hang out because I have kids and they’re out late partying.

You still get the occasional hyper-aging moment when you’re telling someone about a game you played in high school and they’re like “that came out before I was born”.

He's said that he started stealing his uncle's cigarettes and smoking them at 8.

Also, he's a Christian Scientist for life and did a vanity project extolling the virtues of Mary Baker Eddy, so he's not a paragon of virtue or anything.

(I saw the Amazon documentary when it popped up because I was like "oh, Val Kilmer, haven't heard from him in a while wonder what he's up to" and then as I watched I was like "huh...well.....I guess I'll appreciate the acting he's done but guy himself doesn't seem great").
