Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.


RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

Not at all. I’m 36 but I still feel like I’m in my 20s (that is, until I’m actually around people in their 20s).

This. It probably is a mix of holding onto being "young" while also being "flash frozen" due to the last decade or so of global politics and events.

Way the opposite. I feel like the people around me (specially those of my same age group or older peers) want me to feel it.

I realize that for many things, my points of view, for example on how to spend my free time or on things that, with age tend to become conservative, such as immigration or lgbtq+ matters, I retain the same progressive views I had in my 20's so, specially at work, people tend to make me feel as if I never grew up.

Apparently, around here, when you get to your 30's and beyond, videogames become a taboo, anime too, and you must get a hobby in line with your age, such as soccer or, lately, following wackos on facebook spewing insane crap.

You also have to start being racist and bigot.
