What age range is easier to talk to?

Post Reply New Topic

I get bored trying to talk with older people, because I always find it annoying trying to mask my silly side and put on my "mature" mask on.

So I guess below 30

If the conversation is interesting I'll listen and talk to anybody.

Having extreme social anxiety, social awkwardness and limited communication skills: I find it hard communicating with human beings of any age that I do not know.

I'm 21 (NT) and I communicate most effectively with ages 8-14 and 30-110.

I'm pretty comfortable with talking to people my age and adults, though I can talk to kids as well. But I tend to connect a lot better with people my age and people who are older then me. I'm pretty sure the reason I connect with adults is because I'm actually mature. I mean, some people my age I can't really connect as I don't really connect with with the standard-minded people but rather I connect with people who are open-minded, creative, artistic individuals, which definitely helps me feel more comfortable in talk to them.

I find it easier to talk to people who are younger than me. I'm 25. I can talk to older people just fine though. I'm also good with working with kids since that's my job. In the past I would have said kids and older people are easiest to talk to but I guess I'm getting better at small talk.

I mostly interact with people who are at least a generation older or a generation younger. They have a different set of perceptions and insecurities and so we get along better. Something to learn, something to teach.

If I have to interact with my own age group, I prefer those who are for whatever reason outsiders in their own right. Less intimidating. The majority of people have something to offer me. These people, I have something to offer in return. There is some exchange, which I understand to be the basis of social interaction.

I couldn't really say, though I can say for certain that my own age range is the most difficult!

I see the exceptions within all age groups so I don't deny any particular group outright. Having said that, I do struggle to connect with teenagers. In my personal experience in dealing with children and older people, they've came across to me as being more honest in my presence and with themselves, which I have appreciated.

for me it depend on the gender and age
for men: any man between 20-60. I can talk well with
and any women over 35.
I don't do well with teenagers, young children of any sex
and women 20-early 30's

Frequently people a few years older than me, so 15 to 18. The two people that I felt I was most comfortable talking with are 16 and 18

When I was younger I had better luck with adults. Couldn't relate to children. Still can't, to be honest. They bug me. Sad but true.
Nowadays, I don't know who to talk to. Adults expect so much, children are...unmanageable...so I have no clue. It seems to vary from person to person, really. Some adults are fine. Others are very closed-minded.

Usually people who are younger than me because then I already know the way they talk and the kind of humour they have.

I tend to get along better with older people. When I was a child, IF I talked to anyone, it would be the teachers or the lunch ladies. Now that I am an adult (physically-speaking anyway...I don't always mentally feel like one...) I prefer to talk to adults still well older than myself. I do have a friend right now who is my age, but she is very tolerant so she accepts me as I am. Most of my friends are two or three decades older than me (not that I have many friends. My closest friend is 32 years older than me, and we have been terrific friends for the past 10 years now).

Older people.... At least for friendship and conversing, because other 20 year olds are so irresponsible and annoying, I'm not generalizing, but I get sick to death of hearing about people's boyfriends/girlfriends, swearing, popular singers, etc. nobody seems to car about arts, culture, education, language....etc. I like being with older people because they are respectful, mature, responsible, and educated. I'm not too superficial, I do have friends my own age and I enjoy many of the popular things like memes or face booking and some cool songs, but sometimes they're annoying.

If I feel like it I can talk to a 10 year old. But I always find it interesting to keep on talking to older people. Because they always somehow have more knowledge and I can feed off it forever

But new people are interesting too, then the age doesn't matter... until I guess they are not considered interesting or new any more.
