What age range is easier to talk to?

Post Reply New Topic

I find it easier to talk to children rather than adults (this is part of the reason i want to be a teacher). Do others find those older, younger or the same age easier to talk to?

Definitely younger. Less expectation of social norms.

Unless you're talking about my younger siblings - All but the youngest of them tend to be bias against me ;_;

Yep same reason

Nope, when I was a kid I couldn't relate to anyone my age.
I'd verbally spar with full grown adults by age 10.

Now that you are an adult can you still relate to them? because when I was little I also couldn't relate to children and I could to adults but now when I'm expected to relate to adults/teenagers I find it very hard and find my self being able to talk to children much more easily.

Still pretty young, so no. I am better at talking to older people.
People in their late 20's, and early 30's get along with me better than anyone.
I have younger siblings and I get along with them very well.
Thing is, they are cool little girls.
I find all their little friends annoying and cannot be in the same room with them for more than a few minutes.
My siblings are my siblings, though, so of course I can get along with them.
I think the general idea here is the same.
You are simply more attuned to be young-minded and I'm more attuned to being old-minded.
Doesn't mean we any more or less mature than one another.
I used to know a fellow who only hung out with people his younger (me being one of them).
I suspect he may have had Asperger's.
Children and old folks have something wise and cerebral about them that you don't notice unless you aren't one of them.

I'm 23, and I'm most comfortable talking to those who are roughly at my age.

Adolescents: They often make fun of me, so I avoid me.
Children: I don't talk children so often, and when I do, I have no idea what to do.
Older than me: No real problem, but their life is often quite different from mine. (They have a job, a family, etc.)

Everyone except those people who are around the same age as me.
Pretty much noone is easy to talk to, though.

Younger, due to their less understanding or maturity or whatever.
But like 14-15 ish, not like little kids.

Though I do enjoy just spending time with people in general. Manhood or whatever it is is coming.

Though I do relate to the previous poster in that I would like talk to adults when I was little.

I don't have much trouble with people in their mid 20s and older.

For the most part the early 20s. If I'm lucky, people my age....

Hmm interesting how come people say young adults are easier to talk to. I'd like to know what it is that you find easier about them

As a child until I was about 20, I only felt comfortable speaking to adults over 30. The older the better.

Now that I'm an adult (27), I feel most comfortable speaking to children aged 3-6 years old. Fortunately, that's my job.

I've never felt comfortable talking to older kids (about 8+) or teenagers. Especially teenagers. *shudder*

I'd say people close to my age. Anyone college age till 30 probably. Older people, I sometimes find them boring or not very relatable. Sorta have to be on good behavior. As for kids/teens, well Im not very good with people when they have a lower maturity level and I sorta have to be the leader. See when I started socializing around 17, 18, I was so immature for my age that I was sorta the kid. I held that "kid" role in the friendship, then I worked my way up to having friends of an equal level of maturity by the time I was 21. Never knowing how to take the upper hand in the relationship.
