It would depend on the age gap.

The post, with using “a little older” as a relative term, is implying the gap would be about 2-3 years older. (Can be slightly wider depending on the age of the group) It could however be ill-fitted if the eldest was something like 30 and the group were all 20.

Yo, to be clear; she stated her age in the first sentence bro.

Shes clearly not pretending she’s anything other than what she is.

For that matter, I’ve never met a 32yr old who was ashamed to be 32. Male or female. So pretending to be otherwise WOULD be creepy.

I’ve been 32. 32 was AWESOME. It’s like being 27 but 5 years smarter and with more money. ;)

People tend to deviate in one of two ways as they age, either they are all about everyone’s business, maybe helpful, maybe not, maybe pleasent, maybe not. Busybodies. PTA people. Karen’s.

Or, they tend to care more about their own opinion of their self than what anyone else thinks about them. Tend to be more goal focused, the kind of goal is irrelevant. There’s a picture in their head of who they are trying to be and everything they do is in comparison to that. Other people see their wins, most of these people just see their continual falling short of their mental ideal and can carry a rather bleak opinion of theirselves, which is unfortunate and almost assuredly inaccurate.

People are either looking for solutions or digging for problems.

Like I think homegirl here is just like “fuck chill y’all”. She’s not about becoming the girl with the “thing”, like a cat lady, or girl who peddles to work on her Schwinn, the girl that can quote every primetime cartoon show of the past 15 years, or philosophy/political girl. And intead of just being allowed to be it seems others throw weight on in her cuz her age and she feels it necessary to deflect the “community mom” trope away from her.

Ive spoken with plenty intelligent 21y, plenty stupid as fuck 45y, and plenty normies folk just doing their thing. Age isn’t as important to yr journey as young people put it, tho what importance or DOES have increases as you do. At least the older you get the more you tend to know exactly what you want or need (from experience).
