Is it ok to hangout with people way older than you?

Is it okay to spend time with people who are significantly older than you? I’m 16 and a girl, and I don’t really connect with peers my age. Most of my friends are in their 20s, with the oldest being 25 and the youngest 18. While I do have some friends my age, I’m curious if it’s considered strange to hang out with people who are much older. What do you think?

  1. It’s completely okay to hang out with people who are older than you, especially if you feel more comfortable connecting with them. Friendships are built on shared interests and values, not just age. Just be mindful of the dynamics, especially when it comes to activities and topics of conversation that might not be appropriate for your age. As long as you feel respected and safe in those friendships, there’s nothing wrong with having older friends. Just make sure to maintain a balance and have relationships with peers your age as well, so you don’t miss out on experiences and connections that are part of being a teenager. Ultimately, it’s about what feels right for you.
