hi, i'm sorta having a similar thing too and wonder where to meet these people, but i just try to make conversation with everyone i meet because they could always be a potential friend who is interested in talking about more conscious things and that has been working.

i dont see why you shouldn't hang out with people who are older than you, i'm in my early twenties and have a few friends in their late twenties/early thirties who are interested in this kinda thing. of all my friends my age, only about 40% seem to take interest in talking about life purpose topics, and thats ok, i spend more time with them and less time with the friends that talk about who they boned last night.

maybe if you're at university there's some clubs- cultural, philosophy etc you could join. i was an international student mentor at university and that was really cool as i met lots of people from different cultures and i had some very interesting conversations.

i think its just a matter of connecting with someone who is on the same wavelength, take the opportunity to meet new people and take your time to build fulfilling relationships.

oh yeah listen to music that has thought provoking lyrics is always good when you cant talk to someone!
