Therefore, this forum is very useful! (heh, Law of Attraction at work, I conclude). |
I'm 26 and would say the same exact thing as you, that most people even remotely close to my age don't understand or care about these things. This has been the case since I was a teenager. What's made things even worse is growing up in small towns around the midwest where the predominate pastime is getting wasted.
I have always been able to relate to folks twice my age though. I have a few friends around my age but most are 30+. I work with people who are on average 50 something and get along with them much better than with the 30-something average aged people at my last job. Some of the deepest conversations I've had have been with my aunts and my mom!
I don't think I've ever kept my PD stuff a secret though, which might be why I've always felt like I repel most people. Bringing up anything even remotely profound seems to have always backfired for me. I also never usually enter into any sort of drama either. Unconsciousness can't stand the light of consciousness, right?
I've had an intention to be able to connect with other like minded people for some time and here it is!
