text: why do i dislike my peer group? for all of my life, i have been far more able to connect with and befriend adults, about 10 years older than myself. i have social anxiety, but it only really affects me when i am in, say, a theatre, where there are many young people. i personally am 20 years old, and i really, really dislike my peer group (15-25).  what do you think is the reasoning for this? why is it that i dislike my contemporaries... it seems as if all of my friends will die of old age years before i do.
