Question #139


Question #39 from "The Book of Questions" by Gregory Stock, PH.D ...

Do your close friends tend to be older or younger than you??

Any idea why??

Huh, never thought about that. Hmm right now it seems younger, I think it's because I'm getting older. DANG! Thanks a lot!

They are all about my same age, give or take.

Well ... I have one friend who is about to turn the BIG 5-0 ... which is WAAAAYYY older than me ... so I have to razz her ...

I have a friend in her 20's ... another in her 30's ... several in their 40's (including me), and several in their 50's. Not too many in their 60's or 70's yet.

I always tend to feel my friends are equal to me ... so maybe our souls are about the same ages ...

Most of my friends are within 5 years of my age. No reason, maybe we just have more in common than people much younger or older.

Interesting.
I really never thought of this before but I have close friends that are older and close friends that are younger.
I enjoy them equally.

QUIT HAVING "CLOSE FRIENDS" LONG
TIME AGO.THEY DIE OR MOVE OR WANT
TO BORROW MONEY. ACQUAINTENCES ARE
MUCH BETTER. MOST OF THOSE ARE
WITHIN THE +-5yr mark.
NOTHING IN COMMON TO TALK TO YOUNG
PEOPLE AND THE OLD ONES [LIKE ME]
IT'S JUST COMPARE ACHES/PAINS, OR
IF REALLY TALKING, THE WEATHER.

I have some that are older and some that are younger. Never really thought about it. I guess we just naturally gravitate to people with the same interests and who are stimulating and fun to be around, and you feel at ease with them.

The most recent years, it seems that the people I learn the most from are older than I am. I am just so darn mature that i have to hang out with older, wiser peeps so that we can be on the same "LEVEL" :) hee hee

PS one thing I really love about you CinCin is that you do treat me as equal and not someone you have to constantly 'mother' or give advice to. I have an older relative/friend who drives me nuts with the advice thing. If she truly knew me she would know that I am stubborn and hard headed and have to learn things the hard way DAMMIT!
