It’s peoples personalities that you connect with, which largely stay the same. I’m mid 30s and have friends from 20s-60s. I’d be really sad if some of my older friends decided I was too young to be friends with.

A friend is a friend, age shouldn't matter really. I have friends of all ages.

I think this sounds ridiculous tbh. Assuming you haven’t been through an intense, life changing event you’re probably the same person in most respects as you were when you were 29. People don’t change species because they have moved into a new decade.

If you mean you aren’t interested in going out drinking etc then that’s totally fine and fair but its not to do with having reached some arbitrary line in the sand.

You don’t sound older

I think this is quite strange to be honest... surely your friends will soon be turning 30 too? I'm in my late 20s and have friends from early 20s - 50s!

And yet you are comfortable posting this on a site predominantly populated by a much wider age range? Bizarre.
