I have recently got into a hobby. I have kids and not much free time so wanted something easy I could get into, and it's something I was doing at uni as well (think something along the lines of film club, but the target audience is pretty narrow)... Turns out most people who are into it are at uni (still), and I am probably 10/15 years older than most people I chatted to, everyone is younger and single so lots of chat I do not participate in.
I have not been really self conscious about it, I don't ask anyone their age nor do I reveal mine, but someone is organising a meet-up during another bigger event and a lot of people from this particular forum will be attending. I was chatting to two people and one asked me if I would be coming and I mentioned that I was not sure as the big event runs over 3 days and I would need to sort out childcare for that particular day the meet up is. A super awkward silence followed and then they left the chat 🤣🤣🤣, like they suddenly realised we were not in early 20s.
I am in my mid 30s and never felt really old, until now.
Not sure what the point of this is except that I should probably buying myself a coffin as I'm so old?
Do I need something different to do with my time?(Probably yes!). What do people in their 30s/40s do for fun?
