Is it normal that i don't really meet anyone my own age anymore?

I'm 25. When I was around 18, it seemed like there were tons of other 18-year- old's everywhere (not just my classmates.) Now I feel like I don't see anyone my age at all, unless I go to a bar. Even at jobs I've had, everyone had been around the 18-20 year old bracket or at least in their 40's. Why is this?

    I despise people my own age too.
    They all think they are better than me.

    I just turned 19, and for some reason, I just seem to gravitate toward people older than me. Almost everyone I know (not counting my siblings and parents) is at least 7 years older than me. The non-relatives that I'm closest to tend to fall in the range of being 10 to 60 years older than I am.

    Are you in a gateway job? The kind of job that people get when leaving school until something better comes along? They naturally have a surfeit of younger employees who then leave naturally (which gives a dip in twentysomethings and thirtysomethings). The people who never find something else just stay on for life, explaining the older people there.

    • That's a very good point. I worked lots of crappy retail jobs, so I guess you could classify those as gateway jobs.

        Don't take it as a true answer. It's just something that occurred to me based on my own employment history. My first and second jobs were at a bingo hall and an all-night petrol station. Everyone was either 18, like me, or in their fifties or sixties. Nobody in their twenties or thirties worked there.

    At least you're not meeting 15 year olds.
