Do you like to get along with people older than you or younger than you?

For me, I prefer to get along with people younger than me. Because for people younger than me, I feel I am their sister and they will listen to my words. So I will feel I am the leader and this makes me feel good about myself. But this is the opposite for people older than me. What about you?

Either way, I can manage. When you get along with older people (I mean not too old; maybe 3-6 years older than you do), you get to have a very sensible discussion with you. You can really learn good things from them. There are some also who have their bad vibes, but I always feel proud of myself whenever I change their bad status or I can keep myself from being influenced by these people. On the other side, younger people are fun to be with. You can easily get along with them especially those who are just few years younger than you do. They listen to you as if you are their great master which I find very fulfilling because I intend to teach them good things. Sometimes I get too humorous when I mingle with them. I also love going out with children. HAHA. They're too cute. Though I will surely be exhausted running with them but I always find myself happy as I go back to my childhood years. :)

I would enjoy getting along with both camps. Older people give deeper insights of realities in life as what they share are mostly based on real life experiences they have had. Being with the younger generations creates vigor as the youth are full of passion, and i find their enthusiasm for creating or trying new ideas very inspiring most of the time.

I get alone with people easily and I don't think there it is a big issue for me because I am a nice person. Lol. That is true. But, I felt that it is easy for me to get along with people who belong to my age group or people who are younger to me. People who are elder have the tendency to force thngs. I don't like it when people compell me to do things or interfere in my personal affairs.

well i used to like hanging out with the people younger than me, but as time passed it seems as if i'm already worn out of hanging with them. like i'm yearning for the elders' sense and perception on things. :) it's probably because i didn't find comfort in the idea of slowly adapting the nature of the young crowd, the level of thinking is just different, and not everybody is a big fan of what they perceive as `hermits`. :(: but i do get along with them though, now i'm just trying my best to get out of their business and let them figure things out on their own. so there, that's just what i thought. happy mylotting! ;)

i tend to get along with iether ages so i have a lot of friends. if i get together with older people, i always get a mature discussion so i enjoy it. while interacting with younger ones sets me as a big brother and it's also good to feel young as they are.
