Is friendship possible between two persons of age difference?

In the course of my work I meet people from different generations. While it is easy to win friendship of people of my age group and quite often of people older than me. However, younger people perhaps have enough friends among their age group. They don't accept friendship from a senior person. I might be wrong, and there might be exceptions too. Please share your thoughts on this topic.

I work with a lot of younger people and I have developed friendships with them. I think you can be friends with people from different generations. You may talk about different things or do different things together depending on their age but I believe it is possible.

Of course it is! I am friends with many young people some of whom actually respect my senior years!

It depends of the person. It is the common interests that make a friendship.

Am friends with many people younger than me and it's great having them as friends so far, so I think it's good to have younger friends

When I was 25 one of my best friends was 64 
she was a joy to be around . I miss her very much.

My husband and I have made friends with someone in his 20s. He is the son of a friend and he visits us from time to time. Sometimes he comes to stay for a few days. He likes having discussions with us, especially about politics, traveling, and world happenings.

I think you can definitely be friends with people from other generations. It really depends on the people.

Anything is possible. Depends upon mutual interests.

Friendship l think never depends on the age group. It only depends on your thoughts. Its quite natural all are having different thoughts. The thing is to you should place yourself in the situation of your friends and then take the decision.

I went back to school to finish my Masters degree in Business Administration when I was in my fifties and my classmates and teachers were a lot younger than I am but I enjoyed going out with my classmates who are in mostly in their 30's. I asked if they would welcome a double millennial and they obliged

I think age doesn't matter for friendship, when I used to work I had people way older than me, we could find topics to talk on, the same.

Maybe they are just shy or have the inhibitions to talk with older people and not really they don't like.

Um ... good question. I do not think that friendship can be developed, because differences in years make us different in the way we think.
