I can really relate to all of this because I'm 23 so close to your age and I too am an only child. I really don't feel comfortable around people my own age. I either like socializing with older people about 10-20 years older or playing with children. I think this is just part of my personality because I've always been this way especially when it comes to school and college. I can remember never really fitting in with kids at school and in high school I could not relate to kids my age. I always felt like they were immature, wild, boring, or extremely obsessed with sex. Most of the time I was at home on the computer because I just could not deal with them.
I find myself now being the hermit again even though I'm in college because all people do who are my age is either stare at me or act like complete immature idiots. I feel like I want to be an adult but everyone else my age wants to be a child. I guess I can't judge them because not everyone can be a quiet loner like me. The funny thing is, my son is only 3 and he only likes babies or kids much older than him. In his daycare class he does not like the children in his room and always plays by himself. He begs me almost everyday to go into the baby room. I wonder if he got it from me or it's just a coincidence?
Don't relate to people my own age very often.
