Older gamers

[Penthea]

You're too young to be worried about being old... :P

You say that but I have come across some players who claim they're getting old because they hit their mid-20s. When you see that in your 30's it's just -_-

Sometimes younger players tend to assume someone older won't be interested in hanging with them which can lead to unintended exclusion.

Some people mature slower so you do find some in their early 20s who act like teenagers, which can then lead to the older player excluding themselves.

This one isn't a problem for me, but I know it's been a problem for others. Some tend to look at older players as a figure of authority or wisdom which can lead to an unwanted expectation of being a leader or a source of advice, when all that person wants to do is chill and game.

Most tend to not care much for age but people unintentionally making the age gap feel like a negative thing does happen, which then can lead to feeling out of place.

I rarely come across actual issues due to my age, but there have been times in the past when I have felt like I didn't belong because of the above happening. Presently I hang around people who honestly make me forget that I'm quite a bit older than some of them
