But seriously..
Same… I feel like I’m from a different planet. Been in the game for a while now. This year I just feel … out of it.
Have you started with the basic small talk stuff? Don’t need to overthink it; just have a simple convo. Where did you go to school, where are you from, what did you do this weekend, ask about siblings/pets/hobbies. Ask about career stuff - what are you working on; how do you like it so far; what are you interested in. I don’t think it matters that you aren’t in the same stage of life as them and you can’t always relate to eachother. Just showing an interest in them is often enough.
I understand what you are trying to say. I have felt the same way too. This is probably because of generational gap. I try to understand their nuances and not be judgey of their overall perspective. I also show interest in the things that they like and find something in common.
I’m 33 and don’t have half of the lingo these kids are using. I sometimes can tell if it’s good or bad haha.
