Just wondering if this is just me or what this could be…

I am 5 years younger than my brother and his friends, but when I was like 20 (they were 23-25) we still partied together etc. but it was always this thing me and my friends were always the “kids”.

Which actually makes sense.

My brother showed me pictures of all of us on christmas and even if I look at the pictures now (I am 34 now) if I were to be able to travel to that moment at my current age in that picture I’d still feel like they are more “adult” than me.

Not even more adult in sense of responsible, but on the pictures they are all so big, beards,…

I think I’d still have difficult time connecting with them properly even though I’d be older in my unrealistic scenario of porting me into that picture at my age.

Anyone else experience something simular?

This isn’t actually something I am making up. I went to Thailand last year (33 years old) and went into a hostel that I stayed back in 2016, so almost 10 years ago.

I swear all the 22 year olds were the cool dudes and I felt out of place again, just like back then. I wasnt into partying like that but just by the look of some dudes it’s insane. I thought someone was about my age, turned out he just turned 20.

Im not unmuscular but not too muscular either, I climb regulary so just an average dude. People even thought I’m 20 omg.
