In conversations with others. "Oh, yeah- he's about the same age as me and Sarah."
"I love Sandra Bullock. She would have been in HS the same time as Sarah and me." It's oddly annoying in a huge way. |

| You are about the same age. |

About is not same. The other lady knows this and is trying to appear younger. Why is the question. |

| Are you in your teens or 20s? No? Then <10 years is about the same age. |

| I mean, you are about the same age. |

| She's accurate and you need to get comfortable with aging. |

| You are. In adult years, if you can remember the same things or were teens at about the same time - you are about the same age. You were both in high school and college around the same time. You’re in the same generation friend. |

| Oh my word. Let this go. Small potatoes. You know she’s self-conscious about her age. Don’t sink to the same level and correct her. |

Who cares. The older you get, you are in fact, "about the same age." Why she needs to put your name in her sentence we may never know. Call her out and you may appear foolish. Other than your *much younger* friends, no one cares. |

Yeah, this is your issue. Once you’re old enough to drink, 5 years is close enough that you two are essentially the same age. Sorry! |

| Five years is nothing. If she were 10+ years older than you I would agree with you. |
