Younger Friends

OP, don't make it a thing

They are probably having plenty of get togethers without you. So, there's that.

Enjoy whatever the four of you can share!

I became friends with someone in the neighborhood 20 years older than I. It had a little bit of a feeling of an older sister (I don't have any sisters). After awhile, almost a decade, I did wish it to be more like equals. I didn't quite feel that I was being respected as her equal. So, that has hindered our relationship a bit in the long term.

We had a friendship with a couple. They were 20+ years older than us. We were right in-between the age of their adult children and themselves. I think we filled-in for their adult children, sometimes. They use to call us when they wanted to get together but the adult children had their own plans. We had some great times together.

Im 51 and one of my closest friends just turned 80. Friendship can transcend age.

This is all in your head.

Enjoy them as individuals. That seems to be how they are seeing you.

I have both younger and older friends. That is not odd for adults.
