I will say as a preface to this post that I dearly love my young friends. I honestly do.
But sometimes, it don't half hurt to be friends with them. Like when a group of us are talking, most in their 20s, plus me, and one of them talks about how gross it is when some old person hits on them, "all grey hair and wrinkles in their 50s".
Like...ouch? I mean, yes, it's a little creepy when someone that age hits on someone so young. But have a bit of empathy, folks, for who's listening when you're talking. I didn't really need to hear today that I'm gross for being all grey hair and wrinkles in my 50s.
I know I'm not. I don't desperately need reassurance. But yeesh. Just...have some empathy for your listeners? A bit?
