Not only is having intergenerational friendships literally not creepy, imho it's actually essential. You NEED friends who are older to do things like help you when there's a problem with your taxes, and give you job advice, and relationship advice, and especially if you are part of a marginalized group, and especially if you're part of a marginalized group and don't have contact with a ton of other members of it, you need older friends to show you that there IS a future for you, for people like you, and what it looks like, and the way it doesn't even have to involve turning into your parents

conversely, you need friends who are younger to help introduce you to new ideas. You need friends who are younger to drag you out to try some adventure because they thought it looked cool. You need younger friends to help you fix problems, because they may have faced something similar in the past! You need younger friends to keep you up to date on slang so that you can embarrass your teenage family members by intentionally misusing it.

Cross-generational friendships are not some weird sin. My best friend is nineteen years older than I am - im closer in age to her children than I am to her. She's still my best fucking friend.

having friends who are older than you helps inoculate you against ageism towards older people.

having friends who are younger than you helps inoculate you against ageism towards younger people.

you need to be able to see people of all ages as people you live in a community with, people who are similar to how you once were or will be, people you can learn from and people you can teach.

It is also just a given of life. Those that are like "Why would a 40 year old ever even be near a 16 year old? Thats sus!" Have never worked a minimum wage job or gone to college, especially community college. My first year of school, I was friends with a 36 year old man with kids I was closer in age to. My senior internship was in a cardiac rehab unit and I made friends with people an average age of 65. I was often teased at being in charge of their workout plans when "I have shoes older than you". I had a 50 year old coworker last holiday season and she was great, I loved working with her.

Outside of forced association with only people your age and people much older than you like in K-12, you're gonna be hard pressed to find friends that are only in your age group. Its okay, and it honestly rules.

#one of my best friends is 15 years younger than me #another has a child that is days younger than me #age is so irrelevant frfr

Xie Lian, tripping in the heavens: o///o

Feng Xin, who happened to be nearby: ?! Are you all right?

Xie Lian: Fine! I'm fine!

Mu Qing, squinting: why don't I believe you?

Xie Lian: nothing to worry about! I just... um... heard a prayer.
