"Pick up a psychology book and look up teenager topics" said he with his eye brow frowned like a piece of crumbled leather. "I treat you as my friend and tell you my trouble, you turn around and think I am a teenager." I protested. " Are you trying to behave like the father of a teenager and treat me as if I am a teenager?"
What my problem was that I became very conscious of my age nowadays especially around my colleagues who are much younger than me, about 5 to 10 years younger. I am not lying about my age but everytime they try to find out my age and I feel very sensitive about it. I really wish they'd rather not to talk about my age at all. However, being around them increasingly remindes me of that I am older than then. So what? I didn't care about it at all.
I tried to talk with him about my trouble, but all the replies I have got from him were that why you always socialise with them, blablabla... "you didn't put your ring on the right finger... you haven't accepted who you are yet..."
Are there any models one should behave according to his age? Obviously he thinks that I am not behaving as my age. It was impossible to carry on further conversation with him anymore, can't really afford to witness more crumbled leather on his face!
