is there something wrong with me??? I get along great with everybody over 27. And a lot of kids younger than me, think I'm awesome, but people near my own age (20) avoid me, some even HIDE from me, and I have no clue why!!! I act no different than anybody else! Whats the deal!? And, How do I deal? It kinda sucks when you deal with doctors, lawyers, judges, scientists, teachers, and other sophisticated and educated people, on a weekly basis, and can carry on mature intellectual conversation with them, yet, people my age go the other way. Why!?

Well, I hate to be the one to point this out...but how many doctor, lawyers, judges, scientists, teachers, etc are about 20 years old? I'm sure not too many. The company you keep is the problem. Unfortunately most 20 year olds aren't as mature and intellectual as you are, and I'm sure on some level you frighten people your own age away. The only suggestion I have to maybe "cure" your problem is that you're going to have to learn how to "dumb down". Meaning you'll have to practice learning the difference between questions that people really want answered and the ones that are just asked to hear themselves talk or get a giggled response. If you can't seem to get over that part...then I'm afraid you'll just have to leave the 20 year olds behind. Besides, age really isn't anything but a number. If you feel more comfortable with people that are older...then maybe those are the people you should be hanging with anyway...either way, good luck!

Maybe they're intimidated by you, because of the clientele you deal with on a regular basis. Also, people tend to be jealous of successful people . If you can't associate with your peers, associate with people tha you work with, or are associated with from work! Good Luck! Meet a nice intellectual guy to talk to, date, and have a good time with.

Why don't you hang out where people your age go, like a college. See how you differ from the popular girls. Ask some people if they will help figure this out. We all get off track sometimes.
