You're not alone, I know how you feel. I'm only a little bit younger than you.

That said, you ask: "is vehement aversion to rules a sign of age or personality?"

Why should it be either? It depends on the circumstances, and you cannot define it as definately being one of the two, or a permanent and constant mixture of the two.

It's beginning to seem to me that my distaste for authority is becoming more and more justified, but I'm still trying to figure out why I feel this way, and whether or not it really is justified or not.

Ultimately, aversion to established rules should depend on:
1) Your personal views
2) How well the rules fit with your personal views

So, what are your personal views? And why do you hold those views? And what criticisms are there of those views? That might help you explain it.
