Shouldn't let it worry you in my view.
First up, most people are stupid. Second, lots of them stopped maturing (mentally) at some point in their mid-teens. And thirdly, do you really want to be like them?
I gave up on my peers years ago. Went and did my own thing and found my own hobbies (hey it was pre-mainstream-internet, these were productive hobbies). This kept me happy, and gave me stories to tell.
Yeah, sometimes it bothers me. But honestly, I don't think I'll be sitting in the nursing home thinking "I wish that I'd sat at home more often with friends from high-school".
