Even though this is some of the most commonly given advice, it's definately the most true. The moment I stopped caring what people thought of me (well, just random people, not people who I care for), my life became 1000x more fun and everything just started falling in place. I mean, I act like an idiot 70% of the time, do silly things, make a fool of myself, etc (and I know it, but whatever, that's just who I am...). And lots of people think I'm a moron and don't want anything to do with me, but that's great because I generally don't want anything to do with them if they take themselves that seriously, so it acts as a good screen
Also, about the age thing, I'm 19 and even before I was 19 (drinking age here) I had plenty of friends who were older than me by up to 14 years even. Sure I couldn't go to the bar or whatever with them, but they don't spend ALL their time in the bars or whatever, and so I hang out with them at other places/times. I don't really see much more of them or anything since I turned 19 and could go out to the bar...
