Am I the only one who experiences older women (like Gen X and above) just not liking me and being super passive aggressive towards me? Older men don’t do that in my experience

I have the opposite where we get along very well. A lot of moms with neurodivergent kids like me. I think it’s because they can see me being mostly functional with accommodations and feel good about their kid’s future.

My experience has been similar. Older men have been very kind and patient with me while older women have been anything from passive aggressive to outright hostile.

Interesting! Super interesting that you have noticed an opposite pattern. Idk, its so confusing because I definitely get along with women who are millenials/gen z, i guess I just feel some kind of disconnect with older women. It could just be where I live or something random like that tbh

Yes, exactly!! It’s this weird feeling of underlying hostility covered up by passive aggressiveness no matter how friendly I am. I don’t get it

Yeah it really depends on the people you’re interacting with I think and also the context
