As a young person, I definitely feel this. There's so much that older people do that I could never manage, simply because I don't have that many experiences. It always weirds me out a little bit when an adult talks for like an hour just riffing on one subject, mostly unprepared, until I remind myself that they've had a lot more time than I have to acquire a.) experiences that make for entertaining anecdotes and b.) knowledge to support whatever point they're making.
