I feel the same way! all my friends older than me always just treat me younger than I am. but that's fine with me. at least they talk to me. I have like 3 friends my age (all a couple months older) but only one of them is best friend.

ofc I wanna be your fren 😊 you seem really amazing and I would love to talk more, I'm lily hbu ?

and also don't worry about it , I'm super cringe all the time but try not to overthink on it and talk to me if you want to
