Anyone else start feeling too old for hostels in their 30s?

I spent most of my 20s bouncing around hostels and some of the best experiences of my life happened in those common rooms. Cheap beer, strangers who became close friends, plans made at midnight that somehow worked out. I genuinely loved it.

I'm mid-30s now and recently started traveling solo again. Booked hostels because I love to socialize and make new friends, but this time it felt different. Not bad exactly, just off. Everyone in the common room was between 20-24 years old and I felt I was the older guy. The conversations that used to pull me in now kind of wash past me. I found myself going to bed early and feeling weird.

So I'm curious, is anyone else feeling the same?
