Older people in the US trust me more than anything. I'm considered in some ways very mature as an adult and other ways can enjoy being childlike. (I don't have children; I am worried if I am not healthy enough etc. and can't support one or even have a life myself.)
It's like older adults in Europe think it's their turn to, like, raise me and get close to me, when I'm already raised and distanced. I'm not talking about "sex." I mean like being bossed around and their pretending they have something great waiting for me I need to consider. (I do want to move to Germany.)
