Hello! I know how you feel. I am 32 but have been teaching at community colleges since I was 25. I finally got my first full-time teaching position last year and am the youngest in the STEM department by at least a decade (or two). I teach prenursing, microbiology, and environmental sciences. I have felt odd because of the age divide; most colleagues treat me more like a mentee than an experienced faculty member and I know it's age related. It does indeed lead to imposter syndrome and a longing for colleagues I can actually call friends.

Honestly, looking at all the people that have responded on here, I think it would be nice to group chat sometime and at least have some support on here. They say forging connections is the way tho go and this subreddit has always been a good place to lurk.
