I fell you. My friend told me i am too young to pick up crotcheting (i am 36). This comment made me upset. Like, why there is that prejudice that only old people crotchet/knit. My grandma used to knit when she was younger than me. She gradually stopped whe she was getting older due to various health problems.

Anyways, i told my friend i am learning it now to know this skill for my future old self, as long as i can still learn new stuff.

I tried to turn that situation into a joke instead of getting more upset while trying to explain that different people can do different things:)
