[MERIT]

If I'm understanding this correctly, your goal is to be able to relate more to people in your own age group or social circle, NOT to be able to find other that you can relate to (regardless of age).

I feel that if others cannot relate to you, the onus should not be on you to change yourself to accomodate them.

But I do realize that everyone wants to fit in and have pleasant and enjoyable social experiences. What seems to be the problem, specifically? Is it that you don't have things in common (music, films, interests, etc), or is it the inability to communicate those like interests? Every social group, regardless of age or location, is going to have the airheads and brain-dead morons, that's a given. But according the law of averages, there should be some people with genuine intellects which may appeal to you, it may just take some digging to pry it out of them.
