I'm over 40 now. I realized what you're saying to an extent, but for a long time I assumed that older adults would have the benefit of wisdom, life experience, maturity, etc.
As I've aged, I've been consistently disappointed. I now believe differences in how people behave, according to age, are really a product of generational differences, and that people really don't change very much after they pass 30.
