Adult artists, don't you feel uncomfortable interacting in mostly teenage art communities?

I'm an adult woman who didn't have access to the internet (outside of doing homework and downloading music) until I was 18. Because of university, I didn't have time to join art communities and barely had time to draw. I barely had resources like quality colored pencils and a printer to scan my drawings and upload them to DeviantArt. I didn't draw digitally yet and I didn't own a graphics tablet.

When I graduated, I finally got around to joining artist communities. Before that, I only knew about DeviantArt and never interacted with other artists beyond leaving a comment on their drawings (English is not my first language). When I joined the Twitter artist community, I noticed that most of them were underage, and I was already in my late 20s at the time. I would upload my drawings and rarely comment on other artists' posts. I felt like I didn't fit in because of my age and also because I only uploaded traditional art as a newbie in digital art. If there were artists my age, they were generally professional illustrators who made a living from it, while I was a simple, recently graduated architect who only drew as a hobby.

If I had had my own computer in my teens and a graphics tablet 10 years earlier, I would have fit into any artist community, talking to people my age and joining fandoms without feeling "old."
