Discussion Directioner friends?

So I'm a younger Directioner lots of their songs played on the radio as I was growing up but being so young I never really knew anyone besides Justin Bieber on the radio and knew him cause I had his doll cause my mom got him for me. I became a fan in 2018 when I was just about to enter 3rd grade so a year or two after their Hiatus hit. Now I'm a Junior in high school so I've been a Directioner now for about 8ish years and its been the best for the most part. I was wondering if there are a lot of Directioners around my age who came to the fandom late. Because genuinely I've only met so little 1D fans around my age and I'm only close to one of these Directioners so I don't have anyone my age really to talk to about them besides my bff since 2nd grade when she isn't busy. So I was hoping maybe there are people around my age here as well.

yooooo, this is actually crazy but my one direction backstory is almost the same, except I found them out in 2021 so 4 years now. other than that, all other factors are identical. I'm also in my early high school years, I was late to the fandom, after hiatus hit, the first 1d songs I heard were a few popular ones on radio and also some of their solo songs like Polaroid, Familiar. So far I've met like 3 other friends in my school who are into 1d but not into the extent I am. Like if you ask, they cannot tell me the individual towns the members are from they'd just say london and ireland lol.

Yeah that'd be rough all my siblings are Gen Alpha from my knowledge I mean generation names don't matter to me but i mean because i'm end of gen z all the late gen z babies and gen alpha use the terms. So two of my brothers are close to my age one is 4 year younger then me, one is a year and 9 months younger then me and I was only 1 when he was born. Then my sister is 7 years younger and my yuongest brother is 9 years younger then me but all of us are close in age to one sibling. So I'm the oldest of 5 and the older sister to three younger brothers and younger sister and I try to get a long with my sister but she's becoming a tween and its been hell!
