Stop and check in with yourself - are you having fun? If so, don't worry about these things any more and continue having fun. If learning these skills seems fun to you, then continue with that. They way you asked about it makes me unsure whether it is, so I thought worth putting it that way.
You will never compare to high school kids, so don't worry about that.
I've been mountain biking since the late 80s. I've been riding the same mountain bike (fully rigid, NORBA geometry, top-mount thumbies) since the early 90s. So I am not exactly de moda. But at least in the midwest, where I live, I have just as much fun as I always did. (If I lived in the west I'd have something modern) So I don't care whether I can do X or Y tricks (though having to pick your line instead of crush everything does help you build skills) as long as I'm having fun.
