As someone whose kid is 12, it really depends on the kid.
When my kiddo was nine, she was VERY social and wanted nothing more than to info dump on Pokemon and Zelda theories to anyone who'd listen.
Now, at age 12, she's still very social, but she's more selective on the folks she is friendly with now that she's old enough to get Gut Feelings and avoid people that trigger them.
She still will info dump to anyone who'll listen, but she's added Wings of Fire to her pool of knowledge lol.
