What would you say your mental age is? Does it agree with your physical age?

Sorry if something like this has already been posted before. :/

I feel about 12-13 in my head, however I'm actually fast approaching my 16th birthday.

A weird paradox of like 40+ years old with an emotional age of like 12. So it sorta averages to my real age.

I'm 16 but my mental age is about 12. People often mistake me as an eith grader, not an eleventh grader.

Too much hyper/hypo happening for any number to be meaningful. You'd have to break it down into aspects. In some ways, I'm far more developed than a person my age would normally be. In others, I'm like a small child.

I'm 17 and my mental age is probably 18 or 19. I'm done with high school a year early, and that accounts for most of the slight difference between my physical and mental ages.

I'm 15 and my mental age is 25 years old.

I quite often get told I'm very mature for my age, I don't see it though. :roll:

I'm physically 21, but mentally I'm still pretty childlike - around the age of 10, or so I'm told.

This, pretty much. In some(emotional) ways I've got a lot of growing up to do, but in other aspects, I'm probably more developed than most adults.

I'm not really sure what age, but I was talking to a media guy and he told me I was (at the time, last year) 19 going on 90. I understand a lot of social and mental issues... in a different way than most because I've been through a lot and I don't look at things the same way so I seem older. At the same time, in a lot of ways I act my age and sometimes younger.

Mental age:

My emotional age can vary; I can be very empathetic at times, but I tend to cope with death etc, very well...so...maybe 15. However I have very good common sense and am quite intelligent, although I do have a lot of anxiety, so maybe...15 or 16, which is practically my own age.
