I was looking through some of the comments in the "How old are you currently" thread and I had some interesting thoughts. That thread is long enough already, so I thought I'd start a new one.

Anyway, how old do you feel? I'm asking because I'll be 18 in a few months but I feel like I'm 12 or 13, and I often act much younger (like I'm 7).

How old do you feel most of the time? How old do you act?

I usually feel a lot older than my peers - at university, I feel like I'm surrounded by kids, because I've "been there, done that, been on the dole" etc, haha.

I suppose I've lived a full life... but y'know. I feel ancient, aged 19 :lol:

It depends on my mood. Sometimes I feel like I'm 13(i'm 15) and other times I feel as if I am OTH(100 years old perhaps...)

This...well not all of the time. Sometimes i feel WAY older than every one else but yeah other times i don't. I guess the age i feel is situational.

The same for me...Depending on the situation and my mood, I often feel a lot older than I am, or a lot younger than I am. The 12-13 thing was how I feel most of the time.

Ironically, what I'm noticing is that it's like I'm aging backwards. I acted a lot older when I was a kid, but now that I'm older I act like a kid. Maybe I'm just more self-aware now...

I often feel (and act) young, like 10 or so. Especially when plushed Tuxes are in sight. But then sometimes, I also feel old, like 50 years old, especially when I become philosophic or ponder questions, most of the people in my age-group never thought about.

I'd say I do act 16 in most ways, but in other ways I can be pretty childish.
I'm not sure which age I'd be. :[

I feel like I'm 20...still immature but I have more knowledge then most people my age. Maybe socially I'm around 12, but I won't count that because I know I have Aspergers.

Though I turn 18 here in 2 days, my social skills are that of a 12 year old, I guess. Other than that I guess I feel 18. I go to work and drive a car..
