This is really interesting but, when I was young, I had no interest in drinking and making a fool of myself. Instead I had all these old-people interests. But now that I should be acting like that old person I find I just wanna hang out and drink and do inappropriate things. I wonder why.

Same to me. When I was a kid a prefered to be with adults. Now that I'm an adult I prefer to be with kids (or teenagers to be exact).

I'm 23 but I feel as if I were somewhere between 13-17.

Sounds believable. In terms of social skills and experience, the average 20 year old is ahead of me although I am 2.5 times older.

I still sleep with the blankie my grandma made me when I was a kid. And I also have 2 stuffed animals. I used to have more but I found they took up too much of my bed :lol:
