Immaturity

Post Reply New Topic

I'm 24, but usually I act like a teenager by choice. I firmly believe acting young is good for a long and healthy lifestyle. The whole reason I started Insanity Workout was so that I can be likea teenager. Truthfully, I am a very mature aspie when it comes down to it. The events in my life led me to help take care of my family, since my dad disowned us to be with his new family. I do help my family's finances and I'm a very responsible worker. I take life seriously, but I enjoy the little things in life.

I feel the exact same.. I tend to act younger than my own age. I being 24 also know the feels..

When I encounter life decisions I tend to withdraw and not act the maturity that I actually have. I get lost and unsure of myself. I wish I could turn it on or off.. I wish there was a way to turn the maturity on and off.. I have no idea how to do it. I so wish I could.

I know the feeling! There are some days where I just shut down. Thanks to my job, it's been helping me speak out and make decisions, since I'm management in training, but even then that doesn't work out some days.

Ugh.. yeah <.< I have worked as a cashier for four years now and it has helped me alot. I have learned how to handle situations better than others. I just wish that my place of work wouldn't take me away from those times I have trouble. For example: when a child (normally foreign and doesn't speak English though we do get just as many English speaking children of course as well) is on a ridable toy and I would say no. The parent would complain that I yelled at them and I would explain that I got stern because it was the X amount of time I have told them. So my employer would take me away from the situation.

Gee thanks boss, instead of turning it into a learning experience just take me away from it so I can't 'learn any better' ... This makes total sense.

But yeah maturity wise I tend to act differently... drastically different... when I am with different groups of friends.. It's like I pick up on there maturity level. Of course I have a cap.. I can only go so low or so high but it does shift depending on the people and the environment and I can't control it for some reason.. I wish I could or at least find a way to control it with out feeling weird like its the wrong time or it just doesn't fit the equation.

*Hoof Bump*

I was just thinking of this, actually. Compared to a lot of people my age, I feel like I'm probably a good 5-7 years behind them. I'm in my late 20s, but I still feel like I'm college-aged. And I sometimes feel like I'm still a kid compared to colleagues at work--even around people who aren't much older than me.
