Childlike in Nature?

Post Reply New Topic

I know I'm child like. I watch children shows and teen shows. I like childish things. I still like toys but I don't like them the same way I did when I was little. I like stuff animals (never too old for those) never too old for Knex either and never too old for Spongebob because it has adult humor in it I heard. Never too old for cartoons either. Never too old for video games either or for Disney. I even like playing on the huge slide in Spokane in Riverfront Park. Grown ups play on it too and teens. Thank god there is no age limit for the thing. I think anyone can be child like, I can say parents sure are. I still like happy Meal toys.


Mostly I am on the computer and watching TV. I do that 95 percent of the time. When I was in my teens, it was video games and TV. Then when I started posting online, it changed.

I'm a very strange person. I'll tell you why:

I am 21 years old, and I talk like I'm 40, and people generally assume (prior to knowing my real age) that I am at least in my late 20s early 30s. But it's strange because when I'm around my immediate family (brothers, sister, parents, etc) I have the tendency to be very childish. I still think it's amusing to tease my 14-year-old brother, and I often take it to an extreme level by being obsessive about it, which pisses off my brother. My mom says I'm like a child.

Another thing that I find particularly interesting about me, is if I see a bug somewhere, either in my house or outside, I usually watch it and see what it does, or I stare at it for a long time and become interested in the bug as a young child would. Maybe it's related to my Asperger's, maybe it's not. But I do know that any normal adult wouldn't even think about the bug, they would either kill it, if it is in the house, or just ignore it if it's outside.

I was always very interested in the environment, such that I would observe bugs, animals and collect plants and rocks when I was younger. It seems as though I have retained this childlike curiosity about the environment up to the present day. And I don't think I will ever loose this childish sense of wonder.

i am 46 years old.

I behave like a kid.

I have the brain of a wise old man, and have been told this since infancy.

go figure........

Ohhh yeah. I am definitely childlike...in fact, I was just thinking about this earlier today. I'm an interesting case, though. Family, friends, and acquaintances have always noted that I am incredibly mature, wise beyond my years...I've been described as an old soul on several occasions. This, I believe, comes from my emotional detachment from certain situations...I am always calm, always clear headed, always logical...in public.

In actuality, I'm still just a child. Like a few others have mentioned, small children and animals seem drawn to me. I feel more comfortable around adults because I feel like a child, and adults don't expect children to be socially mature. Around kids and teens, however, I feel very self-conscious, because they feel like peers to me.

I collect stuffed penguins. I named my Ipod, and carry it around in an adorable green, glittery cell phone 'hoodie' with shamrocks on it. When I ask my boyfriend to help me put songs on it, I refer to it as buying gifts for 'Lucky' (the Ipod). I often find myself transfixed by flying objects/creatures, lights, shiny objects. When I find something interesting, I think it's cooooool. I like being taken care of and babied, and play out any illnesses for attention (as a child would). I'm 23, and I still pout my lip and will sometimes talk like a little girl. For years, I've noticed that older men are incredibly drawn to me, which I attribute to the fact that I'm a 'legal girl child'...they love to 'awwww' at me.
