19-22 and 40

I've got that old head on a young body thing going on. I've been 40 since I was a child and now my body has caught up.

This^^ When I was 13 my best friend was a 54 year old chemical engineer. He is still a very nice guy and I talk to him when I see him. Last week during a church meeting I sat next to my teacher and talked to him about overpopulation, tech products, and psychology. I think I'm more mature and happy when I'm with older people. When I'm with peers I'm either weird or immature.

While I have always got along best with those much older, I would say I look 26 and act about 23, although I am developing VERY rapidly in the past 6 months.

I usually actually feel old for my age in maturity maybe like 30+, but am young at heart and often look young as a result, not to mention social intelligence that's still a little behind putting me at like 23

I often feel like 80+.
I don't really get along with the average peer - unless they're like me. I prefer talking to older people mostly.
But then again, when I utterly fail in a social situation, I feel like I'm 5. :roll:

I have no clue. Somewhere in my teens? Then other times I just feel older than myself.

Mentally, I will always be two years younger than my current age.

In health, probably two or three years older.

I'd say I'm at least 5 years older mentally. When people guess my age, they usually go a few years high.
