I do!

I sometimes feel like a 12 year old trapped in a 21 year old body! My dad tells me that I shouldn't be walking TV shows like Spongebob

Yes. I really don't feel my age, whatever feeling one's age is supposed to mean.

I've been thinking a lot about this, and I find it fascinating more than anything else.

No. Most people my age seem very young to me. I can't relate to their concerns.

I'm always surprised to find that people my age don't feel as old as I do. I'm 22 but I feel 30ish.

A part of me feels like a 14 or 15 year old trapped in a 20 year old body....but at other times I feel lke I'm 30 something. But thats probably my serious and stoic personality

Yeah, I find this as well. I'm more mature then my peers, which can be quite isolating.

I also feel that my peers are a lot younger than me, as well. Females in particular with their Top 40 and American Idol.

As a child I was super immature but now I feel like a 40 year old trapped in a 23 year old's body.

I'm not sure I've ever felt like I was any particular age. Birthdays and such have always seemed weird to me. My body certainly feels older. But on the inside I feel much like I have always felt. My mind is filled with more stuff. But it's still me wandering around inside it.

I can go either way depending on mood. Alone, i watch nickelodeon, play super mario bros. and whatnot. At work, im the other way around. Im the assistant manager at a convenience store, when i see childish crap going on, or vendors who have their heads up their asses, i shake my head and think "I'm getting too old for this s**t!"

most of the time of my life i felt more mature than the people in my age, but now i realized, that i am just intellectually advanced to them, and that they get smarter too.

And I also realized that i am emotionally, socially behind the average, and therefore i now feel immature.

I absolutely love Spongebob and Pokemon. When it all comes down to it Spongebob is for everyone! My parents think I have "grown out" of it but I never have! :D But yes some parts of me I feel very immature and other parts incredibly mature

That's how I feel. I look in the mirror and see this old person looking back at me, but I feel like the same person I was 20 years ago.

As far as being emotionally immature, I feel like a 12 year old. I am easily wounded and I take things to heart. I haven't developed the thick skin and broader perspective when it comes to emotions that a person my age would be expected to have done.

Well considering that I still sleep with security blankets, and metamorphisize them as cats, or a magical blanket that can turn into a cat (bunching it up, cuddling where his head should be, and making it act as if it were a cat).

And considering that I was there for the entire duration of Potter's world.... and I believe in an imaginary world that I inhabit in my mind, yes I am a child.
