I hate my age...

Post Reply New Topic

I tend to get along with people in their 20s and 30s really well, especially if they're professionals. Typically, they can never believe how wise I am for my age and the fact I look even younger isn't really hurting anything! I just wish my fellow teens would grow up as well. When I went on the activity bus after school on Wednesday, my friend, Grace, and I probably spent at least half the time rolling our eyes and complaining how immauture everyone else on the bus was being. We couldn't have been more correct, especially when they were yelling swear words out the windows for no apparent reason.

Sleeping is more productive.

Not on the world's most bumpiest bus! Our driver actually laughs if we fly up in the air and/or scream! She just likes seeing us get tossed around, I think. At least it's fun! Usually on the bus, I try to tune out the others by listening to my iPod. But if I have a friend there, I just talk to them until they get off.

I don't see anyone here that is like me when it comes to this. I can change my maturity level at a whim. It's whatever I choose it to be. Sometimes I conduct myself in a very mature manner which impresses people, and sometimes there is something that convinces me to make the full 180. People who first see me in mature mode are usually shocked at how far the other way I can go. Most people seem to be one or the other, and it throws them off to see someone who can do both.

My 2nd grade teacher wrote in a report about me "Odd combination of little girl and little old lady" and I think that is still true of me today. I read that you have to have the mental maturity of 28 to post in this section. That scared me at first, then I figured you were just basically asking people to behave themselves here.

Sometimes I feel like a kid, sometimes I feel like an adult. What's up with that? Is that a part of AS or is something else wrong with me?

I only have an average IQ so I guess that explains that : )

You are now 18, peers are not about your age, but about your mentality. Some souls are old, some young, but you seem to be timeless. Find people you find interesting, don't be taken advantage of, and absorb all the knowledge you can!!

I have always got on best with elderly people and talked mostly to them.
When I was 6 or 7 I used to entertain and ask lots of questions of the elderly in the home my mother's adoptive father was in.
When I was 10/11/12, I would spend my spare time with the old lady who lived down the road. She taught me to play cards, I would watch her making jam and she would sometimes take me to pick fruit and such things. Very odd, I suppose, with hindsight.

I will be 43 next month and I get along best with people of my parents' generation. My mother put a high priority on learning and on general knowledge, and I took those lessons to heart.
