Physically: about 7-10 years younger apart from getting tired very easily and wanting a lot of sleep.

Mentally - who knows? I used to be what they called "an old head on young shoulders" partly because I had to be. Dad would take me on walks when I was a kid and talk to me about all these adult things because I think he knew he could confide in me.

Emotionally - immature: maybe anywhere from 2-15. I have a particular aversion to being "shushed" and that is one thing that can lead to a meltdown. It's like I'm thinking about the other person "how dare you make me unimportant and childish by shutting me down!".

Exactly why I don't like being shushed whilst
you and your friends talk "BEER, TITS, FOOTBALL"
AND shush! you talk to much G.H!

Since when Idle drunk chatter is deemed iMPortanT????
f**k you! I would think! I am not stupid little G.H
for your leisure to f*****g shush!

:evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

I am respectful on the other hand if you shush
me for the right reasons, like over-dominating
into a subconscious monologue, and I can understand
being shushed! This is a right reason! :D :D :D


Grrrrr!-fangs and claws! and don't SHUSH ME
YOU FOOTBALL, BEER DRINKING SLUDGE OF
A GIT

I informed my parents on my 13th birthday that I no longer wished to get any older, and I'm gonna stick with that, so... 13.

heh. physically, probably 23, my exact age. Mentally, probably 35 or so. People tell me I act old. Emotionally, 15 or so. I feel like a teenager trapped in a college student's body.

Physically - 29. Used to look younger than my age but have caught up recently - haven't been asked for ID for four years lol. Suppose the silver hairs and laugh lines give the game away...

Emotionally/socially - a weird mix of thirty-something and 17. :?

I'm 16, but I look about 19 or 20. Around my friends and people I'm really close with, I act really immature (like a 12 y/o) but with people I don't know so well I get nervous and act a lot older.

It just depends on who I'm with, really...

I am 40, but I feel I am 25, but I look my age, and sometimes I feel old, specially after I exercise.

I don't feel like I'm any age. Sometimes I remember that I have an age, and I'm very confused by it. I'm very young.

people guess im anywhere between 18 and 25. though emotionally..its hard to say. i believe i know how to act on logic rather than short term emotion for sure, something i worked on in martial arts and meditation. or at least, i think i do..my logic doesnt always seem to be spot on.

my every day functioning/getting things done maturity level feels like that of a 17 year old. i feel like im 15 socially.

Well, according to the therapist I see, emotionally, I have the maturity of a 9 year old (I'm 15). Physically many have described me as appearing to be about 17.
I don't know how I feel about it all. Asking me if I felt so emotionally immature would be like asking an insane person if they felt insane.

It seems everything noteworthy started when I was around 7 - started to talk, started to eat food, my parents got devoiced so I was finally allowed to go outside and teachers were suddenly allowed to teach me which both hadn't been allowed with my dad around - basically long story short; I've always considered myself 7 years behind everyone else socially.

So, that means I am 27 but with the social age of 20, which isn't too bad.
But I look 30, I feel at least 40, and sometimes act like I'm 7.

I just realised I am nearly 30...dear god that's depressing :cry:

i have no idea how old i feel. in order for me to make an assessment, i must feel what other people feel at various ages to make a comparison.

i do not feel different physically or mentally than i did as a teenager.
maybe when i was a teenager, i felt the same way as a 60 year old. how would i know.

i do not feel as if i am older than i was then though.


i am a bit more sensible and less prone to automatic confrontation however.
