Adults??

[LazyHermitCrab]

Sure, but i think other adults act like children too like bullying others at work and gossiping. I don't do that, but recently took out my digipet found when cleaning my room to put on my keychain and play with it at red lights hitting 21 soon btw.... xD

in many ways, i felt more "grown up" 25 years ago.

when i was young, i thought i knew everything,

and i carried the weight of the world on my shoulders.

as i've gotten older, and learned how little i really know,

and learned how little the world needs my approval to keep spinning,

i've been able to let go of that weight.

my step is a little more lively now.

i just hate to see so many young people

unnecessarily burdened by the same things that i was once upon a time.

I feel exactly like this. I think part of me doesn't want to grow up because I don't think that I will be accepted in the adult world so in my head I'm still a kid.

No?
I've felt like an adult mentally-- since I was 12.
I take responsibility of everyone around me because I feel like they're not willing to do it themselves. I'm always the responsible one.
I'm always the one telling people not to do things because they're dangerous or stupid.
I'm always the one to calm people down because they're getting to angry or wound up about something that cannot be helped.

I'm the 'calm' one - which is pretty funny, considering that I'm also 'the only one' who has panic/anxiety disorder.

I accept that I'm adult.
That's why I feel so ashamed to be leaning on my mom so much now that I'm unable to leave my room to work. I feel guilty because I haven't leaned on her for anything since I was a small child.
She doesn't seem to mind but it still bothers me...


I don't know what makes you an adult- apart from your age... or what is expected of you from society.
I'd rather just say, I'm mature.
I'm a helpless, mature person.
haha

Like most other people on here, I do not feel like an adult, even though I have a 4-yr-old and am pushing 30. I am rather small and look younger than I really am, so many people probably assume I am in my early 20s as opposed to my late 20s.
I feel like I have missed out on a lot of vital information. When I was younger, I always thought that everyone else knew things I didn't.
Now, since I have my son, I feel like I must teach him to be different from me, and I don't want to shelter him as much as my parents did to me, because I'm afraid that made my situation worse (not learning to cope with socializing). So far, it seems to be working--my son is very outgoing and is excited about participating in activities, which makes me happy.

When I was younger (teenager) I felt like an adult. I think this is because I had to grow up fast due to past experiences.
However, for the past 10 years or so I have felt like a 18/19 year old. I think this is due to my having very little childhood. I was a loner throughout my school years, felt a loner in the army and only have one person I consider a friend now.

So yes, I do struggle gowing old. My body is older than my brain.
And to all the women, no it's not because I'm a bloke and all blokes act like kids anyway.

I'm 20, and I might as well be 13. I have absolutely no experience in the real world, and "adults" can be really intimidating for me to talk to. (Basically ages 24 and up) I don't have a problem talking to teens, and kids are a breeze. (I probably shouldn't hang around any middle schools though) >.> I'm having a hell of a time getting a job as well.

I feel like a geriatric nutcase. It is as if some inner tide goes out right when I muster the courage/feel the impetus to make some headway. I can stir myself to rapture sometimes with future prospects and ideas of transcendence, but when it comes time to act, I find myself frozen, paralyzed at the sight of a massive tsunami. Paradoxically/nonsensically, it seems like this thing is generated far away, so I am surprised to see it already welling up inside of me far prematurely of when one might expect the death-crash of the first explosive waves. It's like being tossed around from within like a pathetic ragdoll, but always staring around buggeyed, transfixed momentarily by the surprise of the magic trick of that damn wave. Is it from within? or from outside? I think there are some sort of david blaine mirror tricks going on or something. Either way it is getting old, and conjointly, I feel bloody old. .

What he said

 

[Shawnzie]

I'm still like a kid. It's embarrassing and makes me feel more self-concious.

I feel the same way bro. Like I should still be in the 11th grade or something. And it makes it hard to relate to other people my age, I feel stupid because they're experiencing real life and I feel stuck as a teen living with my parents.
