Venting Anyone feel that they never grew up?

[Scacie]

Anyone else feel that their body age somehow isnt compatible with the age they want to be? I barely remember my teens and childhood I just want to experience them. I'm 20 but I just feel that I'll be so much happier if I was physically 15 forever.

 

[wastingpotential]

i'm scared i'll forever be sixteen cause that's the final age/year of my life where things didn't completely explode on me & i felt i could still be salvaged.

sometimes i also feel nine watching my favourite cartoons and videos online, then it hurts me more to remember i'll never be that hopeful again either.

i'm beyond repair now in every shape and form

 

[Horrors Lazuli]

I'm 28 now but I never grew up, either. The state of my life is the evidence.

 

[Sarros]

A bunch of really small things changed about me, some I like, most I don't. But I don't think I'd wish to be younger or go back or anything. Just to die.

 

[divinemistress36]

Im 36 and never got to grow up never even moved out of my parents house

 

[LaVieEnRose]

Me. It's pathetic as all out.

 

[ultrasharpy123456]

yep

 

[thealteredmind]

yep I'm 31 but got stuck at... 15. maybe 18.

 

[lostmeaning]

Opposite for me. Grew up quickly didn't have a choice. Don't relate to other people my age doesn't match my life experience.

 

[Maravillosa]

Oh yes. I'm 57 but never permanently moved out of my parents' house (except for a year of undergrad in a dorm and two years of grad school in an off-campus apartment). Never married, never had kids, never had a serious romantic relationship. Emotionally, I feel like I'm permanently stuck in my early 20s and look like I am still in my 40s, but I walk like a little old lady.

I'm a 30 year old kissless virgin who's never been on a date, still lives with his mom, and is still fixated on many childish media franchises.

 

[abchia]

I definitely still feel a lot younger. People have told me that I a act immaturely and I sometimes take it as an insult. The past few years have been foggy and I can barely remember anything

I got diagnosed with childhood depression at age nine.. So yes.

 

[rokonie]

Yeah. I still feel 16-20. But it's not cos those years were the last "good" years- I was still really depressed, but that was the /only/ thing that took up my world in a way. Now I have to worry about functioning at work, job hunting once this contract's over, aging parents, actually being an adult..
I still snuggle in bed at night and doomscroll through depressing and triggering content on Tumblr trying to recapture those angsty teenage years because I don't want to face the reality that there's so much more i need to worry about other than wanting to die now.
