Do you relate to the concept of having 'an inner child?'

I actually sometimes act like an absolute child (thinking, talking, smiling, etc )
I dont know about others .

Yes, definitely. I really value my inner child. I think it's wonderful to maintain at least some sense of wonder in life. Plus- I guess it's a way of trying to protect yourself- because you know there is that vulnerable child inside of you.

Of course I believe we all do in some way. Our inner child isn't always brought out by the pain of life or the suffering you endure from the memories & experiences. Sometimes it's watching that one Disney movie that reminds you of summer time, or an ice cream flavor you forgot ever existed & the moment you taste it you're 5 again thinking about some of the good times. My inner child is a very hurt & broken soul, it comes out in many of my days of suffering.

Yes, the most fun i seem to be is when i interact with children, family kids and whatnot. Kids seem more drawn to my childishness than anything else.

It's just way more fun getting the water guns out and going mad or playing hide and seek, adult life suckkkks 🤣

Nah i don't wanna talk about careers, lets have a water balloon fight instead lol

literally born to :3 forced to wsg

I love all things pink and cute and hello kitty. I love kids toys n watch unboxing sometimes. I had to grow up when I was a kid, so now I'm all grown and am still that kid. I'm still sitting here wondering when I'll mentally grow up

Yea but it's kind of a sad feeling. It's like that child never grew up but is forced to act as an adult instead. I really just wish I could've had have someone to hold my hand, and had a chance to be a kid.

I have an inner child that is very sad and confused and disillusioned by life. Was lied to about what the world and life are. But also I feel that I am still a child or rebellious teenager even as an adult.

i love the concept of having an inner child. its vulnerable. but i feel i was stripped away of the feelings of being a child, so im making up for it now. however, it does get in the way of "adult responsibility."

Yes but I think she's lost and traumatized and stomped down into shell of her original self

I talked with my therapist about this. I have tattoos that symbolize pieces of my self are missing. With all the trauma from my childhood he said that one of the pieces I'm missing is never truly having a childhood and that is locked inside of me hiding.
