Age issues

Billy87

Just wondering if anyone on here doesn't feel the age they are? Like I am a 34 year old man and sometimes I feel really mature and grown up but a lot of the time I feel like mentally Im still 17

I thought having a family would make me finally feel like a grown up but I just feel like a teenager with a wife and kid tbh

i always get on with people who are either younger or older than me.

Wondered if anyone else has these life expereinces

  • Occasionally I joke that I am still a kid, and than there is not aging thing, I look 20 years younger, I supect some of NTs envy that.

    Like you I get well with kids up to 10 years old, and elderly, everybody in between treats me as if I was a leper or sth like that

    My experience is very similar to yours. Kids or elderlies. You don't even have to try; we click and can talk for hours. Sweat smile Be kind to each other, empathise with others and cherish the moments we spent together. 

    Do you have workmates with who you get along well? Like without trying? 

    I use to be fine at work too until I was 29 but don't know what happened after that. May be became less tolerant.

    If they have similar interests to me, then we start to get along in no time, RPG, sci-fi and fantasy books, that is not typical interest for an NT, so they are probably starved to get someone to talk to :P

    otherwise months of careful probing to find a crazy spark in them

    elderly will love you just for talking to them, and that is something in common :P

    kids for treating them like equal, almost all dislike being patronised
