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

  • Yes and before I knew about autism I spent time trying to work out why I felt that way. I questioned friends who all said they felt young. But I think they meant young at heart. For me, I've always felt everyone is more "adult" than me. Even the friends who are younger. That doesn't mean I act childish but I just feel a bit behind people my own age. There's no right or wrong way to be. One of my best friends is twice my age.
