Feeling like a child as an adult but an adult as a child

NAS81967

I wasn't diagnosed until I was 18 ( a year ago) but had mental health issues going back to the age of 14; at that age, I remember writing "I feel like an adult in a 14 year old's body". Now I don't really feel like a kid, but in many ways young for my age socially.

  • i dunno, i always felt more mature... i may not have acted it in some peoples eyes, but maybe they know better now.
    i kinda always felt i have done all this before and dont wanna do it again. like life bores me, or maybe our society we created and its strict all consuming and controlling rules that dictate your life bores me. but most of my immaturity i had was mostly all reaction based and likely just a symptom of mental illness rather than being immature. which makes everyone else immature for failing to realise that at the time.
