Did any of you feel as though you had an adult voice in your head as a child?

I did, it wasn't a voice coming from outside and talking to me, but an inner voice, it was like part of me was already grown up and would comment on things and people around me. It was something that kept me frorm making some mistakes, but also set me apart as "the sensible one". Being the sensible one often meant that any mistakes or just being a child were punnished more harshly than those who weren't expected to be sensible. I don't know how else to explain it, but it still pops up occaisionally, often when I'm in a crowd and people are playing silly head games, it shows me what the game is, so as I don't have to play it.

  • Makes complete sense to me.  Not a "voice" in the style of psychosis - more; your conscience or moral compass (yet, strangely wiser than your years).

    Add to that; as a child and teeny I was above average height for my age ... adults could sometimes unreasonably forget my actual age.
