Anyone else feel mentally left behind?

[CoolGuy9]

I brought this up in a previous post, but wanted to ask generally. Personally I'm 19, but I feel like i'm 12.

I do as well. I'm in my 20s but feel like I'm mentally a child.

 

[Jc40]

Same. I'm treated as such too

Do you have a learning disability?

 

[Gray Wounds]

No. But mine's actually the opposite. I'm 18 but I feel like I'm 50.

"Feel like" crops up a lot. To me, it illustrates that you feel a difference between who you feel you are and who you think you should be. Ask yourself why there's that difference. Often times, it's only you that thinks that you 'should be' this or that (nobody else gives a damn) You've created that 'should be' image, it doesn't belong to anyone else, so you can equally destroy it.

Act as you feel, whether that be 12 or 50. Even if only to see where it takes you and how it feels. Let everyone else be damned.

Happy 12th...

The time to worry is when you're 45 but LOOK 70 or 80.

This new format is a bit weird.

Why is my reply to CoolGuy9 lumped together with my reply to Mort?

 

[Pentobartbital]

Why yes.

The body of a seventy year old invalid and the mind of a child.

At twenty seven life becomes much less bearable when enriching reading, fulfilling writing and once crisply eloquent and supremely productive discourse are infeasible.

Eh???

@JWL

my body feels ancient and my mental faculties are almost nonexistent. As someone who once enjoyed reading, writing and speaking, the contrast is overwhelming and part of why I yearn to self-terminate.

 

[CoolGuy9]

I get treated like that sometimes too and I just usually think to myself that this hurt my feelings, but it's better this way.

Do you have a learning disability?

Not that I know of, but wouldn't be surprised at this point.

No. But mine's actually the opposite. I'm 18 but I feel like I'm 50.

How does that work?

I am 24, just thick as sh*t. So yeah I feel miles behind myself and everyone else.
