I am 22.

But i think my mind is stuck somewhere between 14/16.
why?
My goals in life are ridiculous.
I judge people based on looks.
My parents support me not only financially, but other ways as wel

I'd like to grow up, but my mind is so weak.

Anyone else? buehler?

i'm 20.. but i feel 18
probably because i'm still shocked how old i became.

I'm 20 but feels like 30. *sigh*
Sometimes I feel like going through midlife-crisis 24/7.

btw, what are your goals in life? how ridiculous are they?

I'm 24, uni graduate, working a career job full time, independent, and own my apartment. Sounds mature right?

The way I act, is usually immature. You'll find me starting tickle fights, playing video games, talking like I was still in university/highschool, and partying when I can.

I like it this way, I'm happy. You will eventually be forced to be mature in certain aspects of your life once you finish studying, but for now, live it up. Enjoy your naive thoughts.

I'm 20... almost 21, but I feel like I'm younger sometimes. Just with the way I think, how I talk, and how I am in general. Those who know me really well, can say that I can be pretty immature at times. I mean, words and jokes that sound dirty to me makes me crack up sometimes. But then it's interesting because a lot of people who talk to me or whatever, say that I act way too mature... like I'm in my 30s+ because of the way I talk, think, and act. I get complaints about it all the time. So... I don't know, it's odd whenever I think about it :T

i'm over 25.

i still think/talk/act like a person in early 20s.
plus, my bff is 20 y.o and I work with college student workers. So it's hard to act like my age.

i don't want to be ooolldddddd

I'm 25, and most of the times with my friends, I act goofy and pop immature jokes (like I'd be 18). I enjoy life that way.

When I'm by myself, I think of deeper things about life, future plans, career and all. If I have the opportunity to discuss this with someone, it's usually with my best friend.

I think being young at heart is key to anenjoyable life, though we have to know there are times to get serious also.

I'm 23, I live alone far, far away from my parents making my own living, but....I still fall for boybands, play videos games, and I don't like wearing formal attire. I find myself having more fun talking with the students I tutor rather than talking to people my own age. Sometimes I wonder if there's something wrong with me like my brain is stuck at a certain age.

heh..I'm 21 and I act childish all the time LOL....yes I do the most ridiculous things sometimes and I don't know why..
and when I'm at home I like to babied but that's not gonna happen AHAHA XD..I still act like a fan girl when it comes to Big Bang and hot guys o_o
I haven't taken my studies seriously this quarter..

however I am by myself here, I work...but my dad and some of my reletives pay for my school, spending money and the rest I earn on my own

I'm 22, I work fulltime, and I prefer Disney movies, cartoons, etc over serious, dramatic, type movies. I still play video games/computer games and I still act like a kid sometimes. I think i've matured in areas that need maturing but I have kept my good childish traits as well.

Nice...

I'm in my late twenties, and all of my direct employees range from 8 to 22years older than me. The saddest part is I'm probably the most mature person in the office (it's great that they enjoy themselves and sad that I'm such a boring loser).

I'm just an old soul... was more like a parental figure to my younger brothers... I've been getting by on my own financially and accomodation-wise since a few weeks after wrapping up high school. I often hold back what I say or do out of the fear that somone will peg me for an idiot.

I guess I'm doing quite well financially and career-wise, but honsetly, I have no goals in life. I was living my goal at one point, but it was taken away from me... I guess that kinda sucked most of the joy out of my life. Unfortunately, that goal cannot be obtained again (for realz, yo).

i'm 20 going soon to be senior in college..
i do disneymania karaoke with my 21 yr old roommate on a daily basis
watch morning cartoons before i go off to lectures
fail in the kitchen (microwaved a chestnut cause i couldnt figure out how to cook it =___=)
i went to study at the beach with my friends since it was such a nice day ...everyone studied...i went off and started playing with the sand and singing to myself. some time later i feel people looking at me -____- my friends had a WTF expression ahahahaha.....^^;;

growing up sucks =(

good to know we're not alone, huh?

i'm 23 with a full-time job but i think instead of growing up i'm actually growing down. if that makes sense. when i was younger, i was serious and thought way ahead for my years (your typical old soul), but now i feel like i act as if i'm 16 most of the time. case in point, it is only now that i have any feelings of fangirlism (which is sad cos the boys i'm fangirling are younger than me ). i don't wanna change it though. i like myself the way i am.

I am 29 but no one would believe it when they see me. I don't even feel 29. It feels like I stopped counting since I turned 21. I still fall for boybands and fangirl over them. Most of the time, I have a hard time admitting my age to my fellow fangirls so I just don't say my age when people ask me. I just want them to acknowlege me as who they see me and not be stereotype on what my age no is.

I am different when I work though. I take my work seriously but everything about me is young. Maybe because I grew up being the youngest all the time. Currently, I quit my job for almost a year now, because I was seriously unhappy at my job although it paid well. All I do is stay at home study nihongo, listen / watch Japanese and sometimes Korean pop culture and fangirling most of the time. I have been living on my savings which is about to be gone soon. I actually need to start deciding where to go. I am confused most of the time and a bit depressed.

I quit my job to do some soul searching and in order to find myself and hopefully find the path I want to take. I am not very succesful in that aspect yet. If it wasn't for Asian Pop. I would have gone fully depressed, lost and unhappy. Silly at it may sound. This is one of the few of the biggest joy and happiness in my life as of the moment.

I don't know if I should leave the fandom and focus on other things or still keep it. The Asian fandom keeps my happy and sane. I don't know what to do.

Seriously.

I'm 30, moved overseas, full time job, and all that entails. But i still crack toilet humour jokes, make odd noises, laugh really loud, play video games, watch anime, and all that sort of stuff. ie I'm stuck at 22 or something

I'm a weird mix of mature and immature. I'm really mature when it comes to romantic relationships (ie: I've never been clingy and/or possessive, even when I was a teen) and my job, but I think I need to balance it by being silly sometimes, too. I'm a big time jokester and I'm the friend that makes everybody else laugh while we're all hanging out together.

So, I'd say my maturity level is mid-20s-ish, though I'm only just 20-years-old.

so basically in a few years you'll act your age? HAHAHAH

lol

i dont know if i'll ever grow up.

im immature but responsible?

Or will I always just act a few years older than I actually am? Hmm...

=P that wouldn't be as much fun. take things less seriously, laugh at people and yourself from time to time. My dad is 63 this year and he can act like a 20 year old times. In fact sometimes our humour degenerates to the same level as mine and my brothers....

I'm early 20's but i think like i'm in my 30's ..............

Looking at boybands makes me feel old cos I don't really like any young/new uns. Plus all the ones who are getting noticed are getting younger than me..........starting to feel my age.......

I was going to say something like this, and I agree with Meenuh too. There's a big difference between childish and child-like. I think a lot of those things some other people might think of as 'immature', are actually things that are part of our lives--and really aren't immature as such. Stuff like watching anime (especially since the people that make anime/cartoons are mostly in their 30s and 40's+), playing video games--some people have careers because of things like that. Immature to me is (for the most part--not what you like, or things you do--but moreso, how you act--) what my friend's ex-husband used to do--he thought it was so funny to take the salt and pepper shaker covers and switch them around, so people would ruin their food if they dumped the pepper on it instead of salt--or he would loosen the tops on others, so the bottle would empty on their plates... ha ha. -.- That was just one small thing, but they added up. He was 34 at the time. maybe someone here would think it was funny--but you also have to think what if that person was eating their only meal of the day? Or that was all they could afford.

I don't think we have to give a lot of things up just because we get older. My friends from school have told me I haven't changed much, and it's fine with me--they're glad, too. I have no kids or husband, but I still have responsibilities. And sometimes--certain things are hard to deal with. We need the things that make us happy to help us through, no matter how small or ridiculous other people might think they are.



LOL



if you hadn't said the last bit, I would have asked if you wanted to keep your sanity. =x Why should you give it up? Especially if it helps you get through life, and you have no problems doing other things--why not keep it? The things I do and care about and like/love--like music, like you, and for the same reason-don't know what I would do w/ them.

Haha! My dad is the exact same way. He, my brother (who is 18 ), and I are always causing trouble and being goofy when we're out in public. My mom just sits and silently rolls her eyes in the background. She says she feels like she has three little kids...

I mean, like I said earlier, I'm the group jokester. But when it's time to be serious and mature, I can handle it. ::shrug:: It's all about balance.

hmm...
i'm 23, but i don't think that i act like a 23 year old.
people tend to think that I am 19 or 20,
because i am "too damn cheerful" (my friend's words)

i like to give away candy or compliment random people on their outfits and such.
because...it's nice to inject a little sunshine in peoples lives, isn't it?

i'm still a little boy at heart even at the age of 20

I feel that I act roughly < 15 years old, but I have heard contradictory things from my friends and coworkers. Many say I act a lot older than I really am (21 BTW). I assume that is a result of my cynicism, but who knows?

Hey, at least you're not like my 21 year old friend. He throws a fit whenever things don't go his way(basically you have no opinion), his mother still babies him AND he still asks her to put sunblock on him. ew

haha. Funny how you stated that you start tickle fights and play video games.

Anyways, I'm 22, going onto 23 this year. I've been told I look like a 17~18 year old... and I sometimes I act like a 17~18 year old too?
In my case, I act really happy-go-lucky most of the time and it may seem that I act blindly optimistic to all sorts of situations (not like I'm overconfident or like that on purpose) and sometimes make unrealistic goals for myself. I also say the most random-est and stupidest things ever whenever I joke around/talk with people and laugh things off.
It's nice to have some fun and not let things get to you. =p
But... I could be mature when I need to.... like... at work. -__-


lol. Similar with me.

I think maturity is being able to separate the idiocy from the serious, which is why I don't think I'm fully mature yet.... in the middle of something serious I can usually come up with a way for a laugh. Someone once said that I have laughing eyes and the sort of expression that is just waiting for a chuckle

I sometimes think I am still four years old. I stare around a lot and I don't pay attention to those around me. I'd rather observe the things around me and think about random things than try to make conversation with people. I also blurt out stuff sometimes and my friends stare at me like, "Where the eff did that come from?" I also am absolutely entranced with fandoms though I'm 23 now. It's never a bad thing to cling onto the child within, and to try to keep a bit of innocence with you. That's what all those wise folks tell us anyway. I think people who try too hard to be "grown up" are total a-holes and they can't see past dollars and cents. I'm like a hippie; let's not worry too much about making and just enjoy life. When you're old and gray, if you've never had any fun, why were you saving up all that money for anyway?

Yeah, I think I just gave an ADD rant.

Eh, I don't know about immaturity. I'm one of the more responsible people I know...
But I share more common characteristics and I'd much rather spend time with my nine year old sister than many of my peers. I don't know if it's because she's really that awesome or I'm just like that.

We're twelve years apart, so we kinda Benjamin-Button it (in case you didn't get that reference, we pretty much meet in the middle). Other people have observed that perhaps because of my close relationship with her, I've retained some of her innocence and naivete and she is... surprisingly well-adjusted and extremely mature for her age.

i think my mind is old but my heart is still young??
i dont judge people on looks as much,
i always think about how they are as a person to their friends, family, etc.
that would bother me the most than their looks most of the time.

i still rely on my parents for lotts of financial things,
but i think im learning and moving on from that slowly.

i think i have my goals in life okay.
i know that i dont want to be dependent on others forever.
im 21 and it's hard to act that way sometimes,
but i rather be mature and safe, then immature and sorry when im 30.
that's how realistic i am.

I'm a victim of immaturity and I gotta say I love it. I will laugh at anything and sorry, I won't find anything serious (there are exceptions however). If I hear about accidents or death, I judge the way they died on a scale based out of 10 and will probably be laughing at how crazy their accident/death was.

Compared to my friends who are of the same age as I am, I feel a little bit older because either I act too mature or my friends are very childish. I'm only 22, but I'm trying to get my life together so I can be successful, bright young woman, but I do know how to have fun at the same time. Sometimes it gets annoying though when you try to communicate with someone who doesn't know how to be mature at certain times.



Oh, but I enjoy playing my DS, Animals Crossing, Soon-to-be-Sims 3, watching reality TV shows and the Hills LOL.

If you want to change, then do so.

Sometimes it takes hard work.

I am 20 and I will be 21 this year.I am immature. I live at home still.
I am in college, but still don't know what I want to do. I laugh at stupid
things and at the wrong times. I am becoming more mature and I
am when it comes to certain things, but I still have some growing up to do.

I've been told by friends and family that I think like a 30+ year old, ever since I was 3

I feel like I don't have much luck with girls MY age because girls my age are very mature. My friends are mature, they are not kiddy like me. I act more like a younger person and so perhaps I should look for slightly younger women... like 20 years old or 21. That might work out better I don't know. Or find a girl equally kiddy but my age. It's hard man.. I still laugh at spongebob. My friends think it's dumb.

LOL that is hilarious.

I think I look, act, and think like my age.
Whenever I meet new people, I ask them how old they think I am, and they almost always reply "21" (give or take 1-2 years)

Im 23, married have my own house sounds like im 30. Thing is i act like im 16 half the time...Im so immature, I will laugh at stupid things like the word poo. Or laugh at people that look funny. Sometimes at work I shout out to people "hey yellow coat guy" in a funny voice then run and hide.

Think I need to grow up.

At my silliest, I'd say I act immature. But I know when to stop and have a handle on when my actions are appropriate.

It's kind of funny really, most of my teenaged life from 7th grade to high school involved me trying to act or 'be' older. I guess you can say I've kind of reversed that attitude ever since college came along. Seeing how soon I'll be a part of the 'real world' makes me grasp onto my youth even more.

Well I'm 21 and I believe I'm pretty mature when I want to be serious. I know when enough is enough.
I just know how to be a kid at heart as well : ) because who wants to be serious all the time and not have any fun while growing up?
Well there's a certain limit an adult can go of course, but mostly as an adult myself, I prefer to have fun in life and enjoy even the littlest(or the most stupid) things that make me laugh or smile.

But no, I don't see myself immature. But there are times where even adults can be immature.

gonna be 23 soon..
will graduate college in few weeks..

i don't think i'm matured.. i act like i'm 18..
my mom supports me financially.. until now.. i never work before.. does internship count as working??
my college is quite far from my hometown, sometimes i'll end up crying bcoz of homesick.. lol..

heh it's good to know there's heaps of you guys who feel younger lol!
i'll be 21 next month and i still laugh at things even my 13 year old brother wouldn't laugh at. but only when i'm with friends and we're having fun
when i'm at work i feel like i need to act older than i am, out of respect. i think there's a time and place to be those ways (;

I play different roles for different audiences:

At work and with colleagues, I'm mature and responsible
At home or with parents and siblings, I'm in between
With best friends, probably immature in terms of being silly and joke around, laughing a lot!!

I'm late 20s, but according to an FB quiz, my true age is 14! LOL....
I do want the keep the kid inside of me, who always look at the world with wonder and free imagination... also displaying some maturity feature for survival in this crazy world.

I tend to usually act my age. Though every now and then i like to loose a sense of maturity and have some good childish fun. Then I realize it and feel ashamed.

I want to act 16 again.. but the young professional world makes me feel so old o.O

21 but i definitely do not look 21..i look 18 or something hahah i still got that kid inside me..
