Do you feel like you're more mature than the average person?

People have told me that I'm "an adult trapped in a child's body" when it comes to a look over the world, being objective etc.

However, I still think I am immature in some ways.

Yes. On Babycenter I see lot of childish behavior and then in Facebook I see childish behavior too. I feel like saying "Can you at least disagree without the insults?" These are adults and they are calling each other names like a**hole, b***h, dumb, and lot of people have blocked this one guy who does insults and anyone who disagrees with him are "dumb" and he calls them that. To me that is elementary school behavior and this guys is how old? Late 40's? He has five kids and has mentioned being over 45. Now that is one bad black and white thinker there.

I feel I am more mature just by how people act and they feel entitled to attack and make fun of people when they feel insulted when all the OP did was asked a curious question. They can't at least be rational about it?


Yeah I feel really mature when I see this behavior online. I don't care if it's the internet, you're still immature when you act that way. I also think it's cowardly to get online and insult people and say things to their face you wouldn't say in real life to people's faces.


But then in other ways I am immature.

no i feel alot younger...anywhere from 2 to `15 but mostly around 9/10 i think?

Nothing makes me feel more mature than reading about idiots insulting their mothers over an argument about which gaming console is better over the interwebs.

A bit of both. Especially when my male friends when I was at university would talk About sex obsessively like some aspergians might talk about a special interest! Lol and of course I didn't but I get it sex is fun but I don't want to talk about it 24/7 it's stupid inmature boring discussion to me. And they laugh at people that look or dress different and I never get it but I laugh a bit to join in but I don't really care!

Not at all, but mostly definitely.

This makes absolutely no sense but I don't know how else to explain it.

It's hard to say. In some ways, I feel much more mature, and it's hard for me to believe that some people have a job/are the parents or guardians of kids when they seem to behave like five year olds themselves. But in other ways, I feel as if I've been somehow left behind and am much younger.

... NT people, to me, seem to overreact a lot. Always shrieking with laughter or gasping with shock or making such a fuss about the pettiest things. That seems immature to me. I suppose I'm the 'flat effect' kind of Aspie in terms of emotional display. But then I react strongly or badly to other things that they barely notice.

Intellectuallly and in a self-aware sense? Yes.
Emotionally? Definitely not. I get far too swayed by things. This could explain why all my friends are creative types.

Um, no, I'm nowhere near as mature as my chronological age might suggest.

Depends on the situation. Sometimes I could act like a 10 year old and blurt out the stupidest things, and at other times i'm not amused by anything.

My father once commented that I was born an old man, which seems about right...

Nope, I feel like I am less mature!
