Do you ever feel really childish?

Post Reply New Topic

I may be younger than the average person on here, but I was thinking recently how childish I am. I have 2 children, yet I still avoid doing housework and I often find myself sitting hungry until stupid times (not good whilst pregnant). Obviously, my children don't go hungry. There are sometimes occasions when I've totally forgot to do the washing and I've had to just stay in my pyjamas. Oh, and if avoiding responsibility wasn't enough, I still talk to my teddies.

Are any of you just as hopeless?

I wish my grandkids were still little because I really miss hanging out in toy stores. I love toys.

Yes, quite often.

have never felt 'childish' but have always been called that,am not actualy arsed what people think-will always do what am doing,behave how always behave and like what am liking,this is KoR,if people have a problem with it tough sht,am not the one judging people like that or applying age limits to everything;now that sounds childish and pointless.


marybird,
go into those toy shops,theres nothing wrong with being an adult in one,loads of adults go without kids,just look at disney world and how it attracts childless adults-disney world is just a fake front to sell disney products;aka a toy store.
who says toys are only for kids? am actualy known by name in the local hamleys toy store now.

All the time. It's one of the main reasons why I have social anxiety around peers.

I don't tend to be childish when it comes to responsibility, as I usually have to have everything done and organised otherwise I get really anxious, so my anxiety kind of drives my keeping on top of things, with the exception of when I was in depression. However I do feel childish most of the time in my head, regarding feeling much younger than my age and 'acting' very childish if in the company of people I can be myself with. My boyfriend I am most comfortable with to be myself, and he is equally 'silly' We play 'pretend' games and have imaginary characters and do things like making animal noises, pretending to be cats or fighting like cats, haha (I especially like cats). Yeah, probably proper weird for adults (I am 23 and he is 24). My bedroom also looks like a kids room and my teddies keep me company when I am sad but want to be away from people. I sometimes talk to my teddies when on my own, or if my boyfriend is making them talk to me

You're 18 with 2 kids?! I'm 40, never married and no kids (thank god), and my entire world basically revolves around plushies, video games, and drawing cartoons! And there's nothing wrong with that.

Yes.

My sense of humour can be quite immature, I'm not entirely responsible all of the time, I enjoy lots of juvenile activities, I'm very naive, I don't relate to others in the same way as typically developing people and this has set me back in areas of socialization and founding relationships. Sometimes I feel as though my actual social/emotional age is 14 years old. I think some of these delays and immaturity can be accounted for by having AS, naturally since it is a developmental disorder. However I'm not sure if it's primary or secondary part of its diagnoses. I'd predict a complex interplay of neurological and sociological factors to relate to my inner sense of immaturity.

I and other people tend to think of me as pretty mature, I don't really act like other teenagers, and I'm not really interested in most teenager stuff like social networking or partying, I like mostly politics and things like that. On the other hand, I am quite childish in how I am sometimes. I love toys, like little planes, trains, tanks and cars and stuff, as well as cuddly toys and things. I also love playgrounds and climbing things, and playing in the woods and making forts and stuff, and I like kind of childish pastimes like feeding ducks. It's probably one of the main reasons I don't fit in.

Yes, often.
Thank goodness for Strattera otherwise I'd be behaving childishly.

Yes, lots of the time.
