I've always felt old. When I was 12-15 y.o. posting on different history boards most people thought I was a guy in his mid-30s or late 20s. I have no idea how old I feel but I certainly don't act or think like everyone else I know in my age group

I've been told I look 15/16 years old despite being almost 20 years old. I'm the second eldest in my big family and I often get mistaken for being the youngest! Socially I don't really know for sure but generally I would say I'm 2 - 3 years behind with everything socially

I'm 46, my wife is 32....and every time my wife shows her co-workers a picture of us together and then tell them how old I am, she says their collective jaws drop and they say they'd have never guessed it, that we both look the same age. (Mother Nature has been a bit kinder to me in terms of physical aging.) I also feel like I'm 10-15 years younger than I am, while my wife says she feels 10-15 years older than she is, so we actually tend to balance each other out quite nicely.

I had a drinking problem in my 20s. I could never socialize unless I had a few drinks in me, which allowed me to shed my own shyness and insecurity and join in with my peers. Since I found I loved to socialize, that also meant I had to inbibe often. You know how the college years are when a typical person goes through his partying stage, and then he graduates college he puts that mentality behind him? Well, I never outgrew that stage. Even into my late-20s and early-30s I was still behaving like a college freshman. It was only after getting into trouble a bunch of times that I finally decided it was time to get my head outta my ass and grow up. I closed that chapter of my life and turned the page. However, it's said that when a person starts drinking, his emotional growth stops, and when the alcoholic finally sobers up, he finds that his mentality is still where it was when he first started. And this is certainly true with me, though now I'm not entirely sure if my stunted emotional growth was caused from my drinking or my AS...or a combination of the two.

Every now and then I'll see pictures in the newspaper of a high-school reunion of people who graduated around the same time as myself, and I always think that these people can't be the same age as me, they look much older....more like their parents! I mean, they're old, and fat, and bald.....and I'm not. :lol:

I am 27 but also feel like I am in my teens. I often get mistaken from anywhere from 19-23 years old....which after awhile gets annoying when I WANT to be a 'normal' 27-year-old. I recently joined the Junior League because I feel like those woman emulate what I want to be...successful, fashionable and classy woman. All of which I don't consider myself at all! I still look, feel, and act like a teenager, which bugs me to no end. I want to change, but just don't know how!

My 50 year old auntie (NT) is fashionable and classy, but she got asked for ID in a shop once when she asked for some cigerettes.

maybe either the cashier was very unaware of the signs of aging, or he(it) was paranoid about dealing with intransigence in any form. i become prone to intransigence, and it most often results in some sort of grief. nothing transpires in my world after i have a problem with any aspect of it.

such is life.

I am 26 but I feel like a 40 year old man in my head. All my friends are in their late 30s/early 40s and I don't feel any age difference until someone makes a rude and irritating comment about me being young that reminds me.

I think I am so desperate to be older too that I've tricked my body into ageing, as I certainly don't feel like I have a young persons body - I have a bad back and have to take day time naps a lot, I just don't have the energy I should have at my age.

In some respects though I am very immature - like I am terrible with money and can never motivate myself to tidy up, have no desire to have children or responsibility and the idea of having a 9-5 job makes me want to slit my wrists.
