I'm still quite naive in a lot of situations and this makes me feel younger, almost childish. Having said that, when I look at the way lots of people behave, I'm actually quite sensible; I just can't read between the lines or avoid the traps.
Ona purely social front, I feel like I'm about 15 - 20 years behind my actual age, but at least I guess it's improving. |

Now that I'm chronologically in my early thirties, I mentally feel at least 18. I still love all things sophomoric though.

Socially I do. I would say that I feel somewhere between 16 and 24 years old, in that area. Lately though, I feel like I'm catching up to my actual age, at an advanced rate. Probably due to the fact that I finally got my anxiety under control(somewhat), and am starting to "normalize". By the time I'm 40, I might actually feel like I'm 40, although somehow I doubt it.

I was going to say the same. I'm 24 but I feel like I'm 44. Before I shaved my mustache people thought I was older but now that it is gone, a lot of people think I'm younger. It doesn't bother me but I wish I could enjoy my youth while I still have it.

Generally...yes.
Physically 34 but mentally I often feel as though I'm about 7.

No. I feel no different to when I was half my age! Now that I'm in my mid-30s, that's beginning to fill me with panic. I still haven't done adult things such as buying a car, taking out a home loan or getting married, and I wonder if I'll ever be able to "crack" how to work towards doing such things now. Especially since a lot of people such as relatives and employers have assumed me not to be capable of such. |

I'm 30 but everyone thinks I'm around 20-23. I seem to have more to talk about with much older or much younger people , but generally dont get on with (nt) ppl my own age.

Depends.
I've always felt myself to be a middle-aged crank/crotchety misanthrope, but when I am required to be in a group of my "peers" then I "feel" like a wet-backed kid... especially when some 30-somthing starts talking about his kid in Highschool.
Kids... the one "adult" experience I'll never have except as an Uncle...

I can't relate to NT women my age. At work, I hang out with women between 25 and 63 years of age! I feel like I am socially still a young adolescent. I haven't had the same life experiences as my peers like proms, sleepovers, etc. I have never lived on my own.....I married when I was 17 and had a severely disabled child, which now that I look back, was a good thing for me as she taught me to come out of myself and be responsible for someone else. She had Down's, Autism, Epilepsy and was deaf. She passed away 5 years ago at the age of 23. If it weren't for my experience with her, I wouldn't have the job I have now. I don't make enough to support myself, but it's extra money to contribute to some of the bills.
When I was in my 20's people thought I was a teenager. In my 30's, they thought I was in my 20's, but now I think I must be aging because when I tell people I'm 46, I don't get the shocked reaction |

I've never felt my age. The number shown on my profile for my age attests to my lack of age association.
Sometimes I'm quite childlike in a fresh, wondering sort of way, other times I feel older than the hills. I have a feeling of having seen everything there is to see and have done everything there is to do. However at the same time I have a childlike naivety and innocence. Age is weird.
