I'm 41. On most days, I'm about as mature as the average 16-year-old...though sometimes, for all intents and purposes, I'm 5. Intellectually, I'm "gifted" and a member of Mensa, so I can seem, when speaking, like a very serious older person, I guess. To add to the dilemma, I'm only physically and mentally attracted to much younger men. I simply can't relate socially/emotionally/culturally with any male who's anywhere near my chronological age, and I find the aging male body to be utterly repugnant. I also look much younger than I am, as I've no facial wrinkles at all and only the first traces of faint lines here and there. I still get carded pretty often when purchasing alcohol. Very Happy

I'm 26, but I think I stopped aging mentally at 18. And even at that I still watch kids cartoons and stuff. :p
My daughter will love that in a few years we can watch em together! :p

I'm 51, but I don't feel 51. I don't feel much different than I have since my twenties. I don't look 51, either, thank you genetics. Last week, someone said to me "51??? I thought you were, like, 35!" So I'll enjoy it while I can, because I'm getting old.

27 chronologically; about 16 or 17 in my head. It was the last time I was able, to a limited extent, to act my age. I certainly haven't "moved on", "taken off" or any other metaphor that applies to my twenty-something peers.

I have the same "problem," looking to be in my 30's when I am 50. I guess I can start enjoying the compliments, but I always feel uncomfortable when they come. Embarassed

My bi-polar makes me time travel. When I'm happy I'm 12. When I'm angry, frustrated and focused I'm 200.
Right now I'm about 108...

Time travel. I like that. Today, at the supermarket with a friend, I told her that if I weren't fully grown, I would probably have thrown myself on the floor, and cried and kicked my feet, because of sensory overload. That would make me about 3, I guess. Very Happy

Those were the days where you had no care in the world and kicking and screaming was as natural as picking your nose. I remember I would often after eating a full meal start making growly moaning sounds and slip down under the table from my chair and just lie there and squirm, felt nice to let out a huge under the dinner table battle cry after finishing a grown mans meal when you were 12 .
