Do you like being the age you are now?

Would you rather be younger or older and why?

I wish I was younger as my issues caused me to miss out on most of my younger years and inside, I am nowhere near my biological age. It is almost painful being stuck inside a 31 yr old form.

I also missed out on a lot of opportunities when I was younger. I wanted to have my college degree when I was 22, I will likely be 30 when I get it.

Indeed Graelwyn, I am sad about what I have missed out on because of the ME/CFS more than the AS though.

Thats nothing Tim, I still don't have my degree but I could stack up another year or two part time and finish; if I did that I would be nigh on 50 or more when I got mine, so theres plenty of time

Anorexia and AS for me. Anorexia wasted around 10 years of my life on and off.

About time I actually replied to this and answered my own question lol

I am in my forties and it has been the best age ever; I have been the most contented, the most fulfilled and I know what I like and don't like and more of the reasons now than ever before. I have also had the most fun.

I would hate to be a teenager or late thirties again. Late twenties I was healthiest and that would be my second choice of age.

I don't like the age I am now (I'm 13). I always make my family mad at me at least once a week and it has even gotten to the point that my mother fears coming home because of me. She's always threatening of sending me to military school.

I feel emotionally younger than my chronological age and it infuriates me.

Same here! I'm 32 and I think I've just reached the same level of awareness and understanding of the world as my friends did when they were 22.

If I could take 10 years off my physical age whilst retaining my knowledge, everything would be balanced once more.

I am 36 but feel more like 24 (some would say younger).
I like it this way: a rather sheltered life but i would not want to change it.
However i would rather actually be 24 again though.

Absolutely - I couldn't agree more with this. I feel like I wasted a lot of opportunities when i was younger because of my lack of understanding of my social problems.

Except I'd like to take 20 years off, being a touch older :lol:

I'd rather just wise up and act my age... a concept I can't seem to grasp and embrace just yet.
