Do you ever feel like you're lying to the person you're with? They think you're mature and relatively emotionally stable and the whole time you're thinking....wait, but I'm not....even though you've managed to carry on a mature relationship for 8 months without blowing it with some stupid teenager antic?

Major insecurity or pretty common? Cause...well, I keep waiting to feel my age and it just never comes. Instead I'm consistently surprised by my birthdate, my accomplishments and the fact that I'm likely in a mature, adult relationship. Weird.

In my head, I'm always about 27.

Alas, the mirror tells a very different story...lol.

I am actually an oversized 12-year-old with premature laugh lines. I don't feel like I have a clue what I'm doing about 80% of the time.

Sometimes, yes. But then I see or hear stories about people older than myself doing something incredibly stupid and then I start to feel like I'm way older than my age.

I’ve often felt that “adult” was a promotion away.

Until I can make that substantive step out of essentially entry-level paychecks, I will always be stuck at an entry-level life. Thus constrained, I would rather adopt the consumption habits of entry-level people than impoverish myself chasing a life I cannot pay for.

I'm going to be 30 in about a year and half. It feels weird. My sister agrees. She has me stuck at about 22. I've been in school for six years, which does little to help me feel my age. I'm surrounded by people barely out of their teens!! lol Add to that the fact that the young adults group at my church has an average age of about 20 and there's one more reason for me to feel like a youngster.

Not only do I not always feel like an adult, I cannot believe I've got a daughter who is 18 and legally nearly one herself!

I am pretending. I don't have any children to remind me of my age either. Sometimes I do shock myself when I actually think about my age because I certainly don't feel 42. My sister was a grandmother at 36. No idea how that might have felt. What really snaps me in the face is when I see some other guys my age or younger with young adults and I realize they are his kids. Then again I have one friend two years younger than me who has a couple kids and he looks, moves and acts like an old man. Maybe it's because I don't take life that seriously (I do when I have to) that keeps me feeling younger. I'll be an adult when I'm old and gray, no time now.

No but I'm always pretending to be a child! I think an adult, yeah isn't that the inflexible grouchy person? Who can't laugh and/or have spontaneous fun anymore?

I've got to go find my toys...and put them away...before bedtime.
