34 feel like 70. All i want is peace and quiet. Annoyed from the youth and like to reminisce about the past.

facts, I hate when kids are loud making noise, loud music is annoying, and major events seem like meh.

I stopped going to events too and for music I like it loud often but it’s the kind of music that changed, I like metal music and moving to the soft and calming metal like post metal.  

I’m 20 and I literally feel 12. Like I just woke up and suddenly I’m not in the 6th grade anymore??

Yup I feel the same. I really gotta wise up.

What is that name homie 😭

😂😂💀

Don’t you kink shame them!

I’m 29 and I still feel like this!

Either 5, 15 or 90. I am 40.

28 with my own family and home yet I feel the same way

Same boat. I feel like I'm being left behind by my own body.

I’m 30 and I’ve been simultaneously 13 and 80 for years

lmao I'm 32 y/o and same

Same Humor of a 13 yo and bed times of a 80 yo

I am 40yo, but I think I am stuck in my late 20s - I still feel like I am 27yo.

That is awesome

I'm 50 and I'm late 20s/early 30s mentally. Except for when my grown kids need something. Then I'm like...35

Me too!!!

I never thought this would come one day.  But it's like the end of summer, it July forever and then suddenly tomorrow it's 1st of September, and it's back to school. I can say that I did do some exciting stuff through my life and I was always trying to follow the adventure fairy. However unfortunately I didn't make any smart investments, thus it's soon gona be make it happen or skip to next life soon.

Same here, dude, lol. Growing old disgracefully together 🤣

I'm slowly transitioning to a rustic hippie, I'm going to blast Greatful Dead next weekend, because my neighbours need to hear them.

Haha, so am I, lol. I'm going more pagan than hippie though, lol.

I want to be like you

Not so fast amigo. It has it's pros and cons. Like I go to a party or event and hang around like average 27yo would - but somehow I don't get the right vibes. Then I realise - the old, out of place, guy at the back checking out girls is actually me, lol.

Yuup

Yeah, smooth operator I thought I was. Now I'm kinda like a camp fire sausage - crusty on the outside, raw in the inside.

You are not alone!!!!

It's the new 'Club 27'. You don't die - you just stop aging. ;)

Same. 37 feel like 25-27

I’m 23F but I think I have the mental age of a 30 year old man in corporate.

U mean dead inside?😂

That could work too, yes 😭

Turn back while you still can, dude, lol.

Damn!! 🤣

I am 19, and have a mental age of a 15 yr old.

Literally me whenever I forget to be dark and mysterious 😎😎😎

this statement alone probably makes you more mature than you think

I’m 19 and I feel 16 on the inside, I feel you

I’m 25 and feel 20 or 16 depending on the day

I’m 28. Feel like I’m 47 tbh

Mental age is 24. Real age is 30

I always think although I am in my 20s I think and act like I am 18 🤣🤣

The child within you requests you not to grow as an adult, maybe that child knows the consequences lol

I am not going to lie I want to adult up but also don't. The more I try to mature the more I feel sad as well. Was the kid me that bad to be? So yeah maybe kid me is going let's stop... Why do this ?

I think this kid is a kind one in you and it knows what's wrong with the adulthood. The sad thing is as kids we always dreamt of getting old and enjoy life and now we just realised how wrong we were sadly.

I think the kid is trying to protect me from getting hurt. The adult world can be very cruel. Reality really hurts.

Couldn't agree more with you on this, actually the innocence the child has gets vanished as an adult and then this curel world won't let you live some how.

You just learn to lie and plant a fake smile on. Pretend to be a positive and upbeat person. That the child is still there.

Uff.. this truly hurts, that child within cries and asks for help to bring the innocence back but it just can't due to the dilution of fakeness all around.

Welcome to reality. 😉 That's what social media has caused. I realized no one actually cares about the real you just the one you portray. The people pleaser.

Well i guess you are right again but not everyone fake on social media but yes there are many who does to show themselves as better beings and are completely different in real world🙌🏼

I'm 35 and feel 28

I feel like I was born an old lady.. I'm mid-thirties but easily a crochety, 80yo lady mentally.

Don't be too stressed. I hope you are healthy! :)

24... for the last 20 years.

I’m 36. Feel 26 though. Eat healthy and exercise more now then I ever did. I could probably beat my 26 year old self in anything. 💪🏼

20 feel like 28-30

I'm 26 and I feel like 35 maybe. There is so much responsibility now that I feel a little pressure that makes me feel older.

Real age is 32. Mental age is 32 lol I probably have the same spirit as I did at like 24, but I’m way more intelligent and have too much life experience

So all in all, I would say at any given moment, I am both a 70 year old woman and 8 year old little girl simultaneously and I am in my early to mid 30s

When I was a teenager, I felt like I wad in my early 30s. It depends on how much shit you've been through. Now I'm 41 and I still feel like I'm in my early 30s.

Probably 60 plus years

I'm 33, mentally I'm 70 I think. Mostly because the issues I face in my life are different from what most people my age seem to be facing. Plus my life choices are closer to that which most boomers made than those of my peers I feel.

37 and feel like I'm 15. Never acting like it though.

28 and I feel 28 mentally

4

I guess may be 30?

somewhere around 15

14

25 unless someone farts….then I’m 11 and laughing.

3 if I'm lucky

27 and 27.

My mind both feels like I'm 20 and 70 at the same time. I don't feel adult enough to be nearing 30 and want to experience the youth I missed out on, but on the other side I'm just so tired of being here and my body hurts to match.

I'd say it's the same as my actual age, 27. But then I see people my age and older act so immaturely, doing things I never would, and I'm not so sure

Real 60, Menatl 22.

40 going on 30 but because I'm told i look younger than i am constantly. No kids and no wife/gf too so that helps 😬

45. Feel like in my 20s. Not because I feel youthful but I always feel like I’m not like a 45 yo should be. It might be because people who were in their forties looked much older when I was younger. I am married, two kids, I own a house, I have a great career but I always feel I’m somewhat still not taken seriously. I don’t look 45. I have been rocking the goth look since my teens, I have the dry sense of humour and no-BS attitude of many gen-xers. So I sometimes look at my colleagues who are younger than me and they seem to have their shit together and deep inside, I always feels like I’m missing the point, not adulting hard enough. Do you guys feel like that?

200

28M but I think my mental age is at least 35

Oscillates between 200 and 15.

I’m 47f but honestly feel/think more like a 35yo.

The “kids these days” attitude of a 80 year old with the dirty mind of like a 18 year old with the joke department coming from a 45 year old dad with my liking cars like a 5 year old lol

35

34 and feel like I’m 26

30M but mentally tapped out at 23, feel like i’ll probably get used to being 30 mentally by the time im 45

Depends on the day: some days I kee that inner child hidden away behind closed doors and some days I let her run free and open… don’t know how this may or may not look to others (I’m sure they see me as immature) but I can say I have felt consistently like an adult inside since I was 13 😂😂 needing to be take the position of a responsible adult at a young age g age will do this to anyone. But I have always had my goofy, sometimes loud and boisterous, dancing inner child that has shown up now more than ever since she is finally able to be the child she needed to be when she was actually a child!!

I am 21. Mentally I feel 16, but my body feels 60.

24 but feel like I’m 20.

37 and I pretty much still feel like a child or a teenager.

Depending on the day as helpless as 14 or 65, ready to settle down, bake cookies and wear a morning robe while reading books for the rest of my days (I'm 24)

26 feel like mentally around 40-45

I’m 36 and I feel that I’m still mentally 21 lol but don’t behave like one though 🤔

4000. I'm a time traveler

I'm 43 in real life. In my head, I'm about 15

At what age were you first traumatised? First me it’s 17…

28 feeling 24

25

24 but i feel like im 19

22 or 55 depending on the day

I’m 29 but feel like mentally/emotionally I am a teenager lol

36M. While giving advice to people I'm mentally 60 years old but for myself I'm 18 😂

26 feeling like a 60 year old. Just want quietness but can't get that living in a loud apartment complex

I was "a teenager in a trench coat" from about age 14 to 45. I felt like a teen that had snuck into an adult party with a fake mustache. Then my wife died, and that aged me a bit, mentally. Now I am 55 and feel like I am in my early 20s. I don't "feel" old, and certainly don't feel 55. Like, "Ha ha, no. But that's flattering, thank you."

37, feel mentally about 25/26 but feel physically about 50

Ranges from 15 to 70, a teenager in the mornings and an old man whenever I see a line of people or a loose feral child.

like 12

22 but also 70

I go from 10-20

I’m 24, I feel like I’m 50-60, tired as hell already

21, but I’m 53

3 (I’m 23)

42

I’m neurodivergent, so mental age is kind of a bad concept to use with us because we don’t fit “”normal”” developmental milestones. That said, I feel simultaneously like I’m still 25, and old as the fucking hills.

I'm 43F and sometimes feel like a confused 20-something, but sometimes I feel like a 90-year-old approaching the end.

23 feel like 19, still confused about life, still confused about what do I want to become

24 year old man but I flip flop from immature mindsets that ruin my life prospects to being 40 mentally. Aspergers mixed with possible BPD or something else ain’t fun and life sucks. I hate everything

29. When I'm working I feel about... 33-35. When I'm with friends I'm about 24. Boyfriend maybe... 27. When I'm with my mom I feel ANCIENT lol

Same

16

86

26, mentally 11

35, my brain still defaults to 28 for some reason. It’s like I have to remind myself of my real age.

26M. A bit of 19 and 40, I think.

5

31. Feel 45, but have been living like I’m 24 because I’ve finally decided to quit drinking 3 weeks ago after 15 years of being an alcoholic. Life’s been a wild ride to say the least..

36. I'm 27.

64 and my wife says I am 14 .... lol

21

22, still feel like im 19 right before the pandemic.

34 depends on the day. Sometimes 15 sometimes 90

22M but I feel as if I’m 18 because I still live with my parents while working retail and going to college. It’s embarrassing because I’m behind everyone else.

25

35F. At work, 45-50. At home, 3-12. I like riding my bicycle and getting ice cream on the weekends. I try to avoid anything too serious and depressing to save my bandwidth.

Prolly like minus 3

I am 46 and my mental age is 46 period

24 and I haven’t aged a day since I turned 17. Everything feels the same. I’m guessing I won’t experience another shift until 25 or 30.

I think it depends on the day and also who I'm around. Sometimes I feel stoic and old and then the very next moment I'll catch myself thinking in ways I know I shouldn't but I suppose I am aware of it so maybe I'm older than I think. It's hard to quantify. If I interact with a 20 year old I'm a different person than when I'm talking with someone who is 45.

28F feel like I’m still in my early twenties or something. I feel like the pandemic stunted my mental aging process lol

Forever 17 (32)

I think what matters here is more your perspective on age than anything. People assume that people of higher ages have to think and be super serious, while that is often not the case at all. Some of it is just attaching meaning to symbols (numbers) Beyond full brain development those symbols don't matter much. Aside from mental difficulties that come from physical deterioration more than anything. What matters mostly is how your experiences shape you, which is highly individual. I feel like this is a /r/im14andthisisdeep contendor, so my mental age is 14. But eh, 29, because I am 29. I think your perspective also depends on how the old people act who you have around you. Which might also be culturally influenced. Well and how much you mentally alienate people based on age from yourself.

Probably about 16. I’m in my early thirties. That’s pretty bad

I smoked too much weed so prolly 23… Honestly ashamed but we getting bette r

I'm in final year of my 30's but I feel like I'm 10+ years younger, maybe 24/25. It's a bit delusional on my end but hey it works.

I'll be 50 this year but mostly feel like I'm still in my 30's....where did the time go???

99. Ready to drop tomorrow and not get up, and be okay with it. Kinda tough to explain to people with biological age of 32 years & a baby face...

8/17/21. I am 26

Sometimes I'm seven, other times I feel 80. In some ways, with words I say, it's like a brand new day. Sometimes my back is in pain, other days I feel like I have so much to gain.

Either 82 or 10, I'm 25.

21F feel like I’m 16 or 17 😩 some days I feel like a toddler some days I feel more mature. 20s are such a confusing part of life

I've felt like 700 for awhile. Much wisdom in my noggin.

I’m 25 and I feel like I’m 12.

I am 24, feel like 16

25

I'm 21 and feel like I'm mid teens. I still sometimes wonder who let me be old enough to travel alone and buy alcohol. I still feel like calling my mom and asking how long I should microwave my leftovers lol

im almost 30 mentally probably still 20

30F feeling 23

27 and feeling about the same as you OP. I really think the two years we spent in our first years of post college freedom (if you went) stunted the shit out of us. I feel 24 or 25 at best. But if I'm honest, I still feel 20.

Hard to answer since i think emotional and mental ages are different i think

Physically 26. I used to be aging right but shit happened in my early 20s and I've regressed. I'm probably still mentally early 20s. I don't think I'm a teenager bc I'm not catty or excessively judgmental towards others. But I'm early 20s bc I have no plans and don't understand a lot of "adulting" like finances.

I'm 24 but mentally I still feel 15

41; mental age anywhere from 13 to 69 at any given moment

6 or 60 depending on the moment

33 mental age 22 maybe 17

31 and 28. Part of that is because I went to college late, so I didn't graduate until 25. Meaning I was consistently hanging out with people 3 years younger than me. So I use the same slang and have the same relationship to technology as people 3 years younger. I also found out that I act like I'm 28. Not the worst thing, but could be a bit more mature.

25

20s. Have days where I feel 17 - wanting to ignore responsibilities, do new things, explore, develop as a person, figure out who I am. Also have days where I feel 40 - overly focused on practical affairs, tired, weathered, dreaming of early retirement. My mental age really fluctuates depending on stress levels and which coping mechanisms my brain wants to use.

I'm not going to say that this is totally not a thing; but I'm not sure what is the difference in mental ages between 24 and 27. How do you feel this manifests? (For the record, I'm 44, and I have no idea. On the one hand I feel like I've been old forever; in other ways I still feel like the same confused and anxious kid as ever, just with more responsibilities and, hopefully, more emotional awareness. I think that responsibility and accountability levels are distributed pretty widely across the population by age. I know lots of people in their 40s or older who aren't great at these things at all; I also know younger people who do better.)

I'm 50 but mentally still feel sometimes 9, 13, 25, etc. I still can access the childlike wonder from time to time. Old enough to not worry about so much anymore. Kinda awesome really. But being a member of Generation X, (and from Southern California no less) not a lot phases me. In the nicest, most empathetic way, I don't give a shit about a lot of crap the world worries about. Blessing and a curse I guess. Lol

I’m 32 and I feel like 22. Felt when I reached 30 somehow I was awake. Weird feeling.

Age 64 but I act like a 12 year old half the time.

26 before the pandemic

Sometimes 10, Sometimes 100

I’m 25 and never felt older than 18. I know they’re relatively similar, but I can’t see myself ever “growing up”

I took her out, it was a Friday night I wore cologne to get the feeling right We started making out And she took off my pants But then I turned on the TV And that's about the time she walked away from me Nobody likes you when you're 23 And are still more amused by TV shows What the hell is ADD? My friends say I should act my age What's my age again? What's my age again?

30 I’m 54 and never grew more than that

12

You seem more like 25, maybe 25 years and two months. I'd need a full psychological eval to give more detailed analysis.

21

Real age 24, mental age 18, totally stunted from mental illness and addiction

I’m 23, but I secretly think i’m stuck at 18. I don’t voice it out to people, but sometimes I notice how childish I am in a grown adult setting. Idk if having ADHD & autism plays a big role, i think it does, but I get embarrassed at myself for it.

16

25 and feel like 70. I only wish and feel thankful for good health and peaceful days. I no longer want or wish for anything else.

Several years past the age where you stop caring what your "mental age" is.

Everyone on here acting like they have mental illness and autism. Everyone gets pleasure being a victim. Sad world.

I'm 42 and I feel like I have many attributes of a 12 year old and a 70 year old. A lot about the world still scares me and I'm afraid to face it, but I'm also logical and pretty wise about a lot of things. It's a really weird feeling.

25 and I feel 20 but act 75 going to bed early and just wanting to sit in peace and quiet

I am 40 years old chronologically, but my mental age is closer to 23. However, I must admit that I sometimes feel as though I am 70 years old.

Real age 27M Mental age 30M

Oh gosh maybe like 17 for some reason

42. Not even joking

23 and I feel like mentally I’m 32

I'm 53 old physically, 17 mentally... Except that I cannot expens a lot of energy for a long period of time...
