To me, my inner child is EXACTLY like what amandalouise said,

Quote:
how do people know when they have or are feeling their inner child - by paying attention to how they feel. to put it simply if you feeling like you did when you were a child thats your inner child.
Some examples that come to mind:

Like when I went to Disney World for the first time in my life just a few years ago.....I literally felt like a child while I was there (the only time I wasn't embarrassed by it btw).

Like when I see my parents, who never let me mature and grow up in a healthy way.....I literally feel like a child in their presence.

Like when I'm feeling sad or scared......I literally feel like a child inside. An adult on the outside, but a child on the inside and I don't know how to experience those feelings in a mature way (this is where therapy comes in for me).
Thanks for this!
