Lurker here.
But, this is an on-going problem, that is confusing the hell out of me.

I'm twenty-five, born in eighty seven. But, why, oh why do I look, feel and act fifteen?

I don't get it. I'm:

• Holding down a job for the last five years
• Financially comfortable after paying rent
• With an separate cash ISA
• Living with my sole surviving primary family member (Dad)
• Earnt my driving license
• Paying car insurance and driving regularly etc...

and yet...

• Still suffering from acne after thirteen hellish years
• Generally look younger than my age, commented on by everyone
• Literally no self esteem
• Still have no identity or direction
• Career-less, I've only stayed in my current job because of economic outlook
• Still fighting against the expectations of Dad & what Mum & Nan would of wanted
• Friendless and socially adrift
• Prefer teenage movies, literature and tv dramas (Made in Chelsea, Dash & Lily, Battle Royale, Breakfast Club, Juno etc...)
• Poor health
• Non existent romantic relationships past or present
• Just emotionally annihilated

I know I'm not in an ideal place, with literally no support systems in place and generally just surviving from week to week, but why am I getting younger or stuck at fifteen/sixteen and not moving on? I've been to two weddings in the last two years and now colleagues at work are building families and generally moving on in life. I'm either older or equal age and yet moving backwards?

Can anyone make any sense of all this?
