I find it somewhat discouraging it is seen this way. I actually don't know why it is wrong and sick to have a young identity.
It causes problems sure, but a lot of things do in life.
If I was given the option to have a younger body or mature mentally suddenly, I would never ever choose the latter. I want to be me still. If other people think it is silly I act like a kid, fine. But I have always wanted to be me all my life and many people have told me I am wrong in this and that and should change who I am.

That's been the same for me. People, especially my family, has been trying to change me all my life. I used to try to be who they wanted me to be, but I was even more miserable and I was still constantly treated like I wasn't good enough.
Its strange to hear though that there's someone who doesn't think I'm a freak or sick because of what I identify as. I don't understand why I do, but I'm tired of being afraid of what others will think.
