much younger than my age most of the time... maybe like a "teen" or even a "pre teen" and people (no one on pc) sometimes comment on it, saying I shouldn't think or feel this or that... get so hurt by people... etc.
I agree I suppose and I suppose they are trying to help  (some of them are quite harsh about it but I've learnt not to assume that they are trying to hurt me, I don't think these people are meaning to hurt me. One friend (no one from pc) who I still talk to was very harsh with me... but I didn't snap back at her, thats just who she is. And she was having a bad day. (a few bad days) I've learnt to look at the heart, behind the words, and to accept an apology or an attempt to smooth things over. (I may or may not want much to do with the person, but I don't beat myself up usually for long because of a "friend's" anger.) If everyone was the same, how boring life would be.)Disclaimer! These are "irl friends". Thank you. It makes me feel like a waste of space and pointless... How do I "grow up"? (currently out of money to see a private T but will, again, soon. As soon as I can afford to pay for a T I will. Not sure if this is the right forum and I feel like deleting this  )

No im glad you posted this i think its an interesting topic...I don't like this idea that we're supposed to conform to a certain way of being when we're a certain age. No one should be telling you not to be like this or that - thats not their place and besides you are who you are and your feelings are your own not someone elses. Try not to worry about what people say on here - i sure as hell don't. Here, or msn or facebook isn't real life and think about it...would people tell you half the things they say on here or elsewhere to your face? Probably not. Keep talking, i care

Please don't delete it, your voice is important too
I can relate to much of what you posted. During my early school years it was suggested more than once that I skip a grade, but upon evaluation it was found that I wasn't emotionally mature enough... Fast forward 20yrs or so, and I still find myself trying to grow up already. And it doesn't help that I look atleast 5yrs younger than I am. I have NEVER taken full responsibility for myself or my daughter, and you'd think after 8yrs I'd have a clue... Fuzzy, I don't have a solution, I'm sorry. But I hear you

Ditto with Echoes, I think mental illness stunted my maturity & self confidence from an early age, around 4or5 yrs old.
I can except an apology from a close friend. But a casual acquaintance who tries to make things right, well, trust issues come into play & I steer clear. So Fuzzy, can totally understand & know you are not alone. Might I add that it is so good to see you post, great thread.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
