That makes sense, I just happen to have ADHD.
Same and same.
I certainly feel younger than my body. I always lagged behind socially, and it became a larger and larger gap as I got older. Ironically I'm incredibly skilled at getting ahead in my professional life, but in my personal life all of my friends are ~10 years younger than me and I vibe with their energy and mindset.
Ooooh! I’m about the mental age of my sister (younger).
As someone with D. I. D. Sometimes yea
I remember my dad talking about conversations he had with my grandma saying she felt like she was still young.
Due to my job I end up working working with kids half my age and I still don't feel like an adult.
I don't think anyone ever truly feels like they've grown up and we're all just pretending.
I gather most people don't imagine themselves internally to be an old person. Lots of old folks say this
