How do you feel about your age?

[Mimi Cheems]

Ah... This is quite tough for me.

I feel like all three. It just depends on my mood, you know? :0

I turned 30 this year and I still feel like I'm 21.

I also don't look my age, someone just recently mistake me as a teenager.
However, my mom calls me an old lady because I refuse to carry a cellphone (I do, but I only use it when it's time to) and for other stuff I may have done.

 

[Valzed]

I can relate to this so much!

This was actually a difficult poll for me because it depends. I'm a middle-aged woman and I often physically feel older than my age. I get aches and pains and I struggle with being physically active now. My own parents call me an old lady because if I go out somewhere and do anything I get exhausted. I need several days to stay at home and recuperate after a vacation. Of course, this is largely due to my social anxiety and needing a break from people, but it still makes me feel old. I've also always been mature and responsible. My parents said that I spoiled them because even as a toddler I looked out for my mom and helped her out so much.

But on the other hand, I've always looked young for my age. People often think I'm 5 to 10 years younger than my actual age. Plus my interests are more in line with young people. I still love fantasy, gaming, comics and anime after all these years and I don't think that will ever change.

I was a latch key kid & a single child so I learned how to take care of myself and be responsible while in grade school. Adults always told my parents they were lucky because I was like a little grown up. I did get in some trouble as a teen and had my son at 16 but that made me even more responsible as I was a parent. Despite all that I still love cartoons, video games, board games, fantasy, sci fi, being a nerd and a dork. lol!

As someone who looks far younger than they actually are, I'd say I probably act and feel younger too. Adult responsibility is difficult to grasp sometimes, and there are moments where I feel really irresponsible and definitely not someone midway through their twenties. Though some of my friends tell me I have an old and mature head on my shoulders, I honestly don't feel like it sometimes, especially when it comes to tackling my own problems and when I'm having a moment of vulnerability, which probably isn't out of the ordinary for most people when I think about it...

 

[Princess Mipha]

I am extremelly childish and honestly, I don't really mind it.
I don't like that for example my boyfriend says I'm too old to play with Playmobil
or to get tons of new plush since I'm already 22 years old, but come on..
if it makes me happy, let me act like a 12 years old kid that plays with Playmobil!

 

[LambdaDelta]

I uh

actually really aren't sure, myself

 

[maple22]

I'd give anything to be a little kid again, even though I probably "act" closest to a grumpy 60-year-old woman

 

[ali.di.magix]

I feel like and act younger than my actual age. I also don't look my age either, as most people think I'm 16-18 where I'm coming up 22 lol. I joke around a lot, it helps me deal with anxious situations, and try to act calm and carefree, so I think that contributes to making me feel younger. I feel like I've probably experienced less compared to others, but I'm not really bothered by that as I'm going at my own pace at life and will get there eventually. I can act mature for my age when I want or need to though.

 

[KaydeeKrunk]

I voted for the middle because I do both act older and younger than myself. I matured way too soon as a kid and got on with adults better than kids my age. And I also still as a full adult love toys and cute things, children's movies, etc. While simultaneously feeling like I'm a grandma.

 

[Buttonsy]

I picked "I feel like and act older than my age", but it's more like "I feel younger than my age and act older than my age". I don't necessarily think I'm completely mature, I often would even consider myself childlike, and I actually sometimes really struggle with the fact that I'm an adult now, but at the same time, I had a lot of traumatic situations in my childhood that I feel sort of aged me.

 

[Liability]

i feel and act like my actual age. when i was younger, everyone would always tell me i'm mature for my age, so now it fits

 

[Lazaros]

personally, i do feel older than my actual age. i have no things in common with people my age, i just find them plain annoying usually, and i much rather stick to my books at home than anything else. other people always call me out on my behavior, going as far as having actual relatives call me out on acting like a grumpy 80 year old man that doesn‘t like anyone. as for others, they also either say that or guess i‘m in my mid to late twenties for some years now.

 

[rhinoo]

I'm 13 and I act like 4 or something.

 

[gobby]

In school I used to act very mature, but I pretty much act more my age now

 

[dizzy bone]

Looks wise, I'm 28 and I get mistaken for a high schooler all the time lol. I've gotten student price discounts just by standing in line behind another student in uniform and they assumed I was a student too. At some point, all my online friends have assumed I was around their age (usually 23 and below ;.; ) even though I'm usually years older.. maybe it's my voice or the way I chat online idk. I don't know if I act my age or not honestly. I got all my adult responsibilities and I'm independent for the most part. I don't count gaming as a quality of being "young" as all adults can enjoy gaming. I have a few friends my age and older who I regularly game with after taking care of our "adult responsibilities" lmao.

 

[honeymoo]

I'm 19 and I think I'm like most people my age.

 

[pinkbunny]

I'm 18 and still feel like I'm 14 tbh ahaha. Growing up is pretty scary and I'm not particularly looking forward to getting older.

 

[duckykate]

everyone thinks i'm 12 GHGHGGFFR

 

[peppy villager]

I certainly don't feel 21. I feel older. then I remember I'm on an ACNL forum...

 

[Balverine]

I'm 23; most people say I look really young for my age (bUt YoUlL aPpReCiAtE iT wHeN yOuRe OlDeR kill me) but I feel kind of old lmao
i'm probably not active enough is the thing, but I feel like i'm 50 most of the time instead of my early twenties. I do have a lot of 'childish' hobbies, though, so I guess it's sorta give and take
