Nope, but I feel from the outside looking in. People think of me this way

Yeah, I’m obsessed with peanut butter.

At a certain age you don’t have to grow up anymore. You made it already that far.

Not for me. But I want some time that my children were never grown up. They remain as 4-5 years of child.

I used to be really responsible. I still am, but have the daily workings of a child.

I froze in time at 16 years old. I’m 51, i pay my bills, I’m responsible, but i constantly see myself in the lens of how old i was when i first got sick. It’s like, emotionally, i never grew up, but my failing body decries that as old-age illnesses start to pop up.

Same here.
I’m stuck at around 18 years old
I mean intellectually I’m 60 but emotionally I’m a kid

Feeling the urge to sing coming on…“I don’t want to grow up, Im a toys are us kid”…“Be courageous and be brave
And in my heart, you’ll always stay
Forever young, forever young
Forever young, forever young”

" *Tonight, we are young
So let’s set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun."

Some seem not to mature at all and still act liked stupid teenagers as adults. Getting some life wisdoms seem impossible to grow.

I don’t believe I have that syndrome. But what does ‘grown up’ mean to you exactly? Is it being able to accomplish certain task on ones own, emotional intelligence, stop playing with some toys/games or something else?
